Got something for you.

[Recovering from being disemboweled physically took about forty-five seconds. Recovering psychologically is taking a little bit longer. Cassel takes comfort in simple tasks and routines in the meantime, trying not to think about what happened with Creed or what happened in the Enclosure or what's going to happen next. There's this feeling like the other shoe is going to drop - not uncommon on the Barge, but not something he wants to deal with, either.]
[During the day, when he's not in the gym, he spends time in his room or in the common rooms with yarn in his lap, curled up in an armchair, knitting and purling on autopilot. He has no idea what he's making, which is usually how he goes about things. Eventually he casts off and picks it up, examining it in the light. It appears to be a tiny sweater with at least three arms.]
[He never said he was good at this.]
[At night, a lithe black cat roams the halls. To Cassel's credit, this time he's wearing a little blue collar with a name tag. On the other hand, it took him this long to come up with that, so maybe he's not so smart after all. He curls up on the backs of couches, winds between people's legs, and wanders into cabins behind their occupants, purring loudly and very insistently.]

slowly, so as not to spook the cat, beyond bends down, hand hesitantly outstretched. he isn't sure of the proper way to approach; he's a student of human behavior, not feline.]
Do you belong to someone?
[it must be true; the cat is wearing a collar, after all.]
spam.
[At the question, he bumps Beyond's hand up so he can look at him directly, meows again.]
spam.
May I? [he asks, content to pretend the cat understands, as he gently twists the collar around to inspect the tag.]
spam.

[beyond arches an eyebrow as he reads the tag aloud.]
I didn't know Cassel had a cat.
[of course, he doesn't actually know much about cassel in general, so.]
spam.
[At the sound of his name, Cassel yowls and headbutts Beyond's hand again.]

Is there something you want from me?
spam.
[He totally meant to do that.]

You're a very interesting cat.

[He rolls on his back, kicking his feet in the air.]

I certainly hope you're not an inmate.
[he reaches out, hesitant, to touch his front paws with the tip of his finger.]
spam.
[When Beyond touches his paw, Cassel curls his claws out, but very gently, so that they just barely scratch at his finger.]
spam.
[he doesn't mind the claws, though - they're delicate, like tiny fishing hooks, reeling him in.]
That's the reputation, I've heard.
spam.
[Also the cutest.]

You're too nice of a cat for a place like this.
