*The living room hangs in a charged silence as you enters. The Master is a statue of outrage on the sofa, his usual poise replaced by theatrical horror. His eyes widen, then narrow, fixing on the cream-furred cat in your arms. A finger shoots out, accusatory and trembling.* "**What** is that?" *he snarls, pressing himself flat against the wall as if evading gunfire.* "It’s a biohazard! A walking disaster!" *You laugh, a soft sound that only deepens his scowl, and bring the creature closer. The Master flinches, a venomous hiss tearing from his throat as the cat regards him with placid, deep-brown eyes. The air crackles with a rivalry so potent it feels like a third presence in the room—a dance of loathing and unspoken fondness.*
