Nameless felt that this time some spirits were displeased. They argued/spoke more aggressive than usual.

Finally he heard a whisper. [Keep the cat. You must be lonely. Let the cat follow you until he regains his form, perhaps, he'll reward you in the future. You can even feed the cat and stroke its head daily! Uhu-hu-hu! Kawai!]

The man looked at the cat. I have no one even to speak, but, perhaps, this little fellow will be my friend?

“Hey, little buddy, wanna be my friend?!”

The cat looked at Nameless. He has cute green eyes!

The animal approached him and rubbed against the man's leg. “Meow!”

Nameless chuckled, watching the cat. He sat down and stroked its head gently. “It means that we are friends from now on?”

“Meow! Meow?”

Nameless laughed and rubbed the cat's head again. “I will think that you said “Yes”! But what's your name?”

“Meow! Meow! Meow?!” Now the cat stared right in his eyes.

All of a sudden the man realized that the most appropriate name - for this cat - would be “Poonkey”. Um... Why did I think so? Ah, whatever! This name suits this cat well!

“Besides, you are too cute!” he giggled, stroking the animal. “Do you hungry, Poonkey? By the way, do you like this name, Poonkey?”

“Meow!”

Nameless laughed. “I think that yes! Okay, then have your treat!”

He took out a dried fish from the bag.

The cat sniffed it first. “Meow!”

Then he ate the fish.

“Do you want more, Poonkey?”

“Meow! Meow?! Meow! Murr-meow!”

“Um... Okay?” the man had offered a new treat.

Poonkey had eaten the new dried fish. “Meow!”

“Oh, you said “Thank you”?!”

“Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow?!”

Nameless scratched his head. He didn't understand what the cat wanted. But it looks cute.

The man stood up. “Okay. Follow me, Poonkey! We need to go!”

“Meow! Meow?! Meow?! Meow!”

Nameless continued his moving along the street with his new companion, who – it turned out – was a curious creature.

Poonkey ran around, peeking in every door. Each time the cat halted by a new door and looked in the Nameless direction as if begging. “Let's come in!”

“Oh, Poonkey! No, we can't came in! You are too curious!”

But too cute as well! Cute..?! Nameless stopped and eyed his new companion. He wasn't under the great spirits' will now. Instantly he remembered the last whisper. [Keep the cat] is a beginning of the command... Actually a whole command is about this cat.

He looked suspiciously at the Poonkey. It looks like an ordinary cat, which is a little larger than the rest of his kind, and who has green eyes. But why did the voices command me to keep, feed, and stroke this cat daily? Is he a part of their new cruel prank?

The man recalled all whispers from the voices. Thanks to their “advice”, Nameless had bought a useless beard from an old monk, then he stole that artifact from the temple, drank up the god's saliva, scarred a monk, tried to rape a dryad, almost died in the jungle from a snake's bite, and... they even wanted to force me to be a beggar! Ah, and they did force me to start this mess in the city! All that blood is on my arms!

In short, he hated those damn voices to the bone!

Nameless noticed that the cat also halted and stared at the human. "Meow?”

His eyes... The man realized suddenly what was wrong with this animal! It has the intelligent eyes! As if I'm looking in the eyes of an intelligent being!

All of a sudden the human remembered another part of the whisper. [Let the cat follow you until he regains his form, perhaps, he'll reward you in the future]! What?! His form?! This isn't his true form?! He isn't a cat?!

Now he understood clearly that this cat wasn't a cat at all! Who's he?!

Nameless didn't know an answer, but this cat didn't look like an innocent cat anymore. He can be dangerous!

The man grabbed the hilt of his knife subconsciously. After all those “advice”, he didn't believe in the voices' kindness. What have you prepared for me, voices?!

Suddenly Nameless remembered that moment when he looked in the cat's green eyes and in his mind appeared the name “Poonkey” out of blue. What the fuck?! Did he influence me somehow?! This cat is definitely very dangerous! I guess, we need to part our ways from now on!

“Meow?” the cat questioned.

“Ah... Everything is okay, Poonkey! How are you, buddy?!” Nameless smiled, but this smile looked faked. Too faked!

“Meow! Meow!” Now the cat stared at the man suspiciously. “Meow?! Meow?!”

Does he look at me with a suspicion? Does he know that I want to part our ways?! Now I'm sure that it is too risky to keep him as my companion!

“Poonkey! You know, I just thought that we are too different. I'm a human, you are a cat... Well, I don't think that we can travel together,” Nameless began to move back gradually while spoke.

“Meow! Meow?!” the cat looked displeased. It began to move closer to the man.

Damn! Why do you follow me?!

“Look! What a big delicious fish there!” Suddenly the man exclaimed and pointed at something that was behind the cat.

“Meow?!” Poonkey turned around. He liked to eat fish.

Meanwhile, Nameless began to run down the street. I don't need a suspicion and dangerous companion from the voices!

The human heard an angry “MEOW!” from behind in the next moment. He ran in the nearest house and closed the front door. You can't get in! Ha-ha, stupid cat!

“Meow!!!” the cat scratched the front door.

You are too persistent, Poonkey!

Nameless ran along the corridor and jumped out of the the window. Then he ran down the street again and got in another house, where he hid. Farewell, stupid Poonkey!

The man came in in the living room and leaned to the wall. He yawned.

[You need to sleep! Have some rest finally!]

[Find Poonkey and apologize! You two must travel together! Poonkey is good and innocent!]

[Leave the house! Poonkey still can find you! He must be nearby!]

~~~~~~

The next choices only for Poonkey

You know where Nameless is. You tracked him easily thanks to your nose.

[Follow Nameless stealthily from now on!]

[Surprise him! Sneak in the house and jump on him!]

[Say “Meow!”, standing by the front door! Show him that you know that he is in the house!]

Or your own choice
