((EVERY DAY WE STRAY FURTHER AND FURTHER FROM GOD IN THIS RP I SWEAR-))

“O-oh um..the guy running it died out of nowhere. His death was pretty strange so everyone in the gang kind of fled.” He said quietly, focusing a lot on the cat in his lap instead of Astral.

(^w^)
(We all hate Astral)

Astral's eyebrows lowered a bit.
"Oh..? Simon, why do I have a feeling you were involved..?"

He flinched a bit. “U-um…” He stammered out, trying to come up with an excuse while he instinctively pulled his arm closer to his chest.

Astral let out a soft breath.
"We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. You obviously have your reasons." Astral offered Simon a gentle smile.
"It's okay."

He nodded silently, rubbing his arm absentmindedly. He went back to petting the cat in his lap but he definitely wasn’t as happy as before.

"I'm sorry for asking," Astral said softly. He didn't want Simon to be in a bad mood.

He shrugged. “Not your fault. I shouldn’t have brought it up.”
Simon didn’t like talking about it much. While the relationship didn’t last for very long, it was long enough for over a dozen cigarette burns to be left behind.

Astral looked away a moment. Just how bad had it been for Simon to get this upset? He didn't like the thought of anyone else hurting the man, but it was too late now. The mysterious gang leader was dead.

“They never solved his murder. It seemed almost an impossible way for someone to die.” He said after a bit, growing more comfortable. “All of his bones were broken but on the outside his body looked completely unharmed.”

Astral's eyes widened some.
"Strange indeed… I wonder how the killer managed? It honestly sounds supernatural to me."

“Hmm…I guess you can say that.” He said thoughtfully. “No suspects were ever officially brought in…”

"I'm not surprised. It doesn't sound like there would be anything left behind to suspect anyone." Astral let out a soft breath, continuing to pet the cats.

He nodded. He’d only known about the death when the police had come to search the apartment. And much as he’d hated to admit it, he’d been relieved at the news.

Astral looked around, humming some.
"Have you had enjoyed today so far?" He asked softly, changing the subject.

He nodded, smiling softly. “Thank you for letting me come.”

Astral grinned in turn.
"Of course! We can come back whenever you'd like, kay?" Astral enjoyed seeing Simon this happy.

“R-really?” He brightened up a bit at that, his smile widening. “I would really like that.”

"Good!" Astral was still grinning looking down at the cats a moment.

After a few more minutes, Simon ran out of treats to hand out to the cats. He frowned a bit. “Sorry babies, no more.” He said to one of the cats that was looking for more in his hand.
