Team Kittens and Domesticity

[tire_moi_mes_bottes]

The kittens are adorable. Of course they are adorable; a kitten always is. They don't seem especially wormy or flea-bitten either, to Laigle's eye, but he's leaving questions of veterinary care up to Joly. It seems like a natural division of labor. (Not that he's comparing Joly's medical skills to those of a veterinary surgeon, a horse-doctor. But Joly at least knows what questions to ask.)

So Lesgle is engaged in adoring a kitten as it taps and pounces at loose threads on his waistcoat, while Joly immerses himself in a reading of their new volume on cat care, when a thought strikes him. Hmm. "Say, Joly. Has Enjolras seen our new room? Has he seen the cherubim?" Obviously he hasn't seen the kittens.

Surprising Enjolras is an entertainment in and of itself. Mild, to be sure, but nonetheless--an entertainment.

"Hmm?" Joly's got the other kitten alternately attacking and cuddling the loops of a scarf around his neck; between that and the book he's not thinking about the cherubs at all. For once. But they do come back.

"Oh-- no, you know, I don't think he has. I don't think I've mentioned them, either, it's...not something that comes up with Enjolras, somehow." He grins. "But of course we should have our friends over."
