Chapter 46: Having Lunch; My cat is cute
The man and cat walked to the door when Ravi paused, ’You can shapeshift, right?"
He was afraid. Ravi could see it, the way he tensed, the hesitation in his eyes. He squatted down and picked up a small piece of sand from the ground, "Your power is like this to me. I do not need it so I would not take advantage of you. I want to become a bit smaller so you can fit into my pocket. I don’t have a carrier. If you do not want to, we can go in, I will make you lunch then go shopping by myself."
He waited for a response. A minute later, the body started contorting until a smaller version of the kitten was lying on the ground. Ravi picked it up and kept it in his left pocket. Its furry head peered out of the pocket, looking around curiously.
"I have no neighbors." Ravi explained, in case the child was wondering while everywhere was so quiet. He would need a shopping cart, right? Taking a button off his shirt, he transformed it into a shopping cart, not the large ones in the supermarkets but the smaller ones that you would see in stores.
Ah!
"If you are uncomfortable in the pocket, you can jump into the shopping cart." The cat did not move so Ravi started his journey down to his transport panel alley. The old alley had no security cameras so it was perfect for his teleportation to the main city area.
It was more delicate, teleporting others so Ravi had to control the atoms perfectly so that the kitten would be reconstructed as he was.
They stepped out of the alley, Ravi looked left and right. It would not do for any of his colleagues to see him after he had expressly said that he was not feeling fine.
"Let us have lunch first." The great thing about the marketplace was that it was always accompanied by food. Before the main market, there was a street filled with stores selling different kinds of food and drinks. Ravi had not been a particularly picky eater so he just walked up to the first store that he saw. There were a few customers outside and the look on their faces was as if they were enjoying the food.
