Welcome to Gaia! ::

He had been napping when Arin came home but caught the tail end of the conversation he and Luc had been having. Luc had rubbed his ears when he passed him before he flopped down in his bed and he'd happily taken the scratches before padding out of Luc's room to get some water. Lucien usually kept his door cracked so he'd be able to get back in even after the young man went to bed.

After he'd gotten a bit of water, out of the decorative water fountain Luc had picked up for him, he hopped up onto the sofa and tugged over the book he'd been reading. Since he was awake he could do that for a while and then maybe go curl up with Luc.

The kitten did manage to read for a while until he noticed a strange noise. Ears twitching he looked over toward Arin's room. There was a lot of shuffling going on for someone who was supposed to be sleeping. Leaving his book he hopped off the sofa and padded into the knights room.

Padding over toward the bed Sumi hopped up onto the end of it and watched Arin for a moment. "Are you trying to make yourself a softer wall?" He wasn't quite sure what the man was doing by shifting his pillows around like that. His tail swished behind him gently as he cocked his head to the side.

He was tempted to jump up onto the pillows Arin was shuffling around but he got the feeling that wouldn't be all that appreciated.

"What did you do to your ... ooh." When Arin turned toward him he noticed the bruising on the man's cheek. Getting up he padded over and set his front paws up on Arin's thigh so he could lean up closer. "I'm sorry. You shouldn't get hit like that. You're nice."

Nice people weren't suppose to get hurt. Even if he knew they did given the whole mess everyone was in. He still didn't think it was right.

"Maybe I could sleep with you?" He leaned his head into the scratches, purring softly. "If I'm laying on you then maybe you won't roll over? And Luc likes to pet me when he's having a bad day so I think the fluffy is good for a bad mood."

Not that Arin seemed to be in a bad mood but he did have this look about him that he wasn't all that happy.

"I don't always sleep with him so I don't think so." Since he slept a lot during the day he usually wandered in and out of Lucien's room during the night. Plus Arin seemed like he needed the attention a little more right now.

Once the knight had settled down he tucked himself against Arin's side, head resting on his side. He was purring softly hoping that felt good. "On top might still be better but this will work." He was small enough at least and hopefully Arin wouldn't roll around too much with him there.

"Saying things like what?" He tried to tilt his head toward the scratches and so he could see Arin at the same time. It didn't quite work but he managed enough, would manage, so long as Arin didn't stop.

He was purring softly and managed not to laugh at the question. "Not much. I was napping ... someone hit you, another senshi?" That was about all he caught out of everything.

"If he was a friend why did he hit you? Unless .... oooh, wait did you tell him about Richterite?" If Arin had been talking to a friend then he might have admitted that. Which could explain why someone punched him.

Still not very nice but at least better than a friend taking a random swing at him. "At least you're not a talking cat. That makes things really complicated. Do you know how annoying it is to have to mew at a street vendor when all you want to is for them to hand you a piece of something?"

"Oh, no I can always get what I want just by being cute." He laughed softly. "But it would be easier if I could just ask rather than having to beg. But I'm not allowed to talk to the street venders." His nose scrunched slightly before he snuggled his head against Arin's side again.

"I'd rather not get punched in the face. It looks like it hurts. Do you think you'll be able to fix things with whoever hit you?"
