Erwin was not a cat, like Eren and Armin. His children, however, were. Him and Armin were married, two children already with them and one on the way. Armin was a pureblood neko, being able to be both impregnated and impregnate others. As a halfblood neko, I could only do the impregnation, but not get pregnant./p

Armin stood from the couch and watched as I awkwardly climbed onto it in his place, curling up because if I didn't then I wouldn't be able to fit on the small sofa all the way and my feet would hang off at the knees. The small, blue sofa was soft and comfortable, despite being small. I guess this is a good bed for the night. Armin looked at Erwin, who went to go fetch a blanket. In a moment, Erwin came back down the stairs and draped the big, white blanket over me./p
