JAE: Sorry if we’re intruding. Kittens are kind of a big deal.
MARIA: Oh, it’s fine. I like company.
JAE: I’m Jae, by the way. I like kittens and I’m Nhi’s biffle.
MARIA: Maria. I own the kitten and I’m Wren’s bestie.
JAE: Cool, so you met Nhi through Wren?
MARIA: I still haven’t really met Nhi, actually.
NHI: Sorry! I’m usually very friendly.
MARIA: Well, you were cordial enough to forfeit a ball of yarn for His Excellency.
NHI: It’s not a big deal, I don’t actually knit. I just keep it around in case of this kind of emergency.
Whenever I have kittens around, I can’t tear myself away. I always think “BUT THEY WILL NOT BE KITTENS THAT MUCH LONGER, THEREFORE I MUST SPEND ALL WAKING HOURS TO BEST VALUE THEIR KITTENNESS.” Perhaps not with the all-caps, though.
First two panels, I’m a little confused….I thought we were seeing Maria’s legs folded up, which meant that Jae would be TOUCHING MARIA’S LEGS…..now I see that Maria’s not wearing shorts, soooo what is that brownish mass?
PS adorable kitten is adorable, and I totally understand Nhi’s feelings on the felines.
The brown leg-type things that Jae is touching are Jae’s legs, covered by pants. They’re both supposed to be sitting cross-legged. Granted, they’re doing so very close to each other, but I was envisioning Maria’s apartment as smallish (you’ll note that no one has ever sat on her couch, because she does not have one). Jae and Maria are also both pretty friendly, even in the presence of adorable kittens.

Also, “this kind of emergency” needs to happen more often. All over the world.

yo, TsunamiJane, the brown lumps are Jae’s legs.
oh okay I see that somebody else said that already. that’s okay, I’ll just pretend my answer was cooler.
And when my cat is climbing on things he shouldn’t, I call him a Butt Cat.
Yay! Maria has people over, and she looks so happy! 🙂
Also, Nhi continues to win my heart.
OH GEEZ I TOTALLY SEE IT NOW
so sorry to ask dumb questions!
The alt-text just made me get sou gummi up my nose while laughing.
Ummm… what’s a “biffle”?
