[Shortly after placing the kitten someplace other than on his person Link returns to the front room, shoving a half-asleep Pomeranian aside before sitting down heavily on the couch. He's positively seething.]

These animals must be contained at once. Our security deposit is likely forfeit at this point thanks to the General.

[ And that is the exact reason why he's permitted this ridiculousness; because of that smile. It's good to see him look so genuine; he's smiled plenty in the past month, but none of it from the heart.

Link isn't sure when that started to matter, but he chooses not to dwell on it.

Returning to the living room, he sits down next to Allen, setting their mugs of tea nearby. The animals are regarded with a frown. ]

...Honoratus and Nicholas are both respectable names.

[ Because, you know, who wouldn't want to name their pets after patron saints. ]

...seriously?

[ He glances down, they are too cute for those names! The kitten seems to start to stir, twitching a bit. And then squeezing its eyes tighter and then open. Oh hai, strange men who are adopting me. Have a disgustingly adorable mew. ]

I am perfectly serious.

[ What's not cute about those names, come on. He eyes the kitten somewhat suspiciously, as though he expects it to attack or something. ]

Adam and Mephistopheles, then.

You...have a really poor naming sense.

[ nah, it's just going to push its little nose against Allen's pants. He grabs it before it gets anywhere awkward, holding the kitten up and blowing a bit at the fur. ]

...besides, she's a girl.

[ Link proceeds to look absolutely appalled. ]

Did you just expose that animal?!

How else would I know she's a girl! [ holds the kitten out at Link. ]

See, she's fine. And neither Adam nor Mephistopheles would work for her.

What does it even matter what it is?!

[ Yep wow he is so not checking to confirm here. Rearing back, he offers the kitten a particularly unpleasant scowl. ]

And what do you propose, then?

Adam is a boy's name. [ so matter-of-factly here. Allen craddles the kitten back against his chest. ]

How about...Hansel and Gretel?

Grimm's fairy tales fill children's minds with heretical beliefs and nonsense.

[ Not that this so-called fact has anything to do with naming pets, but still. ]
