early access: "absence makes the heart purr fonder' pt8 (Patreon)

And the last part of 'Absence makes the heart purr fonder'.

I hope you like the progress in their relationship. I don't wanna sound like a broken record, since I often expressed my fear of having their love blossom. However, since readers are so often ask for some progress in the story, I feel more and more obligated to work on that in order to not come off as stringing you along or such.

My biggest issue was their power balance since Mino always placed herself as beneath Rupert. And while we addressed that Rupert doesn't want to see her as property, I thought it might also be nice for Mino to become more proactive.

The munchkin cat character was in my drafts for forever. And I'm still racking my brain over how to introduce her within the story without coming off as tactless. But, yeah, she's a friend of Patchouli's and kinda keeps him afloat whenever he needs a paycheck...or a roof over his head. 

anyway, Hope you liked a bit of sweetness for your start into the week :3
