She was being adorable, perhaps he'd snap a photo of her to add to his phone? Colin was still contemplating doing so when she explained about the subspace pocket Mauvians had access to. "Oh, that makes sense. Subspace. Of course." And it really did make sense to him - Colin wasn't as smart as Quenton, but he was bright enough (and had enough of an imagination) that he could reason through concepts like this and accept them. Also, it made sense because Ash said so. "I'll definitely do that. Be a shame for a senshi to not have your awesome upgrade."
Now that he knew where his phone and pen 'ran off to' sometimes when he didn't need them, it was easy to concentrate and pop things off. As fantastic as his phone was, it was for senshi use...and that meant it should be put away. Muuuuch more convenient than lugging them around all the time. Instead he got his own smart-phone and got a quick snap of the pretty cat in his lap. She was settling further into his lap, seeming to want to rest, so Colin settled himself in too, one hand returning to stroke over her ears and shoulders lightly.
If she fell asleep, he'd stay still for her and play on his phone - he didn't mind at all. Being with the Mauvian was nice, petting her silky fur relaxing, after all. So a cat-nap on Ash's part really wouldn't have been any bother. Having a bit of down-time would be good for him too, he could probably get some emails out, or update his Instagram with a photo that wasn't ballet or boyfriend related.
