[Zel's at the bonfire by the shitty bar, drinking a shitty beer and staring into the flames. The kitten's there too, entertaining itself by scratching at some of the wooden seating.]
... We found the answer, yeah.
Left a bitter taste, though...

I'd suggest drinking, but it never really helps, either.
[and yet, he's still doing it.]

Here we are, after all...
Wonder if this is going to be the pattern from now on. A murder every week...

I'm not exactly worried about getting killed by anyone here...
... but I'm not used to being so powerless to do anything about the violence happening around me.

[Zel will get comfy with the idea of being invulnerable and then next week mods will unveil an island specifically tailored for killing him. The Island Of Very Deep Swimming Pools. Rock-Cutting Lasers Island. Goron Island.]
... Guess so.
[He gives the kitten a long, thoughtful look.]
...... Not that it's likely to happen, but... if anything happens to me, see that that one ends up somewhere safe.

[Hey Rynlan, you might find Zelgadis at the aquarium! He's leaning against a wall like a cool anime character while the Blue Eyes Black Kitten is up on a ledge by a large tank, staring in fascination as a school of fish passes by. When one little fish draws near, it paws at the glass and attempts to give chase, before giving up once it drifts away from the glass.
Apparently, this is the easiest way in the world to entertain a kitten with absolutely no effort. He'll take it.
Zelgadis glances over at Rynlan and gives a nod in greeting.]

[A nod. Then a peculiar look at the siamese...]
Wait. Where did that one come from?
[we keep finding so many cats.]

[He considers it, and nods.]
I see. I also received something last week. I must have gotten something wrong this time around.

[a nod. true that.]
It doesn't matter, anyway. I don't have any possessions I'm missing. Or... pets.

[he shifts a little awkwardly at that.]
... Yeah.
That's... kind of what I got last week.
... Yeah.

...It's fine.
I just... never got to find out if she made it out alive. After I died.
