Summary: Rodney knew better than to react until they were out of sight of the village.
Sacred and Holy Gift
Rodney was apprehensive enough to accept the sacred and holy gift from the stern-faced elders, even before the brocade bundle began writhing in his hands, but he knew better than to react until they were out of sight of the village.
“McKay?” asked John, wary, as Rodney knelt to set it down.
Rodney took a deep breath and pulled the cord keeping the bundle closed.
“Oh,” he breathed. “Oh, hi, there.”
The three oddly-colored kittens turned their heads toward his voice, mewing softly.
John smiled. “Worth all that work you were complaining about?”
Rodney gently petted one tiny head. “Absolutely.”
