Summary
Xisuma and Scar talk about Jellie
The apartment blew in as a door shut, not loud enough to be a slam but still forceful. Other Jellie was nowhere to be seen as Other Scar placed two grocery bags onto the dining room table. Ren was next, he almost toppled over setting two bags onto his dining room table. A bag of litter and a bag of cat food. Xisuma trailed behind and he stopped, hands on hips.
"What were you thinking , Scar?"
"I can't leave a cat on the street or with a bad owner!" Other Scar stood across from Xisuma, Ren stood somewhat awkwardly next to Other Scar.
"I put in the policy for a reason. We're a close community here, and we need to think of allergies. And if you haven't noticed, none of you are trustworthy with even a houseplant. Animals would be left to neglect or run because someone didn't check if something was open."
"There are foods to stop animals being allergenic. And we own Zyrtec. I'm responsible, X. I can do this."
"He's good with animals, X," Ren added. "They love him at the shelter. The kitten will be fine. If it helps, I can help make sure Scar vacuumed and lint rolls the furniture. We'll find good cat food that helps with allergies."
"Please, a week. You can tell me 'I told you so' if it goes wrong. Please, just give me a chance."
Xisuma narrowed his eyes and tapped his foot. "Fine. One week. Just remember that the cat is your responsibility." He scowled and walked out, managing to softly close the door.
Ren and Other Scar looked at each other, before breaking into smiles and high-fiving. As they laughed, it faded with their bodies. The card was not where they were, but where the (now gone) bags sat on the table. 'VII', 'THE CHARIOT'. Other Jellie sat in a chair while Xisuma, Other Scar, and Ren talked in the card's version of the main room.
"Ready?" Jellie started Scar when she jumped on his shoulder. Scar didn't verbally respond, but he simply touched the card.
