[ THIS GROWN MAN IS ALSO UNWILLING???? don't make it sound like he's the yaoi here

at the statement, he already feels his brows furrowing slightly. ] Don't come crying when you've seen its true colors. [ but, with sylus giving it a scritch, he is going to place his hand on his arm. he could let this man be consumed by this malicious beast, yeah, but... also he does want the cat gone so #priorities ]

[ He's the one putting his hand on Sylus' arm? Why are you touching another man if you're not yaoi?

Rafayel is actually lucky because Sylus would probably be grumpier if not the presence of a kitten. How is he supposed to maintain a bad mood in the face of a little purr? That said, the cat is not actually purring. It's more like she is tolerating his affection because this is her bed. ]

Are you speaking from experience?

[ why are you allowing it if you are also not a yaoi? you have muscles to stop this?

he's not going to admit he's scared, obviously. so the only thing left for him to do is cast judgment on this poor cat. ] Duh, what else would I be speaking on? [ but, as long as he can stop the cat from being pet...

rafayel is looking at the cat. staring it down in hopes it'll get the message and hop off. ... it does not. ]

[ This is victim blaming...?

Watches Rafayel try to psychically communicate with this cat. ]

Right. [ lol ] Maybe you should try communicating your grievances in meows.

[ lolol ]

[ where's the victim? i don't see them all i see is a giant yaoi ]

... [ don't think he won't. ] Meow meow meow... meow.

[ looking the cat dead in the face, the cat however...

ignores him. ]

. . .

[ Rafayel... are you... a clown..............? ]

Hey, you're the one who said it might work.

[ stop????????? sylus ai said???? ]

Now I can't even face my ancestors...

I was just wondering if you're going to give up that easily.

[ Looking innocent. ]

You could always offer a hand, you know.

[ he's going to try and move sylus' arm for emphasis on the hand part. ]

[ What is he doing to Sylus' arm... ]

I don't have any complaints with the current situation. [ ... ] Well, except your being here.

[ maybe he can scare the cat using sylus' beefy arms, thanks. ]

Just in case you didn't have your eyes open, I was here first. This is my room.

[ HELLO leave this cat alone? He won't let Rafayel shove his arm like that. Don't make him smack you. ]

Then consider your domain conquered.

[ the cat isn't leaving HIM alone???? ]

Oooor, you could leave and take him with you?

[ Pretends to consider this. ]

... Mhm. I'll pass.

[ he's about to open his mouth with a rebuttal, but then the cat stands suddenly. ... it appears it's only switching its position, but it's enough for raf to have released sylus and settle back onto his section of the bed. ]

I wasn't giving you an option?

[ LMAO watches him freeze... This is so funny. Why is he so scared of a kitty cat.

Anyway, having seen this show of non-masculinity, just lifts a brow at Raf like... Okay? What are you going to do about it? ]

[ get your toxic masculinity out of here, sylus

for a moment, he just stares at sylus. there's clear deliberation on his features, but i bijou really don't want them to be wrestling on this bed... so in the end, he opts on just releasing a sizeable exhale before laying back down. ]

Fine, have it your way. [ okay, but why is there suddenly another cat in this room?

hello? ]

[ Sorry, Rafayel. You are not the annoying one in this thread... And as soon as Sylus sees that other cat, he will immediately try to cajole it toward the bed. ]

Here, kitty kitty.

[ SYLUS!!!!! ]

... Did you even listen to a word I've been saying?

[ turning to the cat: ] Don't think the attention you're getting is permanent.

[ Raf is just lucky that animals tend to be wary of Sylus despite his fondness for them because the cat is not bounding over to the bed, but its not leaving either. Deciding... ]

You know, you might be more popular if you warmed up to cute little animals.

[ Just decides Rafayel is unpopular. ]

Edited 2025-11-22 23:41 (UTC)

You're one to talk.

[ not when sylus' prompting hasn't even got this new cat to move. ]

Besides, I don't especially need to be popular, you know. That just invites more trouble, and I already have my hands full with the paparazzi at home. [ he says this as he lifts the blanket, he drags it across to his side (sorry sylus gets no blanket and no say) as if building up a barrier.

he also hopes the blanket... maybe it scares cats away? who knows? ]

[ Okay. I have never known any cat to hate blankets, so that is not going to deter them. In fact, both cats will follow the blanket. ]

Right. The tragic existence of a famous artist that works according to his own schedule and then makes loads of money.

[ The second cat puts its paws on the bed on Raf's side, peeking at the soft blanket. ]

[ you utilizing your real life knowledge for this is taking me out

but also these cats are going to be the death of him. when they both approach him and his blanket, he stiffens up, his eyes just following them. shoo.... go away. his attention is barely on sylus when he hears that comment... ]

Sounds like you're thinking of someone really specific.

[ why do the cats have to be here now when this is a moment in which he's gradually coming to the realization that this man is from his world?

let him be serious ]

[ Don't worry, he's not too concerned about the serious half of this conversation either. Too preoccupied with the hilarity of this grown man being terrified of two little cats. ]

I wonder who.

[ The second cat hops onto the bed too now, and both cats are crawling over to Rafayel, trying to shove themselves against the blanket and make biscuits. ]

[ he's debating how much crazier he would look now if he leapt out of bed and just ran out the door. ... thankfully, this isn't around mc where he just thirsts for every crumb of attention, and so he does have some pride (lol) he theoretically needs to keep in tact.

so he just stays. suffering. though, he is moving his feet from under the blanket, trying to redirect them and keep them from settling in. ]

Then, who are you supposed to be? Or should I be presumptuous like you and try and guess?
