The 'Kitten's Bared Claws (Cyra V / Sheena-Tiger)

[Cyra V]

For all of her life, the facility, and mostly, the one room within, was all 'Kit' really knew. Plain white, a dull grey blanket and simplistic bedding in the corner, a tiny side room where she could clean up and relieve herself, and people -- very familiar people to her, by now -- periodically checking in on her. Making sure she was fine, taking their occasional samples, and paying her little mind outside of that. Mostly, she'd just taken it for granted that it was everything she'd ever known, that there was probably little else to anything, so why fuss about it? A simple, if dull, routine, day after day, week after week. She had even, for the sake of 'modesty' -- a concept she didn't fully grasp -- been granted, a simple, loose-fitting dark sweater, and matching skirt that reached just past her knees and afforded her tail enough room to comfortably extend out from beneath it.

Yet, for all the routine, she'd found the scientists, as they came in, get a bit more complacent over time. Mentioning bits of their lives outside, leaving one of their bags behind at one point for her to swipe a tablet without them ever knowing, that even now rested hidden beneath her bedding, where she'd never let them find it. She saw buildings, cities, forests that felt strangely enticing. Most of all, it finally gave her something to occupy her time while the scientists weren't checking on her... up to the point where, finally, she'd huffily refused to give them the dignity of a regular, routine check-up. The cat had finally bared her claws, enough to get people to back off... and for one unlucky person that dared to try and come up with a needle to sedate her, a minor slash across the wrist.

"Get me whoever leads all of you. I'm only gonna talk to them right now. And I mean now," she'd demanded with a slight, definitively feline hiss to her voice, sending the poor scientist running through the halls of the relatively small, out of the way facility that contained the experiment, and everyone related to it, limited in number as they were. All this, for an experiment grown from a test tube, matured over the years into what she was now, and just now she was making some trouble out of absolute nowhere, the man couldn't help but think. He hoped, at least, that the chief scientist could do something about any of this, while the feline herself sat herself in the corner on her bedding and casually slipped out the tablet she'd stolen to fiddle with, not even caring any more if someone came back along while she had it out.

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

Anna, a young scientist in her mid twenties, was working away in her small office next to the main lab. Despite being not even 30 years old, it was her who was in charge of the whole experiment since a couple of years. She had not started it but taken over when the former leading scientist had left for another project. She was not the very best people-person but she was for sure, especially for her age, among the top scientists for anything genetic and biology in general while having studied into other fields as well. When she had first read about the project "Life 2.0" she had applied to take part in it and had been accepted, only as one of the scientists but quickly made her way up until, well, she got the leading position. Everyone knew that the nearly 1.7m bundle of knowledge disliked to be disturbed. Yes, she was not throwing a tantrum or even punished her people but there were other drawbacks like oddly small portions during lunch or even worse, failing equipment like chairs breaking down when sitting down. Of course, no one ever could prove she had tinkered with any equipment or saw her talking to the personnel in the kitchen but even if it was only some kind of curse, it only ever happened to those disturbing Anna.

Naturally the scientist was very nervous when he informed the purple haired young woman but she seemed to take it better than expected, only pushing her glasses up her nose while standing up from the papers, maybe hoping for some positive diversion from the boring work. "Okay... you tell me project Kit has done that to you and it is demanding things. I will look into this... and there better is something to your words, or you might be the first one to be fired for making such jokes and bad claims." she told the man before sending him off to see the doctor. Since Kit was living in a careful monitored almost sterile place, Anna was not worried about his well being from just a scratch but a look into the wound definitely should be done. The long haired woman made her way through the facility into the part where Kit's room was located, including a surveillance department with monitors linked to a few cameras covering Kit's small world, though over the years so much was routine and never had anything happened, the nowadays one person watching was very busy with other things and even Anna could not blame him. Watching 6 Monitors with Anna sitting on her bed or a chair all day long, it was a wonder people did not constantly fall asleep. At least, she could watch the incident on record and see the man had not told a lie but more curious was the object Kit was holding.

Breathing in deeply, planning on asking the guards how they could have missed Kit having a tablet without her knowing, but this discussion could wait until later while now Kit's behavior was holding back important information about her development. Leaving the guard alone she walked around a few corners, entered her code and used some scans to enter Kit's room. "Hello Kit. I hope you don't mind me coming in, since you asked to see me. I am sorry we never have the time to talk but I know almost everything there is about you... which is why I am quite surprised by what happened. The man only needs to take your blood pressure and a sample of your blood, you know it is a little prick and sitting still for a short moment." she said, nodding into the direction of the tools the scientist had left within the room, seemingly not thinking leaving a syringe laying around could be any danger.

