[...] Yeah, I know how you feel. Lake Kelenqua is perfectly lovely, but I've lived on both the Atlantic and the Pacific and it feels so darn tiny sometimes.
Ooh! A criminal sketch artist depiction of my beautiful little devil! I really do feel like this would fulfill a dream she didn't know she had, just like it would REALLY fulfill a dream I didn't know I had!!!
Do you think your face looks angry? Or do folks tell you that? 'Cause all I can see is the kind and extremely helpful man who gave up his tent to walk me home (300 feet away). But I might be a lil biased.
Out of all the places you've been, where's your favorite?
I've been to enough art museums to know cats, when painted, often have the faces of angry humans. So keep that in mind.
Those folks clearly weren't looking into your eyes, which are DEVASTATINGLY kind and warm if I do say so myself. Also, seeing as I can barely grow scruff, your beard is actually very necessary for MY facial warmth.
Oooh, hard to say! Maybe Bhutan? It's considered the "happiest place on earth" (fun fact: they have a unique development philosophy of Gross National Happiness [GNH] so any development has to keep citizen happiness in mind!). Only carbon negative country in the world! Amazing people, amazing food, amazing scenery, just a great place to be. Hope they're doing okay out there.
Hmmm, but do the eerie human faces make them better or worse? I'll keep it in mind either way.
You really are too kind, you know that? How about this: I'll grow enough menacing (but warm!) beard for the both of us, and you can do the disarmingly nice and friendly smile for two as well.
That's INCREDIBLE. I hope they were able to parlay that into working together to keep their citizens alive and thriving. Maybe we could even learn a thing or two from 'em on how to set up our own thriving population!! (Or at least try to be carbon-negative. Which is a LITTLE easier these days.)
When painting a Persian, it's VERY important to capture the level of disdain they have for the peasants around them, so I do think it helps.
Oooh, TEAMWORK. I always have plenty to smile about when I'm being menacingly warm.
I hear good ol' fashioned American stubbornness is our chief export. Or was. Back when we exported things.
EXACTLY. You already know her essence, it's perfect, it's meant to be.
It's SO cozy, thank you for thinking of me!! And I don't have to use the cold as an excuse to get snuggled anymore so I can just enjoy the comfort. Yours isn't secretly cursed or anything is it??
And now we're stuck with an oversupply! It doesn't seem to be great for morale.
Tell me all about her once you're at Prescott and I'll do my best to capture her vibe. I used to be not-too-terrible at drawing, if I do say so myself!
No! It's perfectly normal and cozy! No hypothermia for me this year!
I am giving the troupe exactly FOUR more minutes before I'm leaving them behind and no one gets to donate any blood. (This is me saying I'll see you soon!!!!)

Aww, let's hope so. Or maybe we could learn to paint together, and I'll draw her for you from memory like one of those criminal sketch artists.
That sounds like a challenge! I'm honestly not a very angry person, despite what my face looks like.

Okay, well I will get right on that. How hard can it be to draw a cat?
People have told me the beard's intimidating, but I just wanna keep my face warm? Thank you, though.

I can picture it. It's giving Disney villainess.
Good! How's that parka working out?
