Steph drifts in from outside, looking unhappy, and settles into a seat at the Bar. She is followed by a kitten so tiny and wee that it's really just a scrap of fur with 'tude, which winds itself around her ankles as she slumps.

Bar, with perhaps an air of disapproval that she's been avoiding it for so long (that whole tofu thing, so embarrassing,

There may be an Atton, completely ignoring what Steph just said, and pulling it into his hand with the Force.
"Why aren't we supposed t'touch it?"

[stuck_mynock]

"But everyone loves mass-murder!" Atton's incredulous, really. "But only on special occasions."

[i_spoiled_it]

Steph sulks for a moment longer, and then lets herself smile a very little bit.

"...sorry, Atton."

[stuck_mynock]

"Don't apologise. Unless it's over calling me an idiot, then apologise away."

[i_spoiled_it]

"You are an idiot," Steph points out, though it's with good humour. "I can't help that."

[stuck_mynock]

"I ... can't actually deny that," Atton grins. "But y'could be nicer about it. Maybe give me money everytime you say it."

[i_spoiled_it]

"Maybe I could not and just say I did," Steph suggests brightly.

[stuck_mynock]

"No. That would be cheating."

[i_spoiled_it]

"But it'd be funny," Steph points out.

She finds this quite reasonable!

[stuck_mynock]

"I wouldn't find it at all amusing." Atton replies flatly.

[i_spoiled_it]

Oh. D: goes Steph. But she deserved that, didn't she?

"...oh, well. I would," she says, recovering quickly. "That's what's important, right?"

[stuck_mynock]

"I'd reckon money's more important. Pay up." Still just as flat. It's possible he's joking just a little bit. "Fifty credits. Ten more for every second I'm not paid."

Steph scoops up the kitten and holds it out towards him.

It is tiny, insufferably cute, and tries to scratch everyone and everything to ribbons whenever it gets a chance.

"I could pay you with her?"

[stuck_mynock]

"I think," Atton says, peering at the cat. "It'd be better not to pay me at all than pay me with that. What is it, anyway? It looks like a maalras without proper teeth."

[i_spoiled_it]

"It's a cat," Steph says indignantly. "Well, a kitten. A baby one. I haven't named her yet."

It would totally be an awesome payment. Except that Steph wouldn't actually give the kitty up for the world. It's too adorable and she's too softhearted.

[stuck_mynock]

"Right. Keep the cat, consider the debt gone," Beat. "Y'should name her Atton. Good name."
