... Thanks.
[He'll head off to go shower and change his clothes, then.]

[A little while after the announcement, Zelgadis is at McNaldo's, apparently gathering some food into a paper bag with a big happy face on it. His clothes look clean again! No more rips, either.
From somewhere out of view, a tiny voice can be heard going mew! mew! mew!]
Stop.
[It does not stop. He finishes packing the bag and turns to go... when he sees Rynlan. He just sighs by way of greeting.]

Yeah. Good thing it's not too picky.
[If the insistent mews are any indication, it seems very eager. On closer inspection, it would appear the kitten is burrowed in his cloak, as there's a wriggling lump over his shoulder.
He notices that body language, though.]
... You all right?

[lifehack: just cover your whole face and body and then nobody has to know your emotions!]
... Never really doubted it would come to this. This is Hell. A lot of us were already killers to begin with.

[He's quiet for a few moments.]
Did you speak with her much?

... I see.
[too bad this guy has no idea how to comfort people. there's a silence while he thinks of what to say to that.]
... Make sure you get something to eat while you're here. You'll need your strength tomorrow.

Good.
[As if realizing it's being ignored, the kitten starts wriggling and mewing again.]
... Guess I should deal with this.

[He thinks about it for a moment.]
... Sure. I was just going to take this back to the dorm.
[Might as well let the cat-lover who maybe needs some emotional healing tag along.]

[Off they go! Zelgadis grabs a plate from the dormitory kitchen, and in the common room, he sets it down on the floor. Then he pulls the kitten out from its hiding place and puts it down. It immediately resumes mewing at him.]
Yeah, yeah...
[He'll open up the takeout bag and pull out the fish part of a F*let o' F*sh.]
It's not exactly freshly-caught, but it's fish.

[Zelgadis sits too. He breaks up the breaded fish into smaller pieces, which he places on the plate. The kitten eagerly starts tearing at it.]
Don't know what I'll do with this little creature, honestly...

If it's so independent, why does it scratch at the door and make a mess of the room whenever I leave it alone for a while?
