I could tell that Kellan was annoyed when he came in and saw us playing with BeBeAte. His face was usually flat and expressionless, but his eye was twitching. Coy's eye used to do that when he was annoyed with a commanding officer. He knew that if his face physically changed he would get punished which resulted in his eye twitching.

"What. Is. That?" Kellan seethed.

"We found him on the streets. He needed a home. And food." Poe said.

"It needs to leave. You have no idea how many diseases that thing might carry." Kellan said.

"We're taking him to the vet tomorrow after he's well fed. Oh I forgot to ask, can you go get something for him to eat? He's only had milk."

Kellan took a deep breath. "Of course Mr. Dameron." He said as he quickly walked out of the apartment.

"Poe-"

"It's okay Finn. Kellan will get over it. Besides, he's only temporary. General Organa said that he was just here to help me get settled in."

I sighed. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

BeBeAte butted my knee begging for attention. I couldn't believe Kellan would ever want to get rid of anything so extremely innocent and adorable. Poe leaned forward and picked up the little cat and cuddled him close to his chest.

"He's the most precious little thing. Tomorrow after his shots we have to go out and get...cat stuff." Poe said, tickling under his chin.

"He's certainly cooperative for a stray." I said.

Almost on cue, the little cat bit down on Poe's finger. Poe yanked his hand away from his chin.

"Too soon?" I chuckled.

"Much."

BeBeAte let out a small "mew" and looked at Poe with sad eyes.

"It's okay, it didn't hurt that much." Poe said, scratching his ears.

BeBeAte leaned forward and licked the part of his finger where he'd made the small puncture. I sighed. So I guess this was life now. Lazing around with Poe and stray cat we found on the streets. I'm not saying that it's bad or anything, I just expected a little more when Poe told me to stay with him.

"What's wrong?" Poe asked.

At first I thought he was talking to the cat, but when I looked up he looking at me.

"Are you talking to me?" I asked.

"I don't see anyone else." Poe said.

Sure enough BeBeAte was gone. He'd probably wondered off to explore his new home. I hope he doesn't scratch up any of of the sheets.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"You don't seem that way. Are you sure?"

"Well...I was kind wondering if we were ever gonna do something other than just stay here." I said.

"Well...I mean..." Poe gestured to his leg.
