[Jeb had woken up extra early that morning--half because of what he was about to do and half because he had been stirred into consciousness by a little kitten tongue licking his face. However, when he had gotten dressed and started sneaking out the door, he found that his new companion wouldn't stop following him. Even feeding her didn't seem to make her happy. He didn't want her mewls to wake Silver up, so he picked her up and wrapped her in couple of towels...

Now the kitten (named "Marie" if her nametag was any indication, which made Jeb happy and sad at the same time) was bundled under one arm and a present was bundled under the other. Approaching Mithos' home, he felt more and more anxious. This was... probably a really bad idea. But he had come this far, so when he got to his destination he placed the present at the doorstep, knocking a little before turning to walk away.]

Okay, there we go... ["Mew."] No, Marie. I wish we could stay, but I know we're not going to be welcomed. ["Meeew."] Let's go home now, okay? I can introduce you to Silver and his Pokemon. [And he's off.]
