Why did this felt so fucking fake? Huh? And why did it seemed like Snow was actually fucking moCKING HIm? Probably those smiling eyes that showed not even a tiny bit of fear or regret. Yes, most likely. Ughh… to think this pipsqueak would be able to read him enough to know he wouldn’t actually hurt him.

“It’s not my fault ok! I didn’t even knew the damned cafe was here… or I wouldn’t have showed up!” he shook his head from one side to the other in remorse “And stop laughing already! Or I’ll make you buy me dinner!” considering how much he could eat that was probably a much more real threat.

Snow wasn't scared of Hound. Really, how could he be, when all Snow would have to do is pick up a kitten to stay safe? Snow was trying his hardest ot be genuine though, he really was, but it was a little funny to him. That made Snow feel bad, really...

"Yes, yes, I see I see." He bit his lip to try and stop smiling so much. "Buy you dinner? You would eat enough for three of us." Considering Snow barely ate as it was, maybe it would be good to get him out and about in a place like that. "Are you sure you want to dine with a... Cat butler, though?" He started to laugh again. "I might meow at you..."

This sounded amazing! She could make some friends with cats and try to in a sense, ‘collect’ them all. It was starting to sound a lot like a game or something.

[Can we take pictures of the cats?]

Some animals didn’t like to have their picture taken, so maybe there was a rule against it at the café. She’d be a bit sad that she wouldn’t be able to document all of the cats that she’s befriended, but she would just have to do her best to remember every single cat that she comes across.

If she planned on visiting with Shugarl, she knew that she couldn’t count on him to remember any of the cats when he struggled to remember human faces. Though it was arguable that he didn’t find it ‘hard’ to remember faces, rather, he just didn’t care.

[I’ll come around early so I can give the cats lots of treats~]

She can become friends with them and pass the time playing with them and petting them! They wouldn’t mind if she didn’t speak to them and that’s what made it even better! She didn’t have to worry about signing to the cats, or writing down her thoughts on a notebook.

Snow thought for a second. He didn't know of any policy against it, so he nodded. "Yes, I believe you can. Some of them will pose for you once they realize that you are going to give them attention, and they will not leave you alone." He gave a light chuckle, remembering one of his favorate cats as he spoke.

"One of my favorite cats often bat at my apron to get my attention, and then rolls over on his back and beg for treats once he realizes he has my attention." Snow explained. "He would probably pose for you if you managed to catch his attention."

At her happy statement, he couldn't help but smile some more, nodding in agreement. If she did get there early, then the cats would really be on her, since they hadn't filled up their daily quota of treats anyways. "The cats would love to see you. They are really quite affectionate creatures."

      He had been having a stressful morning. To say that was the least of his worries was an understatement. His luck had taken a poor turn and now he was faced with a group of kids who had come in earlier to mess up the arrangement of his books! He had worked tirelessly all morning to get them fixed, and with the help of those who were there to check books out and to read he had gotten a handle on it– mostly. Now he was coming across the section Snow was in, wheeling an overloaded cart full of books in his direction while trying to check off a list in his own slow manner. 

      He let out a yelp when he found he almost crashed into the other male, golden eyes drawing wide as he jerked the cart to a stop and flinched when he heard a flurry of books tumble to the ground around them. He looked apologetic immediately, went down on his hands and knees to try to reorganize them back on the cart the way they should have been to make placing them back an easy task. 

        ❝I’m sorry about that! I was– there’s been some misconduct this morning. Kids these days don’t understand how much it takes to organize a library. ❞ He tried to explain, his tone as tired as he looked.  ❝If you need something, just let me know…!❞

Snow stared at the books that were in his hands, still marveling at just how messed up the books had been. Dog care books, in the marine section? What in the wor-

The white haired man jumped when he nearly got a cart in his side, mismatched eyes going wide with shock and fear as he looked up at the driver. Oh dear... He looked so tired. Snow crouched down to pick up the books as well, trying to keep them in the order that they fell in to try and maybe help him a bit.

