Summary: Tao keeps meowing at Frankenstein.

New Mission

Talk

"Meeow!" Tao greeted Frankenstein when he returned home, M-21 sitting patiently at the entrance, Frankenstein's slippers already pulled out and ready for him.

"Hello, Tao," Frankenstein said, crouching down to pet the kitten. Tao purred, bumping his head into Frankenstein's hand. "And thank you, M-21."

M-21 wagged his tail, coming forward for pats as well.

Tao climbed up onto Frankenstein's shoulder while he took his shoes off.

"Raauw!"

Frankenstein smiled as he went into the kitchen. "I suppose that means you're hungry?"

"Rauw!"

"You know it isn't time for dinner yet," Frankenstein chided, Tao moving to his other shoulder. "I'll be preparing dinner for Master and myself, but it won't be for you."

Tao's next cry was louder and more piercing, but the kitten seemed content to stay on his shoulder, so long as Frankenstein obliged him to at least sniff the ingredients he was holding.

"Raah!"

"Yes, yes," Frankenstein said, walking around the kitten, who was trying to twine between his legs as much as possible, "I have your dinner. But if-"

"Raauw!"

"-you don't let me walk, I can't give it to you." Though there was the distinct possibility that both Tao's and M-21's dinner could end up on the floor if Tao continued and Tao wouldn't care, so long as it was close enough to eat.

"Raauw! Raauw!"

Frankenstein stopped when M-21 ducked in and grabbed Tao between his jaws.

"Weeeeeh!"

"Ah, thank you."

M-21 huffed as he walked alongside Frankenstein, his ears perking up when Frankenstein petted his head.

Once Frankenstein had put both their bowls down did M-21 set Tao on the floor again. Tao dashed for his bowl, and even between mouthfuls he was still meowing.

Maybe now it would be a little quieter.

Tao patted Frankenstein's ankle as he gave Master his post-dinner tea. "Meow!"

Frankenstein looked at the kitten, who just looked back at him and then cried out again.

"Rauw!"

Hm. He'd fed Tao and the water fountain was still running, he'd played with Tao and his litter box was clean. "Have I forgotten something?"

Tao patted him again. "Raaaauw!"

Amusement through Master's link. Yes, he must have forgotten something very obvious, but what?

"He likes talking with you," Master said, sipping his tea.

Ah. Of course. Chuckling, Frankenstein knelt down so Tao could jump up into his arms. "How was your day today?"

"Mraow-rah."

"Really?" Frankenstein said, scratching Tao's skull. Tao purred, pressing into the touch. "What did you do then?"

"Raaoh prrt."

"I see. I hope nothing was knocked over because of that."

"Raaaow!"

Master's amusement increased as he continued his conversation with Tao. It didn't seem like Tao would be quiet for too long, but Frankenstein had gotten used to noisy children being in his home.
