[Action] Jay the Cat Watcher...

[unseenspy]

[There's a black cat wandering around the village, close by Community Building 3. Yes, Jay has finally decided to let it out to play for a while. But he is nearby watching it carefully...not too close to make it obvious that the cat is his. He'll watch carefully if people try to pet or play with it, but if he suspects any kind of cruelty towards it, he'll rush in to the rescue.]

[Vegeta's just going out for a walk for a while, exiting CH3 himself, and starting his walk when he sees Jay, and then spots the cat- he knows it's Jay's, there's no doubt about it.

He walks over to Jay, smirking from ear to ear.]

So you finally let it out huh? What if it starts chasing something, will you be able to catch it?

[unseenspy]

Of course I'll be able to catch it.

[Jay gives him a suspicious look. Try anything funny, and there'll be hell to pay.]

[misterbrief]

Calm down! I'm not going to do anything to your infernal cat. [He looks back at it.] Why distance yourself so far? Afraid of telling people you have a cat?

[unseenspy]

Riiight. [Yeah, he believes you. Not.]

I'm sure a cat needs its personal space like people do.

[misterbrief]

Hrmf. I think you're giving it a little too much concern. It's just a cat. It will be fine.

[unseenspy]

Hmm. And what's got you so concerned about me, Vegeta?

[He's actually genuinely curious about this one.]

Then again, you would say something like, "It's just a cat."

[misterbrief]

I'm not. [He turns his mouth up and sets his arms back in the default position, folded across his chest. He watches the cat play a little more, looking to see if there was some kind of small animal it would go after, but he personally doesn't spot any.]

That's because it is "just a cat." I don't see the point in coddling it as if it were a baby. It's not a person, it's a cat. They can take pretty good care of themselves outside of food and water.

[unseenspy]

You have no idea how people bond with their pets, do you? I'm surprised, since you say you used to have a cat yourself.

[The cat is beginning to wander off again, so Jay moves to follow it.]

[misterbrief]

It wasn't my cat. I only had to feed it when my family went out for other things. [If he didn't, Bulma would have murdered him.] It was my wife's father's cat.

[unseenspy]

[Wait, what?]

...You have a wife?

[What woman would ever marry a prick like him?]

[misterbrief]

[He grits his teeth at that reaction.]

Yes, I do. Is there a problem with that?

[unseenspy]

[Shrug.]

Well, you don't exactly strike me as a ladies' man...

[misterbrief]

[His eyes roll, before he glances back at Jay.] The less women I have to deal with, the better. I've got enough of them to deal with as is.

[unseenspy]

[Wow...]

Well, I certainly hope you don't treat your wife that way. It makes me wonder why she even bothered to marry you.

[misterbrief]

It's because she has good taste. [Duuuuh.]

[unseenspy]

A woman who marries a man who obviously doesn't like to deal with women... Good taste indeed.

[Seriously, your strange logic baffles even his brilliant, brilliant mind.]

[misterbrief]

[Truth of the matter is he just doesn't like to deal with anyone, despite the fact he truly does care for his family- but he's not going to tell Jay that.]

We have our own ways of living together. [Because what a holy complicated mess it would be to explain that. But he doesn't look irritated when he's talking about her, however. He is trying to look irritated but he's not doing a spectacular job at it. In addition to that he involuntarily chuckles very quietly to himself.]

Not that you'd know much about that, would you.

[unseenspy]

I can only imagine.

[And what he imagines is a complicated mess, indeed.]
