┈「 ❦ 」┈ ► The sight of a child struggling to rescue a feline stuck in a tree was not an image that would usually catch his attention, but this was a unique case. The boy’s way of coercing the cat out of the tree, which was through yelling and vague hand motions, was common. It was the animal’s reaction that was alarming. The way it sunk its nails into the wood and arched its back while hissing was a clear sign that it was more than ready to pounce on the blond boy. If this was happening while he was on a mission, then he would have turned his gaze away and continued walking on. However, he did not have any urgent matters to attend to in this city.
“At this rate, the cat will come down; but only because it wants to attack you.” Standing next to the kid, he pressed an index finger against his own lips to indicate that he wanted absolute silence. Raising his gaze, his eyes latched onto the cat’s yellow slitted pupils. Soon enough, its claws disappeared from sight and all the tension disappeared from its body. After returning back to its normal self, it climbed down the tree and ran straight for him. The way it gently rubbed its head against his leg caused him to smile a little. Just a little bit. Kurapika always did have a special affinity with animals. “I’m guessing the cat doesn’t belong to you. Are you helping someone to track it down?”
