The next morning, both Emilia and Mimi were up really, really early. Or rather, Emilia had woken first, only to immediately wake Mimi as well.
"Mimi, Mimi!" Emilia whispered, nudging the little Noctifelis, who was now still curled into a ball of fur on the bed and snoring. "Wake up, it's time to go!"
Urrghhhhhh…
Mimi groggily cracked her eyes open, then flopped over with a tiny whine.
"Meowww…" she greeted, raising her paws half-heartedly toward her master.
"Aww! So cute!" Emilia cooed. She leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to Mimi's cheek before scratching gently under her chin.
Mimi's eyes slid shut in bliss. Her purrs rumbled faintly as she melted into the affection.
After a moment of petting, Emilia straightened and headed to her closet, slipping out of her nightdress to change into her new adventurer clothes.
Meanwhile, on the bed…
It was finally time for Mimi to get up!
