A Bargaining Session

Meow! Meow! Perhaps it smelled money, but the little thieving cat, Loki, jumped out of its interspatial bracelet. "Why did you have to come out now?" Bobby thought, annoyed. "I hope they don't make me pay more for you." Luckily, since Loki was very small, he was allowed to travel for free. He purred loudly, attracting the attention of two young girls that had entered the ship before them. "What a cute cat," one of them said. "It looks very smart," said the other. The golden-robed noble also looked at the cat with interest but didn't say anything.
