Lap Cat.

Last night, while the weather outside turned frightful, Mardukas decided to become a lap cat, and well… just look at those eyes… he wasn’t about to be dissuaded from his decision. So I worked on Cyndere’s Midnight, the sequel to Auralia’s Colors, for three hours straight with Mardukas (the inspiration for that big, wild, black cat named “Dukas” in the book) draped over my lap with his paws on the keyboard.

Bonus points for anybody who knows where my cat’s name comes from.
