A cat's nose was quite an asset as well as a curse. For Thetis, he had smelled something quite alluring in the air and that smell lead him to the alley off 17 Waverly, right by the door of the diner. However, at this point, it was too late for Thetis to stop and realize just what his clean silver paws were walking over. With a loud shriek that was akin to a little girl, Thetis fluffed up into a little black puffball and began dancing around in a circle with his paws lifting up in each motion.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeyaaaaa! Help help help! Get it off, oh my Mau, get it offffffffff!"
Suddenly, Thetis leap up and ran through the propped open door of the diner's kitchen. However, once in there, he continued exactly what he'd been doing prior to leaping inside. Circle, circle, circle, scream, paw lift, circle, circle, circle, scream, paw lift, scream.

Noah had been gathering up leftovers and trash from the stainless steel counters to toss in a garbage back in his hands, gathering up the strays and empty boxes to take out to the dumpster in one go.
But during this process, there was an invasion in his kitchen. A shrieking invasion. He was still very unfamiliar with the concept of talking cats, so when the screeching and squawking small black furry think dashed in, he pegged it was the biggest rat he'd ever seen in his life.
He ended up yelling back, though thankfully only half as girly as his companion.
"AW ********, RATS!"
No no no no no, this place could not handle the reputation killer that rodents were. He needed to boot it out, now. But first he dropped what he was holding with an unceremonious plop and grabbed for the broom to eliminate this threat.

Thetis might have finished freaking out over the stuff on his paws by now if Noah hadn't scream that there was suddenly a rat in here. Black ears suddenly perked up as curly whiskers tingled causing Thetis to onto the ground as if he was ready to pounce. He was the brave warrior Heracles and he was going to capture this rat for this man here! Well, that was the initial thought. Instead, immediately after he lowered down to the ground he thought he seen something out of the corner of his eye.
"RAT?" He shrieked, getting up off the ground and spinning around in the spot as if he were chasing his tail. "DON'T LET IT GET ME!"

Noah had managed to grab the broom and hit at the furry thing like it wasa hockey stick before he registered all that screaming and squeaking was the English ********... what?"
He shifted the broom handle to hold it in front of him defensively, ready to bash at him again if he came any closer.
"Are you a were-cat too?!"

Thetis had stopped spinning long enough to see the broom come down on him. In a slow motion playback in his mind, he could see the broom coming down toward his face. His eyes widened until he might as well been a baby Puss in Boots and then he felt it come down on him. He let out a yelp of a sound as his body slid back against the floor.
Huge green eyes looked up at Noah, on the brink of tears, as his body curled up into a ball that hugged the floor.
"W-why sir, why did you hit me with a broom?"
Brooms are dirty. Why sir, why?

"We have a strict no animals allowed policy in the kitchen," Noah stated, trying to feign some sort of authority. "You look small for a cat, shrimp, I thought you were a sewer rat."
He was still holding the broomhandle in front of him defensively.
"You're another one of those talking cats," He stated. Thank you, captain obvious. "It would be a lot more convenient for everyone if you just turned human and pretended."

Thetis definitely didn't hear Noah say there was a strict no animal policy because before Noah could even swing his broom, Thetis was curled up on the floor wailing out sobs. How could he say he looked like a sewer rat? He was a fine bred cat! Sob sob sob, how could he associate all that filth with him? He prided himself on being clean and now he was from the sewer? How could this be? Was this why no one loved him?
"I'm not a dirty rat!" He cried out.
If he could hear Noah over his own sobbing he might have pointed out that cats can't turn into people, you silly human!

Noah stared, and watched, and looked away, and grimaced, and randomly cycled back through all these things some more.
This was weird. This was weirder than most things in an already weird set up. There was a kitten wailing and crying on his kitchen floor because of an insult and he would not assume human form or leave. It was very offputting.
"Hard to tell when you're movin' fast," He said, trying to halfheartedly explain. "Sorry?"

The apology had been the most glorious thing Thetis had heard in minutes! With such a simple word there was suddenly hope in the world again. Teary green eyes opened to look up at Noah and then very slowly he stood up off the floor, hunching over slightly.
"Do you mean it? Truly?" His voice was meek but his legs moved true. Like a soft wind, the guardian cat slid across the floor slowly until he found himsel looking up at Noah with eyes wide. This man would pick him up, right? He sought the comfort of someone's arms do bad and feeling loved. He would do a great job loving you if you just gave him a chance!

