[MSG]: ummm promise not 2 laff but i need help.
[MSG]: 😞😞😞😞😞 im trapped in the catio and i cant get out.
By 'trapped in the catio' he quite literally means it, stuck head-first and unable to wiggle himself back out. Next time, he's not going to reach into stupidly narrow spaces to pet the cute kitty. It's clearly a trap.
at his office, atticus was usually quite good about ignoring his personal cell. however, after a romantic engagement and a deepening bond with his beloved shinya, he was admittedly quite poor now at it. after all, he knew now that most of the time, texts were not coming from business clients who had his private cell, or from old flings looking to worm their way back in.
it was usually shinya, typically sending him photos of the pokemon, or the shelter--a necessary boost to get him through the day.
so, when his phone buzzed once, and then twice, he glanced subtly down in the midst of a board meeting at his lap to check--and pursed his lips.
"excuse me--an emergency has come up, and i need to be going. please fill me in when i am back tomorrow."
avoiding the confused glances of his colleagues who murmured their understanding for the unusual circumstance of atticus's sudden departure, as he headed out, he rounded quickly back to the elevator to get to his office to grab his keys.
[ to -> shinya ] : give me thirty minutes.
[ to -> shinya ] : don't make it worse.
checking to make sure his messages sent, atticus swung open the door to his office. cairo, sleeping on his custom bed, lifted his broad head, keen eyes already letting on that he knew atticus wasn't supposed to be back yet.
"household emergency," atticus explained, grabbing his coat, keys, and swiftly packing up his laptop. "let's go."
with a grunt, the luxray heaved himself up, shaking out his mane and plodding along after his trainer.
"run it by me one more time--how did you manage this...?"
squatted down next to shinya, atticus squinted. he really had managed to get himself properly stuck, and as he tested the frame of the small flap meant for his smaller pokemon, he found it had very little gap. much as he'd like to avoid it, it seemed he'd have to do some deconstruction.
inside the house, cairo had found his bed to finish his nap, and behind him, stuck in the catio due to shinya blocking the way back in, his skitty and vulpix both looked curiously on. neither were distressed--if anything, they likely found shinya's predicament great entertainment.