"It is alright... I was wondering why there were odd books in this section of the library." Ah, so he was as stressed as he looked... The poor thing. "Is there a way that I could help you?" He didn't have anything else to do, really, and besides, anything to help out at a place he loved.

darkness-hound:

Yes… logically Hound understood that as well. That a kitty so small would do him no harm. But his body reacted faster, and he was always left trembling and curling in the floor. He really should find some way to get over this… eventually.

He heard Snow’s voice again, now telling him that it was gone and he slowly turned around. The cat was nowhere to be seen and Snow looked… normal. A blush showing on his face now that the ‘danger’ was gone and he acknowledged just how embarrassing the situation had been, Hound stood up on his own.

     “I wasn’t expecting you to see this… but now that you did…” he stopped before stepping forward once, silver eyes piercing down at the other.

     “You say even one fucking word about this to anyone, and you’re minced meat, got it?”

Snow couldn't help it, biting his lip as the smile grew a bit. "Yes, yes, of course, of course. I would not tell a soul, at least you can trust me with this." He covered his mouth, smiling bigger behind his hand. Poor, poor Hound. Snow was probably a horrible person for finding this adorable and cute, but he couldn't really help it! Really, who was scared of kittens?

He stared up at Hound with mischievous, mismatched eyes, still covering his mouth. "I did not expect to see you in front of a cat cafe, Hound. Here I thought maybe you had gotten over your fear... I was wrong." He stifled another laugh.

Oh… that wasn’t very fun when you thought about it. Though maybe they didn’t need to have dreams when they lived such free lives. They didn’t have society to bring them down or to judge them by. They had their own lives and their own goas, survival. They didn’t have to worry too much about unnecessary things like money, time management, jobs, etc.

     She didn’t know about the nature of turtles, so she didn’t know if they had the tendency to shun others for being different. It would be nice if they didn’t, because it could be hard to deal with that, other people, that is.

 [Yeah! They get to see all kinds of fun stuff! They are living the dream!]

     At the subject going to his job, she listened intently, very curious about this workplace of his. A cat café where people served you as servers, and the cats were essentially an extra. They were like little buddies who could give you company at café, it sounded like. She loved both cats and dogs alike, so this sounded like a dream place!

     She could even think of a certain older male who may find some interest in the café itself as he was quite fond of cats.

[I’d like to visit it one day! Can anyone walk in?]

     There wasn’t an age limit or anything, was there?

"There is not an age limit, as far as I know, so you are more then welcome to walk in whenever you please." Snow informed her, a little smile coming over his face. "Most of the cats are always eager to see new faces, and the shyer ones will warm up to you the more you visit."

Really, from the way he was describing it, it really did seem like something out of a dream, didn't it? Maybe that was what was so magical about it, and maybe it was a little sad that it was just now hitting him. He loved how excited she looked about the whole idea, though, so he couldn't help but continue.

"Also, there are treats you can buy to give to the cats. That way, you can become friends with a shyer one, or attract cats to your section of the cafe. We try not to sell too many, though, because we do not want to overfeed the cats, but if you get there early, there is sure to be some there for you to give to them."

Jupiter was quite the inquisitive soul, and that was perhaps to be expected given the people that she knew. She was surrounded by very intelligent people after all, whether it be the two brothers, or the other older brother figure that she had. Just like Shugarl, he was practically a genius as well!

     Most likely due to their influence, she just became a young girl who was not afraid to ask questions and she was always eager to learn something new.

[That’s a very long time! I guess if they don’t sleep, then they never get any dreams?]

     How sad—she loved having good dreams! It was always full of fun and it allowed you to explore fun new things!Though you’s suppose that if they were to fall asleep, then maybe it posed as more of a danger to their lives? Guess that would be the fair trade off, isn’t it?

