Kat decided it would be better to leave that particular can of worms unopened for now. She personally felt it was an unwarranted fear, but Kat was also quite sure Lily understood that intellectually anyway. So Kat handed Lily her book on paper magic, and occupied herself with running her fingers through Lily's hair as a means to pass the time while trying to meditate without sinking too deeply.
As it approached dinner time, Kat came up out of her doze. It wasn't proper meditation yet, she could tell that there was something missing when she didn't dive all the way, but Kat felt closer than before. Or perhaps that was just wishful thinking. What was surprising was Lily's snoozing form. Apparently the cat instincts were still strong.
