[late in the afternoon, kaito decides that he's wasted enough time in trying to track a needle in a haystack. business is beginning to slow for many merchants and shops, and the crowds are finally thinning out, albeit slowly...

looking a bit fed up and not much else, kaito's in a courtyard of some kind, leaning against the back of a bench.I have a

[Yep. That's all you're getting from a certain ninja. And no, there's nothing clearly pleased about it. >|]

[hawkishly]

[ahahaha, whoops.]

... It wasn't intentional.

[pro_defunctis]

[whoops indeed =|]

Where have you looked already?

[hawkishly]

Places nearby where I last saw her.

[In a section that Kaito has yet to fully familiarize himself with.]

But it's been an hour since then. I thought I could narrow my search down to smaller areas, with this. [A slight shake of the device in his hand.] I really didn't mean to lose her. The door was open, and she ran out before I could stop her.

[bloodypawn]

[This is new. ...and a little amusing.]

Since when did you take one in?

[hawkishly]

[walking and talking, kaito is good at it.]

Over a week ago. I was only meant to take care of her temporarily... [falls silent] Things came up.

[bloodypawn]

[He could question the silence, but...]

What's her name?

[hawkishly]

Lady. She's six or seven months old, as far as I know.

[ He was just in the mood for a walk in Hachi-en, it isn't as though he saw the video and, listless, decided to go look for the cat.

Seriously. ]

Up a tree.

Up a tree?

[raising an eyebrow.]

Which one?

[repelling]

[ Because, Uryuu, there is only one tree in all of Ukiyo. Obviously that was too general. ]

In Hachi-en.

[ This might help: turning the fansuwoth, angling it at the branch. Not that the video quality is so good. ]

[How in the world did that cat get over th - forget it. He doesn't want to know.

... he can't make out what's actually up there but it looks white. Good enough.]

Sorry, but would you mind keeping an eye on her until I get there?

[tailcrook]

[On a day like today he's on his way home from work. Konoe's not in earshot by most standards, but close enough to get the message without needing to check his Fans, and he appears not long after Kaito's finished. Hearing of cats getting lost brings out a certain sympathy in this one.]

If you're looking for a cat, try that way.... [With an arm behind his back, he points far off to the direction opposite of where he came from.] I haven't been over there yet today, but I know one's around.

[hawkishly]

[god, the sudden appearance nearly startles him. he wasn't expecting a reply so soon or in person.

he glances in the direction the boy points. a sigh.]

It's a better lead than none. I'll check over that way, thank you.

[tailcrook]

[He gives a smile and a nod, but no indication that he'd follow him to see how the search ends up. Help a cat he always will, but seeing little ones in person still feels a little surreal.

He goes on his own way again, tail curled in contentment.]

[hawkishly]

[Kaito returns the nod and watches him go. And a lead being a lead, he starts walking in the direction the stranger had come from.]
