[ annabeth will make herself the cat's favorite person or so help her. she leans over and dangles her fingers in front of bob cat's face, and he takes a playful swipe. she practically giggles about it. ]

You trying to use us for free labor?

[ as if hanging out with a cat is laborious. as if she will ever say no to hanging out with this cat. as if she's not already plotting out her first official cat sleepover. she can't even keep a straight face. ]

[ Percy can't help it when his smile widens into a grin, watching Bob Cat and Annabeth interact with each other while he's got the furry feline still comfortably lounging in his arms. ]

Yeah, you know we got day rates, right? And I mean, there's the friends-and-family discount but we're still not going to come cheap.

[ Every last word coming out of his mouth is made invalid with how content he seems to be taking care of said cat right now, in this moment, with his girlfriend. ]

[ Day labor is absolutely the last thing that Cassian was trying to pull off here and he very nearly launches into a protest. But at the very last minute it morphs into a somewhat dead pan look aimed at the pair of them.

A part of him thinks that he'll likely regret asking this, but what can it hurt at this point?

(And if he's being honest with himself if they do end up taking care of Bob Cat while he's out, he'd probably find a way to repay them somehow.) ]

Right. And what does that look like exactly?

[sophos]

[ oh the deadpan look! he really shouldn't have! it's the fuel that simply keeps them going, like energizer bunnies. ]

You have to take into consideration the cost of food too. Bob Cat is a growing boy.

We'll have to confer to really finalize the details, but somewhere in the range of five snacks an hour. [ for them. not the cat. ]

[seaweedbrain]

Yeah. [ Percy nods sagely. ] We'll draw up a whole contract and everything. You can expect to find one mailed to your place of residence in about three to five business days.

[ He has no idea what he's talking about, but the business-y mumbo jumbo sounds kind of convincing at least, right? ]

[ Cassian really should know better by now. But he's out of practice dealing with younger siblings. Something faintly in the back of his mind has him wondering if this is how he and Kerri would have interacted had they had the chance to grow up together. Or would interact, rather as he reminds himself.
As smart of a man as Cassian is he's not about to let old habits die hard. Especially when they seem to be on a roll.

And secretly, a part of him is enjoying this. He lets out a noise of pure skepticism. ] 

Five snacks an hour for each of you and the cat? Or five snacks for both of you to share? 

[ That includes Bob Cat. ] 

[sophos]

[ she puffs an exaggerated sigh. ]

I can't share with him, he eats too much. [ please, cassian, have you see this boy inhale his food? ]

Bob Cat's food supply should be separate, as he is a cat, and I don't know how to break it to you, Cassian, but we people don't eat cat treats or cat food. [ there's your cat fact from annabeth for today. bet you learned something there. ]
