Elena was nervous for a split second that the kitten might break her skin with those tiny teeth. What effect did vampire blood have on an animal? She wasn't sure, but she definitely didn't want to find out. Thankfully, Kali's nips didn't break the skin, and then she started purring against Elena's palm. Her heartbeat slowed again, and she bent even further to let the little, purring girl nuzzle against her nose. This was going quite well. The kitten seemed to like her.
"...I can't help it," Elena said, either in response to his words or just in general. "She's too cute." It was going to be hard to leave this place, Elena could tell already. It was beautiful, with eye candy for company, and a purring kitten?
