[That... is a big cat. Kariya had been a little wary at first, especially after his prior encounters with animals in this city and back in Fuyuki; they don't like him, and he is quite content to leave them alone in return for the same courtesy. He doesn't blame them for it. The Worms are an abomination of nature, a distillation of predator instinct that eats and eats and eats and eats.
Animals, however, don't always leave threats alone.
He's pleasantly surprised, then, when the cat simply seems to appraise him -- is it a familiar of some sort? -- and crouches to greet it. He'd always got on well with cats, before.
Ironically, Kariya's more hesitant with the man than the cat; he doesn't rise just yet.]
... Hello, Ser Pounce. And-- [to Anders] --I won't take up much of your time. I just need a week's supply of glucose solution, if you have it. If you can't spare it, the Initiative probably can.
[The request doesn't sound quite as harmless as it did in his head -- in fact, it would undoubtedly sound more suspicious if not for the ruined state of his throat, and the halting way in which Kariya delivers it.]
