[Normally Xander doesn't do video posts for the network, with the exception of showing off his shadow mimicry. This time around, the camera isn't pointed at himself but a kitchen counter filled with several sweet and savory baked goods made of kneaded dough. These weren't any left overs from the party that Kotetsu hosted since he didn't attend.]

I made a lot more than I intended. [The image tilts slightly to the side, as if it was knocked off balanced for some reason. A sigh and a meow is heard before the visual is back to it's original position.] There's a chance I won't be able to eat all of this in the next few days. So... I'm offering to -- [A brief pause, he's torn if he should charge a small sum for it or not.] -- share.

Limited to those who live in Locke, sorry.

You sound familiar, pal.

[Not that he was going to pry, really.]

What's your cat's name?

Voice

[dominateartimus]

That's not unlikely.

[While he does vaguely remember Arthur from the park.]

...Connor. [Cue a meow from his Siamese cat.]

[knights_king]

[Arthur stared. God, he loved cats. He wished he could afford one.]

That's a cool name. How old is he?

[saviorsoul]

Oh man, those look delicious! It sounds like your cat doesn't want you to share.

Voice

[dominateartimus]

[Sadly, there was no video feed showing off Connor the Siamese cat.]

Six, I think.

Voice

[dominateartimus]

Thanks. [There's a sound of disagreement.] No, he does or just distracted by my other cat.

Re: Voice

[saviorsoul]

You have more than one?

[ He is probably trying to see from his end. ]

Voice

[dominateartimus]

Yes.

[There's no video feed and the white tabby wouldn't have been see in the post either.]

Re: Voice

[saviorsoul]

Lucky. My parents won't let us have any pets.

Where are you planning to hand out your extra food?

Voice

[dominateartimus]

There's a lot of responsibility comes with owning pets.

...I haven't decided. Maybe one of the parks.

Re: Voice

[saviorsoul]

That's what they say. But I'm usually responsible. I could take care of a cat at least.

That would hold a few people. When were you thinking of doin' it?

[dominateartimus]

You might be thinking differently depending on the personality of the cat.

Sometime soon. [Just as he's about to end his response, there's a small clatter of plastic containers.]

Voice

[knights_king]

Jeez. Wish I could afford a cat.

[Even if he was a lion, himself.]

He a shelter or did you pick him up from a breeder or somethin'?

Voice

[dominateartimus]

They can get expensive.

I got him when he was a kitten from a shelter. [Just don't turn your questions about himself. He's fine talking about his cats, really.]

[saviorsoul]

[ There is a bit of a laugh from Alexi's side. ]

Yours seem pretty fun.

[dominateartimus]

He can be, but he's loves attention and sometimes makes things difficult.

[saviorsoul]

Isn't that all cats?

[dominateartimus]

Making things difficult, yes. Loves attention? Not all of them like that.

[saviorsoul]

I guess that's kinda more like a dog. I haven't gotten to spend much time around either.

[dominateartimus]

It'll change in time.

[There's sound of him stacking containers.]

Anyway, I'm heading off now.

Voice

[knights_king]

[There's a disappointed voice on Arthur's end. If even sheltered cats cost a bit, then he was at a loss.]

Dang. I really wish I could do that, too.

[saviorsoul]

I hope so.

Uh are you gonna contact people again? When you decide where you're gonna give stuff out?

[text]

[healspec]

[...oh. those look really good.]

[but things with Xander are so awkward right now...]

[but he has so few people in his life, he can't just let Xander slip out of it too. they probably need to talk about what happened, and...this is a good excuse, isn't it? he's not likely to get a better one any time soon.]

[how do you even start, though? pretend everything's fine?? ugh.]

[he types about 8 different false starts before he finally sends this one]

I wouldn't mind taking some of that off your hands.

Voice

[dominateartimus]

[Well, he was talking about food, litter, toys and additional things that came with owning a pet.]

Well, if you earn enough through a job and think you can look after a pet, then you can consider getting one.

[dominateartimus]

Yes.

[He's already on his way to the place in mind, so, he says what park he's going to.]
