Alonzo's ears flickered again. "Really? You sure your memory isn't just playing you?"

Tip of his tail twitching up, Alonzo considered him, unsure whether to smile and preen at the compliment or head for the hills. "Thanks? I'm pretty sure that's a thanks."

Running a paw through his black and white headfur, Alonzo offered him a tiny smile. "Well, that looks like a pretty interesting carving in your paws there."

Jerrie glanced down at the wood, not quite remembering what he was actually working on. He grinned slightly at the rough shape of the bird that was formed there, "Thanks. It ain't much really. Jus' somethin' to do with m' paws."

"I always wonder why not though," Alonzo remarked. "I mean, seeing so many cats and never talking to them. You never know who you might be missing if you do that. Not," he paused. "Like I'm that much better at it."
