The large being – actually it wasn’t as large now as it had been earlier – was pacing below him, clearly agitated. He didn’t pay much attention to it though. Now that he was bigger, he found that he could get up much higher than when the large being picked him up. It was a wonderful feeling to be so high up, and here were so many things to climb on. Really, if the large being didn’t want him to climb, why did he have so many interesting things up here?
A mewling erupted from the cloth that the large being had put on him. He pawed at it and a kitten’s head popped up out of the top opening. He frowned briefly, ears flattening back. Kitten? Where did that come from? Was that what the little creature was called? It felt right. He shrugged, and turned his attention to the kitten now climbing onto his shoulders. She mewing curiously at the new surroundings, pawing at the wood and cloth around them. The light filtering in through the thin cloth made everything have a strange yellowish hue. He lifted the kitten from his shoulders and cuddled her to his chest. She purred at him and nuzzled under his chin.
“Ezio—!” He glanced down at the large being, wondering why it kept making the same noise over and over. The golden being had stopped its frantic circling, and was standing there with its arms crossed. Blue, irritated eyes were boring into him, and he felt something twist inside. He didn’t like that feeling. He murmured to the kitten, gently rubbing his head against hers.
When he looked down from his perch, the large being was gone. A startled whine escaped, ears pressed so flat that they were nearly invisible against his head, and he felt the unsettling sensation of panic take over. Where did he go? He...he was always close by, blue eyes watching him carefully whenever he did something. The whine grew in volume and he tightened his hold on the kitten. She hissed in protest, now squirming in his arms.
He mewed back in apology, and carefully placed the kitten back into the cloth he wore. A leg swung out, and slowly he climbed down, wincing as the kitten dug her claws into skin. He ignored it, only wanting to get back to the floor. He wanted to find him, absolutely needing to reassure himself that the other hadn’t completely left. He didn’t want to be alone...
Finally he’d made it to the floor, and the kitten, tired of being carried in the stuffy cloth, squirmed up and and back onto his shoulder. He once again pulled her down and cuddled her to his chest as he began searching the room. The larger kitten – no, that wasn’t right....cat? The cat curled around his ankles, and he bent down to also scoop her up. She purred at him, half pulling herself up to rest her forepaws on his shoulder.
He found the large being at one of the tables, scribbling things down in one of those strange blank, bound things. One hand practically flew over the inside of the thing, spidery marks and patterns flowing onto the surface, while the other was resting almost absentmindedly on that gold orb. A growl escaped. He didn’t like that thing. It made his head hurt, and didn’t want his large being to be touching it.
A hand reached out and grasped onto the cloth that covered the other, and he tugged on it. Nothing, not even a twitch away from that orb. He tried again, tugging more forcefully, nearly spilling the kitten onto the floor. Again, nothing. Why was he ignoring him now? Did he do something wrong? Was it because he climbed up there and didn’t come down when he was called?
“Hnnnnn~!”
He let go now, dropping the cat and kitten onto the floor. He turned and sprinted to the next room, burying himself into the pile of soft pillows and blankets that made up the nest he’d built in the corner.
