Oh --

[ There's a bit of surprise and panic as he almost accidentally walks on her. NO!!! He saves it though, slipping the door closed behind him. ALLI YOUR ORANGE TABBY RATES. ]

Who is this?

[ He stands stock-still and lets this cat just attack his feet. ]

Is it like with Lucas and Samura? Did you get her from the adventure? Is she okay to be touched...?

...

I remember you were good at cat names.

For as much as she likes to be mean to you, I think she likes you more than she'll admit.

[ Reaching down to softly pet... hello there!!! He tries to be stoic but there is legitimate joy in getting to pet a cat wafting off of him. If you don't get serotonin out of this activity you're just wrong. ]

[ Soft pets!!!!! So cute... giving up small blips of wonder and satisfaction. ]

At least they do like you though. Even if they act like they don't.

[ It's the cat reaction. ]

Like on a playground.

[ He snorts. But... ]

Not really. [ Honestly. ] It wouldn't make me sad.

I think I just don't know how to take a joke.

[ Not like he gets mad but as in. He's just not a joker. ]

Ah. Hey.

[ NO NO don't do that kitty... he reaches and tries to gently pull her off and pick her up, do not fuck up Anders's bandages baby girl. But at the same time there's some embarrassment at the compliments. ]

Venere had no problems pointing it out. She says I look like a bull in a china shop most places. I smile weird. That I should stop wearing socks with holes.

[ Holds kitty, looking at her. No bully Anders, okay? ]

Having my younger sister bully me?

......

Maybe.

[ Couldn't even try to keep up the farce for a second. ]

I have... this was ages ago...

[ This is as close to having an exclamation mark as he gets. Stop!!! He's not wearing socks with holes in them right now!!! ]

......

[ The emotion IS 'Hey...' ]

That is my phrase.

[ He has just said stupid to people here and having it turned around on him... damn... but he squares up fast enough. ]

You are not a burden, Anders. Never are.

I don't think so? But I can ask him later. It has been enough days so it can be taken off by now.
