resolve and resolution - Bragi Holm - June 2, 2019
May 29th, 1889 — High Street
Bragi was on a quest to find Maid Marian — his squishy ginger cat. She'd been missing since yesterday evening, and he'd searched half of North Bartonburg before a neighbour had suggested he try the alleyways of the High Street. The kind stranger, a lady by the name of Katerina Bass, had kitted him out with a small pouch of cat treats from Beautiful Beast Boutique, making the young Dane feel better equipped for the morning's mission as he poked his head into the first alleyway. "Marian...? Here puss!"

Thank Merlin she’d managed to get the day off. Gue, one of her mooncalves had decided to be cheeky the other day and stole her wand from her when she wasn’t looking. Amelia had spent the last few hours of her shift playing a game of hot potato with the small herd of calves trying to get her wand back. And when she’d successfully done so, the babies got in a squabble which she’d had to break apart. The last thing she wanted to do was go back. They were cute but they could be menaces.
With Penny at her heels and Pascal in her satchel, the witch scrolled through the High Street collecting the last bits and bobs for her morning errands. She had decided to take a short cut and kill two birds with one stone by letting Pascal prance around lazily. The cat had just taken a leap onto an obliging shelf when a young man poked his head from around the corner.
It appeared he was searching for a cat named Marian. Amelia furrowed her brow and upped her pace as she headed towards the young man. ”Hello, are you looking for someone?” she inquired as Penny gave a small woof of welcome and peered ourt from behind her skirts.

Bragi’s heart leapt almost unpleasantly when he spotted a cat — but it was not his cat. Nor did it look like a stray, and Bragi blinked from its well-kept coat to someone likely to be its mistress. She appeared from the other end of the alleyway in a blaze of long auburn hair, and despite his troubles he could not help but notice her very district eyes. What a curious looking person!
”Oh I, erm — yes”, he replied, with a good deal less grace than he’d wanted. He’d been distracted again, this time by the wuff of a dog at her heels. Bragi fingered the pouch of cat treats in his hand. ”I don’t suppose you’ve seen a large ginger cat around here? She answers to Maid Marian. Or just Marian. Or Shnookums, sometimes…”

Aside from her large ginger (and white) cat Amelia hadn't seen another ginger cat anywhere in the vicinity, however that didn't mean it wasn't nearby. Years of wrangling animals (especially cats) had taught her the most amazing places creatures could hide if they put their minds to it.
Maid Marian, she thought, what an adorable name! Though she thought she preferred Shnookums.... The witch shook her head, wincing in apology. "I'm sorry, I haven't seen her anywhere." she said, "Has she gotten away like this before?" Perhaps if the cat had wandered away they'd be able to find her the last place she had hidden.
It seemed the treats were causing a bit of a distraction for the animals. The Australian Shepherd woofed again and took a step towards the man, sniffing the air for the treats she'd caught the scent of while the Maine Coon leaned forward and pawed the air.

Bragi would later feel a little awkward at having relied this day on the sympathies of young ladies, but for now would take all the help he could get, and remain ever grateful. Although lacking what Mrs Wilson might rather meanly call the societal graces of the previous lady, this new stranger seemed rather more likely to indulge in his quest until his cat were found or his hopes did stramsh. She was, after all, surrounded by animals herself.
"She hasn't", he replied, chewing his lower lip. "But we are new to Hogsmeade, she may be lost. A neighbour suggested I check these alleyways", he nodded back the way she'd come, "apparently a haunt for roaming cats".
Suddenly Bragi heard a noise up the far end of the alley behind a pile of abandoned trellises. "Ah — could that be...?" he marched hurriedly towards the noise.
The lady and her animals might be first to realise it was just a fox.

Amelia , seeing that the cat was about to make a leap for the treats, caught the animal around the middle and placed him next to Penny, bidding them to stay. "Sir, I'm sure Maid Marian will turn up eventually she can't have gone very far." she said, turning back around, only to find the young man taken off.
She moved to hasten after him, picking up her skirts. She caught up to him, her expression expectant; "Oh, dear," she pursed her lips. "Not yours, I presume."
The fox swished its tail, and a feeling of uneasiness came over her and she took a few steps back. "We might elect to search further, and with haste." she said quietly to him. "Whilst foxes do not pose great danger to felines, they do chase them; this one might make our search even more difficult should it find Maid Marian before we."

