12 [Video]
[The Forge opens to a little pink and black nose. It is sniffing curiously, and when the owner of the nose zooms into focus it is actually a little black and white, but mostly white, kitten.
It looks curiously at the screen and mewls. The mewl is definitely that of a kitten who hasn't yet realized it is not a lion. Tiny, pathetic, but utterly self-confident and endearing.]
Here kitty, kitty. Come here, Ruffles. It's time for food. [And yes. That is Tseng's voice in a singsong, trying to find the nosy little kitten. Ruffles, of course, studiously ignores him.]
Look, I got you some tuna. Yummy fish. ...Ruffles, I swear to Shiva I am going to eat it myself if you don't get your fuzzy little ass out here. Do not test me. [Then Tseng's face swims into view, sideways. He frowns and picks the Forge up, Ruffles batting at it and mewling. Quick! Face-saving maneuver C49!]
...I don't suppose this cat belongs to anyone? [And he shows the kitten eating out of a dish before he turns off the video.]
