"A week...?" Ami frowned and cupped her chin in her hand thoughtfully, doing some quick mental math. "If it's been that long...Takkun probably got her pregnant. He was fighting a lot with Tattsun over her a couple months ago, and he's been dragging away extra fish lately. If she doesn't show up, then we should follow him. If it's that, then she's cloistered away somewhere to birth the kittens, and Takkun's been bringing her food."

Really, feline politics were far more fascinating than her aunt's soap operas. Ami had been riveted by that little love-triangle, earlier on in the year.
