The owl nested itself in the hair of its new human, hooting and staring at Kadachi through wide eyes.
Met chuckled. "Er, yeah, I noticed."

"Aww, that one in particular likes you, it seems. He's a newbie, and a bit shy, so I was wondering if they'd ever warm up to everyone," Kadachi said with a warm smile

Met's gaze flitted up in an attempt to look at his new friend. "Er, yeah, he does, huh? Do you know why?"

"They're mind readers, so I suppose it's only natural for one to gravitate towards the human equivalent," Kadachi answered with a sweet smile as he went to pet the owl gently

"Oh," was Met's shy reply as he reddened in the cheeks. The owl shrunk back a little to continue watching Kadachi, one of its eyes trained on his eyes and the other two on Kadachi himself.

Kadachi smiled and gently rubbed the owl's head with two fingers before moving them away, knowing the owl probably wouldn't want to be pet a lot. The flying snake had leaned over to begin nudging at Met's hand, curiously licking it

Met jumped a little and looked down at the snake, looking absolutely confused but amused nevertheless. The owl relaxed from its tense state, cuddling back into Met's hair.
"So– er… what will happen to the owl once we leave?" Met asked after his small jump.

"Well, usually I leave the animals to their own little areas. They have specially delegated ones that they can't leave unless someone's here to make sure they don't misbehave. But they're really too sweet to do anything wrong, we just have a few troublemakers here and there," Kadachi said with a small chuckle

Met blinked a couple times and shook his head. "I mean like… he's not attatched to me, is he? He won't get sad if I move him off before I go?"
The minute owl hooted softly and burrowed deeper into Met's hair.

"Uh…I guess he is gonna get sad a little from the looks of it…" Kadachi said, smile faltering a little as he watched the little owl burrow into Met's hair. "Well…If you're worried you could always stay the night? My apartment's up close to the top of the building," he said with a small smile

"O-oh. I can stay. I will stay if it helps him. I don't want him getting sad," Met fretted over the owl, reaching up to stroke its head gently.

"I'm sorry for this, the animals just…have their ways," Kadachi chuckled awkwardly, rubbing at the back of his neck while the snake licked his cheek

The owl hooted softly but let its head be stroked gently.
"Hey, that's okay," Met said with a shrug. "I'm off tomorrow, too."

"I'll make it up to you, I promise. I'll make breakfast and coffee and everything tomorrow, on me," Kadachi said with a small smile, just ignoring the snake's insistent licks

(I just thought of the dumbest thing h e l p
Literally the only reason my tired brain thought the snake was doing that was because it was telling Kadachi it was helping him get laid xD)

Met shook his head hastily, raising his hands. "No, you don't have to worry about that. I don't want you worrying 'bout feeding me."

(lmaooo oh my god)

"No, no, I insist, please. It's okay, the least I can do is give you a little food," Kadachi insisted, even subconsciously giving Met puppy dog eyes while the snake now stuck its tongue out at Met cutely

(I need he l p)

Met looked down at the snake, wondering what its deal was. He looked back up at Kadachi and sighed, putting his hands down. "Okay, fine. I guess." The owl hooted softly atop his head, flapping his wings.

Kadachi grinned at that, and the snake wiggled happily before nestling around Kadachi's neck again. "Thank you," he hummed with a wide, almost child-like grin

"So, what will we do all night?" Met asked with a small head-tilt. He was reminded of what he would have to do for night-clothes, but decided he wouldn't worry about it until later.

"Well, I could show you some of the gardens. You said you liked insects, and there's a small glass dome at the very top that we keep the garden and insects and such," Kadachi suggested

"Oooh, that would be nice," Met said with a smile, looking outside. "But it is dark. Unless you have fire-flies, we will not be able to see anything." Secretly, Met hoped they had the bright little bug.

"We have all sorts of fireflies, as well as lamps and such for the gardens. This is partly a magic store, remember?" Kadachi said with a small grin

Met grinned back, nodding. "Nice. Well, I'd love to see it. Is it nice, at this time in the evening?"

"In my opinion, when it's darker is the best time to see it," Kadachi answered, his smile only widening now as he looked up at Met, the snake now licking his chin again

Met smiled a bit wider and straightened in his posture after realizing he was slouched. "Let's go, then. It'll be great."
