...why am I not surprised to find you like that?
[Yuui sighs softly and crouches down as he peers under the engawa, rests his chin on his knee even as he stretches out a hand. A small, humorless smile touches his lips as he watches the little kitten with solemn eyes.]
You knew this would happen, didn't you... Vincent. Well? Come on out now.

[He had hoped not to be found out. He could disappear for a few days, pretend it was just stress over his brother's death. He could just... wander around in the woods or find someone who wouldn't know to bother.
But.
To be honest, Vincent hadn't been able to resist coming home. Because the people here were the ones who had supported him so much, and he felt lonely immediately, without them. Felt like a traitor to everyone, on every side, for having taken steps that might destroy everything.
Since when had these things mattered to him? Since when had anything but Gil... and Elliot more recently... mattered to him?
... not until this man.
Vincent turns eyes that he himself doesn't yet know are blue toward his friend, meows softly, and slowly creeps a little closer, his body low to the ground and his claws clutching a little at grass.]
[It's the sight of those eyes that pulls a smile out of Yuui, even as he reaches out with gentle hands and deftly lifts his friend to cradle against his chest. Long fingers smooth through soft fur as Yuui shakes his head.]
Blue eyes, hm? Maybe the gods support my claim. Think we'll get to keep you as a Flourite, or will you become a Nightray again in a few days, I wonder.
[He sighs at that and brushes his cheek across pale whiskers, because he knows saying such things is unfair to his friend. He can see the shifting tides of Vincent's loyalties in rare moments and in truth... Yuui would just like to see him happy. Valued as he should be, despite the current situation.]
I know, I know, that's not very nice of me. C'mon, my friend. Let's get you inside and warm. I'll figure out what to tell Fai later.
It's a slow morning for Rin. She doesn't have to be at work until late morning, so the sun is well up, its light poking at her eyelids, when she slowly starts to ascend from the depths of sleep. The soft sheets she's suddenly feeling around her may well be a dream yet, but the actuality of them starts crystallizing in her mind. She becomes lucid enough to remember the kitten that slipped into bed with her yesterday, and she very absently wonders where the kitty went, certain that it is gone.
She rolls over lazily and hits something solid and warm. For the moment, she does not yet question what that might be, and instead just snuggles up against it. In her twilight state, she imagines it is a gigantic pillow. And that is always nice.
He'd gone to see Rin on a whim, really. After all, he hadn't spent all that much time with her lately, and... he'd honestly been curious about what her life that he didn't see was like.
Now, he had a better idea. In fact, he'd even managed to get into her bed, though not quite in any way he would have imagined. She looked surprisingly attractive, asleep, and he'd watched for quite some time after she'd fallen asleep.
But it's morning now, and his awakening... is not as expected. In fact, when he cracks an eye open, he realizes immediately that his perspective has changed. He's no longer a tiny lump of fur curled up on her pillow.
No, that's a human arm that he's got resting on her. He bites his lip, shifts just a little bit to get used to the rest of his body being back, and doesn't even really stop to think about the fact that he's naked.
Rin spends a few more minutes snuggled into his loose embrace, not yet seeing anything wrong with this picture. She's caught in a dark haze as random pictures flicker by her mental eye; flowers, a corner of her Edo garden, a sickle, a caterpillar becoming a hound becoming a dragon becoming a butterfly.
It's only when she becomes aware of the light outside her eyelids that she comes to truly recognize that there is a weight much like a human arm on her, and why is that? How'd it get there? Should it be there? It occurs to her that she could open her eyes, so she pries them open, and -- oh. Familiar face. Blonde. Two eye colors.
Vincent Nightray.
As soon as that point finally clicks, she shoots into an upward position, getting slightly tangled in the sheets and coming up against the wall behind her side of the bed. She's still dizzy and disoriented and a little sleep-drowsy, so it's a bit on autopilot that she stares at him with dilated eyes and loudly yells, "HUH?"
