((For Silver))

[1stmacleod]

Kairos is very nice, and he's glad of the place to stay, but after five years of wandering Connor gets restless easily. His nightmares are back, if not as bad as they used to be, so he's restless and tired, which isn't a good combination. Teaching and sparring with Jelani helps occupy his time, though, and so does cooking for Kairos. He still has too much spare time, so he sits on the fringes of the Nexus, and watches, and puts off going home to his own world.

"...Definitely the first one, but I have a better place to sleep now, than I did." He smiles weakly. "But there's a couple of dogs there. Little ones."

[random_xtras]

"I don't know if dogs would be as good. They don't purr, right?" She tosses her hair out of her eyes and absently puts one foot on the ball.

"They don't purr, and they don't even come up on the bed. Not my bed, anyway. They're not my dogs." He watches the ball, ready, but also willing to talk.

[random_xtras]

"Ohhhh. But you don't take naps in beds." The ball gets rolled around a bit, though Silver's eyes are still turned intently to Connor's face.

"Yeah? Where are you supposed to take them instead?" He has a permanently weary look about him, but talking with her has definitely brightened his mood.

"In sunbeams." She holds out her hands in a 'how could you not know this?' gesture.

"Ohh... the dogs take those." He grins a little. "But the next time I see one..."

"You're bigger than them," she reminds him seriously. "It's not like when Kitty decides I'm a pillow, and I get stuck."

One eyebrow rises. "Kitty is bigger than you are?" Because he's still picturing a housecat, poor deluded man. As opposed to a panther with tentacles. Is he about to get another Nexus lesson?

[random_xtras]

Empathetic nodding.

"Kitty's bigger than everybody in the village, I think. Except maybe the chocobos, but they don't like her. She picks me up by the back of my dress sometimes, and then uses her two front legs and her tentacles to hug me so she can chew on my hair."

He blinks, and stares a little. "That... doesn't sound like any kind of kitty I've ever seen."

[random_xtras]

"Displacer beasts are good at hiding." She looks down at the ball, and then makes a little feint with it.

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"So maybe that's why I've never seen one?" Kitty. Beast. He's getting the vague idea, and he's pretty sure he doesn't want to meet kitty at the dark end of an alley. When she feints he shuffles lightly, agile on his feet.
