Hey look, two kitties.

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

[turns to look at him, trying not to spill too many snacks in the process.]

You know the other one?

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

Yea, I do. [keeps his phoenix wings as out of the way as possible]

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

He mentioned you a couple of times.

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

Did he really?

[veridic.livejournal.com]

...You won't be able to eat all of that, will you?

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

[nodnodnod.]

You're a phoenix, right?

[totally doesn't notice that cupcake that just rolled away.]

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

Of course I will.

[veridic.livejournal.com]

[blink]

Oh.

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

[some of the frosting is leaking through his shirt.]

You shouldn't accuse people like that.

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

Yup. [lets wings out a little bit more]

[veridic.livejournal.com]

[f-flinches]

I...I'm very sorry.

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

Can I touch them?

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[aaaand continues his sneaking.]

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

Go ahead.

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

[lifts his shirt up a little to let the food fall to the floor -- he can always pick it up later. a few moments later he's at Axel's side, running a hand through one of his wings.]

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

[they're very feathery and pretty soft]

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

[rubs his face against one of them.]

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

[l-laughs a little, but lets him]

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

[his voice is muffled.]

They're really soft...

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

Yea, I guess.

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

[huggin' ur wing now.]

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

[awww, cute kitty.]

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

I bet he really likes you.

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I wonder.

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

You should ask him.

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

We'll see.

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

I'll root for you.

[firewaterbird.livejournal.com]

Heh. Thanks, kid.

[halfbakedemo.livejournal.com]

[someone snatches him by the back of his shirt and pulls him back.]

You weren't thinking of eating that alone, were you?

[checkedcat.livejournal.com]

[someone else stumbles back, spilling all of his hard-won treats.]

What, of course n--

[breaks off and just. stares at the food.]
