“ What are you reading? “

Someone has had a little bit too much drink. Or just enough, depending whom you ask. Regardless, Eiden’s on his way out from a bar right nearby from where the two are right now. He simply happened to pass by and needed company so this stranger, sitting down there by himself reading book was the best thing 

- if only almost.

“ Whoa wait... “

Only now does he notice the third one with them. Unsteady he leans forward, hand outreached towards the third party -- 

“ ..kitty kitty... Lemme pet you... “

The black kitty at the corner gives a hiss. Eiden’s heart breaks. 

“ Aww.... Lemme give you some dried fish at least. 

Pause. He turns at the guy now reaching hand with the snack that he took with him from the bar.
