This was not what Hania had expected when he woke up this morning.

It had started as a normal morning with the black cat waking up on a branch high in a tree. He had stretched then sat there taking in the morning(noon) and enjoying the height for a good ten minutes or so before he had made his way down. He had started to walk around the park to make sure there were no Senshi that were in need of being awakened when things started to go done hill from there. First a little boy had tried to entice him with food to come close enough to grab which would have been find if the boy had been planning on petting him but Hania heard talk of baby dolls clothes and promptly went the other way. Then when he thought he felt a Senshi that needed to be awakened and started to head over to her a crowd passed by which lead to him loosing the potential Senshi with black and red hair and getting stepped on. Then just when he thought things would be looking up he got caught.

By animal control.

Don't ask how that happened as it was embarrassing and he wouldn't tell.

So now Hania found himself trapped in an animal shelter, thankfully it was a no kill shelter, and sitting in a cage. Worse, it wasn't even a top cage but one at floor level! He let out little grumble noises for a bit but stopped in a hurry when a staff member came in. The young man scooped him out of the cage and took him to a back room when he could see a large tub like sink and cleaning supplies. He stayed docile when getting the bath, know it would both feel food afterwards and let the man lower his guard and might give him the chance to escape from this predicament he had found himself in. Once he was clean he was taken to another room and was given a check up from a vet. The less was said about that the better.

When it was finally over he was being carried back to the cage when his chance for freedom had arrived. A small family with a little girl had just walked in and the little girl was holding the door open. Perfect. The Guardian quickly squirmed out of the surprised staff members arms, jumped to the floor and ran like youma dogs were snapping at his tail. His running paid off thankfully and with in seconds he was free back outside, though he could hear yelling and footsteps behind him. It didn't take him long to lose his persuers and find himself a tall tree to hide up in until he felt it was safe to come back down again. Maybe it was time to find a collar or find a Senshi or Knight he could stay with for a while. Because this was definitely not what he had been expecting when he had woke up this morning.
