Hmf. This is typical of you, you know. I've got better things to do with my time than indulge another one of your passing whims.

But I admit, it might be interesting. Hei is there, after all.

[There is a distinct laugh in his voice. Guess what, Hei? He knows.]

[ a plate crashes and "Li's" slack jaw face turns to face Mao ]

Uh... Typical of what?

[ eheh... Mao. You're being completely obvious in this place. Have a care of who might be listening! ]

[unflagging]

Here, kitty kitty kitty kitty...

[ ... ... ... ]

[maoser]

[A twitch at the tip of his tail and forward turned ears are the only sign that Mao is suddenly deeply, deeply suspicious.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Nevermind the blown cover. The normal rules don't seem to apply here (which is itself a bizarre concept.) It's wiser to move on to damage control. ]

Define 'interesting'?

[maoser]

You certainly like them young, don't you?

[fufufu]

[maoser]

[He scratches his ear, without a care in the world.]

Typical of my mun. Somebody mentions they want a castmate, and she picks him up. Even if she doesn't know the canon.

[He gives you a sideways look, Hei. You're not the one he was expecting. This makes it even more interesting.]

[ Head asplode. ]

[mortemscintilla]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[ DENY DENY DENY. ]

[unflagging]

Here kitty kitty. Nice kitty.

[maoser]

Mraaaaaaaow.

[A warning sound.]

[unflagging]

Now there's no call to insult my mother like that, kitty-kitty.

[maoser]

I've met a very interesting young lady. She seems to know you quite well.

[His eyes narrow in a way that somehow conveys both amusement and annoyance.]

[maoser]

[Backing away slowly, hackles raised]

[unflagging]

All right, if that's how you want it.

[maoser]

[Really? It's that easy?]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Operation: Glare Cat Into Spontaneous Combustion via Psychokinetic Mayhem. ]

[ Unsuccessful. ]

She must have me confused with someone else.

[unflagging]

[No, not really.

He's just crouched there on the ground. Smiling away.]

[maoser]

No, I don't think she could make that mistake.

[If he were human, he would be waggling his eyebrows suggestively.

Then the amusement is gone, replaced with cool detachment.]

It's unlike you to get so involved.

[maoser]

[Mao is a Contractor, and Contractors always make cold, rational decisions. He makes the only logical decision.

He turns and leaves, his ears turned back to keep an ear on the stranger's movements.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Priorities shift with circumstance and environment. Hei -- any Contractor -- survives by adapting. But ... Involved? The word is all about strings and tonnage. Hei refuses to take it that far. ]

And it's exactly like you to not mind your own business.

[ Ignore the tetchiness, Mao. It's his code for Nice to see you again. ]

[maoser]

[Mao has known you too long, Hei. As far as he's concerned, you're a sentimental fool. But that's what makes you interesting.]

One of the nice things about being a cat. We don't have to worry about such things until the spring.

[bottomless_pit]

[ Ah yes. Mao's ever constant problem with fleas. Play nice, and he may fetch more medicine. ]

Ah, that malady. [ Li's face crinkles up in a smile ] It happens quite often around here, or so I've heard. [ he tilts his head every so slightly ] Are you really going there?

[ he's heard things before. April is not always discreet when she's had her drink. ]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Sentimental? They're headed in risky territory. Time to bang a U-ie. ]

There's plenty of other things you should worry about.

[ Especially in the City. Especially if you're a cat. ]

[maoser]

Saa, who knows? Two days ago, she was watching Community to pick up Britta, and for the past week she's had trouble tagging with anyone but Korra. The logical decision would be no. But she doesn't always make logical decisions.
