It had hurt and to be fair, he’d almost clawed the man who’d reached into his chest. Kioshi or… Miyamoto, that was what their name was when they were powered up, had done their best to keep him wrangled and calmed down. It had been mentioned that they’d been the gentlest option but if that was gentle, he didn’t want to know what rough was. Nothing felt too different, other than that it seemed like a bit of the morning was fuzzy. Kneading his paws into Kioshi’s chest as they brought him back home, Lorcan ran out to get lunch for everyone. It meant he was left alone with Kioshi and words needed to be had. Hopping out of the darker-haired male’s arms, he huffed and fluffed up as he looked up at them. “Awful, that was awful. And that’s what happens to everyone?” Flicking his tail in annoyance as he went to preening to fix his fur from where he’d been manhandled by the red-haired General King. A tablet had been given to him but he wasn’t in the mood to look at it right now. Maybe later on but right now he was bothered and annoyed. Sure it meant he could stick around and maybe it would be easier to get nicer things because of all this, but he felt he deserved to be a bit bothered.

The morning had been..eventful to say the least but it had at least ended well. He still was surprised that Omen was now a mauvian, it was some sort of luck which he’d not been expecting, it solved some issues in his life. They were issues he had been working around, along with Lorcan, but now there were less issues and things would be easier.
“For the most part, they did use a crystal for me when I made eternal but not when I corrupted and upgraded myself.” That had been a two for one deal and it had hurt, just as the other said. “Officers go through it each time, there is no crystal option to ease things for them.” Lorcan would, if he planned on making General, go through it all again. It would make three times for him. Kioshi felt for the blonde, having known what the pain felt like himself.
“Do you want something to drink while I go cancel the order from chewy, I won’t be needing all that cat food or the toys and I’d like to keep that money in my wallet.” Because he’d need to it to feed the mauvian. He had taken advantage of the christmas toys turning up on chewy’s site and ordered a load of toys as soon as they’d shown up on the site, but they wouldn’t be needed now. He still had time, thankfully, to cancel the order as it hadn’t shipped yet - it would soon though.
“Then I can brush out your fur if you’d like.” As he had a feeling that would still be something Omen would need him to do.

The mention of crystals was beyond him but if it meant no hands in chests then he was a bit less miffed about it. It wasn’t something he wanted to deal with personally. Flicking his tail a bit less, the answer was good enough for now.
“Food cancel, toys kept.” Just because they promised him better food didn’t mean he didn’t want things to play with. Maybe a new and better tower to sit on and watch from up high. Something the blonde had said made him curious though. If they weren’t sneezing anymore did that mean he could go between this place and the apartment as he pleased? That meant more nice things for him would be kept here and that would be just perfect.
Moving forward, he bumped his head into Kioshi’s shin before circling their feet. “Yes I’d like that.” It might help him feel less manhandled.

“You still want the toys…I was going to donate the toys you already have at home and the towers. I mean you're a mauvian now and I didn’t think you’d want normal cat things…” That they would be beneath the other now, that a mauvian would be entertained with other things, would spend their time doing other things. “I can keep them though and keep the order for the toys though…” Trailing off as he looked down at the large mauvian.
“Come on, let's go get your brush and I’ll handle that order.” Because he had brought the others brush with him when he’d brought Omen to Lorcan’s yesterday. Trying to keep the others fur neat, and knot free, was no easy task so Kioshi was brushing the cats fur whenever a chance to do so came up. Hence why the brush had come with him yesterday, incase he found an opening to brush out the fur and handle any knots he might uncover while petting Omen.
“Think you can handle using a cell phone if I put my phone in front of you? I can walk you through canceling the food part of the order.”

“But they’re my toys still.” Growling just the smallest bit about them wanting to get rid of things they’d gotten him. They were still his things even if he was different now, not that he really fully got all the differences yet and apparently Kioshi didn’t either.
Looking down at the phone, he pawed at the screen but it was difficult to navigate. “Hrm…. Probably better if you do it. I wanna see how this all works though. I want another tower for here too, a nice place to sit and watch the tv with you both.” Maybe he’d get more of why they came over here for that so often and left him to fend for himself for dinner.

