Hiroki

Intro
Hiroki is a former alley cat who has been adopted by Linae and who now resides at The Quiet Spite inn.

Description
Hiroki is a small, grey tabby cat.

He is wary and suspicious but can be persuaded to cooperate with an offering of fish and/or catnip.

"Chat with the Cat" (0x3)
Hiroki - then an unnamed stray - was encountered in an alley near to Korin's house. Hymn questioned him about Korin's disappearance using Speak With Animals. Hiroki was able to inform the party that several people had broken into Korin's house on that night and that one of them had smelt of "lavender and honey."

The next day, the party mentioned Minikyu's "alley cat friend" to Linae, who said that she would put together some food for him.

"Following the Wind" (1x10)
When the party returned to Gonglu around two weeks later, Hiroki had been adopted by Linae and had moved into The Quiet Spite inn, where he was popular with the patrons.He recognised Hymn immediately and immediately approached them for food. Hymn grew Hiroki a catnip plant outside the inn.

Minikyu
Hiroki is friends with Korin's cat, Minikyu (but not close enough friends to save any fish for her). They are now both looked after by Linae.
