Who: A MYSTERIOUS ANIMAL and you
Where: Lobby of the dorms, seating area
When: Day 34 afternoon

[ out in the seating area of the dorms there's just

a lynx, flopped out on a couch, its ears alert and listening but otherwise relaxed in its body posture. if you step near it its eyes will open, tracking your movement carefully



this is also a live. being a cat is nonverbal. ]

[YES.

Cardigan, with no reservation, goes to sit next to the lynx and pet his ears.]

[eatsthecanary]

[ as lynx this is less embarrassing, his guard seems to fall some and he tilts his head into that ]

[deicider]

[Good because Cardigan is Into This. Just going to shove their hands into his thick fur and cuddle up next to him.]

This is the best.

[eatsthecanary]

[ he cuddles right up to them in turn, rumbling Actual Lynx Purrs which sound a lot like a motor running. ]

[deicider]

[They lay their check against his shoulder so they can feel the purrs, chuckling.]

[eatsthecanary]

[ he tilts his head to rub his cheek against them, paws kneading into what cushions he can reach. ]

[deicider]

[honestly yes let's just do this for a while. This is so soothing.]

[eatsthecanary]

[ it's very nice being incentivized to not have to use words ]

[deicider]

[This is after Cardigan's second daily workout so what if they just.

Doze off here.]

[eatsthecanary]

[ he is perfectly okay with doing that tbh, just resting his head against him ]

[deicider]

[This is practically adorable.

Eventually Cardigan wakes, stretching slowly, shoving their face deeper into Whiskey's fur.]

Mm...

[eatsthecanary]

[ huffs out, stirring some at the sensation, tilting his head up to look at them ]

[deicider]

[stands, stretching.]

That was really nice. You make a great pillow.

[eatsthecanary]

[ a little nod, like a "I do thank you for noticing" ]

[deicider]

We should try some hunting with you like this some time.

[eatsthecanary]

[ his ears perk, seeming interested at that and there's a little nod ]

[deicider]

Do you want to try hunting me first...?

[eatsthecanary]

[ nods, nuzzling his nose against their side ]

[deicider]

[smiles, threading a hand through their fur, over their ears.]

I don't think I'm very experienced with dealing with animals, but I'll do my best.

[eatsthecanary]

[ ears flick, alert again, clearly Eager ]

[deicider]

Let's grab your gun first; we can see who gets who first.

[eatsthecanary]

[ nods, hopping off the couch to head for the elevator. apparently still doing this all as a cat as the preferable option ]

[deicider]

[absently petting his ears as they go up.]

[eatsthecanary]

[ prr. leans on them as they go. seems way more indulgent of this in general as a lynx ]

[deicider]

[This is v. cute. Cardigan grabs the gun.]

Give me thirty minutes..