     Tilting her head to the side, she hadn’t heard of a placed called ‘Whiskers’ before. What kind of place was it, she wondered? A cat café brought up an image of cats dressed up in cute outfits and they were maybe able to take your order and bring you things? How amazing if that were the case! Excuse her overactive childish thoughts. There was still something pretty childish about her and her thoughts.

[I’ve never heard of it before, but it sounds interesting! What do you do there?]

"I suppose they would not dream, now would they?" Snow frowned a little as he stared at the turtles. He had never really thought about that, but that made sense. "I think they get to see a lot of interesting things in the ocean to make up for it though, you know?" Now he was going to be curious about them and their dreaming habits... Hmm.

At her question of his line of work, he smiled, rubbing the back of his head. "Well, it is a like a cafe... I am one of the servers, so I take orders and bring them to the table. There are shelter cats that are allowed to roam all around the store, usually choosing to sit with customers. It is rather nice if one likes animals but do not have the time to take care of one."

She still seemed a little young, but her thoughts would have brought a smile to his face. Maybe he would see her in the cafe sometime? It was open to everyone, really. "The cats that roam the cafe are very nice, and usually love attention."

Snow checked his phone for the billionth time, adjusting the strap of his book bag. It was finally his off time... and that meant that he could go to the library and pick up new books. Sure, he could just look up this information on the internet... But he loved the smell of a good book, the feeling of paper under his fingers... Hmm.

He approached the library after making sure that this was the right place (duh, of course it was. He was just so, so damn anxious all of a sudden). He took his time getting inside and going to the section he needed, quietly tabbing through books.

"... I see..." He mumbled to himself, a little puzzled. It seemed like the books over in this section were all.. Messed up or something? Not in order for sure. He started taking books off, wondering why in the hell there were cooking books in the 'marine life' section.

mutedangeljupiter:

She watched the turtles swimming in the tanks for a little while longer, listening to Snow speak to her about them. Turtles were long living creatures so she could expect for them to be intelligent creatures. A lot of aquatic life was a lot smarter than you’d think them to be. Octopuses were very smart, in fact! She saw one solve a rubix cube once at a zoo back in the States!

[How do they sleep? Do they float in the sea? Do they find some rock to sleep on?]

     They didn’t have gills, right? If that was the case, how long could they hold their breath for? Were they going to be okay in the tank like they were? She didn’t know much about turtles so she was curious. Snow seemed to be rather knowledgeable about the subject, so maybe he’d be able to answer her questions? She could only hope that she wasn’t bothering him right now with all of her questions.

[Are turtles your favorite animal ever? I really like dogs and cats!]

     She couldn’t help asking him even more questions. She was a curious little thing and she wanted to know. Jupiter liked both cats and dogs, but she did have a preference for dogs over cats. They were just so loving and very friendly! There was one in particular that she was pretty fond of, in fact.

Snow actually really loved that the little girl was asking so many questions. This gave him the oppertunity to educate someone, which was always a really nice oppertunity. He looked at her once more, only to see that she had more questions. He offered another smile.

"Turtles can hold their breaths for a really long time, around seven hours or so." He smiled. "If they are sleeping, at least. They like to find some shelter, like maybe around some coral or an overhang, and then they go into a sort of... Dormant state." That was the best description he could come up with. "They do not sleep like we do, but they rest and it gives their bodies time to rest as well."

"As for your second question... Yes." Snow laughed. "I really love sea turtles, although I love all other kinds of turtles as well. Dogs and cats are rather cute, I actually work at Whiskers, a cat cafe. They all seem to like me... Have you ever heard of it?"

She would totally have to go there if she had never gone. Snow thought that Jupiter would really love the cats there!

Jupiter thought about Snow’s words curiously. So turtles liked them because they all looked different? She didn’t think that the humans felt the same way—to them, almost everything looked the same probably. Still, there were a lot of different animals out there and they were all so very cute!

[So we both have fun! We can enjoy the swimming turtles and they can enjoy the different humans! I wonder if they can recognize people?]

