LANGUAGE BARRIER GO BBRRRRRRR!

Quickish doodle from a scene in chapter 2:

Instead you heaved out a weary sigh and met Sun's uncertain gaze. "Soooooo I gotta go out to get supplies and… yeah, I'll be gone for a few hours." Removing your winter coat from the little hook next to the back door you pulled your arms through the sleeves and zipped it up. "But I'll be back as soon as I can, I promise!" Noodle jumped off the table as you stepped towards the darkened living room, and behind you the legs of Sun's chair loudly scraped over the floor as he hurried to get up as well, following after you. Glancing over your shoulder you bit back a wince at the lost expression on his face, growing worry pinching between his brows. "Tseri ái ioi voa'er?" The sickening feeling of guilt crawled up your throat. There was no mistaking the sound of fear in those words, the tremble in his voice, and you hated yourself for being the cause of it. He'd already been through so much, he'd put his trust in you and now you couldn't help but feel you were letting him down. It wasn't your fault or his, he simply didn't understand, but you still felt like a horrible person for putting him through more stress. Your eyes glided over the couch and Moon's still form under the blanket before you turned on your heel to face Sun fully, and reached out to grab his hands. "It's okay." Comforting people wasn't exactly your forte, let alone comforting a stressed out alien, but you tried to put as much soothing warmth in your voice as you could manage as you gave his warm hands a light squeeze. "Just stay here, alright? I'll be back soon and it will all make sense when I do. Here-" Releasing Sun you bend down to scoop up your cat and pushed her into his hands; he visibly startled as his digits immediately curled around her to keep her from falling, cradling her against his chest, but just as you had expected Noodle settled quickly and didn't seem to truly mind. "Watch Noodle for me, okay? Keep her company. I promise you'll understand why once I get back."

I didn't know what to do with the background lol. Also, Noodle can be whatever kind of cat you want, this is just how I picture her.
