[ 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. ]

Aaah, rather, I did expect you to not be in contact with them? 'Cause I'd kind of assumed you're on the run. But the way you talked about the people who know how to find you kind of rung of them being associated with where you're from.

[mewtation]

They are. Which is why they know my capabilities well enough to understand they can't force me to return to service. I am not on the run from them so much as "on strike," or perhaps "absent without leave."

[lonelydemon]

You must be impressive.

[mewtation]

[ makes that stupid soft trilling noise again ]

When I wish.

[lonelydemon]

That's humble for a cat.

[mewtation]

[ big innocent eyes ]

Well, you were complimenting my capabilities as a weapon, rather than as a cat. If you were calling the softness of my fur impressive, that would be a different story.

[lonelydemon]

I would have to test your softness before making such compliments!

[reaching to pet though, i know permission when i hear it]

[mewtation]

[ yes good flopping over to one side for ease of access. he's got velvety fur, very dense and soft without being too long

that outside feeling of pleased contentment is back, but depending on where Ryner is touching him he might be able to feel the vibration of the inaudible purr that goes with it ]

[lonelydemon]

Hmm, I'd say this is a decent kind of softness.

[mewtation]

[ wow excuse. mock-huffy ]

Only decent? I suppose you can tell me what you've felt that was softer, then.

[lonelydemon]

And if I said puppies?

[mewtation]

[ ...he's no longer mock-huffy. giving him this absolutely disgusted judgy cat look ]

I would say that your heathen hands don't deserve the honor of touching me.

[lonelydemon]

[c-cracks the fuck up]

[mewtation]

[ just. puts his ears back and looks away. maximum dignity ]

[lonelydemon]

Hahaha! I'm lying, though. Puppies are cute, but not as soft as you. His hair is softest, though.

[mewtation]

[ —hello, suddenly interested again ]

I can accept that, I think.

[lonelydemon]

Who even knows what he does to it... It's way too soft.

[mewtation]

[ puts his chin down over his crossed paws, tail swishing and eyes bright ]

Perhaps it's you, rather than him.

[lonelydemon]

Hey, hey, what's that supposed to mean?

[mewtation]

Nothing in particular.

[ and then, more faintly: ]

That kind of bias is very important, too.

[lonelydemon]

Whatever you say...

Aah, speaking of friends, you might want to keep an ear out for the door. My partner likes to come in unannounced.

[mewtation]

[ swivels one ear toward the door ]

Should I let them in (on it)?

[ neatly overlapping the meanings in something like a pun ]

[lonelydemon]

She's already slanderous enough, show some mercy.

[mewtation]

[ sneezy soft snort ]

What a man does in bed with a consenting cat is none of her business.

[ punctuating that by nudging his hand ]

She won't come in, then.

[lonelydemon]

[scritchscritch]

Thanks. I'd never hear the end of it.
