[Cats could be fickle creatures when they wanted to be. For now, though, Kova seems curious about the pair, moving forward to sniff at Todoroki's hand, and meowing a greeting.]

Under most circumstances, he shows more preference toward those who present him with food.

[But the fact that Todoroki is surrounded by cats also seems to work in his favor for Kova's interest in him, something which she is also aware of, and the thought occurs to Honerva a moment or so afterward.]

Though it is likely he may wish to ... play, with your companions. It is not often he has such an opportunity to do so.

[Lup can produce her magic cat or turn into one that resembles it, but that only goes so far if one lacks components.]
