If nothing else, Bastien is good at being a distraction. Little Duibhe must have sensed this and made a mad dash for the goods. Despite his dislike for felines, Bastien has a new found respect for Duibhe. She'll be a crafty little devil once she reaches of age, the perfect pet for a swashbuckling privateer like Bastien. It also helps that she's cute. He can't stop grinning as he watches Duihbe eat her breakfast. The poor
silly little thing is trying to eat her weight in fruit.

"No need for apologies, Trae-luv." Bastien says with a hint of awe as he keeps his gaze on the little bat-kitten. "I think she's loads of fun." His previous trepidation is gone. "A real cutie even when she's stuffing her face with goodies." He reaches over to the bat cat, his fingers gently brushing over her leathery wing.

"Duihbe is definitely a keeper."
