She'll Need A Name

Who: Kaworu Nagisa and Ginko
What: Taming a Tigerlily Kitten
When: September 7
Where: Enso
Warnings: Possible mention of a different cat's death in Kaworu's canon--not the tigerlily kitten, though. She's very fierce and brave and will be totally fine.

Kaworu doesn't see the kitten stalking him from the flowers.

Of course he doesn't. He's blind.

He isn't even sitting on the ground right now; he's floating with his shoes just a couple feet off the ground, and it's his shoes that the tigerlily is stalking, really... or more specifically his shoelances, which are untied. He knows something small is nearby, because it's not that far from him, really, and inching closer every second. He can feel that.

But he doesn't really think it's aiming for him until suddenly something has him by the foot and it's physically flailing around and--knowing no fear--he grabs it off him with a frown and for about four seconds, has a tigerlily kitten around the middle, its tail whipping back and forth, its little forepaws still reaching for his shoe.

Then it turns to spit a whole cloud of pollen in his face.

Ginko comes across the two infants boy and kitten just as Kaworu scoops up the little tigerlily - and gets a face full of pollen for his trouble.

It would be sort of funny if it weren't for the fact that... well, this place has a way of surprising people in bad ways. And, also, Ginko sure has caught Kaworu - albeit a different Kaworu, apparently - killing a child, so... you know. He suspects this will end poorly for either Kaworu or the kitten, if not both.

So he hurries up to them both, ready to scoop the kitten away from Kaworu if necessary. "You alright?"

See, for the moment, he doesn't even notice that. He just leans over to get a better look at the kitten, raising his eyebrows slightly and lifting a hand to kind of... reach tentatively toward her. Which is probably a dumb idea, given that this is a wild animal, even if a tiny baby one.

"What happened over here?"

Yeah he should have seen this coming. To his credit, though (maybe), Ginko doesn't jerk back or protest, just replying with a deadpan "ow" before trying to gently extract his hand from the kitten's grasp. He's had worse, it's fine.

"Uh... yeah, so I've noticed. I was wondering more about why it was trying to... spray you."

That's probably not the best way to put it, but. He's trying.

"Ah... well, if you don't know what happened, I can't really tell you what you should have done." Sorry, Kaworu, he just got here and he has no idea what's going on.

"At least you both seem to be alright." Judging by how casual Kaworu is acting, and the kitten's... everything. Against his better judgement, he sits down on the ground to get a better look at it.

"Mm. Well, if it is, it's not doing anything yet." That is absolutely not a safe attitude to take, of course, but... y'know, he's here now. And he hasn't heard anything about these guys being all that dangerous.

...Beyond, you know, the obvious. Ginko hisses through his teeth and pulls his arm back, placing his other hand gently on the kitten's head to discourage this. "--Ow. I hope you know you can't actually take me down."