 

[Cyra V]

Hearing the door starting to open before anything else -- the telltale 'beep's of the keypad were more than enough for her -- Kit's ears perked in mild interest, but more than that, her attention seemed focused on the tablet she was fiddling with, even as Anna herself entered. Given the faint twitches of her perked ears, though, it was clear enough that she was at least listening, even if the bulk of her attention was off elsewhere. It was just the same old thing, then, wasn't it? Taking for granted that this was all she had or seemingly needed to have, that this was all she'd ever known, and why should anything ever change? Well... because she finally wanted it to.

"Yeah, I know," she idly affirmed, not even looking up to the woman; she faintly recognized the voice, at the very least, and was confident that her ears would pick up every footstep nearby. As it was, the chief scientist she'd requested was far enough away that it wasn't any worry to her right now. "You keep me in here, take your 'samples', give me a little food, and that's it. Everything I have, everything I've ever known..." she went on, a hint of bitterness starting to leak into her voice... or perhaps, just as well, interest of some sort. Never mind that she was still staring at the tablet, where she'd drawn up who knew what. How she'd even figured out how to use the thing might just as well have been a wonder... but she'd proven to understand, in at least a basic form, what the people around here did and spoke; she wasn't just some dumb creature.

"And that… is why I've called you here," she spoke after another moment of staring at the tablet. Finally, she removed her gaze from it, turning the device to show off an image she had seemingly been perusing, that would be easy enough to make out even at a distance: a sparse forest, fresh grass, shaded trees. An image of a sort that had been enticing her for days now. "Why don't I have anything like this, huh? Why's it just matter what you people need from me? You get what I mean, right? You need me here more than I need to be here," she offered, a little mischievous grin spreading across the feline's face, her head tilting a little to the side in interest as she regarded the scientist she'd called for.

"I'm faster than any of you people here, and I've got claws that you don't... so I think you should start convincing me to give you what you're after. Starting with this," she calmly insisted, a feeling starting to emerge, especially after the incident just earlier, that she was in a position to take some control if she really wanted to. And right now, she very much did.

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

The young woman decided to just stand at the, closed behind her, door and just listen. Often it was best to let the delinquent talk, they tend to open up more often then not and Kit was the one wanting to speak with someone. To no real surprise for Anna, this worked quite well, Kit talked what was the issue. Up until now, she knew from the files, Kit had been more of a silent type, likely because she had asked all her questions and received all the possible answers, of course tinkered to shape her world to be the place it is to give her exactly none of the ideas that now seemed to grow inside the feline. Feeling Kit had finished, Anna made 2 steps forward, crossing a bit of the room. Of course, while not overly filled with things, the room was not a small cell, even Kit did need the possibility to stretch her legs at least a bit. What other people might have missed though, would be something someone with genes of a predator would pick up, happened as Kit had almost finished and mentioned her demand was, that the long haired human lost some color in her face, her heart leaped, something happened.

"Kit, our options are limited. There are reasons for everything we do... for once, you are a one of a kind, as you know. This place is safe, so nothing can happen to you. Places like on this thing you are holding are dangerous, even if we attempt to make it safe for you. We need a place where nothing unforeseen can happen." she tried to explain, hoping that Kit would accept that they wanted her to be safe. Of course, she was not really telling a lie, it would be a complete disaster if something bad happened to Kit but quite important was the fact of money as well and keeping a small forest was very costly. "But... I was thinking for some time by now... this place is ... small. You are no small kitten anymore but a grown up. Not only could we need some more... special samples... but I am sure you could really need a bigger place with more things to do than sitting around. I began preparing a bigger room and we could move you there tomorrow... but a place like you are asking for..." she did not dare to use the word 'demand' "is simply impossible. Could we agree on that, Kit?"

 

[Cyra V]

Carefully, Kit watched as Anna stepped forward, making no actual movement of her own, though her tail and ears occasionally gave little twitches, showing she was alert, prepared for anything that might possibly come. Alert, if not particularly wary, if her curious expression was anything to go on... only lending to her point about being faster. Sure, perhaps some of it was simple ego that had managed to develop, but the simple fact remained that she'd very much beaten out the earlier scientists when it came to speed.

So, as the woman started to speak, the feline's ears perked up, very clearly and intently listening to whatever she had to say, however she might try and convince her subject. Of course, the first thing was rejection, trying to appease her... but for the moment, Kit showed no real reaction to any of it. "'Special' samples?" she curiously repeated, her eyes narrowing slightly as she took in the implication: they'd need still more from her than what they'd already been taking. More for them, while she still had so little. "Tell me why it's impossible, and sure, maybe we can agree. These 'zoos' of yours do it, right?" she suggested... demonstrating, clearly enough, that she'd garnered a decent deal of knowledge even from just the tablet she'd gained access to.

"And, besides that... take me to this bigger room of yours. Right now. I wanna at least see it, and if it's better than this, then sure, I'll let you have your 'blood samples' and stuff again. Not whatever 'special samples' you're talking about," she calmly insisted, picking herself up to her feet with a small stretch as though she had no doubt that they'd be walking out to see it right now, per her demands.

