Well this was… not something you see everyday. Leo only now noticed that this stranger had a tail and ears on his head. Almost like he was… well. A cat. Huh. Not like he could really judge, though.

“Oh– okay, I mean. At least you caught yourself!” He smiles weakly, not really sure how to comfort this guy; he seemed really paranoid and jumpy, almost as if he was actually a cat. Maybe he’d just…

“Sorry if this is rude, but.. are you half cat or something? I mean.. I guess the ears and tail kind of give some of that away, but…” Leo shrugs, not entirely sure of where to go with that. He just wanted some sort of explanation, really. Maybe he could somehow help this guy calm down a little better if he knew the situation. Half-cat? Toss him a ball of yarn. That could work, right?

    Cheshire’s ears flicked further back, nearly plastering to his head, slightly self-conscious of being around a stranger in this state.  “Nya, Cheshire usually does,” he mumbled, glancing away.  He needed to find someone to curl up with, someone who would reassure him that he hadn’t been left alone to all of that coldness, that loneliness.

    His head snapped back at the question, ears perking up slightly.  “Nya, Cheshire isn’t half-cat,” he stated.  “Cheshire is a cat, nya.”  He brought one paw up to lick at it with his tongue, a familiar motion to try to calm himself down a little bit.  “Cheshire is Alyss’ cat, nya, and Cheshire would do anything to protect Cheshire’s precious.”

“New friends, huh~? Well, you’ve gained two friends right here~” She giggled before her hands stopped. Uhh, maybe it would best if they went inside first. “Cheshire, can we head in your apartment? It would be more comfortable there,” She looked down at the white kitten, “even if you don’t want me to, I’ll clean your fur.”

[felisxtantum-blog]

    Cheshire blinked at the assurance before a slow smile spread across his face, his tail curling behind him again as a warm feeling bloomed inside him.  “Nya, Cheshire likes friends,” he stated before jolting at the statement.  “Nya, Cheshire doesn’t know where Cheshire’s living,” he stated, shifting awkwardly with the food in his arms.  “Cheshire hasn’t had a chance to see what territory Cheshire’s been allowed yet, nya, but Cheshire can find out with Cheshire’s friends.”  His tail flicked around, rummaging in his pocket until it came up with a key hooked around the end, a feat that had him frowning in concentration.  “Nya, do you know where this is?”

“Well then, you wouldn’t mind if I spoil you with pets right?” Because there was no way she was going to stop now, not with how adorable Cheshire was being. A small meow brought her attention to the small kitten in her arms, her other hand moving under her chin, “I haven’t forgotten about you of course.”

[felisxtantum-blog]

    Cheshire blinked at the question, flushing a little before he ducked his head slightly, shifting it under her touch.  “Nya, Cheshire... Cheshire would like that too,” he mumbled, a tad shy about admitting that but too honest to lie about it.  He meowed back at the kitten, almost in spite of himself, and lowered his head to nuzzle against her nose, tail curling behind him in pleasure.  “Cheshire likes making new friends, nya.”

       “I know all of those people, although I’m not sure why you said Alice twice,” Leo said, unable to detect the difference between Alice and Alyss. It was surprising that this boy knew so many people; the valet had never heard of him, and he thought with such a unique appearance he might have done so at some point.

       “Can you explain to me what happened? Or is it a secret…?” To be honest it was dubious whether Cheshire really knew at all. He could have some delusion, or just made it up to get attention.

A wind blew and brushed Leo’s bangs to and fro. Instead of craning his neck to see the cat, he cast his multi-coloured gaze over the glades that rippled with waves of air. The lights he could see dappled over the fields looked like the stars had fallen out of the sky and were wandering around, lost.

[felisxtantum-blog]

    Cheshire’s ears twitched.  “Nya, Cheshire didn’t say Alice twice,” he stated.  “Cheshire knows Alyss and Alice, nya.  Alice used to tug Cheshire’s tail, nya, and Cheshire doesn’t like her as much, but Cheshire would protect her.  Alyss is Cheshire’s most precious, nya!  Alyss plays with Cheshire and laughs with Cheshire and Cheshire is her knight, nya!”  His tail curled happily at the thought of his best friend.  He really did love his very best friend in the whole wide world.

