[ The feed starts with a crash, a high pitched noise that sounds like a buzz, and then someone's breathing. ]

Wanda, no. [ Next come the flapping of wings and the soft coo of a bird. The Doctor is pretty much flailing around trying to scare them off, at least nobody can see this. ] Just because it's father's day doesn't mean I want a bloody corpse as a present. I'm quite happy with a cup of tea.

[ Pause, indignant sounds of a cat mewling as she's picked up. ] Bit tricky for your paws, how about I make it?

She catch a bird again, then?

[wearafeznow]

Tried. Luckily this time it saw me waving like a mad scarecrow and ran off ... well, flew. Should we get a scarecrow?

[waitedforyears]

We've got you, haven't we.

[wearafeznow]

[ Pulling a face. ]

I'm not that lifeless yet, Pond.

[waitedforyears]

No, you're more effective than one.

[wearafeznow]

Well, I suppose I could flail a little bit more. Do you think we need to get Wanda a bell?

[waitedforyears]

If you don't want any more father's day presents? Yeah, maybe.

[wearafeznow]

I'll pop down the shops later. Now Amelia. [ Leaning back on his heels. ] How are you?

[rudeandginger]

I don't think cats are generally up to cups of tea. Unless yours is specially trained.

[wearafeznow]

Not yet, but that sounds like a good idea. Do you think she'd take to it?

[hexuality]

[She sounds amused.]

Bit of a hunter, is she? Your cat.

[wearafeznow]

Unfortunately so. I've been trying to teach her that everything has a place, but I think she rather likes leaving me gifts.

[hexuality]

Affectionate sort. My owl's the same way, some days—very thoughtful, but I don't much fancy mice on my pillow. Now, if he put them on my brother's pillow, I'd find it loads funnier.

[wearafeznow]

[ Grinning. ] A bit of sibling rivalry?

[hexuality]

Only the very best kind and completely done out of love.

[wearafeznow]

Awh, that sounds nice. [ And it does. ]

[hexuality]

I hope so. I'm the youngest of the lot, I've got to come off as nice and innocent, haven't I? I don't think Mum's cottoned on to how much trouble I'm actually responsible for, yet.

[wearafeznow]

Mum's usually tend to turn the other cheek. They'd rather think nice thoughts.

I don't think you can talk her out of being a cat. We're good talkers, but not that good.

[wearafeznow]

I don't mind most of her being a cat, she could just stop the mindless murder.

audio;

[leathered]

It's not mindless. Twitchily premeditated, I'd say. It's in her nature.

[wearafeznow]

Wanda doesn't need to prove her love to me.

[leathered]

Cats aren't very good listeners, I've noticed.

audio;

[wearafeznow]

Unless they're stalking something.

[leathered]

Well, then they're all too good, which is the problem. I'll have a cuppa, if you're still making that tea.
