@errantkatana asked: “What... are you doing?” (X)
Gyomei froze up; it figured someone would come upon him while he was on the ground and halfway in a bush. It could have been worse- or so he told himself with a slow, deep sigh. Thankfully he was past the point of caring about pride, though this was still an embarrassing (and rather telling) encounter.
He pulled himself out and stood up to his full height before carefully holding up a cat-not quite an adult but not a kitten either-for the other to see. It had a hoarse meow.
“I heard it crying,” he said simply. He too was crying. No surprise there.
