[straying]

Quick word of advice: be careful! No, I mean it. I don't want to hear any of that tough guy [her voice drops an octave as she imitates some gruff bravado] 'I've got it covered' or something silly like 'You're overreacting!' [she snickers] Better safe than sorry, ladies and gents.

Oh! But that's not what I wanted to take care of here. I thought it'd be about time I took care of this so... [A soft mew comes from somewhere offscreen and Saya laughs. Then standing up from the couch and when she sits back down, she has this cutie in her lap.] Say hi!

[Saya seems to be amused as she gently takes one of the kitten's paws in hand and waves towards the camera of the SFC.]

Motz, Vatheon. Vatheon, meet [INHALE] Matthew Obi Train Zen. Or Motz for short! Don't let the names fool you, she's much better behaved than any of them.

[Sticking her tongue out playfully- obviously directed at the aforementioned dudes. Snickering a bit, she seems quite content.]

So if you drop by the apartment, don't be surprised to see her. Or maybe come by with the intention of seeing her- she's a good girl, promise! Though I'm not about to say no to any help taking care of her, either. Shirayuki's got my back, but I've never had a pet before... [A thoughtful pause and tilt of her head, was there anything else...]

Hm, I guess I should wrap this up now. [Sobering up a bit, she smiles again.] Everyone, make sure you take care. I could name a few people that I'm especially concerned about, but... you know who you are. Call me if any problems arise. See you all later.

[a salute and the feed ends with a click!]

I'm sure.

[:|]

So, Matthew Obi Train Zen. What exactly brought this on?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[Holding up Motz now and she's pointing to the colors on her fur as they're named.]

Train's the Black Cat and she's got these black spots, but I didn't want to name her Train. Then Shirayuki thought that the white reminded her of you- and then some of Obi. The brown seems more like Matthew, though if you ask me.

... so there.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

... What? I hate to rain down on your originality, but whatever happened to more... normal names?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Are you the kind of guy who would name your cat 'Fluffy'?

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

... Thanks. For the record, no, I'm not.

[A pause]

... To be honest, if it were here, I'd probably name it Mitsuhide if it were a boy or Kiki if it were a girl.

[He doesn't know if Shirayuki's ever mentioned them, so those names might mean nothing to her, but... yeah, he's being sentimental. :|;]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... Awwwwwwwwwww.]

I'm sure they're glad that you're thinking of them.

[And she'll brush away that topic, being respectful of his space. He never told her about them, so she's not sure if it's alright to discuss.]

But... well, if it was a boy and was a black cat, I'd name it Train, no doubt. If it was white, I'd name it Vanilla- though that might get confusing.

[A laugh, even if she's sure he doesn't know why it's confusing. But leaving out info is what she does~]

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

[To be fair, for all the talk about him being more honest than her, Matthew, and Obi, there's a lot she still doesn't know—]

... How would Vanilla be confusing?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[Same for Saya and her attachment issues. :D;; Very few people she really considers friends.]

Well there would be Living Kitty Vanilla and-

[. . . she needs to think before she talks. Rubbing the back of her neck.]

Another gift I got that I named Vanilla.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

[Been there, done that, got the dead best friend for it.]

And this other gift would be...?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... I think I see a developing running trait with your characters, Jan.

And at the question, she's excited to answer, completely forgetting about her previous worry in favor of being happy over this topic-]

This kitty plush!

[... and then a confused look as something clicks. Hm. Did she ever thank Obi...?]

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

[... Shhhhhhhhhhhh.]

Kitty plush?

[And oh, don't think he doesn't notice that look.]

... Something wrong, Saya?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Like a cute little cat doll...

[She tilts her head. Well, Zen would be the best person to ask...]

Hey Zen, do you know what Obi likes?

[Not as out of the blue as he probably thinks.]

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

... Huh? Why do you want to know?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Repaying a debt that he's not helping me with.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

... Whatever you say. But to answer your question, he likes alcohol—but you're not too fond of others drinking, right? So I guess that's out of the question.

[...]

Obi's kind of a tough guy to get things for.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[She laughs.] He really is. I've been mulling over this since December.

But he can hold his liquor from the looks of it, so I don't mind as much as long as he drinks responsibly... I'll have to think about it.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Well, I see him drinking all the time but I've never seen him drunk once, so that should say something.

But if worst comes to worst, you can always get him weapons. He'd probably appreciate that.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

That... does say something. I wonder if I should be concerned.

[A thoughtful look before she shrugs.] That's what I gave him for Christmas- along with a few other things! I dunno if I want to repeat.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Fair enough—but I'm out of ideas. Try asking Shirayuki? She might know him better than I do, actually.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... what.]</small. Really?

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Sure. Officially, he may be my messenger, but he generally acts as her unofficial guard. If Mitsuhide and Kiki are the aides who're always at my side, you can say Obi's the aide I sent to always be at Shirayuki's side.

... darn you, immediately collapsing threads

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... Huh!]

I hadn't thought of it that way. Hmm, maybe I should ask her then. Maybe she had better luck extracting info out of him than I've had.

I'm sure they love you too C:

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Probably. He jokes about how he likes her better, anyway.

sob sssshhhh

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

I dunno, Zen, Shirayuki is pretty likable.

4/5~

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

[He rolls his eyes.]

... And this is why I wish the others were here.
