Porthos sighed, testing the feel of one of the spare swords he'd been provided to test with. He was, as always, good at picking up the feel of new weapons, but it didn't seem right withought his old sword by his side.

"You really need to listen to a different station." Her mouth twitched as Thomas looked at him wonderingly.

"Miiiine," Porthos beamed as the attempt to the high F made his voice break into a high pitched whisper/breath. Then he kissed her cheek, turned swiftly, and attempted to cough his voice back up.

Brenda buried her face in Thomas's short silver tabby fur and started to laugh, the sound ringing out musically as Clark stopped in the doorway and stared at her in surprise.

"My," Porthos coughed again. "My dear..." he finished and gently scooped her and the cat up, nuzzling her. "Oh, my darling, you are more radiant than the stars when you laugh."
