[action] [pet cafe//backdated to noon]
[ Riku's been fighting against creatures that'd leap up at him and scratch his face off for nearly two years now. he hasn't gone home to his dog in ages, and when he finally did, he ended up back ... here.
so, when he found out about this pet cafe, you'd never get him to admit it, but he was curious. not excited... curious. did they really just let people play with pets here?
but, apparently so. and there Riku sits, on the floor, gently smoothing the head of a beagle puppy, legs crossed underneath him. there has never been a kinder expression on his face than when's watching it toddle off and rejoin its brothers and sisters. sitting back, he feels pretty good--that's a departure from the usual bitterness.
... there's a black kitten about to fall from one of the strutures. saving it from certain peril (even if cats do land on their feet), he holds it carefully and lets it start climbing his shirt.
right. okay, he's not a cat person, but he doesn't... mind... it.