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

Anna sucked in the corner of her bottom lip, biting on it as she listened Kit. Where had that feline learned about Zoo's? How had she learned to read? This creature was more intelligent than they had thought it seemed and thus dangerous. The young scientist did not think that Kit would go around killing people and would be dangerous in that way, but a creature like her with that much intelligence was a danger of another kind nevertheless.

"Okay, let's skip the topic of the samples for now so we can sort everything else out. You know what a Zoo is so I assume you might know what money is. Things cost money... and this place where we are costs money... and the people... and if we would attempt to expand the place to fit you a small forest like you ask me to do, it will cost lots of money. But we have just enough to keep this place like it is and unless we manage to make important breakthroughs with your help, we will not get any more money. I have, for your benefit, already begged and pleaded to even get extra room for your new place." the young woman took a deep breath and then extended her hand towards Kit. "I will show you the new room, it is not finished and will need at least another day that it is ready enough to move in, so you need to promise me to hold my hand the whole time and come back here with me to stay another night. Can we agree on that Kit, or will you be stubborn and force my hand to do things I would really hate, because I care about you."

 

[Cyra V]

'Money'? She had to admit, she'd come across some vague notions of that... but without more actual context to go on, that much made no sense to her. Feeling that her insistences were being rejected still, however, Kit exhaled a slight, annoyed huff. It wasn't so easy, it seemed, but then Anna had, by all means, confirmed just what the feline had said: they needed her. She had power here, at least to a degree, and she was going to take it. For the most part, as well, she seemed calm enough... at least, until that last point, making her tail twitch in agitation. No, that wasn't going to pass.

"Do what, exactly?" she questioned, narrowing her eyes slightly and calmly taking a step, two, toward the woman. "Be careful about saying things like that… now that I've got it figured out, you're only gonna get what I wanna give, and after earlier, I don't think you people can do anything about it," she practically warned, a little smirk spreading across her face, even a hint of a confident purr in her voice. Oh, did this feel good, to finally step up and do something! "So as long as that's settled, let's see the room, then. Anything's gotta be better than this place by now! Oh, and I'm keeping this," she gently insisted, giving a little nod toward the tablet she'd now tucked under one arm, while her other, rather soft-furred hand reached out to gently grasp Anna's outstretched hand.

"Oh! And I don't know what to call you yet. So c'mon, tell me!" she somewhat cheerfully requested, a perhaps welcome change from her almost dominant attitude that had apparently developed in her thanks to a lot of her newfound knowledge.

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

Once more, Anna bit down on her bottom lip, she might better not have said the last part but it was said nevertheless. Lucky for her, Kit seemed to let it go but was sure the feline would bring that topic up again. She knew she could enforce at least certain things but this would be a thing she really would dislike to use, after all, Kit seemingly did not know about gaseous methods to sedate someone but it definitely would hurt the work and how Kit would see the humans. Nevertheless, Anna showed signs that Kit's body language was getting to her. Despite being just a little bit more tall, not counting the feline ears, Anna felt a bit on the defensive, as if Kit had the upper paw, so to say.

Still she relaxed a bit as the soft fur brushed the inside of her hand, she had wanted to touch Kit for quite some time but never was allowed or had time or other ridiculous reasons stopped her, in return she squeezed the others hand for a short moment. "I guess you have already heard it... you can call me Miss Rozenn... the name means Rose when translated properly." she told Kit, not wanting to get to familiar and tell her the first name, even though she liked the more friendly, less dominant attitude, it made her feel a bit more safe while she entered the code, followed by fingerprints and a scan of her retina, the later two the reason why no one feared Kit could run away as several checkpoints were between this part of the facility and the exit. Holding the feline's hand, Anna walked her through empty and boring, cold, white and sterile corridors, having to go through 2 more checkpoints before they finally entered a big room.

No other personnel was there, being instructed in time to leave the place for now. The place was about 10 times bigger but it was missing almost everything despite paint in Kit's favorite color at 3 walls and an already ready place for Kit to take care of her hygiene and almost a fourth of the room, more or less centered, something that was a mix between a playground for children, scratch places and hiding spots for domestic cats and a training parkour for dogs... just human sized. Right above that place, out of reach for any normal person, was a huge window into the sky, allowing natural light to flood the room during sunny days. "Here we are. You can see, this place is not finished yet. The wall can be painted until tomorrow and we can bring in a bed and table with chairs until tomorrow. The ones in your room are bolted to it, as you know, so moving them would take time as well and equipment that is not available since it was never needed since your actual room was thought up. You have to understand, that I had to work 3 years to start this project... to give you this room. I... understand your wish... but we need to make smaller steps. Could you accept this for now? We could add things to the room as you wish... within reason."

