[chaoticwhimsy]

I guess you'd get used to anything eventually.

[She is going to try and reach up and take the cat from his shoulder and hold it up wrapped around the middle, rear legs dangling as she peers into it's four eyes.]

[Her own kitten chases the toy, but then suddenly pounces on John's hand instead, viciously and harmlessly attacking his thumb.]

[windeity]

"Anything" might be a bit of a stretch, Luna. There are some things I am sure neither of us would get used to. [While John's busy thumbwrestling Luna's kitten and letting the small creature bat his hand around, Mewpac willingly goes from John's shoulder to Luna's hands before reaching up with a paw to boop her nose.

Mewpac is used to being carried around by a certain Strider so she has zero qualms with being picked up.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Oh, I don't know...

[Luna giggled softly at the nose boop, shifting her grip to one arm so she can boop her back.]

I think people really can get used to anything. You just have to...do it slowly. So they don't notice.

[Probably a dark attitude for a thirteen year old...]

[windeity]

[He doesn't outwardly express it, but yeah, that's a little disturbing for a thirteen year old girl and it's sort of sad. Mewpac continues more or less making this into a game with Luna while purring loudly from her place in the girl's hands and John's idly idly moves to pet Luna's kitten once it gets tired of attacking his hand.

Still. He knows a few people who have that kind of mindset and it's not good for anybody.]

Think that counts for good things as much as not so good things?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Mm.

[Her kitten did get bored, until the petting started, then she rolled over and started batting at him.]

It's probably good? Since it means we can adapt and stuff, right? But I mean.

[Another little giggle as she bats back again, and then leans forward to nuzzle her nose against the kitten. Woah. Four eyes so close.]

People will abuse it for bad things, they always do.

[windeity]

[John's hand is occupied by a kitten but one of the waiters comes by with a drink menu and he takes it with his other hand to glance over. He doesn't seem to mind multitasking.]

I think adapting is the most important thing a person can do. [Mewpac blinks all four of her eyes instead.] But at the same time...people cannot use it to excuse shitty behavior either, you know? That is the part I do not understand about people.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Well I didn't say it was an excuse. Just a thing they do.

[Still all said very casually. She boops the kitten again after the eye blink, and then turns and sets her down on the table to see how she'll react to her other kitten, who is preoccupied with John's hand still.]

[windeity]

So what do you do about those people? [He continues wiggling his fingers for the kitten to play with even as he looks up from the menu.] Also you're kind of young for coffee, but how do you feel about hot chocolate?

[chaoticwhimsy]

I don't do anything about them. [She smirked.]

Aaaand hot chocolate. If you're paying. Already had coffee today.

[windeity]

Sometimes the world just sucks. [But he nods since yes, he'll pay since it's never a bad idea to be kind to people so he gestures for one of the members of the waitstaff to come over so he can place an order.] They make really good coffee drinks here but I am interested in their other stuff, too.

[chaoticwhimsy]

I can't really have more than one cup of coffee a day it makes me kind of...[She snickered.] Kind of wired.

[Luna you're already kind of wired.]

But it can be fun.

[Luna's kitten finally notices Mewpac and rolls back onto her feet, slowly approaching the other kitten.]

[windeity]

You'll eventually get used to having more than one cup a day. It is practically a requirement for growing up. [He glances at the kittens then and Mewpac sits patiently on the table, tail flicking back and forth playfully while she waits for Luna's kitten to approach. When she gets close enough, Mewpac lifts a paw to bat at the kitten's head without actually attacking.]

They seem to be doing okay.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Maybe. I've got way more energy than I need most of the time anyway. After nine AM at least.

[Morning were just the worst.]

Yeah...I was worried they'd fight or something...

[Her own kitten froze at the face bap, then lifted her hand to bap Mewpac right back softly.]

Or fight less...uh...

[Okay this was kind of adorable.]

[windeity]

I envy that. Wait until you hit college and then talk to me about energy. [No John's just exhausted for other reasons. He can't help but laugh a little as Mewpac meows plaintively and immediately moves to bat at something on the table for Luna's kitten to chase after.]

They're both still little and Mewpac's a spoiled weirdo. I doubt they'd fight unless they had reasons to fight and they're both pretty safe for now.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Luna's kitten immediately shot after the batted thing, tackling it into a roll.]

Mine's not spoiled. Well. [A little smile.] Not yet.

Especially not after all the shots they made her get.

[windeity]

[And off they go.]

Shots? Like vaccines you mean so you can keep her?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yeah...since she was a stray and I couldn't find her mom or anything they did this crazy deep examination and then gave her like, ten shots.

[She had not been a happy kitten.]

[windeity]

Probably for the best. You don't know what these guys can pick up on the streets. [Though now he's staring at Mewpac.] ...man I did not think about the upkeep of a cat. [But alas. The hot chocolate comes by for the two of them and John tosses out a casual "thanks" before pushing one of the mugs across the table to her.]

But at least you're doing your best to look after her. Cats live for a pretty long time, too, so you're kind of stuck with a friend for a while.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yeah... [Luna shrugged, watching the new kittens playing.] I mean, what else could I do? I couldn't just leave her outside.

[Hm. She hesitated as she picked up her hot chocolate and took a sip.]

Wait, didn't you get yours shots and stuff?

[windeity]

[UMMM.]

I...think? It's kind of hard to say since her situation was a little different given the whole Retrospec thing.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Luna frowned, looking at the two kittens, and then she tapped her fingers on the table to try and get their attention.]

Did you get her checked out at least?

[windeity]

If anyone did my roommate did, but I think so. It's hard to keep up with his schedule sometimes but we definitely talked about it. Don't worry.

[Mewpac seems used to this method and she stops wrestling with Luna's kitten, meowing inquisitively before she gets up and pads across the table to her.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

If you say so.

[Luna's own kitten cam prowling after Mewpac, until Luna had both of them sniffing at her hands, so she just danced her fingers a bit.]

I have zero idea how to take care of a cat. At least my dog disappears.

[windeity]

[And Mewpac's busy batting at Luna's hand like it's a game, content to tire herself out while John's just staring.]

Your dog does what now?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Disappears.

[SHe'll keep wiggling her fingers as she straightens up a bit, looking around. Normally Luna didn't care much about consequences, but she liked animals and didn't want to scare the ones in the store.]

I can show you? But it might freak out some of the pets here.
