Billie was oblivious to the fact that Gideon had thought she'd just thrown out a curse word. It wasn't uncommon for her to swear, and, most of the time, she didn't even realize she was doing it. She had probably slipped up a few times with him, even though she did tend to watch her language at least a tiny bit more than she did with other people.

"I dunno, but I think Soot and Adonis is hungry, too." The youngster glanced at the two cats fondly. Even when she had struggled to feed herself, she always thought about the appetites of other creatures. She couldn't help it.

"Maybe somethin' with meat in it so's we can all eat together? Don't ya think that would be real nice, Mr....erm...Gideon?"

Happily, she scooped the kitten up again and climbed to her feet so she could better see Gideon and Adonis. Her family. At least, that's what she called it in her head; she was much too afraid to utter the word out loud.
