[ Leo sighs. Having people check in with him is kind of exhausting sometimes ]

No, it’s fine. You’re fine. Sorry. I’m just… a little on edge, I guess.

[ as an afterthought, he adds: ]

You can come in, if you want.

[maskreant]

[ You just have to deal with it when you have people that care for you, Leo. Akira looks surprised, but loosens up when things have been tempered. With a small nod, he goes ahead and enters, bowing his head politely as he lingers by the entryway. ]

Thank you. [ He takes off his shoes, too. ] Do you mind cats?

[ This isn't a trick question or anything. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ what ]

No.

[ He eyes Akira suspiciously for a moment. ]

You didn’t sneak a cat out of the cafe, did you?

[maskreant]

That isn't legal, Leo?

[ He gives him a weird look, but then there's a meow that comes out of his bag. ]

My cat just likes hitching a ride with me.

[ If he checks the back of the bag, there's a little cat head poking out, squinting at this new place. Morrigan has never been here before. ]

[ snorts ]

You’re talking to a suspect in an ongoing murder investigation, remember? Stealing cats from a cafe is nothing.

It seriously likes riding in there?

[ that doesn’t look comfortable, but… cats. ]

[maskreant]

Stealing cats from a cat cafe is a sin, but I can't imagine you kidnapping one or being the culprit of those deaths.

[ Lowering his back, he unzips it so Morrigan can hop out and just... Look around, then meow at Leo and pat his foot. ]

He does. A lot cats like trying to fit themselves into small spaces—then they get stuck. [ Hmm. ] I found Morrigan in a pipe once when he was a stray.

[ As an example. ]