 

[Cyra V]

Feeling her tail curiously give a little flick as Anna gave her hand a little squeeze, Kit glanced somewhat suspiciously down to it for a moment before, seeing that it appeared to be nothing, turning her gaze back up to the woman herself as she spoke again. It was fine, she supposed... besides, such a touch was kind of nice, she felt. Better than her arm being (if carefully) gripped for all their tests, or the needles, or... well, everything else she dealt with on a regular basis. "'Rose', huh? Alright then," the feline seemed to affirm with a little nod, freely taking that as the woman's name and seeming to think no more of it. Of rather more concern was where they were going, her eyes taking in every wall and corner, every step they took, occasionally coming to rest curiously on the few doors they passed on the way.

"Hmmm..." the feline thoughtfully muttered as they came to the promised room, and the woman gave her explanation. Slowly letting the woman's hand fall from her grip, she curiously started to wander the area, her ears remaining perked in alert all the while; likely keeping track of just what the woman was doing, even if she wasn't within the feline's site. After a short while of apparent examination, she twirled lightly on one foot to face Anna again, something between a smirk and a grin worn on her features.

"You're nervous, huh? Now that I've finally, really figured it out. That you can't do anything here without me, so now you've gotta actually keep me happy instead of keeping me locked up in that room," she suggested, a mischievous purr rumbling lightly through her voice as she started to step toward Anna; though, with Kit's hands clasped lightly behind her own back, it might have been clear enough that she wasn't making any sort of threat. "I like that. Knowing I'm pretty much in charge," she giggled. Stepping up closer, she reached up to drape her arms loosely around the somewhat taller woman's neck, letting her hear and feel hints of purring rumbling through the feline. "For now... alright, I'll accept it. I'll let you get your usual 'samples' as well... but if you want more than that little bit, you're gonna have to give me more. Deal?" she suggested, tilting her head slightly in curiosity at however the woman might react... though her tone very much implied that there would not be much choice in the matter.

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

Anna watched the feline experiment walking around the room and inspecting it while she herself did not move away from where she had stopped, a few steps away from the entrance. "Of course I am nervous. Someth... someone important to me is asking for things I can not give her despite wanting to see her smile. You might not believe me, but I wanted to see you in this room years ago, giving you a more proper place. This has nothing to do with you thinking you are in charge." she said, hoping not to upset Kit with what she said, letting her get close and place the furred arms around her neck, shivering slightly at the touch and her cheeks turned into a slightly darker shade.

"I am happy we could come to an agreement, Kit. Since you wounded the other scientist, we need someone else to take the samples. Do you have any preferences which one of the other scientists should take them? And after you settled in here, we will talk about the new special samples I need." The purple haired scientist did not step away but was waiting for a response from Kit, hoping the other was not registering that she reacted with a raised heartbeat since Kit had come so close and the human could feel the soft vibrations and warmth of the feline.

 

[Cyra V]

Hmm. Well, if the woman said so; Kit didn't fully believe it, but what she believed didn't really matter right now. The fact was, she appeared to be getting her way one way or another... and she was still the one they needed.

"You even have to ask? Ain't that obvious?" the feline replied with a slight giggle. "It's gotta be you, of course. You're the one who's supposed to be in charge here, you're the one I'd need to tell anything I want anyway... besides, your hair's almost the same color as my fur. I like it," she elaborated, a little grin spreading across her cheeks, even as she moved in slightly closer. Only just, her sweater-clad chest pressed slightly into the woman's own chest, the feline's soft-furred muzzle brushing gently against her cheek as she moved in to seemingly examine that hair a little closer, both with those brown, feline eyes, and a few fingers wandering up to idly brush through a little of the other female's long hair.

"Besides, you're not gonna say 'no' anyway, right? I'll even let you pet me, if you want, and you wouldn't even have to give me anything more for it as long as I like how it feels," she offered, hoping for a little more for herself, right now, while she was similarly testing what she could get for herself.

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

Anna huffed in response "I can not do that! I have other thi..." she stopped and let out a soft sigh as it dawned on her that, if she refused, they would get no samples at all. "Okay... I will do the samples but you will behave and not use your claws on me ever." the young scientist demanded while her cheeks kept her darker color, maybe even gaining more in those regards. It was hard to tell what was the driving force, their chests touching each other or that purring vibrating through her or just the gentle hands playing with that long hair along with the compliment. Maybe it was even much more simple and she really liked all of it, including the nice smell of Kit's fur and that dark hair the feline was sporting.

"And what makes you think I would want to pet you? Or maybe you even think I would like to scratch behind your ears." Anna asked but was reaching up nevertheless and was just doing that, entangling her fingers in Kit's hair, patting her at first but reaching for the soft fur of the ears to scratch them very gently, telling herself this was all for science to see how Kit would react. "If at all... this is some kind of... mmmh... experiment as well... collecting data." the long haired human explained, but her voice was giving away that this was hardly holding any truth at all.

