[ Of course. A chill cat fits chill Minato.

Truthfully, Shinya's pleasantly surprised that Byakko so readily lets her join in. The big cat is (both like and unlike him, in a way) rather aloof or downright disinterested in others thus far, so this is a rare but adorable sight. His own smile is a bit more obvious than Minato's, growing even wider when he catches that rare glimpse of happiness on Minato's face.

He shrugs, looking a little guilty. ]

I'm not sure. But the very first day, Byakko wouldn't stop staring wistfully at some kebabs from a street vendor, and he's just too cute, how could I deny him?

[ Whatever Byakko wanted, pretty much, Byakko got, as long as Shinya was able to somehow rummage up the colle. It's not like they had many expenses here anyway, or as if money here was any good back home.

He puts his finger to his chin thoughtfully. ] I imagine they can eat anything cats back home can eat, no?

[ Maybe it's a cat thing? Big cats are just like domestic cats, except...bigger with more teeth. Right? Right. He's seen the videos online of like lions and tigers sitting in boxes. Clearly it has to be true.

Mmm, but he can't blame Byakko for that. There is some pretty tasty food around town, especially if you know where to look. ]

He does have a face that's hard to say "no" to...

[ No judging, as per usual.

To Shinya's question, he nods, leaning back just a little after he rolls his shoulders. It's been a long day, or at least it feels that way. The air is crisp but the sun is out and it warms the top of his head. Feels nice. Good napping weather, really. ]

At least, yeah. I haven't seen canned cat food, though. Maybe they don't make it here.

You get it, then. Ah, I'm such a sucker for a cute face.

[ Whether or not it was sarcasm on Minato's part, Shinya totally agrees. Nevermind that to anyone sane, the tiger looks terrifying rather than cute. Though he's doing a pretty good job of being cute right now, sitting back and letting Melon Bread eat the rest of the food on her side. ]

If you have any tips on how to get Byakko to stomach the cafeteria food, I've love to hear them sometime. Or cat tips in general, really. I've never had a real pet before.

[ Growing up Hiiragi meant that he'd missed out on a lot of normal childhood experiences, to say the least. He watches Minato lean back and relax. ]

Long day?

[ That is one thing that Minato respects about cats. They just do whatever they want and get whatever they want because they're cute. They've got it down. How can someone not think that's awesome? Of course he likes dogs, too, Koromaru is the best example of any dog, really. But cats...yeah. Napping and eating. Good choices. Living the dream. All nine lives of it.

Minato exhales through his nose. Tips? He's never had a pet before, either. Koromaru doesn't exactly count. He's a member of the team. (That and he mostly just took Koro out on walks.) ]

Mm... [ A quiet hum, that sometimes take place for actual answers from him. ] I used to feed a cat in an alley. But that's about as close as it gets.

[ That, and Elizabeth told him to do it. He'd felt bad for the cat before, regardless.

Another quiet huff as he shifts his gaze to look at Shinya. ]

I guess I'm just kind of tired.

[ But he's always kind of tired. ]
