There was no way Depth Charge was about to go to the courtyard- he might as well have made a round trip to the recreational field and called it returning to the scene of the crime- and so it was off to the sun room he sloped to collapse down onto one of those man-eating sofas. At least the cats were back. He'd only been sitting for a few minutes, stretched out across a two-seater sofa, when one snaked its way across the floor and leapt up onto the cushion next to him, looking up at him presumptuously.
Depth Charge simply raised an eyebrow back. "Seriously?" Soliciting petting from a guy who'd done nothing but wreck the joint last night? He paused, faintly disbelieving- and then reached out to ruffle the cat's ears with an irritated sigh. "Cats really are stupid."
Truth was, all it had done was remind him of another stupid cat- one who'd probably have gotten his problem a lot quicker, though more by way of empathy than intelligence. Primus. What would he say if any one of those slaggers turned up here, huh? Even in another universe he couldn't keep things together. Then again, they'd probably figured that out by now anyway.
