Instead of gaining human form the leopard rises on her hind legs, forelegs draping over the counter as she blinks, yawning toothily. It's only when she recognizes her guest that she brightens, broad head tilting to the side. Hi, Peter! the baker greets warmly, a loud purr beginning from within her lungs. Mischief igniting in her gaze, she cannot help but adding innocently: How was the cake the other night? Adam seemed convinced you'd love it....
