Naoise butted his head against Arutha’s hand, enjoying the pet and the comfort offered. It wasn’t often a person took a shine to him, most found him slightly…off, automatically sensing he wasn’t exactly normal and steered clear. Which is why Arutha’s concern and interest in him came as such a surprise, since usually those drawn to him had a telepathic or empathic talent of some sort and as far as he could tell Arutha didn’t show any obvious signs, not that Naoise had checked that deeply.
Aruthas offer of taking him home stunned him so completely he went still in shock. Hope and fear bloomed in him in equal measure, to have someone, be near someone again, to bond with someone, even a human was something he had not dared hope for, not so soon on arrival. He looked up at Arutha and scanned his face, would the offer still stand if he knew how strange, how different he really was, when he realised he wasn’t a real cat after all? Well, there was really only one way to find out.
It was then he felt Arutha stiffen slightly, his fingers curled, forgotten in Naoise’s fur Curious and a little tense Naoise stepped into the shadows and turned around to see what had caught Aruthas attention, the shadow shifting took only a mere second hardly noticeable, except Arutha’s hand had been on him when he did it and was now in an entirely different position then it was a second ago. Still Naoise paid it no mind, intent on finding out what the possible threat was. Slowly, once he realised there was no immanent attack what it was he was looking at sunk in and couldn’t help it when he hissed slightly, widening his eyes in shock at the pepper shaker floating above the table top, not that he could see it properly, just the silver lid, floating where it shouldn’t be.. He turned his now amused green eyes to Arutha and quickly probed his mind, hissing in satisfaction as he felt the tingle of psychic talent. Stupid, stupid fool he thought to himself, obsessing on telepathic abilities he never thought about other abilities, and where there was one talent, pathways to others were always a possibility. He sat and wrapped his tail around Arutha’s ankle and waited to see what he would do and what if anything he had noticed.
