[kaleeopee]

Martin, you're not allergic to cats, right?

[lonelynotforsaken]

[A... peculiar inquiry.]

No. Is this a joke about Jon?

[kaleeopee]

Not this time, it'd be too easy.

I've just been thinking, things have been...difficult lately. But now that things have calmed down just a bit, what would you say to getting a pet for the house?

[lonelynotforsaken]

[On the one hand, Martin adores animals and has desperately wanted a pet his whole life. On the other...]

Do you think that would be safe? I mean, all the things that happen here... we'd have to be really careful. I wouldn't want them getting hurt.

[kaleeopee]

Yeah, of course! Something small, inside only, don't leave the doors open, supervised play, all that.

[lonelynotforsaken]

[He's running through the scenarios of what might go wrong here.]

I'd want to make sure as few people know about the cat as possible, too.
Just in case...

[Jon with his veritable boatload of enemies and all.]

[kaleeopee]

So no public birthday parties for the cat or viral network cat dancing videos.

[She gets it and while she'd hope people wouldn't come after an animal to get back at Jon she understands it's could happen.]

I'm making two separate checklists as we speak for dos and don'ts of Deerington cat ownership.

[...]

I'm being paranoid, aren't I?

[kaleeopee]

Just a bit.

[lonelynotforsaken]

Real talk? Can you blame me considering?

[kaleeopee]

No but I think we can find a bit of wiggle room between letting it free roam the neighborhood while robots are exploding and locking it away in a bedroom like a princess in a tower anytime someone comes over.

[lonelynotforsaken]

All right. We can get a cat. I haven't seen any places adopting them out around town, though. Do you know anyone with kittens, or...?

[kaleeopee]

I've been keeping an eye but no. I was thinking about doing that thing, leaving presents for the deer? And seeing if that'd do the trick.

[lonelynotforsaken]

Oh. Does she do live animals? Well, it can't hurt to ask, I suppose. I've still got some jam from when I was practicing things when Jon and I first got here. You're welcome to leave some of it out as an offering.
