Finding the weight bearing down on her left leg from her position a bit uncomfortable, she shifted her hips to relieve the pressure and put it on her right. "Nah, I was just sayin' that because there's nothing better to do." Her voice practically oozed with sarcasm. "Kidding, yes, we really do...
"Yeah, the body of a human. But it isn't easy keeping my tail and ears covered all the time, and people don't exactly like it when you just start laying in the subway seat, purring." Alex's eyes rolled and he sighed. "Old, young, point is you're a scraggly cat out here doing nothing but sleeping...
Heaving a heavy sigh, Alex looked back toward the direction Sabeji ran, before glancing back toward Faun. "...Well, what do you think, stranger?" Her head cocked to the side slightly as she rested a hand on her own hip, "Poor guy..." her tail flicked a bit as her mind began the initiation...
"Yeah, well.. If I'm to be honest, neither have I. I'm a cat, more or less stuck in a human's body. With.. catlike features." He shrugged. "Not exactly the easiest life. But then why do you care? You're just a grumpy-butt old cat out in the middle of nowhere."
(( GOMEN FOR ITS SHORTNESS. ))
Alex's eyebrow raised at the confession, and she let go of his hand. "Oh. Well. Huh." Her thoughts wandered for a bit, assessing the pros and cons of having a cannibal as a friend. She sighed a bit, watching Sabeji. "Sabeji, wait. What if.. we had special meals made for you? I mean, you know...
"Just a house cat, huh?" That hurt. That really hurt given all he'd gone through. "Fine, then, since I'm just a house cat I wouldn't know anything about hunting or gathering food, would I?" His eyes rolled dramatically. "That's what I'm saying! Imagine being someone's pet, wouldn't that be...
Alex's lips turned down in a frown, and she reached forward for the male's hand. "I insist. Both of you. I'm certain my friends won't be too upset by your presence, I mean, honestly. In a world like ours, it pays to trust people." She heaved a deep sigh. "Okay, so... We don't have much. Not at...
Alex's simi-harsh glare softened at the behaviour of the other. Being at the caste she was she at least had a small camp of friends who stuck their necks out for each other. "I see no reason why you should shake a leaf like that." She sighed, glancing at the other female for a moment in slight...
With lips twisting up in a slight half frown, Alex made his way back over to the cat. "You know... I use to think I was meant to be alone. I mean look at me." He tugged at his ears and pulled his tail around front to show it off. "I was born to human parents, but I look like a freak. Isn't that...
(( Ah well, Scrypt it is then.
Apologies in advance for my pitiful reply.
Seriously, don't hurt yourselves. ))
Having watched the scene as it unfolded, Alex pulled herself back into an alley, avoiding attention and hiding herself as best as she could with her fair, slightly tanned...
"That's actually really sad." He stated bluntly as he focused on the other. "Maybe you should give others a chance. Who knows. You might find another cat who you can share everything with. Companionship. You know. Someone to hunt with and such. But I understand wanting to live on your own...
For Alex, this day was normal. Repetitive cycles, day in, day out of scrounging around for scraps. Be it technology from olden days or food.
...
Food.
Alex's mind drifted as she stepped down the trash-littered corridor, thinking of what it might be like to be at a higher caste...
Stopping about five feet further than he was, Alex turned to face the cat. "...Doesn't it get lonely though? I mean.. think about it. You have all of this..." Spreading his arms in a gesture to quantify how grandiose the whole of Nakhti's territory is. "Yet... you don't really have anyone... do...
