Cross post from AO3!! Cover art is by me - His ears perked up at a strange scuffing sound near his door. He excitedly headed towards it; was it the same black cat he had seen earlier this week? He left food out for her each morning, but it was rare for her to make an appearance. But he assumed it had to be her, the dish was always empty the next day. The scraping was followed by a quick few timid knocks on the door. Definitely not the cat, unless she had suddenly evolved. Sebastian took the last few steps before unlatching the lock and taking a look at his new visitor. Standing in his doorway was, to put it lightly, the filthiest looking child he had ever seen.
