It was nice.
For starters he wasn't in pain, but rather felt more like he was wrapped in silk held aloft by clouds. He would be embarrassed by this girly thought later, for now he enjoyed the feeling and snuggled deeper into whatever it was that was all around him.
"Good morning sleepyhead."
Jon stopped being asleep, that voice had broken through that hair-thin barrier between his REM and the real world, and he was now awake. His first thought was along the lines of, 'Huh? Who was that?'
His second thought was, 'What? Who's bed is this?'
"It's your bed, just with new beddings befitting your new form. It was your mother's doing, and yes I can read your mind."
This got Jon up rather quick, and he was so panicked that he'd failed to notice that his chest was moving in ways that it shouldn't have. "What? Who are you?"
The woman, who appeared to be barely in her twenties if that, and had cat ears and a long tail adorned in long, fluffy, pure-white hair, was sitting on a chair beside his bed giving him a bemused look with her blue-and-gold eyes. Indeed, one eye was blue and the other gold, which while rare on a cat was even rarer in humans, and nearly threw Jon for a loop. Then she spoke.
"Well, I sometimes go by Neko-Tama, or Cat Lord, or Lady, or whatever you want, but you can call me Casper, the friendly ghost-white cat who can read your mind." Her voice was full of mirth and Jon could tell that she was amused by something.
Jon, however, didn't like the thought of her being able to read his mind, there were things in there that he didn't want anyone else knowing. Of course, just thinking about these things meant that she could hear him thinking about them, so trying to keep them a secret was futile. "Okay, what do you want?"
She gave him a mollifying look that didn't really mollify him, "Oh don't worry, Jessica, I won't give your secrets away. In fact..." She stood and looked him in the eye, a serious look crossing between her eyes, "That's why I'm here."
Jon didn't like what was going on here, "W-what do you mean?" 'Cripes, my voice really went, didn't it?'
Seri grinned, "Well..."
