Now, wasn't the tiny one just adorable. Kids were such bad liars most of the time it was truly endearing – and probably one of the less sad reasons he got along better with them than with most adult humanoids. It was an embarrassing weakness, sure and he'd rather keep it well hidden and away from the public eye – especially the eyes of the family. Here was to hoping the little one wouldn't go running to their siblings and talk about him but then again for the first time since getting them the ears actually seemed to have a perk to them. Any story told would surely include the feline-looking set of appendages that would hopefully would be gone soon enough. So the other option the other offered was definitely off the table.

“Hah.”, he tried his best fake laugh but the thought was genuinely amusing. “I'm certain your family would not appreciate your current affiliation with me.”, Aventurine wouldn't be surprised if someone was willing to come for his head for daring to use the young one for his own shady goals – even though it was nothing like that. “Ah, yes. Cats.”, came from him, a hand running along his forearm in thought. Well, maybe he could bribe the dream doctor to summon a memory of a cat cafe. With all gathered information it seemed to be the best option. “Come along then.”, he offered before setting into motion.
