[The phone starts recording at Makoto tries to pry a growing cat off of the screen. There's a little objective mew as he does but he gives him a little chin scritch.]

Oh, Felix. I know, you miss him. [A little meow and he head butts the phone, giving Makoto a chance to turn it full towards him and- oh. It's recording.]

Ah, sorry about that. I, uh, I'm not very good at this but I guess I should tell everyone that Yu Narukami has gone back home. I have his cat, Felix.

[This time, a fuzzy little head butt the phone to look at him.] I've never cared for a cat before. We had Koromaru back in the dorm on Tatsumi Port Island but he's a dog. And pretty self sufficient.

So, advice on taking care of a cat would be very appreciated.

[Willa just stares at the video.]

Yu's gone?

He's really gone?

[She doesn't want to believe it but she doesn't think that this kid, who can't even figure out how to take care of a cat, would be lying. Something in her brain doesn't connect and she finds herself feeling very numb.

Yu is so stupid, to leave now... why would he do that? And not say goodbye.]

[fatedcontract]

[He's not sure who this is but anyone that care about Yu, he's going to try to be there for.]

Yeah... I'm sorry.

[Really, he's right there with her on the thought of him going without saying goodbye. He should try to follow, somehow, but he has Felix to look after. And Yu left his glasses, if he came back, he'd probably want them back.]

I went to check on him and Felix was just a wreck.

[Willa feels her anger and frustration flare, hiding the sadness that she doesn't want to share with a complete stranger.]

You're not kidding? He's really gone?

[She bites the inside of her cheek.]

And he just left everything behind?

Video [Private]

[fatedcontract]

I wouldn't lie about something like that.

[Yeah, he can understand.

He raises his hand, showing a pair of glasses before Felix nudges his hand.]

Pretty much. I found his glasses.

I have experience with cats.

[ Akira frowns then. ] We should talk then... about Yu-kun being gone.

[ aka: meet in person. ]

[fatedcontract]

[Oh, Akira. You're his hero.]

I'll do anything to get your help. I got scolded by Yu a few times for spoiling Felix with tuna.

[Ah. Right.] Yeah, we should. Do you know a good place?

[jokerofhearts]

[ Let him TELL YOU ABOUT MORGANA. ]

Each cat has their own personality. Like people.

[ It sounds like I'll need to get to know Felix... ]

Hmm. Somewhere with just the two of us?

video;

[fatedcontract]

Felix definitely seems kind of willful.

[He's still learning about this particular cat.]

Hm, the library has plenty of space? I can't think of many places that it'd be just us two. I have a bed in the communal spaces.

[He may have to look into a private place though with Felix.]

[felinefox]

[She didn't know Yu to miss him. But she can at least help with the rest - she's no expert but she can share a little feline perspective if nothing else.]

Honestly? Cats tend to be pretty self-sufficient too. As long as they have access to everything they need, they can take care of most of the rest.

[fatedcontract]

Um... I think I have everything? A little box, food dishes, a crate for vet visits and everything. A collar.

[He picks up one of those sticks with a feather hanging from it, which Felix promptly leaps at.] This thing.

video;

[felinefox]

Sounds like you've got things under control, then.

[Though with the playful mood Felix is in right now, she decides to offer a little more insight.]

Oh and, don't worry. If he's not in the mood for attention, he'll almost definitely let you know about it. Cats aren't shy about that kind of thing.

video;

[fatedcontract]

Do I? Good, I've never had pets before. I moved around so much, never had the chance.

[He's not sure if it's just a playful mood or the fact that he wants all of Makoto's attention on him.]

I kind of can't wait until he wants a break.

[video | un: flamel]

[alchemyfreak]

Cats are pretty easy.

[Ed didn't really know Yu well enough to mourn the loss, but he knows how it is losing people, especially losing people who don't even say goodbye.]

I'm sorry about Yu, he was a good guy.

[video]

[fatedcontract]

[Interesting username. He won't comment though since his was commented on similarly.]

I never really had pets. Koro-chan was kind of a special case.

[He appreciates the sentiment, at least.]

He was- is. He is. I'm glad I got to see him again. I just wish I was able to give him a proper goodbye,

[alchemyfreak]

Special case?

[After the talking cat he met several months ago, and the talking ponies he used to know he's not dismissing anything anymore.]

That doesn't happen often around here, but when you say again I guess that means you're from the same world.

[It's a question, although he doesn't word it like one.]

Yu and I were roommates briefly. We kind of fell out of touch after I moved out of the communal building.

[fatedcontract]

Koro-chan is like Yu and I. He can summon a Persona even though he's a dog.

[It's weird but there it is.]

We are, yeah.

I'm sorry you guys lost touch. Yu is a good guy, he isn't the type to purposely brush people off, I think.

UN: Kues

[mirakills]

They're very self sufficient. Is it an indoor-outdoor cat?

[ For once, she's at the head of an innocent conversation. ]

[fatedcontract]

Indoor, as far as I can tell. He's snuck outside once, I think, but that was it.

[He appreciates that.]

[vedaandme]

If you have not taken care of a cat before, why did you keep it? Why not find someone else to take it?

Re: un: tieria.erde

[fatedcontract]

[Well]

He belonged to Yu. And he knows me. Besides, that's kind of like telling someone not to have a pet just because they never had one before.

[He doesn't mean to be abrasive. Really.]

[vedaandme]

[Abrasive was okay. Tieria wasn't much better.]

Mm. I was merely curious and asking. I did not mean to imply you should not have one.

So you are keeping it for a sense of familiarity then? From what I have heard, cats can be somewhat adverse to change. It would likely be best for it to stay with familiar people.

[fatedcontract]

Sorry. [Kind of.] I guess I'm a little protective since he was Yu's.

I guess I am. I met Felix when Yu first got him, so it keeps him close. And Felix already knows me. [And has the blue-haired boy wrapped around his paw.]

[tevinteraltus]

Ah, well, he will be missed.

[ And he can't help the slight smile. ]

I didn't know Yu had a cat named Felix.

video;

[fatedcontract]

[Oh, Makoto doesn't recognize this guy. Maybe he should make more of an effort to be sociable.]

Yeah, he found Felix not long after he got here. Quite a name to live up to, huh?

Re: video;

[tevinteraltus]

[ That's alright, Makoto. He doesn't recognize you, either. Maybe you both should. ]

Felix? Yes it is. It means "lucky" or "fortunate", at least in ancient Tevene.
