☼ 004 [video]

[got_it_memorized]

[See Axel. See Axel looking puzzled. See Axel looking puzzled with a very small cat sitting neatly on his shoulder, mesmerized by this strange device in Axel's hands.]

So this happened. [He shrugs the shoulder that is not a cat perch.] I was near the ruins and... Well, she followed me home, you might say. As in she staged a hostile takeover of my hoodie pocket.

[He looks a little uncomfortable. Watch out, Axel, your squishy side might be showing.]

I think she's still too small to take care of herself, you know? So... [Fidget fidget. The little cat blinks at the screen, then turns to look at Axel and impulsively bonks her head against his jaw. Great. Cat, you're not helping that squishy side showing thing at all.] I've never had a cat before.

[Translation: HALP?]

A proper name.

To take good care of her.

[He hesitates.]

If you need any help, contact me.

[Potential tsun friend detected. Continue observations.]

Noted; if I run into any snags I'll do that. You have pets? I haven't seen many animals around here. With good reason, I guess--it's not exactly the best environment for walking your dog.

I do, a black cat, named Soot.

[He makes a small noise, and the video moves to show a small adult black cat walking toward the camera and nuzzling something just outside of the video.

He turns the tablet back to him, nodding.]

I've had many cats in my lifetime. I enjoy their company.

Heh, Soot's a good name for a black cat.

I used to bring home strays when I was a kid, but we couldn't keep 'em. So I guess now I can make up for lost time.
