[iwatobi]

[There is a crash, like glass breaking. There's a sigh. There is an adorable small kitten curled up on a sweater and sleeping as if she's done nothing wrong.

But instead of scolding her, Haruka reaches out to give her a couple scritches behind the ear.]

Mewt won't listen.

[He only feeds stray cats- he's only ever had a dog as a pet before. A very obedient one! And now he's stuck with a rambunctious, diva, cute kitten. What do.]

[He still has the cat. Newt is pleased, but he's too busy choking on a laugh to really appreciate it right now.]

Mewt? [Grinning over the screen.] You went with somethin' awful like that?

So how is it? Too much responsibility for you?

[He could have pretended like he didn't give him the cat, but then he couldn't be openly smug about it, and sometimes Newt indulges in being a shit like the rest of his friends.]

[iwatobi]

Mm. It is awful. [HARU IS VERY UNAPOLOGETIC.]

And yes.

[A glare that says 'THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS PRESENT I KNEW IT WAS YOU.']

video.

[gluestick]

Hope you realize you're punishin' the cat more than me with a name like that.

[Newt's expression is just so smug.]

You still planning to keep her?

[standsproud]

[OH NO IT'S PRECIOUS....] It's a cat. They don't ever listen.

[iwatobi]

I like cats. But I've never lived with one.

[standsproud]

Then all you need to know is that it won't listen.

[backstrorca]

[Despite having his own personal cat harem wherever he goes nowadays, Makoto is still smiling brightly in the video--the kitten was still really cute, and he still really likes cats.]

A new pet? She's really cute, Haru. Though cats aren't really as easy to train as dogs is, so that's probably why she wont listen.

Video

[iwatobi]

[Haru looks so. ANNOYED.]

She doesn't like water.

[A look that asks 'what do I do?']

Video

[backstrorca]

[His look immediately becomes doubtful of Haru's ability to own a pet.]

Most cats don't, Haru...

[Makoto sighs. Haru knew full well that cats weren't particularly found of water. He fed so many strays back at home!

But he catches the look, and his exasperation can only last so long before he genuinely focuses on the issue at hand.]

Well, for starters, you should probably get her some basic supplies? Like a food and water dish, some toys...if she's an indoor cat she'll need a litter box too...

[waiting]

The trick with cats is to get 'em to think it's their idea in the first place.

voice;

[iwatobi]

I can't talk to cats.

voice;

[waiting]

You could probably find someone here who can -- but uh, that's not the point. [ He clears his throat. ]

I mean use treats or play with them or something. Give 'em a toy that'll get their attention, and make them decide getting up and knocking things down isn't fun enough.

[runout]

[ It takes a few seconds of incredulous staring, but... ]

... That a pun?

Video

[iwatobi]

[Haru looks very annoyed.]

Mm. "Meow" and "Newt."

Video

[runout]

You named your cat after Newt?

[ He knows Newt that well in the first place? ]

[andaway]

Cats hardly ever listen. Especially not when they are that little.

[SO TINY.]

You should probably make sure there isn't anything she can throw or scratch around for a while?

video;

[iwatobi]

Sometimes, that thing is me.

[And he lets her scratch him because she's...well, she's cute.]

[theoryandcalculation]

[Rei comes hurrying down when he hears the crash.]

Haruka-senpai, are you-

[He stops dead in the doorway, staring.

There is a live animal in the house.

He hopes that isn't one of his sweaters.]

action;

[iwatobi]

Rei.

[He gestures toward the kitten.]

Meet Mewt.

Audio;

[databoner]

Are you particularly surprised a kitten won't listen?

Audio;

[iwatobi]

They listen to Makoto.

video.

[nitidus]

You have to be firm and patient.

[or give it to rose. give every cat to rose. ]

Have you just been giving her ear scratches when she's naughty?

video.

[iwatobi]

[rose you have like 10 cats there is a line.

...he looks guilty.]

She's cute.

[bratziska]

Oh, what a beautiful kitty! ( A beat. ) When you're as cute as Mewt is, you can get away with anything.

( Trust her, she'd know. )

[iwatobi]

[Yes his kitty is very, very cute and even if she's a brat he loves her.]

Mm... I think I understand that, now.

But she breaks things.
