[Video / Written / Action?]
[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.]

[Action]
[But then he looks back at Asch and... sees that he's actually petting the kitten a little. And once he really goes over what he says...]
... Wait, so you like him?
[Action]
It's a weird feeling, being responsible for another life. Like having a kid, only less long-term. Though that does make him consider one thing-]
You still should've said something first. What happens if we get sent home? Or kidnapped? Or it gets hurt in some experiment? This isn't a home, replica.
[And left unspoken is his biggest concern: what if they die? Because he knows that his own death is only a matter of time.]
[Action]
This isn't like that, though. He shuts his eyes briefly before he lets out a sigh.]
... You're right. I'm sorry. But if something happens to us, I know people who'll want to take care of them. [The kitten and Star, that is. And he at least knows Xion wouldn't mind. She likes things like that.]
[Action]
Whatever, just don't bring anything else back here. The apartment's already crowded enough with you here.
[Sure hope Luke wasn't expecting a thank you for this |D]
[Action]
I don't make it that crowded. [Jeez, Asch, you make it sound like you don't want him here.]
[Action]
Like I said- crowded enough.
[The kitten is poking around in the kitchen by now, sniffing everything he can reach.]
[Action]
Luke lets the annoyance stew in him briefly before he follows Asch into the kitchen, and he stands by the doorway to watch the kitten explore. He doesn't look impressed or enamored, but he's not irritated, either.]
So what're you going to name him?
[Action]
And then it starts whining at him. Loudly. Rather pathetically, at that. Remember how Asch wasn't irritated? He's starting to look it now.]
What about "annoying noisy beast"?
[Action]
No, that's too long. Maybe he's hungry or something... [Which prompts him to go get the cat food he was left with.]
[Action]
[NOOOOOT SPECIFYING, NO SIR. He just goes about trying to extract the cat from his pants. ...Harder than it looks.]
[Action]
Loud, too. Reminds me of someone.
[Action]
[Action]
He wasn't this damn noisy when I got him! [But whatever, he'll just start putting the food into the bowl and try to ignore the tiny claws digging into his leg.]
[Action]
This is acceptable behaviour.]
...Tsuae.
[Action]
[Luke turns his head to ask that question, one foot on the ground and the other held out to the side, where the kitten stares up at him and meows at him. After that brief look, he manages to get half the can into the bowl and lower it to the floor, where the cat immediately drops to and begins to eat, finally quiet.]
[Action]
[Fitting, no? Although the kitten is less obnoxious when he's not wailing for food like a greedy banshee.]
[Action]
[Luke squats down by the kitten and watches him eat, though Tsuae doesn't seem to mind. He's not really sure about the name... But eh, it's Asch's cat.]
It sure suits him. [... He can't help it, though.] Can't you call him "Noisy" or something?
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
It is stupid! And it's not like you're any good at naming things, so I can't trust you with it!
[Action]
Whatever, we'll go with Tsuae. [He brings his attention back to the kitten and... hesitates, but passes his hand along its back.] You like that, Tsuae?
[Well, the kitten's raising its furry butt thanks to Luke's hand stopping at his tail, but otherwise he just keeps eating. ... Luke will just take this as a yes anyway.]
[Action]
[Action]
[The thought makes him laugh quietly and push himself up to a standing position. Once he's standing, he leans on the counter and continues to watch Tsuae, who... just eats.]
Did you ever have any pets, Asch? [Luke wasn't allowed to have any, but maybe Asch...]
[Action]
[Between the training, and the missions, and the slow and steady manipulation of a madman? Yeah.]
[Action]
Oh... [BUT HE WILL NOT BE DETERRED. Instead, he just grins.] Well, now we'll finally know what it's like! I never had anything like this back at home... [Mieu doesn't count.]
