He hadn’t expected that the little kittens would terrify whoever they found. With deft hand he plucks them off of her one by one, nestled now to his own chest. Two toned eyes scan each animal, scrutinizing any possible injuries. They were far from harmed, in fact they looked rather pleased, smug even.
“ — Apologies, I didn’t meant to cause any trouble. I would appreciate if you didn’t speak of them to any of the teachers. They’re only here until I can find a suitable home for them…” The desire to explain, comes to abrupt halt when he sees her face clearly.
「 ☆ 」 As he reached over to take the kittens off her, Mika tensed, only to relax once they were in his arms rather than climbing all over her. Fortunately for the animals, she wasn’t one to lash out even when terrified; while she tried to get away from them, she didn’t try to throw them off or otherwise do anything that could lead to them getting hurt. She almost noted that it was good, then, that they’d found her, but remembered that most people weren’t afraid of cats. The thought ( more specifically, her embarrassment over being afraid of the small animals ) brought a slight blush to her face.
“They tried to kill me,” she responded, as deadpan as possible. And, sure, she could feel welts start to swell up from where their claws had dug into her skin, though even she could admit that they hadn’t tried to hurt her on purpose. She shook her head. “It’s fine. I won’t tell anyone about them, I promise.”
From her tone alone, it sounded like a matter of life or death.
