<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Don't eat meat. Well I guess Krato was wrong in thinking we were such a perfect match...I mean I am practically strictly a carnivore. A relationship between the two of us would not work out, at least not long term...right? Oh why am I even thinking about that when I am suppose to be looking for something for us to have for dinner....and while I was doing all this thinking he has been talking to you about something, so snap out of it and pay attention.</span> </span><br/><br/>Angela chastised herself as she went about grabbing out the items that she had in her fridge that was not meat, turning out to be more then she thought, setting the vegetables out on the counter she took up a knife and began to dice them up. Onions, carrots and celery cut up into smaller pieces, with the onions and celery going into a pan with some butter while she finished up the carrots. She took a moment to mull over his question about the Children, using that time to get the pot of water boiling, the carrots going in with some noodles, spices, seasoning and the now sauteed onions and celery to the pot.<br/><br/>"Well the the Children are religious fanatics and to be fair to most of them it is mainly the word of one man that has the others worked up into such a frenzy..." she says while stirring her impromptu soup. "One man misinterpreting a holy text leads to some bad things happening to a lot of good people" she tried to explain when she heard Dren exclaim.<br/><br/>Turning around quickly, fearing the worst, she quickly relaxed and even began to laugh as she watch Dren and her pet ferret Codoe interact. The whole thing was somewhat cute, mostly because of how she knew the ferret thought of her and what he must be thinking seeing Dren there; it was a similar first reaction when HE came to her quarters. She really needed to stop forgetting that she let him roam about her quarters, he was litter trained and did not like being cooped up in his cage all day so she had allowed him to roam about freely. He often spent his nights curled up on her pillow beside her head or on her chest, to him she was his mate and right now there was a male trying to take her away from him.<br/><br/>Setting the pot to simmer she went over with Dren with a smile, coming up behind him resting a hand lightly at the small of his back for a moment before she stepped past him "Don't worry he is all talk and very little bite" the smile still on her face as she went to the still very agitated Codoe. "Codoe! You are being a bad boy right now! Stop that and relax! Dren is a friend, no need for all that!" she scolded the ferret like he could truly understand her, which of course he could given the slight enhancement he had that granted him the ability to completely understand her. The wonders they could do with modern technology was still baffling to Angela even though she herself was a prime example of that very same technology.<br/><br/>Codoe chattered back angrily at Angela then hissed in Dren's direction again, dancing about trying his best to 'scare' away the strange male from what he thought was solely his own. "REally Codoe he is only a friend, nothing else. I just met him today even so you do not need to worry about him taking me from you...ok?" she assured the ferret as she lightly stroked down his back, calming and soothing the animal. Angela motioned for Dren to come over, "Sorry bout that I always forget about him because he is such a normal part of my life..." she tried to explain to Dren as Codoe ran up her arm to perch happily on her shoulder so that he could glare at Dren easier. "This Dren is an earth animal known as a ferret, his name is Codoe and he gets a little worked up around males..." then in a whisper. "He thinks they will take me from him" she said with a soft smile. "If you want you can pet him, he won't bite you. Right Codoe?" she asked him the thread evident in her tone to which Codeo only responded with a huff.