 

[Cyra V]

'Not'? Oh, no, she wasn't going to be hearing no; not now. Not any more. And, fortunately, it seemed that Anna herself quickly realized that, regardless of anything else, Kit meant what she was asking for. "Oh, I won't. You're the one that can get me what I want, so you won't have to worry about anything like that from me," she calmly assured, putting on a little grin for the woman. Well, so she said, and she intended to keep her word... but if it came to others? They'd be seeing her claws, if she felt it necessary... but she didn't have to admit to that right now. Not while things were starting to go so well.

On the woman's following protest, though, those very ears perked a little in interest at the thought of someone scratching behind them, and her mouth started to part in ready to demand precisely that before she caught the woman's hand moving. Observing it out of the corner of her eye as her fingers continued to idly brush and twirl a little through the other female's hair, she felt an ear flick slightly, almost batting a little against those fingers starting to scratch behind it... though not, by any stretch, in protest, if the way they soon seemed to loosen up, and more than that, the way the feline's own purring started to increase, was any indication. "Mmm... that feels nice..." she softly muttered, starting to slowly and somewhat affectionately nuzzle against the woman's cheek. "Keep doing stuff like this... and you'll help keep me in a good mood, you know. You said yourself you wanted to see me smile, so isn't this a good way to? Besides, you like the fur after all, right...?" she suggested, almost tauntingly. "So, while we're here anyway, and I'm not going anywhere... tell me what this 'special sample' is that you want from me. And... stay with me tonight. I'm tired of that plain old little room, but if I've got someone to snuggle up with, I can put up with it. Just for one more night," she gently insisted, still in that same tone that suggested she wasn't about to take 'no' for an answer, no matter how content she appeared to be with the gentle touches.

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

The young scientist attempted her best to hide her smile when Kit showed such a positive reaction to her scratching. The human made sure not to apply to much pressure on such a sensitive part and did not forget that Kit had 2 ears as well and both needed attention, alternating from one to another, happy that there were no cameras installed yet or she would have a lot of explaining to do. On the other hands, installing them while Kit was around would be an issue. Upon those questions Anna bit her lip again, Kit was right but she could not admit to that, not openly at least since Kit would only get more ideas of how important she was and such.

Deciding that it was best not to answer the first questions, Anne let out a soft sigh. "Those special samples... well. You are a grown up woman now. Your age might not match up with others but that is due to the accelerated grow during your first years. A young woman should have certain things happen to her body but that is all in the theories since, as you know, you are an artificial creature... one of a kind... the first to be and while everything worked out on paper, and all the data you help us collect matches up so far, there are other things. You see... people usually reproduce together. I do not want to go into all the details but... between your legs is a very important part of a woman. And we need to make sure everything is in order... that your body developed properly... and that you, in theory, could reproduce." Hoping that Kit was understanding just enough from what Anna was telling her the young woman took a deep breath to collect mostly herself for the next part. "Initially I had planned to assign Kimiko to the task... I am sure you remember her, one of the female scientists. She is especially... experienced... with the female body and would have been perfect for this task, even more so as she really... uh... loves working with you. But since you insist that it is me collecting all the data and samples, I will do it. But I am not experienced... I might accidentally cause pain... we might need to take multiple samples in one go thanks to mistakes." She hoped the mentioning of pain would maybe get Kit to accept another person as well but was not sure if this worked, even though Anna was telling the truth that this kind of taking samples was not her expertise... not that collecting samples from a male would be her expertise. Simply, while not prude, learning and doing her work had always priority above social interactions, especially those within the bedroom.

"On that topic about the last night in the old room. You won't mind if I bring you back and take care of some things before coming in for the night? I need to inform people... change the planned work in this room. If I am not doing that, this room will not be ready by tomorrow." Anna explained, hoping to get that much leeway from Kit, and again she did not lie, she had to get things in motion for what Kit demanded to work.

 

[Cyra V]

Distracted as she was by the gentle touch, Kit's ears nonetheless flicked slightly atop her head, both in contentment and attention, as Anna started to reply. More things that the feline didn't understand, at first, though upon the word 'reproduce', her ears very certainly flicked up a bit higher in interest. She wasn't sure what it was that was starting to get her a little excited -- some sort of instinct, perhaps -- but the prospect was, strangely, rather enticing. Perhaps, ultimately, just proving the woman's point that she was effectively an adult now, regardless of anything else.

