Akiyama, having been stacking books a few isles over, peeked his head around the corner as he witnessed the end of the woman's tirade. Seeing the small cat sitting near the doorway, Akiyama chuckled as he thought to himself, 'That's what the commotion was all about? A small kitten? And here I thought it would be something at least a bit mangy. It's well kept, I wonder what the problem was..' he finished musing to himself as neared the kitten. "Hey there kitty. What's a small thing like you doing scaring off all my customers hm?"
Picking up the small kitten, he checked around for a collar as he asked more to kitten than anyone, though he knew he wouldn't get an answer, "Where's your master, huh little kitty? Did you follow your owner into the shop? Well, I don't see a collar. So let's get go over to the register so your owner will know you're here when he or she checks out, and will be able to claim you, shall we?"
Picking up the small kitten, Akiyama took the small kitten to the register and placed her on the counter, "Now you be a good kitty and stay here, alright? I don't need to have to clean up a mess you made. I just have to go finish stocking that shelf and I'll be back, alright?"
Caressing the kitty's head once more, Akiyama chuckled as he headed for the shelf to finish stocking the shelf with fiction novels as he muttered to himself, "Jeeze, now I'm talking to cats as if they can understand me. I really have been in this shop too long," he added with a soft chuckle before beginning his work once more.
