[It's Tadashi's child???? Stop??? What do you want from him, he doesn't speak cat.
Mikasa once again asserts her dominance over the other inhabitants of the rover. After chewing and swallowing his dinner like a good cat, Mochi takes the opportunity to waddle over to Eren's feet where it seems to be safer. Hops up onto the bunk beside him to nudge for attention. Eren bats him away when he tries to climb into his lap, but Mochi seems content to settle in next to him.]
Doesn't it belong to one of the others?
[Hei seems more likely to eat it than anything, so yeah, his money's on Tadashi. The point is when the hell did this cat become his responsibility.]
I think it's Tadashi's. [ Because yeah, her line of reasoning is pretty similar to Eren's.
She wanders over to sit at Eren's other side once her hands are watched, staring at the cat with mild interest. Mochi is pretty satisfied with what meagre (non-existent) attention Eren is showing him, purring contently and kneading his claws into the blanket of the bed.
When Mikasa turns to Eren again, it's with a triumphant quirk to her lip. ]
[Probably because Eren didn't forcefully shove food in his mouth, Mikasa. (Well, maybe it's a thing he can relate to. Common ground.) He can feel the low rumble of purring against his leg, a weird domesticated-cat thing that he isn't too used to. He casts a glance back at Mikasa, then reaches over to scratch the top of Mochi's head. Having an animal around is weird, but it's not necessarily bad, when it's not being a pain in the ass. Though—]
Where the hell did it come from?
[Smaller, more friendly, and more familiar than the bahari. Definitely wasn't a wild thing that wandered into the rover.]
[ As far as she knows, they hadn't received any supplies or item requests, though she has no idea if it's even possible to ask for a cat. There certainly aren't any cats native to Macha as far as she can see, so she can only assume it had to have come from Tadashi's homeworld one way or another.
Oh. ]
Maybe the portals? [ They'd been spitting out items all over the camp, though nothing living that she'd heard of. ]
[(He frowns, thinks back to Ajna, to the strange and sudden vacation he'd taken from the mission. Fallen through the ground and back to Karanese and come back a few days later. The portal he'd fallen through that time—)
As strange as it seems...it makes about as much sense as anything else. The first things that they'd seen come through the portals had been living, after all. (The monster, the harpies.) So it must be possible. As if in agreement—]
They're dumping junk all over camp. [So why not a cat, apparently. Purring contentedly at his side while Eren absently scratches its head and puzzles over its existence, Mochi doesn't seem much worse for wear for the experience, at least. There's a collar and a bell around his neck, but if there's a nametag, neither of them could read it anyway.]
