Set in Jacksomm Trifker's non-fatal full tour Aekallia universe.

This is a prequel to the "Came a Leopard" story in the same folder. After I wrote it, I started thinking about Felicia's experiences adjusting to being a were-leopard and realized there was a lot more story to tell.

I ended up getting the story mostly written then realizing I had written some things at odds with how the Aekallian universe was portrayed in Jacksomm's stories, so I went back and ripped about a third of it out by the roots and rewrote it to be less serious and more light-hearted.

There's kind of a danger of overthinking things in writing stories like this. Sometimes you just have to find ways to avoid unfortunate implications; other times you just try not to go there. I'm probably never going to be as good at humor as Jacksomm, but hopefully I got it closer to right this time.

Jacksomm told me it would be fine to post without running it by him first, so that's what I'm doing. If he has any problems with it I'll be glad to make changes.

First of three episodes (so far). I'll probably post the next one in a day or so.
