Sophie was a bit surprised when she was picked up and then immediately set down on the floor. She looked up at the human who stood up now, and gave him a inquisitive look. Something seemed a bit off now with his behavior. Was he normally this submissive acting, she wondered. The bakeneko couldn't help but be concerned a little as she listened and then followed him as he retrieve the items he mentioned. Every once in a while she mewed softly,<em>'Perhaps I should have taken it easy on him before...'</em>she thought to herself.<br/><br/>As Brendan walked off to his room, the cat silently followed. She would keep an eye on him, she made that promise to herself and that was what she was doing now. As he was about to close the door to his room, she silently slipped in and took cover in a dark corner, awaiting the time he would fall asleep. Sophia looked about the room in the meantime, it was far tidier than the rest of the house. Except... for that desk. Sophia almost glared at it as she saw all those old books strewn about the desk, and how cluttered and unclean it looked compared to the rest of the room. As soon as she heard the boy slip into a deeper sleep, she moved from the shadows and transformed.<br/><br/>White hair fluttered about as stretched out her arms and legs. Tan skin covered by a lustrous white garb, made of many layers, and two long separate sleeves that draped far past her hands. The garment looked Asian influenced, but at the same time so far removed from a kimono or yukata that it obviously wasn't one. Elaborate stockings covered her legs and a giant draping bow cascading down her backside. She would have stood normally at around average height for a female--around 5'6"--but she wore large soled shoes which looked influenced by the Japanese zori, were much more taller and thicker, yet she still wore a pair of tabi. As she moved slowly towards the desk, it was noticeable that she had not taken this form in quite a while, as she almost tripped. Regaining her stature, she began moving slowly to the desk again, taking books into her hands and straightening out the work space.<br/><br/>Picking up the various old volumes, her golden orbs couldn't help but gaze at them for extended periods of time. If anything interested her greatly, it was the supernatural, and why they existed alongside humans. Her hands pushed the books into a neat little row along the backside of the desk, and she placed pens and paper back into their designated drawers. Luckily the desk wasn't dusty enough to warrant brushing it off. The last book she placed, however was one that was all too familiar to her. It was the one he used to summon her to this place. A slight pouty look played across her face as she remembered the gentle priest again. She looked back to a sleeping Brendan with the book in hand. His soft snoring was more quiet when she was in this form, and it was obvious that he had passed out above his covers.<em>'I'll look at this in a little bit...'</em>She thought as she set the book down on his clean desk and then quietly approached his bed.<br/><br/>Standing over him, it was obvious he had been so exhausted, judging by how fast he fell into a deep sleep. He wasn't even covered by a blanket, and still in the clothes he had been walking around in. Letting out a soft sigh, the bakeneko looked around the room and spied a blanket on top of his dresser. It was a light and smaller one, but it would have to do. She pulled it off, and opened it. Afterwards she slowly and gently placed it on top of Brendan, careful not to disturb his sleep. Looking at his face, as he slept, Sophie suddenly found herself blushing and not sure as to why. Straightening up, she shoved any thought of it to the back of her mind. Now she walked back over to the desk and pulled out the chair, careful to not let it scrape across the floor. Sophie then opened the book and began examining it.<br/><br/>Flipping through the pages of diagrams, Sophie realized she couldn't read any of it. It was in a language she didn't understand at all. All she could understand was that there were various diagrams in it. Sophie sighed heavily, a bit more discouraged than when she started her day. Yawning, she flipped another page, she too was worn out from her adventurous day and it had been a while since she had a nice nap. It seemed, that she would have to stay much closer to the human now, because she clearly wouldn't be able to send herself home now. And as important as this book was to the bakeneko returning home, she couldn't stay awake for much longer. Shifting back into her natural form, the calico bob tailed cat, curled up on top of the mysterious book, it's pages still open. Before drifting into sleep for the night, her golden eyes peered once more at the college student.
