[ And because we can, Meowy is showing up around the corner, apparently having went out to take a walk in the sun and later came to find his owner. He trots in closer and Power doesn't hesitate to scoop him up, holding his fat ass close. ]
I found him in the woods. He was a pathetic little creature when I first saw him.
I just think they're easy. I can only get along with cats, really. And they like me, too. They don't hide anything, and Meowy and Ritty at least, are good companions to sleep at night with.
... Of course, that is not a justification for your crude behaviour. I'm glad, at least, that you've tidied up since then.
[anyway.
a memory plays! wow. throughout it all, a heavy sense of guilt and shame—for so many reasons—permeates. a terrible, sinking feeling in one's stomach, like everything is going wrong.]
[ Oh, yikes. That's weird. Power's not one for feeling emotions like that, since they don't come naturally to her -- so feeling it, so true and honest and real, is really the most armour-piercing part of the entire memory. The pain of being hit, she can handle. The madman's ramblings and the shocked horror/disgust of those around them, she doesn't fully understand.
But the emotions...
She blinks once, a distinct look on her face as she tries to shake it off. ]
[ She just rubs at the area where he was hit in the memory. No lasting pain, no bruise... but when it's a memory and a significant one, the sensation lasts. ]
Hmm. I guess that's fair. [ SHE JUST GOING TO ADMIT THAT STRAIGHT UP. ] Most devils don't care to ask if humans are okay -- if anything, we'd prefer seeing them suffer, actually.
But I like it when it's funny, and that didn't seem funny.

rochalizo has no desire for a pet, but the simple affection here is something he's almost envious of.]
Hm. Well, I suppose there's value in keeping the company of a creature who will love you regardless of your faults.

Humans are complicated and kinda a disgusting species. Cats are pretty honest.

I just... wasn't expecting to hear that question from you.

Why not? It felt like it hurt.

But I also think it's very fun. I like being here.