     She knew some animals like ravens could recognize faces, so maybe turtles could do the same? What if they had their favorite humans and would try to swim up to them? That would be cute! Maybe the turtle that ‘waved’ to her would remember her too~!

[It did! It waved it’s fin… or is it a flipper?]

     Tilting her head to the side, she confused herself. Was it a flipper? A fin? Maybe it was called something else entirely? As she was pondering this in her head, she looked up at the swimming turtles once more, watching as they all swam together. All these turtles of various sizes and colors.

[That one over there is cute! It’s swimming in circles!]

Snow watched the sweet turtles swim around for a bit, sighing happily. They were so sweet, and they were very adorable too. Snow was also happy to see that they were all so delighted in their tank. They must have been fed recently, to be this active. Snow glanced over at the little lady, and he shrugged.

"I actually am not sure. I know sea turtles are smart enough to return to the beach they hatched on, so... Maybe they do? I would not be surprised, they are rather intelligent creatures." Now that prompted him to try and figure out that question. He would have to get back to her about that. At her question, he glanced at a turtle, and smiled.

"I do know this one. I would call them flippers, since the arm is thicker then a fish fin." He informed her. "They are very friendly... That one is swimming in a circle." He looked back, only to see her having told him that already. He offered a little laugh and a nod. "But you saw that before I did, I see. They may have gotten fed already, or maybe they are expecting food soon. That may be why they are particularly active as well."

Considering Hound was not only on the floor, but he was quite literally shivering in place, it might be easy to assume that Hound, in the current moment, was very much ‘not alright’. With the kitten finally being taken away from his immediate proximity -someone taking it up in his arms- Hound lifted silver eyes to look at the person en question.

The first thing he saw were soothingly familiar hetero-chromic eyes. “Snow?” Just when he was about to let a sigh of relief, his eyes finally caught on the full figure in front of him. The silver hair… and the damn cat ears right on his head. And of course, the cat on his arms “Kyaaaaa!”

A girly scream? Yes probably. Regardless, Hound ended up curled on the ground, covering his head with both hands and shaking quite a bit.

Ah, the poor man was literally dying on the ground there. It was better when he had the cat in his arms, at least. Ah, Hound... He was pretty cute freaking out, as cruel as that was. Maybe it was because Snow knew that the cat wasn't going to hurt him.

"Yes, it is me..." He jumped when Hound screamed, and he took a step back. He put the cat inside, took off the ears, and soon came back, offering Hound a hand. "Hound... It is gone. It is alright now." He offered a little smile, trying not to snicker. That was downright cruel.

At some point Sora ended up crouched down in front of the cafe. It didn’t take long for a pair of legs to appear amidst the huddle of cats and once he realized they were there, Sora looked up curiously, hands on his knees. Ooh, there was someone waving at him, and a kitty too!

Smiling brightly up at the stranger, Sora waved back and hopped to his feet. Brushing off his pants he looked around for the entrance before making his way inside.

Wow it certainly was much noisier when he stepped inside and could actually hear the cats meowing. Seemingly realizing this was the boy that had been playing with them from outside the window, Sora found his feet soon covered by a myriad of cats meowing up at him.

Ohhh, sorry kitties but Sora didn’t have treats for all of you!

“Sora doesn’t have food, Sora is sorry kitties!”

He crouched down to scratch a couple behind their ears before remembering why he’d stepped inside. Immediately darting his gaze back up, Sora focused on the man that had waved at him.

“Hello mister!”

It was really sweet to see all of the cats enjoying themselves like this. The stranger was also rather sweet. All of the cats enjoyed his company, even if he was on the outside of the glass. PArt of him hoped that the man would come in, maainly because he knew that the poor cats were going to be sad if he didn't... And no one liked making kittens upset!

