Hey, runts. We've got a couple fuzzballs stayin' with us--Four of 'em, actually. You can either name 'em, or just call 'em Fuzz One, Fuzz Two, 'n Fuzz Three. The chubby one? He's mine, I name 'im.

[TOWN]

...I've got a bit of a problem, here. How do you er... Litter train cats?

[braided_icarus]

....You have cats now?

[lifeofavarice]

Four.

[braided_icarus]

......Why?

[lifeofavarice]

Why not?

[braided_icarus]

...Well, I guess, because it's you. You probably just want to say they're yours.

[lifeofavarice]

Now, now, Edward. What kind of a man do you take me for?

[braided_icarus]

A greedy one. You shouldn't have taken them in if you can't care for them, you know.

[lifeofavarice]

I can care for them just fine.

[braided_icarus]

Then why would you be asking for advice on how to care for them?

[lifeofavarice]

Because I've never owned cats before.

[braided_icarus]

Chimeras were the closest thing you had to actual pets, huh?

[lifeofavarice]

They weren't pets. They were-- [Friends?] ...

[braided_icarus]

...I didn't say they were, I said they were the closest thing you would have had to any kind of relationship, pets, friends, family. Since you distanced yourself from beardy and the other Sins.

[lifeofavarice]

It's a real shame that they were put down like animals by your dear Bradley. As for Father and the rest of the family? Hell with them.

[braided_icarus]

.....Y-yeah, I....sorry, about that. I couldn't stop it.

[lifeofavarice]

Even I couldn't stop him, kid.
