England wedged his phone between cheek and shoulder, before leaning down to gently pull the offender in question away, which only moved the kitten's interest from his foot to his hands, much to his chagrin. Nips and swipes ensued.

"I've got a cat—well, not much of a cat, a kitten—that won't leave me alone. Would you like one?" He joked.

A regular day evaded him yet again. Instead, England's tense fingers scrolled through the list of contacts on his phone. Meanwhile, the beast roped itself around his ankle, needle-fine claws sinking into socks, pinching his skin. He shooed it, thoughts entangled in his search, until—a-ha!—he found someone to save him from his newfound nightmare.

He pressed his phone to ear. Waited. A scratchy, high-pitched mew would not pull any heartstrings today, not after knocking over his favourite houseplant. He grimaced, recalling the resulting mess. Then: a beep. The call connected.

England blurted first: "You know about cats, don't you?"

As much as Sealand found his predicament amusing, England found this no laughing matter, especially with a too-many-clawed beast tearing into his ankle at the moment. He leaned down and picked her up by the scruff of her neck, shooting her a disapproving look. Her blue eyes were all innocence. He set her back down. No matter.

"I did. I packed her a bag and everything," he replied, dry as ever, "She won't stop yelling 'til I let her back inside. I think she's claimed the place whether I like it or not."

"Right," England managed, tense, chin to chest as he stared down at the furry-yet-infernal little thing that gnawed now at the leg of his trousers. He shifted the phone to his other shoulder, "Peter. Catologist. How does one, ah, hypothetically handle a stray kitten that refuses to leave?"

Bentley barked from across the room, tail a blur behind him. For once, the dog kept a healthy distance. Scared, probably. Not that England blamed him.
