Calyx winced at the kitten's claws. "I-Is she hurting you?" She asked after a moment, tilting her head to the side. "S-She claws me up all the time, so I know it's not very pleasant." The kitten let out a pathetic mewl before finally quieting down, though she never really relaxed. Her was still fluffed up twice it's size, and her tail lashed around nervously. "She's been... In a bad mood for a few days now.." She shrugged, her gaze dropping down to the table.

"I-I had three cats," Calyx said after a moment, letting out a small, nervous laugh. "Tom died a few d-days ago, that's why I didn't go to school. Tom had been here ever since Midnight had been a kitten. She hasn't taken it p-pretty well," She tilted her head down, watching the tiny kitten claw and squirm a bit more until it settled down and began to lick his fingers curiously. "Tux has always been in a bad mood. I-I don't think he cares," She shrugged. ".. Talking about cats makes me feel like some crazy cat lady.."