Snow watched as the boy came in, and he had to step back to let some of the cats move past him. There were a lot of cats at the cafe, and when business was slow, they would take all of the attention that they could possibly get. Now, it was all focused on Sora.

"Hello." Snow smiled at him, and he picked up a kitten that was mewing for attention. "... I have some treads, if you would like to give some to them."

@snowxnomad || pre-estab starter

Hands on his pockets, Hound was now enjoying a casual stroll down the streets of North Danon. Living in Ouvara and working in South Danon made him oddly unacquainted with the North side of Danon. It might have been more convenient to get a place around here, but he would be damned if he had to live in a place that didn’t fit his standards. And those standards were pretty damn high.

In any case, with just a job as a boucer he had time to spare and not much to distract himself with, so he found himself idly walking down one of many streets, trying to find something to entertain himself with.

   Miau

??

Hound blinked, really slowly, whole body frozen in fear and grey eyes turning around to the floor. it… couldn’t be, right? RIGHT?

But no, there it was. A kitten. White fur and menacing eyes staring right at him. Unaware of the presence of a cat cafe on his immediate side, Hound simply fell down to the floor with a squeak. Now this would be embarrassing if anyone was to see him. Especially if it was to be someone he knew.

Snow was oftentimes out in the front of the cafe, serving customers and watching the cats closely. He was responsible for making sure that none of the cats made the customers upset, and that they were being as lovable as cats could be. Sometimes, though, the cats managed to get outside, but thankfully they were usually just attracted to something for a few minutes before growing bored and wanting to come back inside. This was one of those cases.

Snow sighed, and he opened the door. He closed it carefully before turning and... Seeing a man on the ground. “Sir, are you...?” Wait... Wait, he knew this man. “Hound?” He got the kitten in his arms, and he blinked in confusion. 

“... Are you alright?”

Jupiter’s feet shuffled closer to the glass so she could get a closer look at the turtles. She was watching them all swim around in the water, wondering what it was like to live in the water like they did. Were they cold? Was it tiring to be swimming all the time? It wasn’t like turtled had things like cars to use to drive around in. The fact that all ocean life had to swim large distances to adapt to the changes in their environment due to the weather was amazing.

     It was also interesting to know that they could always come back to where they were born to lay their own eggs. Was it just instinct or could they really remember that?

     [You think so?]

     Staring at the turtles swimming about, some slowing down to look at the humans, she waved her hand at them, as if they understood what that movement meant. One turtle looked as though it waved back at her, but it may have just been a trick of the eyes. Eyes sparkling with excitement, she looked up at snow.

     [I think it waved back!]

     How exciting! She was practically vibrating with excitement.

Snow kept sparing glances over at the girl, making sure she could properly see the turtles. He was able to just watch these turtles endlessly, honestly, because they were so cute. They were even more adorable when he could volunteer and feed them, the way they got all excited and swam around even faster for food.

He nodded at her question after he had looked over. "I think so. I think they like humans, mainly because a lot of us look really different. We already look different from turtles... But then most every human looks different from one another. Nothing is quite the same, except maybe identical twins..."

That was kind of inspirational, huh? Everyone was their own person. It sounded as cheesy as it was true... Ugh, he was probably sounding like some weird sage dude. He let out a little laugh, and he looked back down at her when she caught his attention.

"... Did it?" Snow's eyes widened a little, and he looked back at the turtles. "See? I think they like you." He offered her a nice smile. "They are really sweet creatures."

Sasha turned around to the voice, soon finding himself charmed with the sight of an adorable cat resting on the waiter’s shoulders. It looked rather adorable. So cats here really were friendlier than strays! Amazing!

It took him a moment to get out of such thoughts and look at the one that was talking to him. Soft white hair, double colored eyes… it was a rather curious sight, so he looked down before his stare might get too awkward for the other.

      “Ah… hello”

Yes great, great talking skills. Now let’s try to say more than 2 words.

       “I don’t know… Either is fine”

Now graciously looking at the floor as he was, it was pretty impossible for Sasha to tell what the reaction of the waiter was.

