This was tough. Maru really was cute. He was much cuter than that bird was and it was difficult to question this with Mady so excited. Still, he wouldn't be 'dad' if he didn't feel the need to be cautious when it came to his kid.

"No kitten, it's not that strange. We've had a couple of other talking animals on board. Some of them have been better than others." He eyes the cat. Unfortunately, he also catches Madoka's expression as well and ugh, it was hard to resist that charm of hers. He couldn't bring himself to be gruff with the kitty with her watching him like this. "Tell me about yourself, Maru. What kind of world are you from?"
