[ 1 ] video ; un: @altin
[ It takes a few moments of video before it settles and he decides to start speaking. His tone is a little unsure, and a little quiet and shy. ]
I finally get my own place, and only a couple days in --
[ Video diverts to a calico cat curled up in blankets and sheets. ]
She follows me home. She is very friendly, so I have a hard time believing she doesn't belong to someone, but she has no collar.
[ His voice gets quiet. ]
I will come up with a good name.
[ It's quiet, and the video just seems to rest on the cat for a few moments, before he settles on himself again. He still looks awkward as ever. He's trying to get a feel for the place, clearly - so this seems like a good question to ask. He speaks with more confidence, when he finally does. ]
I am putting together new remixes for next month at Element. What is your favorite song to dance to?

[ Even as he's speaking, Yuri is smiling and starting to unload some of the bags he bought, helping himself into the other's kitchen to get a spoon, so that he can open a can of food and scooping it into a bowl he had also bought for her. ]
You have water down for her? [ He assumed that Otabek did, but also knew that it couldn't hurt to ask. ] I'm really excited to meet her.
[ Beaming, Yuri gently set the food down on the floor in the kitchen, before shifting to follow after the other to meet her, gasping softly as he saw her curled up on the blankets on Otabek's bed. ] Oh man, she's so gorgeous Otabek! [ He cooed softly, approaching her with gentle body language, sitting on the bed just out of reach as she lifted her head, not wanting her to feel threatened or have to worry about his presence. ]
Hey pretty lady. [ He cooed softly, offering out his hand for her to smell, for her to approach, if she wanted to. ] Nice to meet you.

[ He also noted that she'd have to go to the vet soon. Make sure that she was up to date on her shots, and that she was healthy. He wanted to make sure that Tazaghul was well taken care of. She really was a beautiful cat. ]
I do.
[ He nods towards a plastic bowl that was settled on the floor. The water was fresh, although she had definitely had some of it off and on through the day. To be honest, he was looking forward to seeing Yuri interact with her.
Something was telling him that Yuri would be good with her, and immediately knew he was right. Yuri's body language shifted from what he was used to (no longer the soldier or the Russian Punk or whatever anyone wanted to call him), to something gentle and sweet. He melted a little, able to keep that internalized, at least.]
She is, isn't she?
[ He felt rather lucky to have her, and that she followed him of all people. She seems to perk at Yuri's presence, and seems still comfortable. After a few moments of checking him out, she stretches out, and starts to slowly make her way towards Yuri. ]
Good, Tazaghul. Yuri's very nice.
[ Otabek's voice is a coo, low and easy. She glances in the direction of the sound, a soft mew, and then closes the distance between herself and Yuri, settling on sniffing his hand, checking him out. ]
no subject
That's a good girl. [ He murmured softly, opening his palm and offering it to her, letting her sniff. Waiting for her to make the first move of bumping her head against his hand, or moving away. If she moved away, Yuri would be disappointed, but he wouldn't let it deter him from befriending her eventually. ] You probably smell my kitty on me, don't you? Petya. She's a sweet girl like you. Spoiled though. [ He chuckled softly, his features soft, all of his attention locked on the small cat before him. ]

Otabek looks pleased. He watches the scene unfold, and he's not surprised she takes a quick liking to Yuri. ]
She seems to like you.
[ He sounds happy. ]
She knows I do.
no subject
She's got a bit of flea dirt, under here. [ He didn't seem bothered by this, though. If she had been living outside for god only knew how long, it made sense that she would have picked up the pests along the way. Poor thing. ] I brought some treatment with me, so you can get it cleared up in a week or so. I bet that will feel so much better, won't it Tazaghul? [ He cooed to the small cat, stroking down her back and tenderly rubbing above her tail, trying to find the places where she liked best. ]
no subject
We'll get you all cleared up, Taza.
[ He seems motivated by the idea. She seems to be a fan of head scratches and pets, and encourages Yuri to proceed whenever she's touched there. ]
no subject
You picked a good home, little Taza. Otabek will take good care of you. [ He cooed, his voice soft- like he was talking to just her, even though he knew, obviously, that there was no way Otabek couldn't hear him. But nothing he said was untrue, of course. ] You're a very lucky girl. I promise.
no subject
I think she likes you a bit.
[ Otabek had to chime in a little. It doesn't surprise him. ]
no subject
I got you something- um. I mean, you know. I got a lot of somethings. But this- this is special.
[ Fishing into the pocket of his hoodie, Yuri drew out the small box that he'd put Taza's collar, and nameplate in. Offering it out to the other for him to take. ] Just in case she ever gets lost. So maybe someone can help her find her way home. [ He explained. ]
no subject
Thank you.
[ He pulls the collar from the box, and he leans a little onto the bed, gently working to place the collar on Taza - his cat. He scritches under her chin after he does, letting Yuri continue to get to know her. ]
If...she likes you even half as much as I do, I'd say you'd be doing well with her.
[ Ah... ]
