[ Better safe than sorry in this case, and so Tifa doesn't begrudge Cassian hoisting himself up onto the opposite rooftop so that they have all their bases covered.

Although that's impossible, with a cat. They'll always find some corner to scurry into or some other path of escape if they really want to.

Thankfully, Cassian's keeping enough of a distance that the kitten doesn't feel boxed in, and soon enough it climbs right into Tifa's lap to get to the toy and start attacking it again. Its tail whips from side to side as it pounces on its prey.

Now that the cat is well and truly distracted, Tifa glances over to Cassian and nods. If he approaches quietly and without making any big movements, he can probably snatch the cat up once and for all. ]

[ The moment the cat ends up in Tifa's arms again Cassian's body language visibly relaxes. The last thing he wanted to do today was try and leap across the rooftops of Nocwich trying to track down a cat.

But it's not quite over yet. He still has to take the damn thing back from Tifa and bring him back to Thorne with him.

With an ease that denotes he's probably done this a couple of times in his life, he makes his way across the roof to Tifa's side, extending his arms out for the cat. As grateful as he sounds he also wears the look of a weary (cat) dad. ]

Thank you. I might have to call you to cat sit in the future.

[ Tifa does note the way that Cassian approaches, how he manages to keep his footsteps light and avoid making too much sound. It's the sort of thing that Yuffie is capable of, in theory, though it's not often that Tifa would ever think of that girl as quiet.

Once he's close enough Tifa picks the cat up out of her lap and hands it over, smiling when it wriggles but also doesn't put up too much of a fight. It seems like it's gotten enough enrichment by making them chase it around Nocwich.

She laughs as she pushes up to her feet and dusts herself off. It's actually kind of neat to see all of Oleuni Square from up here on the roof. ]

That might be kind of tough if you're not in Solvunn. [ And she's pretty sure he isn't; she's never seen him around the settlement. ] But you're welcome to message me if you have any questions?

[ The kitten seems a little more than chagrined that they've been returned to their weary father's arms. But to Cassian's credit he seems to have gotten a hang of keeping a hold on him now. Even the little pokes and scratches from the kitten seem to go ignored save the odd wince or so. With his new pet sated at least for the time being he turns his gaze out towards the bustling community below. ] 

I'm not. I'm in Thorne. But I could give him to you every other month if you're interested. 

[ Tifa being in Solvunn would explain why he hadn't seen her around. The castle was large but not so large that he hadn't at least become acquainted with the faces of the Summoned. As for whether or not he's being serious about handing off Bob Cat to her every other month - well that mostly seems to be a joke. Mostly.

But for now he offers her a weary lift of his lips. ] 

I will. Thank you for helping me. I appreciate it.
