Arlen turned to look out of the kitchen to Tomo and the red cat he was carrying. Biting off the rest of his lollipop, he looked around for somewhere to through away the stick.

"Okay." Lily murmured, watching Bai a moment longer before she went back to the boy, holding out her hand. "Here... I'll throw it away. You can, um, go wait out in the other room if you want." she told him quietly, not sure she could stand him being there while she cooked... it brought back too many memories.

Cass and Ellie came bumbling and bouncing in from teh back door, laughing and chatting like only best friends could. Cass wandered over to her husband, and smirked up at him, before her eyes turned to worry. "Ohh... What's you done now got into, Tomo, love?" she said, arms snaking around him.
Ellie blinked around once or twice, sensing her ducky husband, but not having the slightest clue as to where he was. Seeing a red cat though, she quickly caught on. Walking over to sidle up next to him, a playful grin played across her face. "Oh, poo, now. My whole plans for the night are ruined!" she teased, voice lined with an alluring tone. One hand wandered down his spine, finding what would be the human equivalent of the small of his back, and letting two of her fingers rub him calmingly.

"Thank you," Arlen said, handing Lily the stick and walking out into the bar area, quietly looking up at all the people.

Baizou crept to the edge of the bar and leaned forward to sniff the younger Arlen. How interesting. He'd heard of the infamous 'mini-Arlen', but this was his first time seeing him. Had he lips, he would have smiled. He perked his ears and trotted over to Ellie while still on the bar, rubbing his face against her cheek as he curled his tail up and around her wrist. He purred loudly, wishing there was a way he could change back fully clothed.
Tomo waved his metal hand dismisively in regards to her worry. "Just a little magic practice." he said, sliding his arms around his fiancee. "It'll be better in no time." He assured her, wagging his tail happily as he leaned in to kiss her.

Cass giggled, and shook her head. "You two..." she cooed, letting her lips land to return his kiss. Her hands snaked up to his blonde hair, unable to help herself to a tiny ear rub, before pulling back with a smile. "Ah.. What'd you do today besides slice that arm?"
Ellie laughed softly, hands running down his back comortingly. "How on earth.. Ahh.. I dunno if I've ever heard you purr this loud, love." she teased, with a sneaky grin, and her other hand reaching out to pet him, too.

Lily watched Arlen leave, then threw out his stick, quickly cooking the promised meal. Within a few minutes, she came back out, two bowls of soup and two plates on a tray. "Arlen, pick a seat." she instructed softly.

Arlen looked back at the cat Bai and watched him travel along the bar. When Lily came out though he turned away and smiled. "Okay," he said, walking over to a nearby table and climbing into a chair.

Tomo's tail stopped the moment her hand touched his ear, "Mmm..." He murmured as almost every muscle in his body relaxed. "Why are you so amaziiing?" He murmured with a blissful smiled. "Now, lesse? Taught Bai how to turn into a cat. That was quite educational." he said, reaching up to scratch her ears back. "Oh! And I shaved!" he said proudly, with a nod.
Baizou would have blushed if he could, but he just leaned more into Ellie, swaying his tail along the bartop. Well, at least she was taller than him at the moment. He leaned in and licked the corner of her eye affectionately.

Lily smiled back at the boy, heading to the table as well, eyes sad. "Here you go..." his bowl wasn't as big as hers, or as full. "Did you want some milk or something else? To drink?" she asked as she set her own dishes down across from him, his already in front of him. "Or are you okay?"

"I'm okay Miss Lily," Arlen said, taking a wedge of grilled cheese and dipping it into the soup before taking a bite.

Cass's face fell against his chest at the touch of his hands, though seeming to be quite clumsy, her tail fell limp, and purring sounded quite loudly from her chest. Laughing a tiny bit, completely relaxed, muscles seeming to all let go f any tenseness. "Ahh.. I see..." One of her hands moved to his face, to slide along it approvingly.
Ellie laughed calmly, her hands moving along him, petting with a gentle touch. "I was right. I really have never heard you purr quite like this, my love." she cooed, kissing the tip of his ear, and smiling affectionately with a pink blush.

"Okay." Lily murmured, then sat and started in on her own food, unable to help watching the boy. She also couldn't help but hope for some tiny gesture that was remnant of her Arlen, almost desperate to find out for sure whether or not this child was, in fact, her fiance reborn.

Tomo nodded proudly, closing to fully enjoy the feeling of her hands on his face. He wagged his tail again, now that she had stopped scratching. He did have that fresh clean scent of a man recently showered and shaved. "Oh, Bai!" He said, pointing to the pile of cloth he had brought down with the red fluff. "Those're your clothes."
Baiozu stared at Tomo with that why-did-you-not-tell-me-before expression and crawled over to the clothing, wiggling himself into the outfit in the correct order. Deciding the shirt would be too complicated to figure out as a cat, he wiggled his backside into the boxers and shorts, making sure his legs and tail were all in the correct holes. He looked up at Ellie with an expression that clearly said, "Now what?" After a bit more fumbling, a near six foot teen was perched on the bartop. "Evening, love." He greeted with a small smile.

After a little while, Arlen looked up from his meal. "Are you okay Miss Lily?" he askedquietly, not wanting the other people to overhear.
