[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.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

[felinefox]

It'll come. If he's lost someone, he probably just needs the distraction right now.

[Because she didn't miss that first part of the video.]

[fatedcontract]

Okay. [He nods. And keeps nodding for a second, it's obvious he's a little nervous about this.]

Play with him a lot then?

[felinefox]

While he wants to. Seems like it could do the both of you some good, honestly.

[Because it's kind of obvious that Felix isn't the only one missing the guy who left.]

[Oh sure, call him out. She's right though, he really misses Yu already.]

Got it. I really appreciate the help. Um, I'm Makoto Yuuki, by the way. In case you find me or Felix somewhere.

[Hey, she's just calling it as she's seeing it.]

Shalimar. I guess if you're ever around the Guard barracks or something I might bump into you.

[fatedcontract]

Nice to meet you, Shalimar. And I'm sure we will, I joined the Guard awhile back.

[felinefox]

Oh yeah? Regular division or one of the specialists?

video;

[fatedcontract]

Regular division. I don't really know what I could even specialize in or anything.

[felinefox]

Nothing wrong with that. I'm on search and rescue myself but we wouldn't get far without the back-up of the generalists.

Well, you definitely have my support if we end up going out together.
