Scene Story: Luc was born to Loki's older sister, who unlike her brother was neither a bakeneko nor owned by anyone. The tiny kitten and his litter-mates were all healthy, and their uncle paid them visits frequently. Mostly it was to see if any would become like him, but also it was to arrange finding homes for his sister and her kittens. 'The life of a stray does not become one of our lineage,' would be his excuse. However, the life of a stray was also dangerous and unforgiving. His sister was struck by a car and killed. Her kittens, left unguarded and exposed to the elements until his next visit, were mostly picked off by scavengers. The runt was the only one left by then, and Loki took the tiny shivering thing back to his home. There he knew his nephew would recover and grow strong. He would be safe.
