“Would be a very tight fit.” he grinned. “So how long to the restaurant?”

"Well it's inside the capital. If we can keep Buttercup at a trot, it's just under an hour. That's if she's not feeling stubborn and lazy." Clio grinned when Buttercup snorted at her, speeding up to a quick but steady trot. "We should be there just as it's starting to actually get dark. Most of the crowd will have moved on, but Pietro keeps the place open well past midnight. He thinks that people leaving the bars should have access to good, fresh food. Not just the crappy replicated stuff at the cheaper 'fast food' places."

“Sounds good.” he tapped a few commands in a pad that he pulled out of his pocket and Spunky was transported to the back of the wagon. She was surprised but happy when she saw that everyone, even her horse friend was there. She mewed and huffed hello to the horse.

Hearing Spunky's mewing, Buttercup immediately perked up and relaxed considerably, all the tension flowing out of her. Clio shook her head slightly, amazed at the transformation. "Wow. I never would have thought that a horse would warm up to a cave cat like that, but they're bonded somehow all right."

Spunky actually jumped up on Buttercups back, being very careful not to let the claws come out, without any effort she laid down on the back of the massive horse and purred. “I think she has missed her firend.”

"If I'd known about it, I'd have left her in the pen. Her balance is pretty incredible, to lay on Buttercup's back while she's trotting." Clio watched them, wondering how Spunky managed to stay on Buttercup's back without using her claws. "Well... she knows the property lines. We can leave her outside with the horses when no one is home. Or even at night, if she wants. I have a 'doggie door' installed that's still big enough for her to go through if she wants to come back inside, but it won't work for much longer. We'll have to build a bigger one or leave the hangar door cracked for her."

“Maybe we can make an underground cave system for the cave cats, have it lead to the basement. Maybe have the pride live here, perfect guardians of that back door if they decide to live there.”

"I'll ask them if they're interested in something like that. I know they're already coming onto the property... more and more little sets of tracks are popping up. I'm not certain, but I think there's a den in the woods where the riding path is."

“Hmm, I just hope that won't cause any problems. The horses might not like the idea of top predators like that close by... What do you think?”

"I'll ask them too, but they haven't had a problem with the cats coming close yet. It's... weird, actually. They go nuts if a strange dog comes close to the pen, but they don't seem to mind the cave cats at all. I don't know how to explain it."

“Hmm,” he rubbed his chin. “Maybe it is known by the animals who travel that rout that they are there as protectors... Maybe that is streching it...”

"That seems like it might be a bit of a stretch. But I don't have an explanation that makes sense... I mean, we know the cave cats are semi-sentient, but horses aren't. And as far as we know, the cats aren't telepaths. They can communicate with telepaths - to an extent - but they aren't telepathic themselves." Clio paused, thinking about the times she'd taken Murphy up the mountain and into the pride. "Murphy knows he's safe with them too, but that's only because I told him..."

“These creatures sure are an enigma.” he observed how Spunky actually slept on the back of the horse and the horse was in a better mood then it was earlier.

"They really are. I don't think I've met a fully sentient species that was this complex... and I've met a lot of sentient species over the years. Probably the closest in complexity is Peach, but I think a lot of that is just because I didn't grow up on one of the bioships. If I had, I'd understand her better."

“True. Is it just me or is Buttercup more bouncy in her step then before.”
