[ it's been a day and unfortunately nico is still here. he would love to be here less? but it seems like nothing has really changed.
on this lovely saturday nico can be found in the kitchenette. he seems to be making a bagel and spreading a little jam on it. he's not wearing the pikachu onesie anymore, at least, but rather he's back in his usual clothes. black jeans. black and white sneakers. black bomber jacket. black shirt with a skull on it at least once. it's a very specific aesthetic.
his back is facing the doorway though and it's why he doesn't realize someone is there immediately. instead, tama hears the tail-end of a sentence. ]
--been over this. I don't want to put cream cheese on it. [ this is followed by a pleading, almost purr-like chirrup. ]

[ owo what's this? ]
Cream cheese on what?
[ she is just
appearing here. this is completely in the hopes of catching a glimpse of whatever he's talking to, but with the wiggle room that he's, y'know, talking in public so he can't get mad. probably.
she's also in her normal clothes now, so-- hey! black clothing buddies! ]

[ surprisingly he actually doesn't seem like he has anything to hide. he hears her, and he turns his head just enough to see who it is before there's recognition in his eyes. right. they met the day before. normal clothes are such a blessing. ]
Bagel. We've been having a discussion about it.
[ the "we" makes itself very obvious as a small creature the size of a cat climbs up onto nico's shoulder to turn and peer at tama with glowing white eyes. its cat-like ears swivel a little, shadow-pawsies kneading into nico's shoulder as it balances and stares at her. ]

[ that's fair, sometimes you discover a teenager is actually a single dad. he doesn't mind her staring, but he is finishing spreading jam on a bagel half for himself. ]
It's not that picky, usually, but I've been trying to find out what it likes best.

[ it is close enough she can touch! she may be surprised that it actually doesn't feel like fur. now that she's able to get a better look, the creature looks more...shadow-y than anything. wispy, if you will. touching it is a little akin to petting smoke like a velvety sort of nothingness.
nico continues with the bagel-prep on the other half while the baby blinks at tama with its glowy-eyes, chirping a greeting. ]
Mine were, too. But it was sleeping on them and didn't feel like moving by the time I wanted to leave to explore the hotel.
[ he really could stand to say that this creature is his home item, but he figures there's no point in stating what he thinks is obvious. ]

[ she is scritching the “fur” like it’s just straight up real fur. who’s a good baby. who’s the cutest little probable creature of the underworld? is it you? is it you?? yes it is. ]
Ohhh you are definitely not a regular cat, huh? [ she says, unbothered. in her lane. fussing this baby. ]
So you had to resort to bribery, and it’s being fussy about it. It’s not into bagels, then?

[ it shuffles a little shyly on nico's shoulder but it does allow the scritches, tentatively. ]
It only looks cat-like, even if I'm not really sure why. I tried to offer it a bagel earlier and it didn't like it, so now we're trying a bagel with something on it. It's usually not picky, but...I think maybe it's lonely. Usually it sticks close to its siblings.
[ who also stick close to nico, but whatever. ]

What is it then, if it’s just— cat-like, not cat? [ she’ll ease up a little when it wiggles awkwardly. ] I mean, it’s cute either way, even if it is being food fussy.
[ hmmm. ]
Did the preserved stuff you were hoarding include anything like canned meat or fish?

[ that gets him to pause. it's...hm. he's not sure how much he wants to explain about what it is, all things considered. but then again, tama is from a world that isn't like his own. so maybe just giving the name is okay. the shadow creature settles again when she eases up, watching her curiously. ]
It's called a cacodemon. [ he figures she won't know what that is, and so it's safe. ] I offered it a chicken salad sandwich yesterday and it seemed a little interested. That was about the best I could do. I don't think it has to follow a cat-like diet either. It's usually happy with sharing my pancakes and everything which is why I was thinking it's probably something else.

[ the baby is curious but not particularly ravenous. it's not strictly a carnivore, but it seems morelike it's interested in food that's new. so the feesh is more interesting to it than the pepperoni right now. ]
And without knowing how long we're really going to be here, we might have our observation period cut short. [ haha. ] Have you met a lot of people here so far?