"Hmm..." she muttered thoughtfully. Sure, she remembered the other woman... just as vaguely as she remembered any of the scientists she'd met here, with how little she'd actually interacted previously. And, in the meantime, one of her arms slowly fell from around Anna's neck, her hand starting to trail down the woman's side. Just a little, a mischievous smirk started to tug at the edges of the feline's lips, the arm remaining around the woman's neck gripping gently to keep the other female close. "Between my legs... you mean, here...?" she offered... with that, slipping that wandering hand over and pressing it gently between Anna's legs, far from unaware just where to go thanks to her own very similar anatomy. "If you hurt me, then I may just not cooperate... so we can just work on that, right?" she suggested with a little grin, pulling back from Anna's cheek so that their faces were mere inches from each other, letting the woman see a very playful look in Kit's eyes. "Take me with you. I wanna see more, and I promise not to go anywhere... and I wanna make sure you don't forget to come back or anything," she gently insisted, her hand meanwhile starting to rub slowly and gently between the woman's legs... mostly, experimenting with what might get her any results in her newfound curiosity.

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

Smiling Anna looked into the brown eyes of the feline as the other pulled a little back, not minding so much that the hand was moving down her side as the other was still busy playing with her long purple hair but stiffened ever so lightly as Kit grabbed her neck. Right as she began to open her mouth, after the first 3 words, she stiffened even more and gasped, feeling the inquisitive hand between her slightly open legs. All she could do was nodding while she tried to process what had just happened... that definitely mischievous getting feline was having her hand at her pussy. She was 'protected' by her short skirt and panties but that was hardly enough, especially if Kit would pull the skirt up enough. Going aggressive against the feline would be a danger, not just for her own health if Kit decided to defend herself with claws, but the whole experiment would be endangered.

"Please believe me, Kit... I would never cause any pain to you... well... the needles of a syringe hurt but... you know what I mean." she said while her cheeks began to burn, that hand was feeling better than she could or even should admit and she was fighting hard with her own body which loved the touch and feeling Kit's breasts pressing into her. It was a bit hard for the young scientist to concentrate but she managed, stepping backwards while reaching for the hand down below her legs to hold hands again, and get it away from such a sensitive underappreciated region of her body. "Well, okay... you may come with me, this time. But it will be boring since I can not allow you to walk around like in here. We have a lot sensitive equipment and things that might not look as if they break quickly if not handled by someone knowing what he does and anything you touch out of curiosity could be something throwing us back a year or more." Anna hoped this would keep Kit a bit in check as she guided the feline back out of the large room.

The facility was well staffed and Kit would see many faces she had never seen in her room and people wearing something else than the usual white scientist coats, not that Anna would fit with her clothes the image at the moment. Naturally such a facility needed some other people, even more so while the feline's new room was added and finished. The way to Anna's office was quite the detour and they would cross the large main laboratory of the facility where Anna let go of Kit's hand before rounding her desk and sit down in front of it. "This will take some time to inform everyone that needs to be informed. Please do not leave the office... and if... stay close to the door so you do not disturb one of the scientists or accidentally destroy something." Anna asked of the feline, hoping she would follow the instruction, even more while some of the scientists watched her with great interest. Plans did exist to at some point let Kit roam much more free but this was at least a year, likely more away, and now she was standing there.

More needles, huh? Well, if 'Rose' insisted. And still, Kit softly and contently purred, even if the touch to her ears was departing, that mischievous glint far from leaving her eyes as she observed the woman's red-tinted cheeks. Feeling the woman back off a little, and draw her hand away from between her legs, though, the feline huffed slightly in annoyance, sensing her 'play' time coming to an end... well, for now. She wasn't going to be satisfied with just that forever, but she was just as well getting her way still... she could be content enough with that for now.

"Fine, alright," she shrugged, gently clasping the woman's hand and stepping up some so they were walking practically side-by-side. Letting her eyes curiously wander in the meantime, a little smirk tugging at her lips at the surprised expressions she was met with from most of the people walking by, the feline stood confidently tall -- or, at least, as tall as she could -- as she continued to just as well take in every step of the path along the way, mentally recording just how to get back to her old room from where they were going. Tilting her head a little in thought at the next instructions she was given when they reached the office, she soon exhaled a light sigh before freely wandering over behind Anna, loosely draping her arms over the woman's shoulders and leaning up a little against the back of her chair, and her own back, to the point where her soft-furred muzzle was gently nestled against the side of the woman's neck.

"I wanna watch," she simply stated, a little grin spreading across her face. "'Sides, I won't be in the way right here, and this way's the best to make sure I don't go anywhere, right? Or is it gonna distract you too much? I don't want you to take too long before we go back, after all," she suggested, that same mischievous glint in her eyes showing the new side of her that wanted to take control... and, somehow or other, wanted people to know it. That she was in charge.

Anna worked without issue at first, while Kit was not behind her and quickly grew a bit stiff in her seat when the feline leaned into her from behind. Lucky for her, the backrest of the chair was high enough, so the others chest was not pushed into the humans back, but she could feel the arms loosely around her and worse, the muzzle nuzzling against her neck. "You would not have been in the way just standing in front of the desk... or behind the chair." the scientist mumbled in response, doing her very best to concentrate on writing mails and instructions to all kind of people.

