[ Whether Yusuf was quite so protective of Rhada before this dream coming to The City, is debatable. Rhada is quite the intelligent feline, and it doesn't take much more than one trip around the hot, arid streets of Mombasa to find that hand-outs are not common. This might very well be where Yusuf's stray problem stems from.

The point stands:

What?

What, Yusuf? Hello?

[diastereomer]

Eames! The front door was left open!

[shifts]

What?

No, it wasn't. I closed it myself. [ Or did he... Hm. ]

[diastereomer]

Unless evolution has suddenly seen fit to grant Rhada opposable thumbs, not to mention two added feet of height, someone left the door open.

[ Yusuf has never had the incentive to learn to control his emotions; his worry bleeds right through his voice and carries across the device, clear as anything. ]

[totallyinaband]

Everything alright, man?

[diastereomer]

No! Not at all! [ You don't need to see him to tell that he's frantic right about now. ] Rhada, my cat, snuck out of the apartment. She is not in the hallway or in the elevators.

[totallyinaband]

Hey, it's alright dude. She'll probably come back.

[diastereomer]

She has no idea what The City is like; how will she find her way back if she has wandered away from the building?

[oneminutemaze]

What's not good?

[diastereomer]

Someone left the door to the flat open and Rhada is nowhere to be found.

[oneminutemaze]

What?! [ nooo kitty ]

Where have you looked?

[diastereomer]

[ Today is the saddest day :( ]

I noticed the door was open and ran out into the hall to look for her. She is not in the hall, either of the elevators, or down here in the lobby.

What's not good?

[ audio ]

[diastereomer]

I did not realize the front door was left open, and I have no idea where Rhada is.

[ audio ]

[specifics]

She's a cat. They can take care of themselves.

[ ...can't...they....his voice isn't entirely sure of itself, really... ]

[ audio ]

[diastereomer]

[ Yusuf doesn't have the time to explain how emotions work right now, Arthur! ]

Precisely; a cat that primarily lives indoors off of my doting hand.

Sorry! I thought it was video, my bad!

[byweavinglives]

Not good things happen all the time, here.

never a problem!!

[diastereomer]

I more than understand that, but this is a step too far!

[ Yusuf's priorities, let us show you them... ]

[byweavinglives]

Who is Rhada?

[diastereomer]

Rhada is my cat.

[ But the way he says it sounds more like the way a protective mother would say my baby. ]
