[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.]

<sub>[ Don't even let it be known that Kirk has a soft spot for animals, and maybe cats more than most. Maybe it was because of this link with Spock, or maybe it was just knowing that Spock liked cats. Hard to tell.

But when he saw the cat he had to smile and kneel, offering his hand to the feline. ]</sub>

Hey there, little guy. Is it weird I find it strange to fit guys like you hanging around our little bird cage?

[The cat doesn't seem to mind the attention, but when Jay hears the comment, he rushes over to the man.]

Wait a minute! What exactly does that mean?

also, noticed a typo /face-palm

_{[ Whoa, kid rushing at him out of nowhere, what even? He blinked, befuddled. ]}

Uh, what now?

I kinda figured.

[unseenspy]

What do you mean "what now?" What do you think you're doing with my cat?

orz

[universal_charm]

Your cat? Oh, sorry, I just thought it was a stray or something. And I was just petting him, no harm done.

_{[ He straightened, holding his hands up in mock surrender, though really he was more... amused than anything. It was cute, this guy being so concerned over their cat. ]}

[unseenspy]

Petting him...all right then. But it was really what you said that bothered me.

[universal_charm]

And what exactly would that be?

_{[ Given that petting the cat was now dubbed fine, he crouched back to scratch behind the cat's ears. ]}

[unseenspy]

Something about "hanging around a bird cage."

[He is planning to hang the cat around a bird cage?]

[universal_charm]

_{[He blinked, peering at the other a moment and then he laughed, getting it. ]}

Not literally. "Hanging around" as in, you know, being here, just chilling doing his cat thing. It's slang, more or less. And by "bird cage" I meant Luceti.

[unseenspy]

I see. I usually call it a fish bowl, but same difference, really.

[The cat moves closer to Kirk, leaning against his legs.]

[universal_charm]

Yeah, I've thought that too - fishbowl. But I thought bird cage worked better since we all have wings, you know? Little canary birds.

_{[His own wings are bright yellow, laced with black on the edge. Canary indeed. ]}

[unseenspy]

Well, didn't they fix you with a pretty pair of wings.

[He's teasing, of course.]

[universal_charm]

Ouch. I think I need cool water to put on the burn you just dealt me.
