[It's very, very early morning when the video flicks on. Displaying someone who really should still have been asleep. But he's smiling, and pans the camera over to where one of the purple alien cats has apparently, in true cat fashion, decided Shiro's bedroll is its new bed, and no one else's.]

Finally got him to stick around long enough for a nap. [He's speaking in an undertone, and fondly, too.] He'll probably wander off after he wakes up, but...

Maybe we can get him to help with the hunting around here.

[A pause.] At least, I've been calling him... him.

The answer is still no.

It's not hurting anything. So no. We're not going to needlessly kill an animal.

text

[inconsequence]

It would not be needless. I'm sure it's plenty edible.

text

[shiro2hero]

You don't EAT cats.

text

[inconsequence]

Given the shade of its coat, I am not sure we can presume to label it as such.

text

[shiro2hero]

Then it's a "space cat".

[...he's just as bad as Asgore, honestly.]

How very creative of you.

[shiro2hero]

Hey if we can have space mice.

text

[inconsequence]

We have space mice.

[It is a question, if a flat one.]

text

[shiro2hero]

We have space thistle. So why not?

[Just gonna. Casually omit the fact there are indeed space mice around. In case whoever this is decides to try and eat them too.]

text

[inconsequence]

[Come, now. What do you take them for?]

Taken to naming the flora too, have you?

text

[shiro2hero]

[SOMEONE WHO SUGGESTS EATING CATS.......]

Well. Someone had to.

text

[inconsequence]

[The crowd goes wild!]

And I am sure there will be no confusion at all should you discover a second species of thistle. Or, heaven forbid it, a third.

text

[shiro2hero]

That's when I leave naming things to scientists.

It's not that big of a deal.

text

[inconsequence]

And only then? You little rebel you, overstepping the boundaries of the botanist community. What must they all think of you and your highly unconventional methods of naming this valued plant, spatio carduus?

text

[shiro2hero]

Wow. You're... really hung up on this 'space noun' thing.

You know it's not entirely serious, right?

text

[inconsequence]

It is not as if you have offered any alternative.

text

[shiro2hero]

How about, let it go?

text

[inconsequence]

An unconventional title, I will grant you that. But all in all too likely to be shouted in the face of your new feline, should it be teething and hungry.

text

[shiro2hero]

If he didn't do that on day one, I doubt it's going to happen any time soon.

[Also if it comes to that, there's always the metal arm to offer it.]

text

[inconsequence]

One can always hope.

text

[shiro2hero]

I'll be fine.

text

[inconsequence]

I wasn't asking, but I hear it helps to reassure yourself of these things.

text

[shiro2hero]

Is there a point to this? Or did you just drop by to be pessimistic and cryptic?
