Sephiroth was coming back down after his conversation with Genesis when he saw the cat-like creature huddled down beside the souvenir stand. It looked about as lost and uncertain as he felt after what Genesis had told him about himself. Crossing the small distance toward the stand, he ignored the vendor in favor of investigating the animal he'd found. From the way it was trying to hide and the distress it showed he had his doubts it belonged here.
Kneeling down in order to pick it up, he almost expected it to try and avoid him. Instead he was rather surprised when it launched itself at him and buried its head against his chest as if expecting him to protect it from the dangers this place presented. Standing up carefully, he wrapped one arm around it to hold it and finally turned his attention to the annoying tapping that kept poking him from behind, giving the vendor a rather cool look of displeasure.
"Yes?"
The question ended up getting a mug with some man's face on it shoved into his face and a rant about how they were on sale--half price even--and wouldn't he like to have not just one but all 40 for a special bargain price?
"No, thank you."
Unfortunately, the vendor was hardly dissuaded, despite the fact the amount of coldness in the words would have made men in his world fear for their lives among other things. Instead he was treated to a more passionate appeal to buy the stupid mugs and every time he attempted to leave the man's area, he found himself blocked by him.
"Fine, I'll buy the things, but I want them delivered to someone else. You can do that yes?"
Thankfully after he had given the man the named sum of money and told him to please give the the entire collection of mugs to their host, he decided to get out of the area with the new-found feline before the man decided to pounce him to buy something else.
