[ Rohan's giving the little jerk scratches behind his ears, because he's learned that he likes it, and it's easy to distract him from the incoming event of being placed in a carrier. Regardless as to how long it would be, he is sure this guy would make a very dramatic scene of it. Cats. He glances towards Reimi. Of course he assumed the moment that the cat trotted over to him that he'd be an active participant in wrangling him. ]
Yeah.
[ Probably. He holds the cat out in front of him, he just seems grumpy to Rohan. But cats often looked a little grumpy to Rohan. Or maybe it was just this one. He looks the cat in the eyes: ]
Ten minutes or less. It's much less than if we were walking home.
[ Rohan is clearly trying to negotiate with a cat. ]
Well, no reason to delay with him. I'd get suspicious personally that something I wouldn't like would be happening at this rate.
Aww, Rohan! You guys have really taken to each other, huh? That's awfully cute...
[She says, as she moves into position to get the cat carrier ready.]
Okay. I'll turn the carrier so the gate is facing up, so all you have to do is put him down into it, okay? Then we'll carefully turn it back horizontal again. On three, yeah? One...two...three!
[ Rohan attempts, if only for a brief moment, to act tsundere about the cat. Of all things. A cat whoo he totally doesn't adore and hasn't picked out that he's the favorite of Rohan's. ]
I guess so.
[ Hmmph. But at the count down, he lifts the cat up, and plop down. There's a moment of shuffling quickly, and he can already hear the disgruntled sounds of a cat coming from inside the carrier. ]
I know you're mad now, but next time don't get into something you shouldn't. Curiosity can prove dangerous.
[ As if he has room to talk. ]
Do you need me to grab anything else here before we head home? There's um - food there, too.
[She may still have cats and work on the brain, and thus missed the implication that the food in question may not, in fact, be specifically for the cats, as opposed to for human beings.]
Um...I think that's everything. Let me just do one last walkaround and then I'll lock up on our way out, okay?
...I don't. Though I do have things he can eat. I meant food for you.
[ Oh - Oops. It's fine, it's fine. She'll realize that he made it when they get back home, but for now he'll just leave that part up in the air. He doesn't want to make a big deal of it. ]
Well, you and I. He's a bit of a surprise tonight, so no cat food, but if he needs an extended stay, I'll get him some. Though I doubt a cat would complain about getting something like that daily.
[ He has a sneaking suspicion this cat may never leave, but that's fine. Rohan won't mind the company. He hopes it works out, to be honest. But if not, he knows the guy has a place here. When Reimi says that though - it's not wrong. She is, because he's never actually cared about someone else's happiness. ]
Of course you are.
[ He says it without really thinking about it or trying to stop himself. Like it's simply a fact. That easy. Reimi is special. ]
I mean, not anyone can get me to get them dinner and gets rides on my motorcycle. I have to really like you for that.
[The thing is, he's probably teasing, but maybe he's not. And it's the "maybe he's not" that gets her to blush faintly, hiding a smile behind a bitten lip as she busies herself with making sure that the shop is ready to be closed for the day.
Once finished, she returns and picks up the cat carrier, wrapping the blanket around it to help keep in some of the warm cafe air before they venture out into the cold.]

Aw! That sounds great, Rohan! Thank you...
[It's almost suspicious how unexpectedly nice of a surprise this is. Almost.]
Picking me up from work and having dinner ready...gosh, I must be pretty special or something.
no subject
Of course you are.

Yeah. I'm ready.
