"Hi, I need affection." Zerxes is about to reply, from where he leans against the doorway. A second later though, there's a shuffling noise, and then Zephyr's lap is full of a large cat. Elswyth shoots him a look that seems too smug for a cat, as she lets Zephyr cuddle with her. At this point, he thinks both females are trying to annoy him. He sighing, coming further into the room to settle in the chair beside them, staring back at the giant cat that seems to challenge him with her eyes.

He didn't understand why they got stuck with the big cat somedays, but he was sure it was to see just how much he could take before blowing up. Wasn't she meant to be Daevaris' companion, not theirs? He can hear the quiet coos coming from under the lump of fur and just shakes his head.

"I never stood a chance did I?" His question is left unanswered and he groans leaning back into the chair.
