//You know, I've never offered her cheese? Never really had any on hand for that purpose,// Jono noted, a little wryly. //Couldn't hurt to find out, I suppose.//

There was another moment's pause, and then he crouched down to peer into Joni's carrier, sticking a finger in and wiggling it a bit for her to bat at.

//You be good for Raven, luv. She'll be good to you.//

Yeah, the tough guys at the front of the Blackbird didn't get to hear any of that, either. But damn it if his heart didn't break a little as Joni meowed and started licking his finger. Bloody hell, cat.
