[exanimatus]

[both Zelman and Rin had been kind of confused as to why Zelman hadn't turned into an adorable kitten when he decided to pet her. maybe he was immune. maybe it just didn't work.

or maybe... it was just a severely delayed reaction.

but it doesn't really matter what it was, because there's a red cat in the castle lobby, doing his very best to

Comments

[payback]

[Someone is... coming back through the lobby from a stroll in town.

Someone is noticing this cat.

Someone is coming over...

Someone is sort of poking him with the scabbard of her sword.

Poke. Poke. Poke.

Wat do?]

[exanimatus]

[he grabs it with his little paws and ends up rolling onto his back to get a better grip on it. stupid scabbard. B( that'll teach it.]

[payback]

[She studies this for a second, and then experimentally just... lifts the sword straight up, so it's still parallel with the ground.]

1/2

[exanimatus]

[w-w-wait this is the opposite of what he wanted! he hangs off the scabbard rather ungracefully for a moment...]

[symmetrist]

WH-WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!?

[exanimatus]

[looks at Kid... glances back down at the sizable shreds in the cushion... and then sits up, cleaning off a paw in the most smug way imaginable.]

[symmetrist]

[ he... simply.... walks over across the room

arranges another seat to be more or less symmetrical with the one this kitten clawed, and then picks up that seat cushion and brings it over ]

Here. Claw this one now.

[exanimatus]

[...he looks between the seat cushion and Kid and gives a meow that sounds suspiciously like, "are you kidding me?"]

[bogusmagic]

[Wandering in with a book, looking for somewhere to sit and read.

Buuuut she's going to pause and stare at him]

[exanimatus]

[he also stops what he's doing and pauses, staring back at her...

before he decides to hop off the armchair and saunter towards her.]

[bogusmagic]

[Has that whole ANIMALS LOVE HER ALIENNESS thing going on, so have fun with that.

Yuki stares down at him, not moving.]

[exanimatus]

[he stops just a couple inches from her feet, sits down, and looks up at her expectantly. the end of his tail starts to flick back and forth a little, too.]

[hatesdolls]

[Wanderin' a wander, like she tends to do... when she spots this cat.

That is one RED cat.]

[exanimatus]

[his ears twitch up and he turns to stare at Asuka...

and he lets out this low meow that might mean, "oh, of course Asuka would find me. this can only go downhill from here". or it might mean that he's a cat and is just making noise.]

[hatesdolls]

[She stares back.]

Weird cat...

[She'll venture closer...]

[exanimatus]

[he'll clean his paw, pretending to look disinterested (yet subtly smug, for a cat).]

[endthem]

[aren't you glad that this little event coincides with one of Legato's periodic trips through the castle? Of course you are; what a silly question.

He senses Zelman's mental presence nearby, and decides to stop by on his way out... but doesn't exactly see who he expects to find when he wanders down to the lobby]

...Huh.

[could it really be?]

[exanimatus]

[his ears flick up and he turns to look... letting out this flat meow of a sound when he realizes that this is probably one of the last people he wanted to run into right now.]

[endthem]

[...heh. If he'd wondered about it before, he's sure now. He takes a few steps closer and smiles to himself]

...What did you do?

[exanimatus]

[he sits up, staring intently at Legato.

the end of his tail starts to flick back and forth.]
