[The journal turns on with a little crash, revealing... the ceiling. Yes, very exciting.]

Stop knocking things over!

[A small, furry black face saunters over to the journal, sniffing curiously. It meows. And then, turning, flops over right on top of it, covering the camera.]

Hey, cat, get off that, it's not your damn bed.

[A small trill, and the fuzzy thing rolls over, revealing a mildly irritated redhead.]

...What the hell? You actually turned it on? Hey, dreck, the cat's from the Dawn Age.

[His tone is even mildly amused for that one. He brushes the kitten off the journal, picking it up and half-closing it. Before it shuts, he reconsiders, then grabs the pen and scribbles out a note.]

[Written / Filtered to Dist]

I need to talk to you.

[There, that's good enough. Back to the whiny, needy little monstrosity who has moved on to making his own water dish into a cat bath. Surprise! Luke brought home a kitten for his very disgruntled original. What a wise decision this was, eh.]

Yeah. [And... beyond that Asch kind of falls into awkward silence, distracting himself by dangling his fingers for the kitten. He's still not great about just talking it up with people.]

Not long ago, yeah. His name is Tsuae.

You have a new kitten too? I never pictured you as a cat person, Asch.

It's Ancient Ispanian. It basically means "noise".

[Well, it means a handful of things, but that's the meaning that fits it best.]

[........This again...]

What do you think a cat person even is?

... you know, someone who likes cats?

I didn't choose to bring him home, it's not like I asked for a cat.

Oh. Did Luke bring him home, then?

[That... makes a lot more sense.]

Mm. [It's a rather noncommittal noise, while Asch is briefly distracted by the kitten deciding that his hair is a new toy. OI stop pulling, you little monster.]

... and you've never been around a kitten before.

And what if I haven't?

[It's just an animal, it's not that hard to figure out.]

It's a language of the Dawn Age, from the world I came from. Most of the names in Auldrant can be traced back to Ancient Ispanian.

Well, you need to take special care of kittens. They're not like adult cats-- they need to be fed more often, and they need a lot more attention.

...Yeah.

[Damn, he'd forgotten mentioning it.]

[Asch says nothing, but despite appearances he's listening carefully. If he has to take care of the little nuisance, he might as well do it properly.]

You need to play with them a lot so they get used to people and know not to bite or scratch you. And they can only eat a little bit at a time, so you have to feed them every few hours... oh, and you need a scratching post unless you want them to claw up your furniture.

[Luke watches as Asch passes with a narrowed gaze and his hands on his hips. Oi. B|]

I don't make it that crowded. [Jeez, Asch, you make it sound like you don't want him here.]

[Whine whine whine, that's all he hears.]

Like I said- crowded enough.

[The kitten is poking around in the kitchen by now, sniffing everything he can reach.]

It just doesn't have anything to do with this place.

They sound like nothing but a pain if you ask me.
