She shook herself out of her memories. "I'm here because I was curious. Some stranger called my home told me of a possible sleeper...one of the kin that has been in their fur too long and has forgotten what they are."
She lightly drew small, almost fingernail, claws down the bars "I suppose who ever this person, benefactor, was...that they thought I would have experience with awakening sleepers, as I was one..."
She shook her head, rain dislodging from her hat in a myriad of chilling droplets. "Cursssse thiss rain!" she hissed. "Would you like to continue this conversation somewhere dry?"

He glanced back at the door again and then to her nodding his head, "I would. I'm still not sure I understand..." and I would do anything to get out of here. He looked at the bars waiting.

She lifted her head, letting her face be seen clearly under the hat for the first time. They were human...kinda. There was a definate feline edge to them, delicate fangs appeared as she smiled, and slitted eyes. Slowly, ever so slowly, her features shifted to a soft, fully human face with imperious green eyes and a haughty tilt to her head. "Then be prepared to watch the fire works my friend."
Stepping back from the bars she shifted her posture as well. Instead of shrinking from the damp and cold she stood proudly, disdain on her face as she inspected the cage "ATTENTANDT!" she called loudly, impatiently tapping her foot.

His eyes widened as she watched her change and opened even more when she began to shout out. "What are you..." he cut off as he heard footsteps approaching, splashing through the rain. He retreated again to the small overhanging and watched her, trying to figure out what she was up to.

She tappe dher foot, the picture of outrage as the attentandt walked up "This is an outrage. Bring me Malren immediatley."
Tghe attendant blinked. "Malren is the head of teh zoological program..."
"This I am aware of. Tell him Marie is here and needs to talk to him. Now, or go home and don't come back."
He swallowed...then blinked, she thought she coudl fire him?? "No wsee here missy..."
"I am Marie Colatranos deFelinis. I can fire you. I will fire you if you continue the impertinance. Fetch Malren, the come back here, I shall require your assistance" she turned her back on him, the picture of disdain and waited.
The attendant swallowed...he had heard that name...he ran off.

He watched the man leave and came back to the bars laughing. "Who are you?" he asked again, this time in wonder. He smiled at her and craned his head trying to see where the man had run to.

She smiled "I'm Mrrii. Just a kitten with a large house." She too stared after teh retreating man "A very large house. With a penchant for large cats."

"I see." He nodded in approval, it was good to see the people around here afraid and running. Maybe when he was out he would make them afraid himself.

Five minutes passed and teh zoo attendant came running back "He'll be here momentarily Miss..." he panted.
She swished her coat "It best be soon. In the mean time, you can open this cage."
He pales "Open miss?"
She nodded "Yes. Open. The cat will be coming with me"
"But..."
"...nothing. He will behave himself. You will open the cage, you will no longer question me" she growled.
The attendant paled and walked stiffly to the cage, turning the key and praying.

It was so tempting to just leap from the cage, rush past the opening door, maybe attack the man and run. But he was still curios, and still needed to get out of the zoo itself so he remained still, glaring at the man intently and flicking his tail.

She smiled at the attendants fears and nodded for "Samson" to come sit near her as she waited for Malren.
He came soon enough and he paled as he saw her...and the cat. She smiled sweetly at him "Hello Malren. The conditions here haven't changed, even after my generous donations. I'll be calling for an investigation."
She laid a cool hand on "Samson's" shoulder and turned ot the exit gate. "Good day Malren."

He snarled at the man and followed alongside the woman, tail swishing behind him. His heart began to race as he saw the gate approaching, despite the rain and the stranger beside him he began to purr.

Mrrii enjoyed the stunneed expression on everyone's face as she walked through the parkig lot to her car. She opened teh door to the blessedly dry interior and quirked a smile at "Samson".
"Care to take a ride?" she said, face shifting back to it's feline touched countenace.

He glanced back at the zoo and shook his head, "I don't believe that just happened." Looking at the vehicle he showed some apprehension but worried about someone coming back out to claim him. He stepped back away from the vehicle and Mrii and took a moment to shake the water off of his coat then climbed into the car, the vehicle lowering in response.

"Do not worry about those at the zoo" she almost purred, trying to comfort as she slid into the drivers seat. "You are a DeFelinis now, you are safe to do as you will...aside from rampant murder and such. I will take you home now, let us both dry out..."
Mentally, she was running through all the things she had noticed while at the zoo, both about the zoo itself, and about "Samson". There was no doubt...he was a sleeper...but what consequences that carried, she did not know. Not all were destined to wake up...she herself had almost gone insane when she had awoken...this situation was almost garunteed to exhaust her...
...but she wouldn't let that show. She never did.