"U-um..." Noah was sure that he was not handling this super well, but he had not only been assaulted by a talking kitten, it was now at his feet being weirdly clingy.
"I guess?"
He was not inclined to pick up a strange kitten, but he did crouch down, closer to his level. "You really shouldn't be so loud, what if someone heard you?"
Like, seriously, one talking cat in his lifetime was enough.
"You can shapeshift, can't you? Pretty sure it would be a lot easier for both of us if you looked human."

Thetis wasn't sure where Noah was going to go with his answer. His face shifted in worry and he wondered if Noah really did mean it. As such, the small black cat with the curly fur found himself lowering back to the ground before impatiently sitting back up in the time it took Noah to answer. With the answer, green eyes looked at Noah with hope. Maybe he'd hold him and pet him!
The thought of someone hearing it caused Thetis to fall back again. He was being criticized. This man didn't like him, he was full of flaws! He lowered his head with a small cry, his eyes staring at the floor.
"I'm sorry," he whispered quietly.
What happened next caused the cat to look back up at Noah but this time with confusion.
"I'm sorry?" He uttered. "Sir, I can't look human I am a cat. I am a magical cat but I am just a cat."
Oh man, if only he could shapeshift into a human. It was a small dream for a small cat but he knew exactly what he would look like if he could. He would be as tall as this man looming over him, and at least twice as strong as him! He would be able to knock this man out with a single swing of the broom that him him earlier. Finally, the world would be able to see him as he truly was!

Noah probably would've been less inclined to pity him if he knew this cat was fantasizing about being tall enough to knock him out with a broom.
But he was oblivious to such things, and he sighed as he watched the pathetic kitten whimper and cry.
"Well, it's just been my experience magical talking cats turn into things. Like uh... you know. Cat people and civilians and stuff."
He set the broom handle down on the floor and scooped up the little thing as gently as he could. Which was not that gentle, but he did his best. Even he could not resist the sad kitten crying and apologizing. And also, it got his dirty paws off his kitchen floor.
"Where's yer senshi? Don't you belong to someone?"

If his thoughts being publicly known would have prevented him from getting pity love, Thetis would have thrown them away in a jiffy. However, he didn't so he continued to fantasize about being a large, muscular man with the strength of ten men now. Yes, it was growing but it didn't mean it couldn't be true! IT COULD BE TRUE.
"Hm," he said with a small head tilt, his teeth showing in what could only be described as a small smile. "If only."
Then his dream came true. Well, one of them. It wasn't the one where he turned into a buff man with the strength of twenty men but where he was lifted off the dirty floor and picked up. Sure, his fur was kind of caught on this man's hands but at least the man didn't hold him like Ellie did. He was grateful for that but things took a dark twist when Noah asked about his senshi.
The sad cat eyes quickly turned into a sobbing mess of cat tears as his little body curled up against Noah. How could he ask about her? Did he want to hurt him?
"I... I... " he muttered. It was true he did technically have a senshi he protected but things were... complicated and things didn't go down how he expected them to. She wasn't happy to see him, which he might have been okay with if she hadn't been throwing herself all over another guardian cat. No, he couldn't blame that cat. She was one sexy feline but he was so sad that it was not him. He wanted to be wanted. He wanted to be loved.
"SHE DOESN'T WANT ME. NO ONE LOVES ME."

There was clearly a discrepancy in their trains of thought as Noah seemed to rescue the kitten from the dirty floor, his mind was seeing it more as rescuing his clean, sparkling floor from a dirty kitten.
Almost absentmindedly his hand that wasn't cradling the little body reached over to lightly pet the fur on his head with two fingers before it started bawling.
Oh god why was it crying? This is why he was terrible with babies.
"I-I... I'm sorry?!" Wait, could a senshi just not want their cat? He would have to ask Zia, he decided, completely oblivious to the fact this would probably spawn some bawling on her end as well. Or at least a punch in the arm.
Cats and senshi, man, talk about a minefield of emotions.
"UM!" Please shut up, "I'M SORRY ARE YOU OKAY?!" That's not how you say shut up, Noah.

Noah's apology caught Thetis' ears but it was the second time that really drew it in. Slowly the small cat quieted down in the arms of this large man and a soft purr could be heard. This man did care, he really cared! If only this man was his senshi, it would be so nice to be loved like this. However, he didn't sense any senshi power off this man despite any concentration he may have focused onto him. It did beg to question why he did not freak out over the fact he could talk. Oh well! Questions later, love now.
"Thank you," he said softly.
"Do you have a sink I could borrow?" He asked politely. "I'm afraid there is something horrifying out by your door and I direly hope to get it off."