    The question had him pausing in where he was licking at a paw, and he considered for a moment.  On one paw, he didn’t care much for what happened, aside from the amount of pain that it had caused his precious friend.  But on the other paw, what if Alyss found out and hurt again?  He didn’t want that.  Although, on the other paw, Leo did seem nice enough to not want to do that.  But on the other other paw, Cheshire wasn’t sure if it was all a lie, like what the nasty blond boy had done.  Debating the merits of each argument, he finally decided on the answer.

    “Cheshire... will answer some questions, nya,” he offered, “but you must promise not to tell anyone, nya!  Especially not Cheshire’s most precious, nya.  Cheshire doesn’t want to make Alyss sad again, nya.”

[crimsian-blog]

Alyss…as in Alice or perhaps a variant of that name? So Cheshire was protecting someone and the Hatter attacked. Well, her opinion on him has fallen so much. “Well, nobody will hurt you here, I’ll even make sure of it!” Or she could always ask Nina to take care of the ones who would hurt such an adorable feline.

Oh good, he was fine with her giving him head pats. So, once again she patted him. “Then if you’re fine with it, I’ll continue!”

[felisxtantum-blog]

    Cheshire’s ears perked up shyly at the assurance, and against all of his doubts he couldn’t help but to smile.  “Cheshire would like that, nya,” he murmured, a vague feeling of warmth curling inside him.  No one had ever offered to protect him before.  He had always had to protect everyone else, wear himself thin, but just... it made him feel something, something he realized with a shock was happiness.  He was glad someone was going to protect him.

    He purred softly at the pat, ears shifting to allow the touch all the easier, although he had to restrain himself from rubbing up into the touch.  “Nya, Cheshire missed being pet,” he mumbled in spite of himself, eye slipping closed.  Centuries of loneliness would do that to a cat.

▲ For a moment, his gaze met the feline’s but he quickly attempts to walk away. He had a bad feeling about anyone dressed up like a cat, especially when he was carrying a bag of groceries home right now.

    Cheshire usually didn’t intrude on strangers too often.  It required a lot more courage than he had, and well... he was a cat, not immune to the way people would stare at him for his ears and tail.  It made him shy, hence why he spent most of him time in the company of other cats rather than humans.

    But when he could smell something wrong, he figured it was the good thing to do.  Humans wouldn’t tell anyone anything.  “Wait up, nya!” he called, turning around and following after the male with the grocery bag.  “Cheshire needs to tell you something, nya!”

“OOPS! Sorry!!” Leonardo stumbled backward when he had suddenly rounded the corner and knocked into someone. He collected himself quickly, though, hoping that this guy wouldn’t be angry with him as some other people sometimes were. It was hard to see when you had to squint all the time.

“Won’t happen again– um.. are you alright?”

[felisxtantum-blog]

    Cheshire’s tail swished behind him, a vague sense of worry coming over him.  He had been feeling a little jittery for most of the day, and normally he would settle it by finding Alyss and cuddling with her for a few hours, but she was away taking care of some business.  Which left him with nothing to do but roam the city to try to stave off the bone-deep fear he had been left alone again, that he had been abandoned again.

    He had ducked aside to try to avoid panicking in the middle of a crowd after he’d brushed someone who had felt cold, but he hadn’t quite been good enough if he felt a shove from behind.  “Nya!” he squawked, paws flailing as he tried to keep his balance before he caught himself on the side of a building.  His tail curled shamefully at the question and his ears slunk closer to his head.  “... Cheshire supposes,” he murmured quietly, not sure whether he was saying he was or he wasn’t.  He was just too jittery for this.

    “Hey hey hey hey hey now!”    The merchant hurried out from where he’d been working in the back, skittering to a stop with his companion fluttering after him, Sheerow squeaking as he found a perch on his shoulder, the teen pushing back his hood so that he could look outside of it.  “Be careful with that stuff!  You break it, you buy it!”

    “Squee squeak!” Sheerow added from his shoulder, as if to back him up, and the Lowrulian held up his hands, though he seemed uncertain about whether he wanted to flat out take the staff from the other or whether he was trying to talk him out of something.