At the same time, at the other side of the large front made of windows, the other scientists were rather distracted, most only mildly but the one Kit knew as Kimiko was there as well, and her gaze was clearly jealous every time she looked over to them, and she looked rather often, usually only looking back down at her work when she noticed either Kit or Anna looking out into the laboratory. It took Anna a bit of time to finish everything, most mails the young woman wrote were about the new room with instructions on what to do so it could be finished in it's barebones until the next day and canceling lots of other things. The first mail though, before Kit had walked around the table, had been an order to not man the monitoring room for the night, even disable the cameras. When Anna felt she was done with everything needed, she shut down her working station and stood up, reaching for the feline's hand again. "We have everything and if the people are fast enough, our meal is in your room as well when we come back, so no one will disturb us until the morning. I guess that is fine with you."

 

[Cyra V]

"Mm... that'd be boring, though," Kit huffed slightly. Though, if nothing else, she was rather calm and still, just curiously observing Anna's work rather than actively getting in the way at all, or even doing much besides; seemingly, perfectly content to just enjoy the closeness and sate a little curiosity with whatever was going on. At least, until the woman started to get up, at which point the feline removed her arms from around her shoulders, gently grasping the woman's hand when it reached for hers.

"Yeah, that's fine. And a promise that you won't try and leave, right?" she suggested with a little grin. This time, though, rather than walking directly side-by-side with the woman, the feline herself confidently took a half step or so lead; still letting her eyes wander every now and then, but seeming to know exactly which way to go to make it to around what would be her new room, then leading the way back -- only pausing for Anna to open any doors -- to that old, little white room that had been her familiar 'home' in all the time she'd quietly and obediently stayed here. "Hmm... one last night here. Feels kinda nice," she idly spoke when they got in, before, with something of a playful grin, practically tossing her arms around the woman's neck, moving in close enough that their faces were barely a few inches apart again. "Pet me again a little, before we eat. I wanna know I'm gonna be taken good care of," she requested, more gently this time, only to follow it with a small, gentle, affectionate little lick to the woman's chin, her tongue departing just before it touched the other female's lips... almost as though she had at least some idea what she was doing.

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

Anna rolled her eyes. "Stop to worry about that. I made a promise and I intend to keep it." she told the young feline. The young human was a bit surprised by how well Kit remembered the way, even more as they had walked the other direction and each corridor looked more or less the same but she did nothing to stop Kit, as this was a perfect opportunity to watch the feline finding her way. They had planned similar things for the future anyway, so why not make mental notes on it now. Kit had been shown the way once... backwards in a way, and she made not a single mistake on their way back, even managed to include the correction needed to not make a huge detour to the new room. Anna definitely had to write all this down in the near future.

The purple haired scientist was a bit surprised by Kit, almost throwing herself at her. Following the request she raised one of her own hands and began to pet the feline, liking the scent of the furred creature. "You should not worry. I always wanted that you are taken good care of, and not just because you are important to our work but because you are a person. And while we can not let you go around all places, we should make sure you have the best possible life... and I hope to extend what is possible for you more and more. It simply is the right thing to do... just not easy. So many blockheads want other things... exploit you." she said, her cheeks growing dark again but she managed to otherwise play it cool as if the affectionate lick meant nothing.

Slowly she pulled away from Kit, giving her ears a gentle scratch with both hands. "We should eat now though. I made sure to order your favorite, guessing you would enjoy it."

 

[Cyra V]

Contently tilting her head a little into the touch, Kit started gently purring almost as soon as Anna's hand reached her. But really, what could she say? After so long of simple touches to take the samples the scientists needed, a more... affectionate, of a sort, touch like this was still quite the welcome change. Never mind how much she was enjoying some of the woman's own little reactions. "Mm... then you'll just stop them for me, right...?" she suggested with a little grin, only for it to fall into a light frown as the woman started to pull away. Still, she allowed it for now, letting her arms slowly fall from the woman's shoulders and glancing over to where the food had been laid out.

Rather than simply leave it at that, however, the feline wasted little time in slipping her sweater up and off of herself, then the skirt, letting both garments fall to the ground and leave her well-developed, decidedly feminine form completely bare, but for the light purple fur covering it. "Come on. It's more comfortable this way anyway, and it's really not fair that you all have gotten to see so much of me when I haven't been able to see anything, really," she suggested, or perhaps gently insisted, a hint of a purr in her voice as she let her eyes slowly wander over the other female. Keeping her gaze fixed on Anna even as she walked over to start contently eating her portion of food that had been laid out, Kit was, it seemed, rather more focused on getting what she wanted from the woman herself than what she had right now. "Besides, it'll be a whole lot nicer for cuddling up, don't you think? You haven't said 'no' yet, so I feel like you like this stuff more than you're telling me..." she added, a smirk tugging up at the edges of her lips.

