Flynn didn't exactly follow the little-ized program around. He'd stuck around to make sure things weren't unbearable, after the reboot, then let him wander as he willed.

But when he saw the tiny shape on its spot, the dark form and glowing spots so very easy to identify, he turned from the path he was using to wander around the park and settled on the ground beside the perch, still and watchful. Checking on his friend.

It took Rinz a moment to realize that he was no longer alone, and another moment more to identify Flynn. With a tiny mew, he leapt down from his perch and curled into the User's lap.

Flynn let the kitty settle in his lap, then his hand started running along the curled body.

In a bit, he murmured quietly, "hey, old friend."

[rinz_kitty]

Rinzy made a soft rumble in reply, not quite a purr but not anything close to words either. His small head settled on Flynn's leg and his tail twitched slightly.

"Been thinking about the past," the kitten mumbled. "My past. Ourrrr past."

have an oblivious-to-the-situation Roy!

Enter the ever the often unaware Roy Kleinberg who was currently walking through the park, his hooded Grid jacket covering up the headphones to the music he currently was listening to. Yeah, the EoL had their music but Roy sometimes found the beat too harsh and so soft music helped clear his own thoughts.

Even as the music lulled in his ears, Roy's eyes still saw Rinzy, totally oblivious what had recently occurred. His initial observations picked up a feeling that something was amiss...that his feline companion......somehow.....was bothered, preoccupied, if you will.

He needed to investigate.

"Hey, buddy....you look a lot better," was what he meant with the underlying tone of 'what's wrong, Rinz?' After all, Roy's eyes pretty much confirmed that when they looked to the cat.

"Rrrrroy." The word was spoken without the usual excitement, the greeting less of a pounce and more of a sad slump. He'd been thinking far more than he had in cycles now, and it was weighing on him.

"Flynn made adjustments to my system," he explained tiredly. "Can underrrstand now. Not Clu's pet anymorrre."

Boooo ;3

[From his perch, the little kitten program probably saw a white blur (that could pretty much be a very old style disc) hit the tree in front of him before it fell down to the ground. A frustrated sigh and the sound of someone approaching could be heard shortly after as Ram came to retrieve his disc.]

Well..looks like I'm a bit rusty. [The disc was supposed to come back to him not hit the tree, mind you.]

fjiasofhasdf YOU

[rinz_kitty]

[Well. If that wasn't a good way to disturb his thoughts, he's not sure what is.]

[Rinz turns at the familiar voice. Ram. Indescribable shame washes over him. Ram, his best friend from the old system, always expected Tron to set the example, be the better Program, save the world. He'd done anything but that.]

Rrrrram?

ME ~I told you I was going to join ♥

[r_a_m_1982]

[Ram was just that good when it came to cause a first impression.]

[The actuarial program looked around for the source of the strange voice, slightly ashamed himself that someone else saw that. When he saw it he had to stare for a second. Was that a pet program?]

Yes. Do I ...know you?

you did indeed <3

[Rinz shifted uncomfortably, his orange striped tail flicking back and forth. After a moment he straightened up and gestured to the 'T' on his chest with a paw.]