    “It’s very fragile stuff, y’know, and it’s not like I can just get another!  You either rent it or you buy it, otherwise you gotta leave it!”  Sheesh, what was it with people and trying to take the sand rod?  He didn’t want any sand storms inside!  It was a pain cleaning all that up!

@giftiaa liked for a starter!

    Cheshire was napping up on the railing of his apartment - it was pretty lonely, staying all by himself, so he’d taken to sleeping outside in feline form, if only so that he wouldn’t feel quite so alone - when he jolted awake, a little yowl of surprise startling out of him as he overbalanced and took a tumble.  He twisted in the air, hurriedly shifting his momentum so that he ended up colliding with another balcony, a groan leaving him as he scrabbled onto his feet again.

    He just needed to sneak back out again, no harm no foul... right?

[nechangejamais-blog]

The more that Cheshire came into view, the less sure Leo was whether he was a human or… something else. A Chain, perhaps? He decided not to question. He didn’t want to antagonise the cat, who seemed innocent and childlike in many respects.

         “It is nice to meet someone from home. So far I’ve met a couple of people I knew there, though to be honest I did not know many people very well to begin with,” he admitted. The only person he really knew was Elliot. Everyone else was distant and wary of him.

         “I actually lived in Sablier for most of my life. However, when I lived there it was in ruins. It was destroyed in the Tragedy. My friend seemed to think that you knew more about it. Do you?”

His question was calm, as if he didn’t really mind whether Cheshire gave an answer or not. It wasn’t of much importance to him; the politics of Reveillan nobility bored him. He couldn’t say he wasn’t curious, though.

[felisxtantum-blog]

    Cheshire’s tail swished and he cocked his head to the side.  “Nya, Cheshire doesn’t know very many either,” he stated.  “Cheshire knows Alyss, nya, and Alice and Oz and the Hatter, nya.”  He thought for a moment before wrinkling his nose.  “Cheshire met Raven, nya, but Raven doesn’t like Cheshire, and Cheshire doesn’t like Vincent, nya, so Cheshire doesn’t want to know him.”

    His tail lashed at the mention of the blond, a mixture of anger and fear before he calmed down again.  What had happened in his first life wasn’t Leo’s fault.  The Chain’s ears perked up at the mention of the Tragedy.  Oh he remembered very well what had happened there, through the memory he had guarded and the pain it had brought his precious.  “Nya, Cheshire knows what happened there,” he stated, bringing a paw up to lick at the back of it.  “Cheshire- ... Cheshire used to guard Alyss’ memory of that day, nya.”  His ears drooped a little at the reminder of what he had lost, but he didn’t otherwise react apart from the hesitation as he’d corrected himself.

    Meeting Alyss again had soothed some of the pain from that wound, even if he did still feel guilty for failing her.

The kitten insists on cleaning herself…she knew that cats could do that but she really wanted to. Was it a matter of pride? She never understood that. But if the kitten wanted to clean herself, she’d accept that. Wait, Cheshire fought the Hatter? “I wonder too, why would anyone hurt a sweet cat like you?”

Oh, she felt that jolt and quickly pulled back her hand. “O-Oh, I’m sorry for suddenly petting you; it was instinctual and…uhh…y-you’re welcome…” She pulled the kitten closer to her as an attempt to hide her face.

[felisxtantum-blog]

    “Nya, Cheshire doesn’t know,” he mumbled under the question.  “Cheshire just wanted to protect Alyss, nya.  Cheshire didn’t want to get hurt, nya.”  He never wanted to hurt anyone.  He just wanted to protect, to not be alone anymore.  That was all.  Time had long since blended together, and any novelty of being alone in a dimension had departed instead for a crushing longing for someone else, for companionship.

    He ducked his head shyly at the offer.  “Nya, it’s okay.  Cheshire liked it, nya.”  Warm touches reminded him that he didn’t have to be alone anymore.  They were pleasant, amazingly so, and there were precious few people he would turn down gentle hands from.

-You don’t have to keep in mind of whatever those lame people are saying. You don’t have to keep those tiny matters in mind and you don’t have to be anyone’s reincarnation.

-Perhaps you are far weaker than I expected. But, I think you must be far stronger than you think you are.
