[If anyone finds Alex walking around the area at this late hour, he'll be with a limp. upon further inspection, there are some markings around the shirt he's wearing - are those paw-prints? There's a bruise on his upper arm but he won't be saying anything himself without questions

[SUP ROOMIE. Have skulky boy over the comm.]

Why don't you check yourself? They pile up however the interns want them too.

...[Actual reason incoming]
How's Klarion and Teekl?

[Meet the cat-sitter.]

audio.

[faultlesscon]

[Well that voice sounds familiar. Turning the corner, Alex is close when he replies.]

Was just curious, did I wake you?

[A pause.] Ah, Klarion woke up just recently. Did you want to visit?

Re: audio.

[thebat_brat]

No. I wasn't sleeping. [He sounds tired, but he has for the past few weeks.]

Not particularly. I just-- wanted to see if Teekl was being cared for.

[faultlesscon]

[Silence for a moment, the footsteps stop.]

Teekl is fine - you had him, then?

[thebat_brat]

...Yes.

I found him.

[A challenge.]

[faultlesscon]

And you returned him.

You're a cat person, I presume. [An answer.]

[thebat_brat]

In time. [Probably should have jumped on that earlier, Damian.]

I've never had a pet, I wouldn't know.

[faultlesscon]

Just in time, I'd say from how he was when he posted that feed.

Well if you got on with Teekl, then it makes sense.

[thebat_brat]

How long did he sleep for?

Teekl and I had a mutual understanding.

[faultlesscon]

Five days - Minako came to heal whatever what didn't heal on its own.

He's a good cat, I won't argue with that. Did you get attached?

[thebat_brat]

Hmph. I see.

Of course not. It was just a matter of circumstance.

[faultlesscon]

[Are you in your room, Damian? That's the sound of the suite door opening.] So you do, then.

How so?
