"No, It's no trouble. Or at least, I don't intend for it to make any more trouble." So it jumped on the bed and he rolled on it and it hissed and scratched him, which left him in a foul mood. He wasn't going to let a bloody animal get the better of him, but he wouldn't give Cass the satisfaction.
He was about to say something about Guilian and Susan, and the battle, but then he remembered just who he was talking to. He just smiled instead. "I'm sure that whatever Guilian did to get on her bad side was just a foolish mistake on his part." He smirked.
He saw Higgs out of the corner of his eye, and knew he couldn't avoid him all night. Russia had been Russia, and he had put that little... slip of judgement far from his mind.
The pleasant buzz of a few drinks was coursing through his veins, as he sat back on the couch lounging. "You know, I think Daphne's just gone so she can get inside a big cake, and surprise me." That was amusing enough, as he gave Cass a smug and smarmy look.
