When Adonis turned away, Billie bit her lips to try and keep from laughing at the poor creature. She felt bad, of course, but it was difficult not to giggle at his reaction. She couldn't give it much though, though, for she soon heard Gideon, and all her attention was on him once more.
"F...for me?" Wide, astonished eyes blinked, unsure how to react. It was clear that acts of kindness were still new to her, but the fact that Gideon had gone out of his way to procure a cat just for her was in a new realm altogether. Her mother would never have done such a thing. Anything she had received from the woman had been necessities, patched up clothing, hand-me-down boots, and bits of food. No thought put into it.
She just couldn't fathom why Gideon would give her a cat of her own.
Gingerly, she reached out for the tiny kitten, and hugged him against her chest. Billie nuzzled the top of his tiny head with her cheek and just stood there, swaying with it as if she were soothing a human baby. A delighted, soft smile stretched to her eyes, and she appeared as if she was near to bursting with happiness. She kept glancing from Gideon to the cat and back again, just grinning.
"Thank ya." She finally managed to whisper out, her tone grateful and still shocked that Gideon had given her a kitten of her very own.
She loved the little fur ball, already.
"Don't worry, Adonis, I'll still play with ya too, okay?" She commented, as if the thought of her suddenly loving another creature would offend the poor feline.
Shuffling closer to Gideon, she plopped down on the floor near him, the little black poof in her lap.
"Thank ya, Mr. Ollivander."
MJ, yet again working her magic. <3 <3 Thank you
