meowmeooow?

The first time his voice came out it made him freeze. Why did his meow sound so strange? He was faced with both the mans surprised eyes and the children crying, he meowed! at the same time. At that point he just wanted to disappear. Having a clumsy meow was so unlike a cat. No matter how many times he went meow, meow like he normally would, it sounded terrible like a human imitating a cats cry.

Why wont he stop meowing?

When the man approached the futon confused, the children next to him also changed the focus of their gazes with slightly knit brows.

Was he meowing like this before?

No, he started when Kiri-sama showed up.

When they said that, the man furrowed his brow anxiously.

Its my fault? Am I scary?

He wasnt so worked up like this when it was just us.

I seeI guess I am scary.

When they saw the mans suddenly troubled expression, one of the cat-eared boys clung to his arm, trying to cheer him up.

Its all right. Kiri-sama isnt scary!

He was just surprised, Im sure of it.

The other one next to him replied with a cool expression.
