[ video, backdated to day after the party ]

[ There's a tiny kitty on the video screen. Oddly, it's a magenta kitty. How the hell did that happen?

Anyway, behind the kitty it looks like Battler and Ange's world... since Yuri was trying to get help from Ange after getting turned into a cat at the party when she decided that she was hungry and was going to snack on that special apple, so she not only ended up as a cat, she ended up in the wrong world and was presently trying to seek help by meowing very loudly and demandingly into none other than Battler's book. ]

Meow meow, meow! Meow, meow! Meooow...

[ Except it's a book and Yuri is a cat so she accidentally knocks it over and there is a flailing cat and the video goes wacked out for a quick minute while the pages get flipped and crinkled because Yuri keeps flailing all her paws to get it to move off of her. ]

[because bern is a fucking cat!!

Ah- he thinks the cat is about to leave him so he holds her a little tighter.]

Oi oi- relax, will you? I'm not about to drop you...

[Battler sighs, and he moves over to his grimoire. He closes it and sets it back on the table it had been on. He thinks for a moment, wondering what to even do with this animal... should he turn it over to Virgilia and go back to his room to think some more? No no- he's had enough of that for a while. Battler sits down on the ground, and he places the kitten down.]

...This is weird... maybe the community felt like I needed a kitten. [And he reaches out to scratch her head.] You're pretty cute though.

[ Yuri doesn't know that okay?!

Wow Battler, if Yuri were a real cat there definitely would've been some scratching for trying to hold on tighter when she looked ready to book it. Yuri makes a mental note to never get Battler around a real cat because the thing would probably kill him.

Instead of fully utilizing the deadly weapons on the tips of her digits, Yuri puts a paw on his chest and just lets it rest there. The last thing she needed was Battler thinking that this cat was some kind of an enemy and getting tossed off to the nearest person who wasn't himself or Ange. It'd probably be easier for her if she had, but... Even as she considered that, Battler started talking about the community thinking he needed a kitten.

Being around him made her feel.. hurt, guilty, like a failure. But... if Battler needed it, she didn't mind just letting him pet her like this for a while. It might not fix anything, but if it'll help him feel just a tiny bit better it might be okay. Might be. It's not like anyone would know anyway, and Battler was probably still avoiding her posts since she wasn't calling him out or anything. She knew he wasn't on the community right now anyway, she'd been on his grimoire. So there was no way he would know. Maybe she could get to her post before he checked it and just... lock it from him, so he wouldn't have to know.

Then he could just take comfort in a kitten being sent over to provide him with fluffy goodness to try to make him feel better, rather than chance combined with a very bad apple. ]

[Too bad Battler doesn't know anything about those feelings, so when he puts her down on the ground, he looks at her with a smile. Yeah, he definitely has no idea this is even Yuri. She has the same... color fur as the girl though. Battler brings a hand up to his face, resting his cheek on his palm. He sighs a bit.]

Your color reminds me of someone... [definitely talking about Yuri- but he's still not really making that connection... or possibly, he doesn't want to. What the hell can he do with this cat? He was never a pet person back home....]

[ Yuri tilts her head back to stare up at Battler, unblinking. She knows that he's talking about her. She doesn't really want to go back to being hated, even if she knows that this is almost a lie right now. If she could tell him that she was Yuri, she would, so that makes it enough to be okay right?

Yuri reaches a paw up to start trying to grab at his tie.

For some reason that just seems really interesting right now, since she finally noticed it... Did he always have a tie? She definitely hadn't noticed before, not this much anyway. ]

[Huh-? This kitty wants his tie? Battler leans back a bit, moving away from the cat so he can at least grab at his tie. He loosens it at his collar, and then slides it off of him. There, he's now holding up his tie in front of the kitty, dangling it in front of her.]

You want this? ...Maybe I should find some yarn around here, I bet you anything Bern has something like that lying around.

[dangle dangle goes the tie, trying to get the kitty to play.]

[ Fuck playing. This kitty is getting that tie. Yuri backs up a little bit, building a spring in her hind legs by lifting her butt up in the air a little bit, then taking a flying claws-out leap at that tie. THIS ISN'T PLAYING THIS IS WAR. THAT TIE WILL BE YURI'S. ]

[AH he pulls it up at the last second and she can't grab at it 8) ]

Ihihi~! Ahh.. yeah- you're really cute.

[a pause... he keeps on dangling that tie.]

You know little kitty, since you remind me of her- I'll tell you something... I bet you can keep a secret. Let's say I know this girl- ....and... I messed up pretty badly with her... I mean she ticked me off but-... that's not the point.

Point is, I don't think I'll be able to get that friendship back... [a slight sigh escapes his lips.] Even though it wasn't even friendship on my end at all- and I still really like her...

[ Oh hell no. Yuri sees this TRICKERY and stares up at him, getting ready to leap again-- this time for his hand though, since she will end him for that one.

Except she doesn't leap. As he begins speaking of her, the kitten in question seems to lose interest in the tie. Even after everything, she didn't know how he could still want to get her friendship back. He wasn't the one who had messed things up, she was. She knew that. The things he said to her.. those were things to apologize for, not for being at fault.

She didn't want to play a martyr or anything, she didn't want to accept all the pain and most of it.. she was pretty sure she didn't deserve. But it was never Battler who had started this, it had been her and even if all of this stuff hurt like hell, there was no way she would take it back.

The magenta cat moved closer to Battler, ignoring the tie now and getting up on her hind legs so that she could put both paws on his abdomen. She wasn't exactly a big cat, so it's not like she could really reach a giant like Battler's face, but she could easily press her forehead against his chest, nuzzling.