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

"Of course I stop them, all the time... and it is not an easy task." The red haired human added in and was staring in disbelief. She knew Cyra had fut, had seen more than 1 picture of the feline naked when measurements and stuff were taken, but having her lifesized and moving in front of her was something else, especially after what had happened up until now. "This will be a one-time-thing, you understand? I am the head scientist of this place after all and if people see me naked I would lose all the leverage I have from my position over them." Anna told Kit while her hands began to undress her. The cheeks of the human were quite red as she revealed her body for Kit, knowing and hoping the cameras should all be turned off with no one disturbing them until the next day.

Hungry herself, Anna sat down across from the feline and ate as well, at least the cook was working quite well but she could hardly enjoy the taste with being completely naked. Yes, sometimes she sat in her underwear at her own table in her flat but that was something else, being alone and all. "I will not answer such a nonsense question!" Anna snapped at Kit, while wondering how the feline might look like with a collar, living at her place as her housecat, cuddling with her and everything. Her idea was barely sexual despite the clearly more adult body of the feline but the idea was mostly triggered by the mentioning of cuddling against the soft fur and scratching the cat here and there to make her purr happy.

 

[Cyra V]

'Not easy', huh? Well, if Kit were to be honest... that little tidbit was of little concern to her. As long as Anna could help her get her way, at least most of the time, from now on, then life would be good. A whole lot better than it used to be, just stuck in this one little room all day long with nothing in particular to do, and no will to interact much. "If you say so. I don't see the problem when it's just us two together," the feline offered with a little smirk, as those brown eyes of hers soon started to curiously roam. With every piece of clothing removed, she intently observed from her spot a little ways away, quite unashamedly scanning over the human's bared, furless form.

At Anna's protest on the next question, though, Kit couldn't help but giggle in amusement, seemingly leaving it be as her attention, at least in some part, returned to her food. After a short time, she herself was finished, remaining seated after and staring intently at the other woman while she waited for her to finish. Almost as soon as she did, a playful grin spread across the feline's face as she lowered herself to her hands and knees, crawling over and giving a rather nice view of her bared, fuzzy breasts while her back arched slightly. "Don't tell me you don't want to...?" she teasingly purred, shifting herself close enough that the woman would feel the slightest hint of soft fur against her breasts. "Is my fur not soft enough for you? Do you not like me as much as you say you do?" she gently questioned, in the meantime shifting a little closer still. Dipping her head down, she nuzzled slightly against one of the woman's shoulders, placing a long, slow, affectionate lick against the bare skin, one of her hands finding its way to rest on the woman's thigh. "I want to see and do more... what's wrong with that?"

 

[Sheena-Tiger]

The purple haired young woman was quite self-aware of the brown eyes roaming her body but there was no way to hide in this small room so she had to go with it but sat back down instead. She watched the feline literally climb up onto the table, a piece of furniture that was more than stable enough to even withstand a very, very bored feline as it had proven on a few occasions and more than able to carry a crawling Kit. As obviously planned by the feline, Anna had such a nice view of the cleavage with the soft fur which surely would feel so nice against her bare skin.

It was hard to not whimper at all the questions Kit asked while watching the agile creature move so close, the fur tickling her skin, leading to goosebumps running down her spine and her nipples harden as if a blow of cold air had hit them. It only got worse though, the feline nuzzling into her while placing her hands on the scientist and even licking her. It was only her shoulder where it slowly changed over into the neck but Anna was all but used to such attention and it felt so nice. Without thinking about it, Anna raised her arms and wrapped them around Kit, gently pulling the feline against herself, wanting... needing... to feel some more of the fur on her skin and this lovely feline face nuzzling against her while she was screaming in her thoughts how wrong this was and that she should stop and simply dress again and run into her office.

 

[Cyra V]

Feeling Anna's arms wrap around her, trying to draw her closer, Kit's purring only served to increase a little in volume, clearly quite pleased at the reaction. Shifting herself in even closer still, she moved herself down some to carefully straddle the woman's lap directly, her full, fuzzy breasts starting to press directly into the other female's own smooth-skinned chest. And, now that she was there, her arms moved to wrap loosely around the woman's neck, one hand curiously brushing through some of that long, purple hair while the other started to trail those soft-furred fingers slowly along the woman's upper back.

"Mm... you feel nice..." the feline purred, her body pressing against the woman meaning she'd feel every bit of the gentle vibrations. "Let me just... stay here. I want to be able to give you something as well, for the help..." she quietly requested. Sure, she was very much enjoying getting her way -- and this was still a part of that -- but she wasn't foolish all the same. If she could... entice the woman into allowing even more, and enjoy herself in the process, it would just be that much better. To such an end, she dipped her head down again, nuzzling softly and slowly against the side of Anna's neck, only for the purring Kitten to place a long, slow lick from the woman's shoulder, all the way up to her jaw. "Pet me more...?" she gently requested in turn, starting to press gentle, curious little kisses along the woman's jawline.
