[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?]

If it's bothering you, why not?

[She'd kill a fluffy bunny, Axel. She sees no fault in her logic.]

I didn't say she was bothering me, really. Just that she followed me home. I kinda like cats.

Admittedly you don't really strike me as an animal person, though.

[boundbyheart]

They're luggage and can't take care of themselves. Same with children.

[got_it_memorized]

You'd be surprised how self-sufficient some children are capable of being, but I guess you make a point.

I kinda like animals, though, so... I'll make sure she doesn't bother you if you make sure not to light her on fire, deal?

[boundbyheart]

I won't set it on fire.
