[and that prompts an actual laugh, which surprises him, because it's been a long, long time since he did that at all. so he brushes a feather-light kiss against her cheek and smiles.]
Seems like you and me are almost of the same opinion, sometimes I tell mine there's some things she's better off not knowing, she doesn't ever believe me though.
You'll have to explain 'cats', though. [for a moment, the languid stubbornness fades into something of a child's curiosity.] I don't have a reference for that.
Pfft, you'd get lost, Wikipedia is worse than TV Tropes for that. Go in to look at one thing and never, ever leave.
I like to think they're mine as well. They're loyal, in their own way, but they don't tend to mind being left to their own devices either, they know they can look after themselves.
You probably shouldn't tell me about these places.~
Sensible creatures. They... don't sound as though they make friends easily. [there's meaning under that, but it's tentative; he's still working through it.]
Eh, as long as you've got someone to pull you back before you get too mired I think you'll be alright. Or as long as you keep your own stranglehold on reality. Harder for some of us than others, I know, but still.
Not really, no. Not besides the one the mun made up, but I'm ... kind of the only one in it? I mean, there's supposed to be others, but she can't play us all herself, so I kind of just have to wedge in where I can.
I'm going to keep up the air of mystery for a little longer -- not sure the mun is ready and some of the others in here are jealous. But we probably met in Arjia. A long time ago for you, wasn't it?
..yes. [a shallow breath, still trying to take in the magnitude of what had happened to them both and what they had so narrowly (and somewhat arbitrarily) escaped.] That will be good.

I think I'll ask you someday. How you lived.

Whenever you are ready, I would be glad to answer.

Thank you.

*Nope. Bottling and ignoring things doesn't work.
And then suddenly she is grinning, and leaning up - to kiss the tip of his nose. Just because she can*

Domestic animals, there's a saying that goes 'Ancient Egyptians worshiped cats as gods, the cats haven't forgotten this.'
Which is to say: they do what they want, when they want to do it, and on their own terms.

Just tell your mun your name, okay? Maybe then you can go be mysterious at more people.
