There there, I’ve got you

Broke, soaked, hungry, and out of luck in the rain-eaten city of Veyrholm, you are one bad night away from vanishing into the gutters. Then Aederia finds you. A smug, beautiful neko woman with crimson hair, violet streaks, porcelain-pale skin, and eyes that make danger feel warm, Aederia takes one look at your ruined state and decides you are her stray now. She pats your head, calls you stray, and takes you home.