Meowing loudly wasn't going to be comforting at all, so even if doing something like this was embarrassing, as long as no one ever found out... it was fine right? It's not like she hadn't hugged anyone before, even if the other times it had almost always been her getting the comfort. Battler was the only one she'd given comfort to herself, really. This would make it twice for him.

At least having a cat had its benefits. Being able to hear that he didn't completely hate her.. somehow, that made her feel a little better. Even if only a little. ]

[Well it's all true, he still really likes her- has pretty strong feelings for her, but he messed up, and so did she. He was more or less referring to when he told her to disappear, he hadn't meant that... at least after he settled down later and thought about it. It haunted him too.

Battler looked down at the kitty- nuzzling him. Strange, it was almost like the damn thing understood him. In any case, he pet the kitty, scratching at her head and then running his hand along her back.]

Oho- I'm getting some comfort from a cat huh? At least someone is... sure, Ange was there for me too, and I tried to talk with Dead Master about this but... oh well.

[ What? Ange and Dead Master didn't count as comfort enough but a strange cat did? Yuri briefly wondered if.. even if Battler was dumb enough to not be able to figure out that a cat trying to use his grimoire, the place he had access to the community though, maybe a part of him... knew it. Deep down.

That was silly though, wasn't it?

Yuri began to purr at the petting. The second she realized she was purring she jumped down from his chest and darted around to the other side of his leg. She couldn't control this damn purring reflex, so even if she was trying to comfort him it still... was too embarrassing to just sit there and let it happen. She'd stay by his side, but over by his leg for the moment and just... rub her head against his leg for now. ]

[Yeah... a part of him knew who this cat was. It was only obvious since her color was so damn similar to Yuri. Even so, he'll go on pretending he has no clue whatsoever. Ange and Dead Master helped a bit, but he was still feeling pretty bad over everything.

Battler stands up, and then he reaches down and picks up the cat.]

Ihihi... want some milk? We need to go on a journey through the mansion to get there.

[lalala walking through the mansion now.]

[ Up again! Geez, what is it with him and picking her up!? Yuri gets picked up again, but she doesn't feel like being carried right now, so this is going to result in more kitty flailing until he either drops her or manages to calm her down!

Though milk does sound good. ]

[Whoa whoa cat! He brings her up and in front of his face...!!]

Hey, this is just to get there faster! Unless you want to race me or something you little devil.

[ Paw on his nose.

Yup, just a paw on his nose in response to that. It's just. Stayin' there. Because fuck you she's a cat she does what she wants.

..She does what she wants anyway, really the fur is the only difference.

Though racing does sound kind of fun. Except she doesn't know where the hell the kitchen is so she'd lose automatically. ]

[narrows his eyes slightly...]

I don't know what that means, unless you want to ride on my shoulder or something...

[ Actually she doesn't care where she rides, she's probably just enjoying screwing with Battler at this point. She puts her other paw on his cheek now, making sure that only the soft pads touch his skin and not her claws. ]

[he sighs, and then goes back to carrying her like he had before, where she's right near his chest.]

I wish you could talk...

[and still walking. he heads down the stairs towards the main entrance-way, and now he's heading towards the kitchen. Lala, more doors and hallways, this place is way too huge. Finally he reaches the kitchen and sets her down on the ground.]

[ No you don't. Someone would end up hurt here if they did. That's what Yuri was pretty sure of, given their current standing. Probably her since she really didn't have the advantage here and wasn't fighting back against most of what he said anyway.

Yuri just stays where she is against his chest while she's being carried, listening to his heartbeat with her head pressed against his chest. It was stupid, but she couldn't help but want to listen. Cat ears were more sensitive than human ears, after all, it just.. made her want to find out. Yeah.

Once she was down though, Yuri took a few steps away from him and made a leap for the counter. Cat or not, she was going to get up on the counter. ]

[okay, while that cat is preoccupid with getting up on the counter- Battler goes to the fridge, opening it up and grabbing the milk. Soon enough he finds himself a bowl and he pours some of that milk into the bowl.]

Jeez... I never thought I'd be giving a kitten some milk. [He turned around and put the milk back in the fridge.]

[ Yuri takes a stretch while Battler gets the milk. Wow, cat stretches felt good. Very relaxing. Maybe it's time for a nap--

wait.

Back on track, getting milk here. Yuri straightens up and takes a few steps toward the bowl and leans down to sniff it. You know, have to make sure this is legit stuff here, nothing weird. ]

[It's not weird!!! Battler places both his elbows on the counter and watches her.]

It's not like it's poisoned or anything.

[ Everything Battler does is weird, she has to check. ]

Meomomownom.

[ Okay she's gonna lick some of it. For a few seconds. Then it's another paw on the nose for Battler STOP WATCHING HER EAT. Rude. ]

[Rolls his eyes and then moves away. Fine fine-... he's going to rummage around in the pantry for something to eat himself.]

Maybe there's some snacks here... I don't normally eat though, since time doesn't move I don't get hungry... but.... Ronove like to feed me cookies...

[she already knew that but- whatevs.]

[ Okay once she's not being watched she goes back to drinking this milk. ~~Yuri loves to drink all of Battler's milk.~~

She already knew about the cookies, so she didn't mewl at that or anything. No, instead, Yuri kept drinking the milk for a bit. She wouldn't finish the bowl, but she definitely made quite a dent in it before she decided she was done and laid down next to the bowl. It was her turn to watch Battler. ]

[WOW STOP

He's rummaging around-... and then he stops and looks down at his wardrobe. He forgot he had tossed that tie aside when he was playing with her, and his collar was open more so. He frowned for a second, and then he just went with removing that light colored jacket of his, placing it on the counter where the kitty was laying down.]

A whole goddamn mansion, and you think they could spare some snacks? ...Well, I guess Gohda-san is the one who cooks everything around here.
