He was certain that some were just living it UP hearing Professor Williamson call him by his first name. Know who was not one of those people? If you guessed anyone other than one EIJI Rasting then...well...anyway.
Cheeks flaring red and feeling almost as though steam were going to come out of his ears, he managed a TIGHT lipped smile at the professor and then the cat...on the ground...that had now rolled on to its back acting as though it were expecting a rub and was utterly ignoring the feathered toy in his hand. That wasn't even the worst of it...both Nina AND Missa were...NOT CHOOSING HIM?!
......what was this rubbish?!
The look on his face was surely one both girls would relish in and, frankly, he did deserve it for being a pompous jerk in the heat of the moment but he had never in his WILDEST dreams imagined this scenario. And then of course the man himself had to point out that they were working together and could move to the course. Know were Eiji was? Still here with his stupid overweight kneazle that had now rolled over again and was nuzzling his shoe like it was its long lost lover.
"....come oooooooooooooooon," he pleaded with the thing, waving the toy more and more frantically in its face...but it still cared not. In fact...it just wanted to purr and drool all over his shoe now. "....bloody hell." He was even frustrated enough to mutter a few CHOICE words of Japanese under his breath. His mother would not have approved.
Then Eiji was struck with a thought...though it was a little TOO late as he had been focusing on only the obvious bribing points of various cat toys...and slowly began side stepping his way towards the course. As he had hypothesized, the dumb thing flopped like a seal on land until its chin was perched on his shoe again. Another couple of steps...more flopping.
Eiji had quite LITERALLY just reached the course when Professor Williamson said they were done. Great. Just GREAT. He hadn't even STARTED and it was all this black kneazle's doing. He looked down to glare at it...but it didn't care. It was still with its head flopped on to his shoe, drooling, and now the paws were clawing at his pant leg. Or...well...doing that thing that cats do when their being affectionate and kind of massaging.
Guess he had THAT going for him, his kneazle was obsessed with him.
And why was there a fox here? Also...why weren't any of the kneazles flipping out by the fact that there was a fox here? Didn't like...predators get some sort of way about other predators?
....whatever. His focus was a little elsewhere as his kneazle's claws sunk into his shin while it was showing him all the love and adoration in the world. Maybe he ought to use this time to collect a bit of kneazle drool - he certainly did not feel like answering the question being posed. He WOULD like to get a closer look at those wampus cat, however.
...maybe he could collect a wampus cat whisker by the end of this? They would be great additions to any speed or strength potion...along with help provide some interesting additions to some of his alchemy processes.
