Were all guardian cats this frustrating?
Likely because they were cats--
He caught the salt cat looking around, and wondered if he actually became aware of what kind of situation they were in. Considering he then suddenly changed into a person, he was not sure if he did. Hydor was also unaware that these cat guardians could legitimately turn into human cats, and could not help the fact that his eyes widened in mild alarm.
"You are serious," stated Hydor, a mild hint of incredulousness actually making it into his otherwise flat tone. He did not quite understand why the cat was implying that he was going to be attracting unsavories, but he had to assume it had something to do with being a humanoid cat.
That would be the only fact that he could come up with that would make sense in this situation.
This magical bullshit got stranger by the ******** on campus was not exactly something that would not get him in trouble, but it was less likely to get him arrested than punting a cat, considering people often seemed to care more about animals than humans. He pulled his arm back and attempted to punch Faust in the chest.
Strickenized
Hydor is both frustrated and resigned. I love it.