Snow had simply blinked, watching the man as he waited for his answer. Ah... It was the cats that had drug him in, huh? Could that joke, 'Look what the cat dragged in' work here? He kept that to himself, although he had a smile on his face now.

"I suppose if you are only here for a cat... I can get you a booth. They love those seats the most." He grabbed a menu, and then he motioned for Sasha to follow him. Snow got him a nice booth, one of the cat's favorites. Once he set down the menu, the cat that was around his shoulders plopped itself down on the table.

"There we go, one down." He scratched the cat behind the ear.

Looking up at the swimming turtles, she could see that they were cute creatures. Maybe not as pretty as some others, and a lot of animals like cats were cute, but turtles had their own charm that made them cute. The baby turtles especially were very cute. 

      Ah, did she make him feel nervous about making her upset when she wasn’t??? The way her feet were trying to climb on top of the other grew faster, her mouth opening and closing but no sound was coming out. She was swaying from side to side as she turned her notebook towards her once again to write something else down. 

          [Oh no, i’m not upset at all! Sorry if I seem so! >_<;;;;;; I like turtles too! I think all animals are really nice! Can I come closer? Is that okay?]

      They couldn’t talk just like her, but they could still somehow communicate with each other, wasn’t that cool? If only humans could communicate without sound too, then maybe it would be easier on her and she wouldn’t get all those odd stares. 

      She looked a bit past him at the glass that was holding all of the aquatic life. Would it be okay if she moved closer? Was that allowed of her?

Mismatched eyes took care to read the words on her notepad, and he nodded slowly. "Alright... It is alright. I just tend to apologize a lot." He offered her a nice smile, and then turned his attention back to the tank of turtles. "Come closer, that is fine with me. I want you to be able to come and see them too."

He made sure that she could come up to the glass as well, and he kept himself from putting a hand on the glass. They were just so cute...! He knew how much of a hassle it was to keep the glass all clean, however, so he refrained.

"They are really pretty and majestic creatures." He offered, feeling a need to say something in order to not make this girl scared of him. “I think they like seeing people

She happened to see someone staring up at the turtles and they looked so mesmerized by them. Quite frankly, she was very curious as to what it was that he found so wonderful about them. Not that she thought it stupid or weird! Not at all! It’s just that, she knew some people who would look at certain things the same way like the way Ponsol would look at plants (Matilda especially), or Shugarl difficult math problems. 

      Ah! She made him think that he was in her way, when she was the one who got close up to him out of curiosity! He didn’t have to apologize at all!

      With small gasping sounds and squeaks, she scrambled for her notebook and started to write into it as quickly as she could. 

         [I’m sorry! I was just curious about the turples turtles*! You looked like you really liked them!]

      Uwaahhh how embarrassing! Did she make him mad? Her fingers were nervously scratching at the edges of her notebook and her feet kept trying to climb on top of the other as a nervous quirk.

She was a really cute little girl, now that he looked at her. He had to wonder, though, was she here with someone? Snow looked down at the notebook, blinking a few times. Ah, he was glad he hadn't caused her too much trouble. He offered her another smile, and he nodded.

"I see. I do really like them, yes. They are my favorite marine animals." He explained to her, turning back to look at them. "I think they are really adorable." She looked a little nervous...

@moonlightsamurai | Inspired.

Snow was volunteering at Sea This, which in and of itself was a wonderful experience. However, what made it even better was the fact that he got to interact with the turtles. The sea-turtles in particular made him want to cry because they were so adorable.

Right now, he was waiting for someone to get back to him with the food, watching the turtles swim about. Surprisingly few people were around, which meant that he was allowed to relax. He simply watched as they swam about, probably talking to one another but in a language Snow couldn’t understand.

He looked over as someone came in, and he blinked. Another visitor, perhaps? “I will be feeding them soon, if you would like to watch.” He offered.
