Skuld’s lithe form bolted through the house, seeming to hardly take note of the rooms she rushed through.  Her zig-zag route sent her through the livingroom, barely missing tipping over some of the rather expensive looking pieces of furniture in her wake.   She never gave a clear sign whether she did not hear Akira or if she was simply ignoring him, her one-track mind was focused on ripping through the house as fast as her feet could take her.<br/><br/>A moment’s attention was given to the humble fireplace, she peeked her head into the dark depths, twisting around to look up into chimney before she slithered out and scampered away, not noticing the smudges of ash that clung to her.<br/><br/>She suddenly realized that she still had on her worn shoes (a pair of faded red chucks laced through with rainbow laces) and that simply would. not. do.  Pausing for a brief moment at the base of the wooden staircase she hobbled and hopped on one foot as she removed one, then hopped onto the other to remove its twin.  Skuld carelessly tossed them and darted into the kitchen, running a circuit around the cool, tiled floor, peering into the steel refrigerator and gawked at the contents before zipping away and up the staircase on quick bare feet, her eyes bright and excited.<br/><br/>This house was big!  Well, relatively large.  It wasn’t as large as Greenwood had been but then again that facility was built to home dozens of cat people including the staff to care for them.  This was a home meant for a small number of people and it was great! Not overly exaggerated as some of the pensioners she had (briefly) ended up with, it was tasteful and nice.<br/><br/>Skuld flew through an open bedroom door - likely Akira's - and leapt onto the bed, rolling across it and bringing the nicely arranged blankets and sheets down to the ground before she scampered in and out of the bathroom and right back up the stairs into the attic room hopping and rolling around in her pure feline joy.  She popped up right in front of the large window facing the front of the house right as the car that brought them drove off with the woman and caretaker that had seen them through some bad times.  Knowing, and not caring, that Doreen was likely not to see her Skuld still waved enthusiastically to the retreating car hopping up and down.<br/><br/>Soon after this she spotted the large bookcase and was in front of it in the next breath, trying to figure out how to best scale it.  She was in excited feline overdrive right now!
