Like many animals, and most predators, Catseye was nocturnal by nature. Getting her into anything resembling a standard human circadian rhythm had proved to be an even greater task than teaching her to speak, and she often fell back into her insomniac instincts after dark, especially if the day had not been a sufficiently tiring one. <br><br>Or if she heard something INTERESTING. Like, say, someone moving around downstairs.<br><br>Knowing that she was nearly invisible in the shadows, her purple fur appearing gray without sufficient light upon it, she stepped forward to give the smoothskin a better look.The poor pitiable things, their SIGHT was their BEST sense, and they couldn’t even see in the dark! Catseye felt pride in being most magnamious to have remembered this, let alone compensated for it on the poor smoothskin’s behalf.<br><br>But this wasn’t any smoothskin. It was her classmate, Noriko, aka Surge. . .or Bluefur Painlight, which was how Catseye addressed her. Bluefur naturally referring to Noriko’s bright sky-colored locks, and Painlight to her powers; they looked like light to Catseye, and hurt a lot to get hit with. A respectable foe!<br><b><br>“Catseye no like sleep sundown,”</b> she explained, her high-pitched girl voice coming from the throat of her panther-like form.<br><br><b>“Sun’s up is best sleepytime, yes? Catseye like sun sleep. Night-down is when hunt romp crash play! Bluefur Painlight awake to play? Play with Catseye?”</b><br><br>In typically selfish feline fashion, Catseye seemed less concerned with whether Noriko was ok, and more with whether Noriko would be entertaining. Alternatively, it could simply be not that she didn't CARE about Noriko, but that she didn't understand that being up at night was a bad sign in other people because it was so normal for her. It was often hard to tell with Catseye about this kind of thing.
