Ripley about died at the sight of the tiny black creature in Graham's hand. All fluff and fur where it was curled up, woken by the sudden absence of all that surrounding warmth and peeking bleary little sleepy blue eyes at the bright waking world.
He lifted her carefully from Graham's grasp, tucking her against his chest with all the gentle movements of a mother cat as he brushed two fingers along her fur. She was a lovely little thing and his smile was brighter than the christmas tree behind him when he smiled at her.
"She's a beautiful little thing. Hello darling. Good evening. I know, I'm no where near as comfortably warm as he is, am I? Did Wolf wake you up with all his ruckus?"
He rubbed lightly under her chin and glanced over at Graham with really what could only be claimed as a dorky, happy grin.
"She's fantastic, Graham."
He was already side-tracked again a moment later as he crouched down, one hand surprisingly efficiently keeping Wolf out of direct reach for anything more than curious snuffles and licks.
"Say hello, boy. It looks like you are going to need to get used to not being an only child any more. Be nice to your baby sister, yeah?"
