[The knock on the door of the one armed Liquid's house probably was unexpected.

That was alright. Liquid could wait. And when the door finally opened, there would be an interesting sight. A Liquid, no longer eyepatched, stood there before the door. His coat was fastened tightly up to his neck and there was an awkward expression on his face. Held gently in his hands, cradled against himself, was a pale gray kitten with big green eyes. It mewed impatiently squirming as if it sensed the awkwardness of the man holding it.]

Perhaps. It was... nice to have. Brother, somehow it also restored not just my sexual hormones but also my mental desire to have it. And- for those three days, I was alone in this room.

...I see. You could have come found me, you know.

I had been told that due to my shifted thought patterns solely due to a body change, I would be alone in the room. I hadn't thought past that. I enjoyed being whole... but it came at a price that Mantis didn't wish to be near me.

...sounds like Mantis is an asshole. So what else is new?

[There was a short bray of bitter laughter at that] It's strange how him being an asshole is familiar and comforting.

Do you like him? [He leant his head back against the back of the couch.]

Yes. [His hand paused on the kitten, looking down at it] Hm. I didn't expect such a simple answer for that question. Yes, I do.

I have to admit, it's surprising but good to hear.

It seems that Mantis has a core that doesn't completely hate everyone. It's rather refreshing.

I wouldn't have believed it until I came h ere, but I'll take your word for it.

It's strange, as well. I hadn't thought about relationships past simply taking care of the physical urge. Without that on both sides, I find myself a bit... possessive of him.

I barely thought of either. [A low laugh.] How sweet, Brother!

You can desist with the patronising tone, Brother.

Given who it is, I have to wonder when the true psychotic side of him comes back and how that will effect our relationship.

Oh no, I'm really quite amused. How times have changed.

...hm. No one can truly tell that.

Hm. Affection starved as I am, I supposed having any, even from a psychotic psychic, feels like what I have craved.

Shut your mouth. You're not with him because you're attention starved, you're with him because you like being with him.

I won't deny I like being with him. He's rather interesting.

It's the last pairing I would have expected. But I'm happy for you.

After what I know of Ocelot, and how much scheming he's done against us in the future, I'm rather surprised for you pairing up with that young version.

[Liquid shifted uncomfortably. Considering the fact he was bandaged up under his coat after their little fun session following his alternate's leaving? He's not surprised his alternate is surprised.]

That Ocelot has not betrayed me yet.

I rather doubt he will, unless it's part of an elaborate sceme. He's strangely open about his attachment to you.

I doubt he will also. At first, I was suspicious but now... well.

We've been rather lucky in finding a person good for ourselves, haven't we?

We have. It's remarkable. But I think we deserve them.

I hadn't thought those words would be possible before h- kitten, don't even think of jumping down from here.

[And he scooped up the about to pounce on something imaginary on the floor kitten]

I can't keep it, you realise. I'm not a particularly paternal type, and neither is Mantis. I have no care to keep a pet as it is.
