✧･ﾟ:* How strange it was that the child was LACKING in celebration. In any normal household, the feline might have been greeted by a much more cheerful child surrounded by friends & family. There should have been cake, confetti, gifts, … & most of all, HAPPINESS. Yet all of those things seemed to be absent before the cat arrived; as if today was just another day in the Williams home. *:･ﾟ✧
✧･ﾟ:* The truth was, that was what Riley had been trying to pass JUNE 26TH off as … but the reality was already upon him; unable to be abandoned by the child. The least that could happen now was that no misfortune could come to the child … & so far, that was … actually happening ? *:･ﾟ✧
✧･ﾟ:* By now, he was expecting something to RUIN that day. Never could the boy even remember having a ’ Happy Birthday ’. Perhaps when he was just a little baby … but what good was it when he could only remember the bad ? The thought lingers in his mind & even then, he tries his BEST to be at least a little bit happy for his friend. *:･ﾟ✧
’ Thank you, Chat Noir ! ’
’ Um … maybe we can go
to the PLAYGROUND for a
bit ? & then if you get bored
… we can go somewhere
else if you want ! I know big
kids don’t really like playgrounds
& like … my BIG BROTHER says
its really dumb there but um …
I-I’ll go get my stuff ! ’
✧･ﾟ:* He gives the present back to the cat for a moment before STEPPING BACK INSIDE the household. His steps were careful; KNOWING that his brother, his uncle, or something far worse could be lurking within the shadows of the corners. The child makes it out though with a GOLDEN BEAR plush in hand & a backpack with the few toys he had. *:･ﾟ✧
’ I’m ready when you are ! ’

A home void of happiness, empty besides the people inhabiting it.. Yeah, he knew how that felt. Where parties were a fairy tale and happiness was a rarity. He knew exactly how this kid felt, which meant that he needed someone to help him out.
A household raising a child shouldn’t be so void of love..
The feline cocked his head and frowned. Big kids didn't like playgrounds..? "Mm I don't think this kitty's ever been to one." He noted, slightly disappointed by this. Hmm. Perhaps this would be interesting? Ears perk at the mention of him deciding where they went, and he shook his head. “Non. I am pawsitive that it is the birthday boy who decides where we go!”
As the box is passed to him, he pondered what a playground was like. Nino told him about it, but it seemed that joy had not left the place just yet. Perhaps the ‘big kids’ Riley spoke of were just a bunch of liars..? His tail swished but he snapped back to reality when Riley approached.
“Alright! You okay with leading us there?”
