[Why does he feel like she's messing with him? The beast growls in the dark and he stiffens, but still compelled by the need to tell a story he speaks quietly.]

I've never had to tell stories, just recount facts. I can put them together well enough so...I'll do my best. [He stares at the fire still nervous and wary after that beast story.]

...There once was an unusual cat. He was from the land of fairies and his fur showed that. His nose was violet. His ears sky blue and his body yellow. His eyes were indigo...

His front paws were green and his back were orange. His tail was red. He has a number of strange adventures and this is one of them. [The fire flickers and rises a bit waiting for more of the tale. He sighs, he really isn't good at this. But he'll still try.] He was colored up like the rainbow so this isn't going to be a scary tale.

After yours I thought something...well not another scary one.

Anyway, the cat has a lot of adventures. This is about one in particular. This is about his visit to the cloud people.
