Thor and kittens. Let the madness of adorables ensue. :)

[hamm3rtime]

[Thor enters, carrying a large, cushioned pet carrier which appears to be mewling. In his other hand is a sack with a plethora of items. He sets the pet carrier down on the floor first, only opening its door when he has removed kitten feed from the sack and filled five puny glass bowls with it. The kittens, black shorthairs all, go for the food immediately, though some attempt to move around their bowls, fending off their food from each other.]

[He seems to consider the fuzzies toddling about on the floor, as he asks a query of his mundane.]

You are sure, mun, that Lokis will be drawn here? This is an odd method, for contacting him.

[The kittens, now done with their meal, are a handful, and Thor has to work to get them all back into the carrier. Some attempt to scale his shirt instead. He lets them do so, as he gets the more energetic ones back into their carrier first.]

I shall hope it works, for it would do well, to have good news in this time.

What would I do with a kitten, Thor? I'm not often anywhere for long these days. I have... things to do, relatively often.

[He sighs, because Thor was clearly trying. And also, because he genuinely does like cats, tiny bundles of mischief that they are. He watches the cat returning to the carrier, trying to avoid looking wistful in the slightest.]

It was... a nice idea, however.

[hamm3rtime]

Your alternate suggested it, [Thor responded.] I would see them go only to Lokis who want them, fear not.

What keeps you busy?

[realitywarped]

Oh, nothing you should need to concern yourself with. Keeping up with the reformation process, as it were. Tidying up the odd mess, here and there, and some of them are even not mine to begin with.

[His work for the All-Mother is still a secret, after all, and one he's fairly sure Thor would cause a rather large fuss over if he knew about it. So, time to change the topic.]

Why are you collecting Lokis, anyway?

[hamm3rtime]

[While Thor had no idea as to what 'the reformation process' was, it sounded like perhaps Loki was dealing with his own troubles? Perhaps fixing old grievances? Thor smiled, endeared and proud of his little brother.]

Another alternate of my brother, suggested that himself and the version of Loki from my home, might benefit from keeping felines as pets. ...That it might make them happy.

[His tone becomes a little more cheerful, then.] And I wondered how many Lokis I could bring such enjoyment to. I knew that not all of them would be the same. Not all would want a pet, nor should all versions be entrusted with one. But any remaining kittens will then find homes amongst my friends.

[Loki just looks at Thor for a second, silently, because seriously. Why is Loki's happiness a concern to someone whose life someone very much like him has made absolutely miserable? It just makes no sense, really.

Then he smiles back, crookedly, because he still can't remember why he ever thought hating his brother was a good idea, and sometimes Thor really is not that bad as older brothers go.]

...I suppose the therapeutic benefits of pets has been studied by humans before. And I sincerely wish you all the best in this plan of yours, although I doubt how much good it will do.

If you do fail to find homes for all the cats, I'm sure I can find somewhere to place one.

[...He has acquaintances these days, after all.]

[hamm3rtime]

I shall contact you, if I have trouble. [Thor beams, proud of himself for getting that look from a Loki. Clearly, this is one of those times that he has done something correctly.]

I expect none, yet you have my thanks, brother.
