No!" Sollux had gone to hide behind the washer when the doorbell rang and was refusing to come out.
Nepeta peered in. "Shy?"
"Jus' a little."
She shuffled over and crept down by the washer. She pulled a treat out of her backpack. Sollux peered up at her, coming towards the treat slightly.
"Come on. I won't hurt you. See?" She held out her hand. He sniffed her before eating the treat and crawling into her lap. "Aww he's so cute. And soft." She pet Sollux's hair, causing him to purr his buzz-sounding purr.
"He hasn't molted yet," Eridan responded.
She nodded. Sollux had made himself comfortable in her lap. She ran her fingers along the slowly healing burns, cuts and bruises. Sollux dug his claws into her pants when she prodded one rather forcefully. "That hurt'th!"
"I'm sorry!" She pulled her hands back and he quickly calmed down. "Feisty too," she commented. Eridan giggled. "Have you taken him to the vet?"
"'Fraid not."
"Hm. Well I would highly recommend it but he seems to be getting along fine."
Sollux had fallen asleep in her lap. She glanced at her watch. "I should be going."
Eridan lifted Sollux out of her lap. "It wwas nice to meet you Nep."
"Nice to meet you too!" She waved before letting herself out of the house.
