Their ‘target’, the orange feline who’d shown up on the orphanage door step a few months ago, was glaring at them. Coco’s tail was flicking at a rapid pace and his ears were low, almost pressed against his head (neither a great sign, according to the cat behavior book she’d found in the ‘library’). “Why are you bothering me?”

“Why are you being so bitchy?” Ross shot back. Nora facepalmed into both hands and Ri dropped her head onto the pinkette’s shoulder. The orangette swiped the cup containing their peace offering, thrusting it at the feline. “Just take it and stop being more grumpy than the old man.”

Coco glared at the offered cup. “…You don't think it’s kind-of speciesist, assuming a cat likes milk?”

‘Yes’, Nora winced. But none of them had any better guesses.

“That’s your fault for being so closed off”, Ross scoffed. Regina raised her head, muttering something as she started to write-

“Don’t bother”, the orange cat said. “None of you are quiet.” Ri dropped her board, saying something along the lines of ‘can you hear me?’ if the pinkette was remembering Miss Flora’s lip reading lessons correctly.

Coco flicked his ears. “Like I said, none of you are quiet. She's pretty close, but, yeah”, he shrugged, twitching his ears again, “cat.” He then glanced over at Nora, “and you were right, by the way. You would have had better luck with tuna sandwich.”

(If anyone is interested by this little scene, here's the link to the actual fic. It's a collection of alternative POVs from AooS [also linked below] and scenes not in the game. Chapter 4 should be up sometime this week, as the 1st draft is almost done.)
