What Dragged the Cat In [Ageru]

[Hadrian]

Startled, Hadrian blinked as the little cat threw off his petting and maneuvered himself up, but he allowed it without too much protest. He found that he was enjoying the silent companionship and wondered if he had perhaps spent too long alone. The world seemed to be throwing companions at him since Alvadas. But when the cat started rubbing its head against his neck, he chuckled and sniffed away the tears. "I'm pretty pathetic, aren't I?" he asked rhetorically, and proceeded to pet the little cat no matter where he chose to be affectionate. "Ah well, hopefully you won't tell anyone. In exchange for that, I'll leave the window open while it's warm and share my food with you if you like. I won't try to keep you. I respect your freedom and sense of adventure, but you're welcome to visit. No dogs here or grabby little brats who like to twist cat's tails. What do you say?"

OOCAww! Well, Hadrian wouldn't care if he did. Until he finds out Ageru isn't just a cat. If he finds out.

[Ageru]

There was a couple words that described the person on first meet, but pathetic wasn’t one of them, sensitive perhaps, but not such a negative word. Then again share food with a cat and youre his best friend for life, that is until the food goes away, but by then usually they develop a sort of relationship that keeps the cat from just up and leaving when the food is out. He didn’t like using people, but he did his best to try to pay them back. Anything at all to help them he would do an eye for an eye, but in a more positive way. That is the way the cat liked it.

The kitty continued to purr softly as he continued to nuzzle softly against the man. He did so till he felt that the guy was going to be alright, and then he ventured a quick look up to see his face, to observe it, and to see if any lie was in the mans eyes. Not being the best judge of character he wasn’t the best at detecting a lie, but something told him that this man was honest.

To answer the question he let out a short happy sounding meow, and purr as he rubbed his head against the neck one more time before hopping down and getting comfy in his lap once again. The cats tail happily played about as he burrowed his face into the mans knee, the tail flicking every which way in some sort of spasm of happy. Free food as long as it was warm out? He would be a fool to pass that up, and so he decided it would be rather advantageous to stay as a kitty whenever this man was around, because some people feel differently about feeding a kitty than feeding a kelvic. He didn’t know why it made a difference what he was, but some people were put off by it. So what if he could assume a human form?

Though the only thing that might give away that he wasn’t a normal cat would be that gnosis mark, though that was covered in fur and in the pelvic area, and so he was sure that it wouldn’t be easily found out, no, he had no worries of that.

Hadrian watched the cat get comfortable, and then settled into the rhythm of petting him again until he got comfortable. But once he was comfortable, he began to drift off into a catnap. Though his work for the Order was complete for the time being, he had been spending a deal of his magical energies on their projects, on training Kendall, Cathan, Octavius, Dimitri, and himself. Sometimes the body just required sleep in order to repair itself and rebuild its reserves of djed. His long-fingered hand rested upon the little cat like a warm, fleshy blanket while his chin drifted finally down to his chest. His breathing was steady and deep, and his mind began to dream of abstract things that might solidify at some point into actual ideas for his work or his life. There was no real desire in them for a Ranuri to pick up, but his lap was certainly a warm enough bed for any cat and they seemed to be getting along.

OOCFeel free to wake him up or depart at will. We can always do another thread, but I'm not sure what else they can do while Ageru's still just a cat. Other than be cute. Maybe Hadrian will wake up to a naked man rifling through his things? Dunno. I'll roll with your punches, whatever you decide. Within reason.

The cat took his time getting all comfortable, and enjoyed the petting. It was nice to just be able to relax like that, and so he settled in, as comfy as he could be just allowing himself to be pet by the man. There was nothing wrong with that. Or so he thought, he could have his guilty pleasures too, his own little desire. Eventually though the petting slowed and slowed and slowed and slowed until it stopped altogether, eyes closed the cat was now barely moving, but an eye opened when the hand rested there for a while. The man was sleeping. He must have been tired.

Purring a little more he wouldn’t mind a nap of his own, and so he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep. There was nothing to be done, and no better way to spend time…

Waking up after a while he noticed that the man was still asleep; just as comfy as can be. Made him happy to see such peace, everyone needed rest once in a while. Slowly stretching he crawled out from under the hand that was placed upon him and jumped down from the all too nice lap. Walking a few steps away from the armchair the cat looked back behind him, it couldn’t hurt to look around.

With one last flick of his tail he looked into the kitchen and went to the counter, jumping on the counter he approached the window. There could be some harm, and there were other days. He would come back, that was for sure. Silently wishing the man the best of luck he jumped from the window and back into the streets of Syliras.

oocSorry for the late reply. Been busy lately, and thought to end this thread because its not fair to keep you waiting so long. Though there are other days, other times, other threads. Ageru has just got a job at the bath house

Notes: A very cute little thread, short and simple. Would have liked to see a bit more, but it's definitely hard to do when one player is a cat.
