Who can’t keep their hands to themselves?

i. i mean. i think they both tend to be pretty touch-happy, but it's usually in an innocuous way which doesn't necessarily always have a romantic component to it thinking emoji

that said, i do definitely tend to think of the cat king as one who has less restraint regarding what kind of touch is appropriate or proper for which kinds of situations.... which. sounds Suggestive but i just mean that natori would probably personally prefer in more public settings, that their interactions, physical and otherwise, remain fairly businesslike to anyone looking in from the outside and not show such overt familiarity and/or comfort with each other in a way that might imply anything beyond that of a working relationship

otherwise like. Cats..... they kind of play at being a human-like civilization in the cat kingdom, but they are very much still cats and they like physical contact.....

What is the most embarrassing thing they have done in front of each other?

oh god idek do u understand how long they’ve known each other. in combination with what i’ve mentioned about the cat king being far more open with natori than natori is with him, i think that definitely means natori has been the unwitting and deeply unfortunate witness to probably countless embarrassments and the cat king just kind of Doesn’t Care bc again he takes natori’s loyalty and devotion for granted. it’s just how the world Works

and every last one of those secrets will go right into the grave with him rip

that said natori isn’t Perfect and i’m sure in 50-some-odd years he’s managed some fiascoes lmao

......and he lives in white-knuckled fear that those fiascoes will inevitably come up during some dinner party or something bc he absolutely knows the king is a shit secret keeper..........

When the zombie apocalypse comes, how do they cope together?

ohhhggh ever since i got this i've been thinking to myself that i'd love to see some sort of post-apocalyptic story from the POV of two feral cats lmao

if they don't Die in the first waves of figuring out what's going on bc the only one of them probably strong enough to survive a fight is also a pampered royal who resents having to Do Things For Himself when there's like. a servant right there, just waiting to do it for him..........

no, but, i do imagine a lot of. Trouble in the beginning, bc natori has some particular skills that would come in handy, but he is also, as mentioned above, not exactly a fighter. as strong as his protective impulses might be, they won't amount to much when he struggles to lift six pounds and is winded after running short distances i'm sorry natori i don't mean to roast u i love u

while the king certainly has more. uhhh. vigor? sure but also doesn't have near as much of a cooperative or goal-oriented attitude, and it might take a pretty dire situation for him to change his tune (were lune with them for some reason, it'd be a much different story, but natori doesn't inspire quite the same desire to protect in him, at least not, well, without an outside trigger, like i said. if something did happen, and natori did end up in danger or injured, then that’s probably what it’d take to get the king to start taking it more seriously. it’s also what would probably for possibly the First Time Ever cause him to have that epiphany that natori is an immensely physically vulnerable creature bc even in like the main verse here he doesn’t fully Register that)
