Well. That was unexpected.
The weight on her stomach woke her up. And she wished it hadn’t. Because with the revelation of waking, came the revelation of the headache pounding through her skull. Cordelia wasn’t sure just how much she had drunk last night, but however much it had been, apparently it had been far too much for her to face the morning after.
With a moan of sleepiness and pain she rubbed her bleary eyes and looked to what on earth had woken her up so prematurely when she had planned to stay in the shade of the bed for many hours yet. Two green, distinctly feline, eyes gazed back at her, and two rather perilous looking paws, with claws poised, rested on her midriff where the duvet had fallen. There was a light tinkling of a bell as the cat’s head moved, and the tag hung about it’s neck gave off a metal glint.
And then she remembered. Oh god she remembered. What the hell had possessed her to steal the bloody cat? She had been incredibly drunk and incredibly foolish and somehow thought it was incredibly smart to ‘save’ the thing from the dullest of alcoholic gatherings (something about teachers, wasn’t that what it was for? That part wasn’t so easy to recall...). She hadn’t done something so cringe-worthy since her early teens. Then again, she probably hadn’t drunk so much since then either. She sat up slowly onto her elbows - urgh her head - and the cat shifted too. She coaxed it closer with fussing and managed to grasp it’s collar. Yes, it hadn’t been a trick of the light, it had a name tag, with a number if lost (or stolen). A number she would now have to call, and coherently explain herself to, in her hungover state. Checking the time - it was later than she thought, the owner might answer after all - Mindful of the cat, she rolled over to the phone by the bed and began to dial, waiting for whoever might pick up at the other end of the line. She could only hope she could keep it together long enough for tis conversation to go well...
