Elsa says quietly "I wouldn't call mine an origin, more like an accident that worked out better than I thought. Boss likes cats. One of them, Elvis likes the tallest bit of the roof to sunbathe on. Couldn't find them inside when the weather went weird, was checking outside, spotted cat on the roof ledge, not looking happy."

"Raced up the side stairs, got the cat off the ledge and slipped trying to get back over onto the roof. Panicked. Then Elvis left the building, and so did I. Went from there to ground level in the longest heart beat of my life, still holding the cat. The bit of roofing I was trying to grab onto fell down after us. Went elsewhere again, just as it hit the spot where I'd been standing."

"Took a few more tricky little shifts for the adrenaline to wear off enough to better control it. Surprised I'm here to tell the tale, but Boss was just happy to get Elvis back in one piece."

Elsa taps a finger to one eye, and lifts off a contact lens, revealing a feline stare to the others, then adds "Just I'm not so sure that a little of Elvis didn't end up in me in the process."
