BLACK CAT
[un: gatto]
(note: cat is unfamiliar with this level of technology/accessible communication, and icly takes a bit of time to respond.)
(for action, he lives in a smaller than
average hill house.)

I think he would accept anyone that showers him with affection, yes. To a degree.
[How to best explain this to him... If only the thoughts would come a little easier through the fever fog.]
He doesn't think much of himself. You must know that about him already. Even if he thought the world of you--and especially in that case, wouldn't he choose something lesser for himself? Something not even human, to save you for someone he imagines is more worthy?

...He doesn't like that, nor does he like that he doesn't like that. Stray cats aren't supposed to care about these things, and even when he'd found Fox, it was hard to consider himself as anything but. She was the one navigating situations through diplomacy and flirtations when she had to. Maybe if he'd paid more attention to how she did it, he wouldn't have tripped into this situation at all -- it wouldn't feel so personal. Maybe it would be...fine that Inigo wasn't likely to be as picky as him, even if they were each as starved for love and attention as the other.
And just who else is supposed to be --
...Another face, just as earnest and kind, appears in Cat's mind, and he quickly glances away as if Blue would be able to see it reflected in his clouded eyes. That one was probably sure to be too picky to take Cat's affections for what they were. But really, they would suit each other, he thinks, far more than either settling for Cat, even if he could imagine sincere praises from them. And -- Inigo did share his vulnerabilities with Cat, and not just his companionship! Surely that meant something more than nothing, right...?]
Fine! I'll have a talk with him. See where his head's at about it. [Whether she's looking at him or not he can't really tell, but he waggles an accusing finger at her all the same.] But no pitting me against any puppets over him just to get them out of your hair! I had enough of that in Krat, minus the romantic nonsense.

[The idea that she would pit him against someone like that is laughable, though.]
She won't hear your name from my lips. And if she dares to come within fifty meters of you, I'll melt her hardware myself.
[She might do it anyway. For fun.]
[Or she might tease Cat a little more, so long as she's trapped in this makeshift infirmary. After a moment's pause, she adds:]
...Is he a good kisser, at least?

Look at that! Time for some medicine, isn't it?
[The clock is too far away for him to check, and he certainly can't see it well enough. But yep, it's definitely time. He's just gonna go rustle around in his kitchen area, which isn't as far away from the couch as he would like, in this very moment!]
no subject
[She exhales her fondness with another sigh, for the young man now busying himself in his kitchen.]
More seriously... If you do need any further advice, you can always ask me. I promise to tease you only a little.