“Oh, yeah I can keep them in the order then. I didn’t think you’d still want cat toys, I thought it would be like an adult with childrens toys.” Shrugging he went to unlock his phone and show the mauvian how to sign into his chewy account, going on to show Omen how to edit the order since it had been placed but not shipped. He was able to fix things.
“Another tower. I can do that as a new order.” Since chewy was rather good about shipping and things tended to arrive in two days time, meaning Omen would have toys and a tower in no time. Once the adjustments were made, and money sent back to his account Kioshi decided to work with showing them the cat towers - so they could decide on one. Now that it wasn’t so hard to brush Omen’s fur out Kioshi couldn’t wait to get to doing just that, because the other tended to get knots rather easily, but first was the obvious cat tower that the other wanted. He just hoped the other didn’t decide he needed one of those robotic cat litter boxes, though they really weren’t boxes. Stepping away for a moment, leaving Omen to look over the cat towers on offer, Kioshi went to get the brush and returning, after some moments spent getting the brush, he went to brushing the others long fur. “You could also join us on the couch to watch tv, Lorcan won’t have an issue with it.” Since he didn’t have allergies to mauvians, even if they looked the same before and after awakening. It seemed there was enough change that his allergies had no issues with alien cats, which was good.

Booping his head into them, Omen huffed again. “They’re still my things, and so what if I want to play around with them?” It wasn’t like he wasn’t still a cat in appearance, he didn’t have a job like Kioshi or Lorcan, not in the same way at least.
Looking over the open page of cat towers, he saw a few he liked that looked tall and comfortable. By the time Kioshi was back and brushing him, he had a few settled on and added to a list. It hadn’t been easy to figure out but he’d done it.
“That could work, but I do like my high places.” He also didn’t like the idea of getting squished between them.

“I suppose that’s true. I haven’t spent much time with a mauvian, Lorcan however is rather close to a mauvian.” Kioshi hadn’t really ever dealt with the alien cats, not needing to really, but he knew Lorcan spent time around one. She was a mauvian his cousin owned, if you really wanted to claim to own a mauvian, but the cousin was an officer like Lorcan was, When he came back to brush Omen the dark haired male found himself sitting down, eyes on his phone.
“You found a tower or two?” Not expecting more than two towers. “You can purchase them, I have my credit card connected to the account.” Trusting the mauvian to not go purchasing a lot of things, he had no reason to expect otherwise from Omen.
“Alright, but on occasion you can join us on the couch for a movie. I’ll put a cat tower in my bedroom, in case you don’t want to sleep on my bed.” Since they had mentioned liking heights, which he’d always figured Omen preferred. He knew most cats seemed to prefer heights.

“Oh? Is he?” Maybe he could talk to the other mauvian and learn more. But he didn’t care too much about all that other than what mattered for Kioshi. He had to make sure they were doing okay so they could keep feeding him on time or at least so Kioshi or Lorcan could feed him. Just because he could talk and sort of knew what this phone thing was didn’t mean he could magically open doors and reach things. Or did it and he just didn’t know yet?
Bapping at the phone with his paws, he tried to add the one he wanted to the cart but growled slightly at how hard it was to do. Instead he decided to try with his nose and it worked a bit better but left him cross eyed as he tried to look while still so close.
The mention of staying on the couch during movies opened up new food possibilities and he looked up and nodded. “Mmm yes I like that idea and you both can pet me during the movie too!” Trilling excitedly at the prospect of the attention and stealing food when they were focused on the movie.
“These work but can you do the rest? It’s hardddddddd.” Whining as he struggled to navigate things on the phone.

Using one hand to brush Omen the other hand went to work the website, bringing it back to the list of cat towers. “I’ll scroll and you pick what you like.” Not having a clue how much the other might wind up having him put in the cart. “I’ll see if we can’t figure out a way for you to use my phone with your paws.” Though watching him use his nose had been entertaining to say the least, he just managed to refrain from smiling or chuckling at the other.
“Mauvians have tablets, like agents, I wonder if a tablet would be easier for you as opposed to my cell phone.” It might be an idea and he was certain with the holidays coming up there would be sales on such an item. Actually…he had his tablet for work, which he used to design tattoos, he could always have Omen use that. “If I let you use my work tablet can you not delete my work?” He figured he could trust the other, they wouldn’t risk his job by deleting his work files, but the words still passed his lips.
“I’ll let you use it so you have internet access. I don’t bring it with me to work, I don’t need it.” Since he sent his files and opened and uploaded them once he got to work. “And don’t whine, it’s immature.” Rolling his eyes down at the dark furred feline he was brushing, gently as he’d found a small mat of fur.
