*Micaela was in Paris, three-year-old Ellie at her heels.* "Ellie, sweetie, I have to get to the tailor's for you; you know you need some new dresses..." *Ellie pointed at the bookshop with a sign for kittens in the window.* "Mummy, please?" *She bit one finger and looked at her mother cutely.* *Micaela rolled her eyes, smiling all the same, and picked Ellie up.* "Fine, sweetie, but it's staying in the barn." *Ellie beamed.* "YAY! I LOVE YOU MUMMY!" *She wrapped her arms around Micaela's neck and kissed her cheek affectionately.* *Micaela pushed the door open and went to the desk, ringing the bell and setting Ellie on the ground.* "Anyone here?" *She called.*

*Aziraphale entered from the back room, a fuzzy black and white kitten on his shoulder.*
"Hello, madames," *he said to to Micaela and Ellie with a cheerful grin.* "Can I help you?"

*Micaela beamed affectionately at Ellie and ruffled her curly hair.*
"Ellie here wants a kitten and I'm a sucker." *She explained. Ellie nodded, looking up at Az wide-eyed.*

*He grinned.*
"Excellent."
*He knelt down to address the girl.*
"What kind of kitten would you like?"

*She bit her lower lip (like her mother did when faced with a tough decision) and a little frown covered her face. She looked very deep in thought.*
"Um... an orange one!" *She said, beaming as it finally came to her.*
"Short-haired." *Warned Micaela.*

*He beamed.* "Wonderful. I have just the one. Just a moment." *He disappeared up the stairs, and returned with an orange tabby that looked just like Renn's kitty did when she was a baby.*

*Ellie's face lit up.* "Is it a boy or girl?" *She asked breathlessly.*
*Micaela smiled.*
((It had better be a boy.))

*She backed off and reached up for the kitten.*
"Can I hold 'er?"

*He gently handed her the kitten.*
"Be careful with her."

*She held her surprisingly gently for a three-year-old. She looked up at her mother.*
"Oh Mummy please?" *Micaela nodded grudgingly.* "Of course, sweetie, but you're explaining this to your father..."
*But Micaela knew that between two sets of blue, female eyes, Maxim would be unable to refuse them.*
*Ellie grinned as the kitten mewed.* "I'm going to name you... Waffle." *Micaela blinked.* "Waffle?" *Ellie nodded.* "'Cause it's my favorite food." *Micaela smiled.*
"Well then. One Waffle for Ellie de Winter." *She said.*

*He laughed brightly.*
"Quite an original name, Miss de Winter," *he said to the girl.*

*Ellie beamed, scratching the newly-christened Waffle between the ears. Waffle mewed some more.*
*Micaela smiled at him.* "Thank you, really. She's been bothering me to get her a cat since I wouldn't let her bring the barn cats in the house."
