(while apollo may dislike coffee, the smell of it is somehow relaxing and calming. it manages to put him at ease, coupled with the sight of haru greeting him with a smile.

and apollo does not blame her at all for having her priorities in order. cats before people! every time! her head stretches out to gingerly sniff haru's fingers, before giving a few testing licks to see if this human can be trusted through taste.

she can. haru has gained calico's approval, made obvious by the purrs coming out of apollo's sweatshirt.) I couldn't just leave her alone, she's had a rough few months because of me.

(he takes the first few steps inside before sliding his shoes off and pulling calico out of his pockets. once she settles on the floor, she immediately struts off to find her allies.) Don't worry, she's fixed and everything, and she's really friendly, so there won't be any fights.