Bragi felt his heart lurch as he realised it was a fox, which surely he’d known all along. It just really helped to hope.
But as he turned away from the fox (who fled) and regarded the kind stranger with her earnest words of cool determination, he felt exactly that — hope. She warmed the fearful chill in his chest, and he would’ve smiled had he not felt so anxious. But he also felt something else: guilt. She was evidently a busy soul, though very gracefully so, and he was outright disrupting her.
”Goodness — I couldn’t possibly ask you to help, miss. You’ve been so kind already, and I so selfish. Please don’t let me hold you up.”

The witch regarded the young man's face, observing his obvious anxiousness and worry that he might be holding her up. She offered a kind smile and shook her head, rejecting his offer for her to leave. "Nonsense," she said. Were they closer acquaintences Amelia would have given him a comforting pat on the back. "Let us keep looking!"
As she turned around, Penny gave a bark and trotted off to the right. "Perhaps Penny has found something!" Amelia chirped, looking back to motion to the young man. "Make haste, we might just miss her!""

Bragi opened his mouth briefly as if to object, but of course he did not, because to do so again would be churlish — and besides, he absolutely wanted her help; and, he appreciated it more than he could utter.
And so he said nothing further on the matter, but might’ve smiled had a certain Penny not taken leadership of the situation. The fluffy dog headed across to the right with an assertive bark, and Bragi exchanged glances with his new acquaintance before nodding and following the young lady and her pup towards what he hoped would eventually be the lost and sought-after Maid Marian.

"Oh, look!" she cried, resisting the urge to raise her voice too much in excitement. Where Penny had headed, she had glimpsed a rather large ginger tail. It wasn't Pascal, for as big as the Maine Coon was, his tail had white on the end.
Merlin, that cat was large. "Might that be our elusive Maid Marian?" she whispered, not wishing to startle the animal.

His new acquaintance spotted the cat before Bragi did, and when she exclaimed his heart leapt a thousand miles into the air. ”Ah!” he piped up, rushing towards his furry friend, who was seated quite comfortably in a broken nook in the wall, ”it is!” Feelings came rushing into the cavern of his chest like a watergate had been opened as he crouched beside his beloved pet.
”And — “
The arms outstretched to Marian dropped by his side. He blinked —
Five newborn kittens lay mewling at Marian’s paws.

She followed the young man, thinking this evening was ending up quite more exciting than she anticipated it to be. A hunt for a cat, how fun! Of course, it was fun now that they knew the animal was nice, safe and – "Oh!"
What lay in the cat's little nook, well Amelia could just about die there and be happy. She resisted the urge to let out a squeal of delight. When it came to litters of pups, kittens, mooncalves, Amelia became decidedly giddy. She put her hands up to her face in surprise. "Kittens!" she gushed. "Oh my goodness, well now we know what she's been up to these past hours being gone!" Creating a little family!

Like a man in love, Bragi’s heart fizzed and sparked with excitement at seeing the five little kitties. On one knee beside them, Bragi clasped his hands together to help resist the temptation to scoop them all up. The kittens were very small and delicate, he had to be careful.
”I can’t believe it, Marian”, he breathed, and the cat gave a low-pitched purr.
Bragi smiled up at his acquaintance. ”I suppose the next riddle is how to bring them all back to my cottage!”

Amelia was glad to see he was excited by the prospect of new kittens. She knew that to some people, especially those in the lower crust of her class would be burdend by the aspect of more mouths to feed. She beamed at the young man and excitedly fluttered her hand up in the air. "Oh, please do allow me to assist!" she said, kneeling beside him, her skirts billowing out around her. She had little to do on her schedule this evening and the prospect of helping with baby kittens was most exciting!
RE: resolve and resolution - Bragi Holm - August 13, 2019
”I should be very glad of your help”, he breathed gratefully, having never dealt with anything like this before. It was possible the young woman hadn’t either, but she seemed so much better equipped. She even had a satchel with her.
But before the two could make any move, Marian — the new mother — caught a whiff of the fluffy dog accompanying the lady, and her eyes widened, back arching, fur bristling…

Amelia was about to reach for the kittens when the cat suddenly arched it's back and started to glare protectively. She drew back, willing to give the new mother her space when she realized the cat wasn't angry at her but Penny, who had crept forwards and started sniffing at the newcomers. "Ooohh, Penny," she said, placing a hand on the dog's side, slowly nudging her behind Amelia.
There wasn't much getting around the fact that after touching Penny, it would be hard to pick up the kittens without mother's glare of death. Amelia winced her apologies at the young man. "I'm afraid I might be causing more harm than good, sir." she admitted apologetically.
