To Mari's request, Cheshire bowed deeply with a genuinely warm smile. He loved it when Mari called him Kitten.<br/><br/>"I will resist the temptation to be too mean to the newcomers, and I shall keep myself out of trouble as well... as much as I can." he promised, before he started to fade. "You'll see me later then, but I can always see you..." he added as his smile finally disappeared.<br/><br/><br/>To Dumas's suggestion of the giant fake cake, Cheshire couldn't help but grin wickedly.<br/><br/>"I'm sure I could improve on that in some way, and maybe popping out with less clothing then normal could be arranged..." he said with a cat like purr, "but as for my birthday, you'd have to find it first, wouldn't you?"<br/><br/>It was perhaps not fair that he knew so much about others and others knew so little about him, but fair contests were for suckers as far as Cheshire was concerned. He did everything he could to be on top of his life. Maybe that was why Cheshire liked talking with Dumas. He was someone who understood the need to be in control, and yet challenged it in just the right way.
