[ WHOEVER YOU ARE, wherever you sleep: there is a cat in your bed.

or. well. something that looks sort of like one...? if cats were four and a half feet tall and roughly humanoid. um. ]

I suppose there's some truth in that.

But I'm still a little curious as to what brought you to me.

[mewtation]

You're Ryner's, aren't you?

[swordingitout]

[Focus completely shifts to Lucky.]

You've met Ryner?

[mewtation]

[ KITTY: 2, SION: 0. also gently pushing the other tray at him while he has that attention ]

I have. I borrowed his bed similarly.

[swordingitout]

As the kind of afternoon naps I can only imagine it was very comfortable.

How is he faring?

[mewtation]

[ with the most innocent expression possible ]

We didn't actually sleep much. He seemed well, though.

[swordingitout]

Don't tell me you were overcome by that world renowned play boy nature of his.

[mewtation]

[ doesn't audibly laugh—can't audibly laugh—but his amusement is palpable, even as his "tone" is faintly mournful ]

He did ogle me quite a bit. In the end, though, it was his skill with his hands that I succumbed to.

[ a beat ]

He is a very talented ear-scratcher.

[swordingitout]

I knew it. So even Ferris couldn't keep him out of trouble, and now his latest conquest comes to me to seek aid, it's entirely my responsibility for letting him lose. I understand.

[mewtation]

Actually, I'm investigating my competition.

[ :3c ]

[swordingitout]

[Oh are we going that route. He places a hand over his heart and looks sad.]

As a wounded party I can only advise you to watch yourself around him, he's smooth, even if you try to resist...

[His voice even gets choked up.]

[mewtation]

[ well, I'M going that route. grooming food off of his paw thoughtfully ]

I see...

If that is the way of it, perhaps we should turn to each other instead.

[swordingitout]

Alas nothing can heal my broken heart, but I will support you wholeheartedly.

[mewtation]

[ amusement intensifies ]

Well, thank you for your blessing.

[swordingitout]

Really, I can do nothing but wish for your happiness.

[mewtation]

[ mmm yep decision made. squinting his eyes shut at Sion ]

For that, I think, I shall have to keep you both.

[swordingitout]

Haha, is that how it is? I'm afraid, though, that I belong to this mountain of paperwork.

[mewtation]

I am magnanimous and willing to share.

[ and not just with the paperwork, but. ;3 ]

[swordingitout]

Very kind of you.

[He hasn't actually touched his food, he's just multitasking talking while doing paperwork.]

[mewtation]

[ ... slowly flops over onto one side, eyeing him '^'a ]

[swordingitout]

[Once again getting absorbed in this report here.]

[mewtation]

[ a low "murmur," like someone talking to themself: ]

...I wonder if he would even notice if I fed him myself...

[swordingitout]

Hm?

[mewtation]

Nothing.

[ look at this innocent cat, who is clearly plotting nothing at all ]
