Rin hummed as she waved the bristlegrass from side to side, swishing it over the cats. Their heads turned from side to side in rapid motion, eyes tracking the bristlegrass's motion, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. One of them sprang up and latched its paws around her wrist.
"Hey, hey!" Rin frowned at the cat, gently shaking it off. "That's cheating."
The second she had shaken the cat off, another cat decided to walk over to her ponytail and latch onto it.
"No, come on, stop that. No climbing on me." Despite her scolding, Rin was laughing a little.
Kyousuke was watching her from the walkway, leaning on the wall as he rested his chin in one hand. He had a gentle smile on his face as he watched her play with her beloved cats. Seeing Rin enjoying herself and being happy brought him so much contentment.
He hoped that this playful side of her who revelled in playing with cats would never be lost.
