Who: Equius and Nepeta
What: A Moirail Playdate... with the sound turned off (Gentlemen event)

Where: The Carnival in Hel
Rating: PG at most

Equius was not one to give up lightly. He'd agreed to a playdate with his moirail after that entire fiasco with the croakbeasts and their mother glubbing blather, and by glob he was going on a playdate. He stood impatiently in the front hall of their shared house and proceeded to holler. Then he remembered. That's right. He couldn't speak.

This solicited a growl and rumble in his throat that produced no sound. That, in turn produced another soundless snarl, which led to a wordless roar, which led to a lamp being shattered and him having to draw a new one on a napkin before Nepeta came down.

Breathe...

He patted her on the head, relaxing a little once the food was in his stomach. He needed to let it digest and settle a moment. That was the thing to do right about now, wasn't it?

[bestestfurrend]

Well, letting it digest does sound like a good idea. Equius seems to be settling back to relax a little, and soon Nepeta is crawling into his lap for a catnap. She's liking this going out on dates thing. They need to do it more often!

[alternia_strength]

He chuckled very silently. This was definitely not a bad situation. Settling so that she could curl up there, he was happy to let her sun herself on her lap for at least a little while. He definitely agreed with this sentiment. They needed to do this again sometime.

Uh oh! Are those silent little snores happening? It seems like they are! She's a happy kitty with a full tummy and a comfortable spot to lie on, and when there's Equius there to watch over her, why shouldn't she have a little sleep?

[alternia_strength]

You know what? He was going to allow those little silent purring snores to continue. If, after a while, she seemed like she was legitimately out like a light, he'd simply carry her quietly back to the house. No reason not to let her sleep on her way back, now was there?

[bestestfurrend]

Well, if nothing disturbs her then it's unlikely she'll wake up. Being picked up might jostle her a little, but she knows instinctively that she's in her moirail's arms, and so remains happily asleep in the knowledge that she's perfectly safe.

They would have to do this again sometime, perhaps after 12th perigree's eve. For the moment, he was going to be a good moirail and make sure she got back home safe and sound so she could relax. Poor little kitty didn't know when she'd gotten herself all tuckered out until it was too late.
