[The cat on the screen might be familiar by now. He sits primly with both paws neatly side by side and his tail curled around him, the tip lightly flicking up and down.]

I did wonder what I was doing here at all, to begin with. [He says. The statement has the air of someone continuing an earlier conversation, though he hasn't made many outreaches on the network at all.] Summoned to another world to save a hundred others? I had no care for my own world, let alone this one or anyone else's.

[The bell that usually hangs on his collar - for those who are well-acquainted enough with the feline to notice - is now missing, though the green tear-shaped pendant is still present.]

I cared not a bit for Geardagas, either. The sheer audacity of pulling me about the multiverse like a toy is not something I have ever come to appreciate from these places that seem to 'need' my presence. [But then... Mogget looks thoughtful, as much as a cat is able to make such an expression.]

I wonder if I was too harsh in my evaluations. If multitudes of worlds and the people in them may be worth the effort after all. [His ears twitch.] Even the worst of them, if it means also saving the best, no?

Oh. [ She hadn't expected anything like that. ] I'm glad he eventually was able to free you.

Would you stay in his company after being freed, though?

[themogget]

Hm? I might return, once I'm through with exercising the ability to explore that has been denied to me for almost as long as Sameth's bloodline has existed.

[That's a roundabout way of saying 'yes', and Sameth would not have freed him if he hadn't entirely trusted Mogget's intentions at the time... given that he had already tried to kill the boy's mother twice (at least).]

He freed me as a matter of necessity not one of mercy, in order to contain a great evil. It was a risk, but he had faith that I would not turn on him as I have turned on his mother before.

[pricklybloom]

Oh, I see. [ If she's at all surprised by what Mogget says, she doesn't show it. Honestly, she's worked with people who have betrayed her and her friends before. ]

It sounds like you guys have a...complicated relationship. But I guess if it works for you both. [ There have been stranger ways to make friends. ]

[themogget]

[It's a long story and perhaps it's one that he'll tell her some day. It isn't really a secret, more something that happened so long ago as to be irrelevant to most.]

Complicated would be an understatement. [But again... long story.]

Suffice it to say that stating that you remind me of Sameth is not an insult.

[pricklybloom]

[ She'd definitely be willing to listen if he ever wanted to tell her someday. ]

I believe you. Thanks.
