Someone would have spotted her before too long, if she had.

[Said with a reassuring tone...though, given that he's pretty sure there's at least one puppy and at least one boy who eats live animals in this dorm, elsewhere might've been safer. Anyway, he moves to sit at his desk rather than disturb Pacha, either.]

She was probably looking for a warm place to nap or something like that.

[Which, as thoroughly as Shindou's worked to keep out the New York winter, his bed (literally) has covered.]

[There's a chance she could've gotten outside though 8|a

Emil goes over and crouches down by the bed, smiling at the cat.] I'm still surprised she warmed up to you so quickly. Last few strangers she ran across ended up getting scratched or bitten. And not playfully, either.

[presto_turn]

I guess I don't read as threatening.

[Although now he's glad he stuck to just the occasional pet in between letting her investigate the dorm room...]

But...you should be careful letting her wander, if she does that.

[A lot of the kids here, after all, definitely read as threatening.]

[martasknight]

I guess. I'll keep a better eye on her. [He thinks for a moment.]

... Hey, maybe if you're not all that busy, I could leave her with you every now and then? Since she seems to like you well enough.

[presto_turn]

If I'm around. I'd be happy to.

I've missed having cats around since I started here, honestly.

[martasknight]

Oh, yeah, you mentioned you had two of 'em, right? What are they like?

[He glances over to Pacha with a small smile.] I just couldn't leave her behind... Especially not with... [He pauses, frowning.] Especially not with my uncle.

I've forgotten what his canon cats' names are so /bullshits AU like the wind

[Oh...family stuff. That's a powder keg of a subject, especially around new students, so Shindou keeps up a friendly smile and sticks to cats.]

We have a Russian Blue who's about six years old, Mussorgsky. And a Scottish Fold who's not much more than a kitten. She's Allegro.

They're both spoiled, but they're great friends.

[martasknight]

Heh, cute. I haven't really had much of a chance to spoil Pacha, but she's going to end up getting to that point eventually.

I'm guessing from your cats' names, you're the musically inclined sort.
