That was the most embarrassing. Cats often times apologized, and Doll got rather upset when they did not. She did not believe that if someone startled her then they should apologize. But the tom had apologized, and he seemed nice enough. He was fluffy with alabaster plumage that ruffled in the wind. He was larger than her, but she didn't mind, she only would if she assumed he was a threat. He was polite and seemed kind, he hadn't come over just to tease her for no reason at all.
Doll shrugged, she didn't really care if her name suited her, though being called an angel was honestly a first. She had heard cats giving her all kinds of complements, but none had been about her being more like an angel. Doll smiled a little bit. He was definitely a friendly cat she decided, because if a cat was not friendly why would he have complemented her? Wasn't that a thing that only nice cats did? She was pretty sure it was. "Thanks." She said rather awkwardly, and began studying her paws. She was often flattered by things cats said and it made her really, really awkward. When he introduced himself, Doll decided that she should probably say something nice, but she didn't know what to say. "That's a nice name." She said, trying to sound as not awkward as possible.

The pale tom puffed his chest out subconsciously. His ears flicked to-and-fro, lips curling into a crooked smile. This she-cat sure was something. Her jumpy and timid persona somewhat excited him. He wanted to bring out the other aspects of her personality, though. A cat wasn't a cat without having an angry, or sassy side to them, right? But... he would wait a while. He wanted to gain her trust first, perhaps just edge himself into her life slowly. It would be a little weird to have someone show up and immediately want to be a part of your life, he was aware of that.
His eyes surveyed her movements, he couldn't help but find her shy nature to be comforting and a little humorous. "It's no problem..." He responded in a soft tone, drifting closer to the she-cat. Not too close, though close enough to hear her erratic breathing. Again, a stupid grin grew across his face, as he once again spoke up. "I appreciate your kind words, Miss Doll." He may have said the last thing in an almost sickeningly sweet fashion, however he was only doing it to watch her reaction. The alabaster tom swung his tail around the smaller feline, leaning into her almost. "So," he began, now averting his gaze to the distant plants and houses. "I'm guessing you live around here?"
