Pedro reeled backwards, his tail flicking about madly as he scrunched up, trying to make his large body appear smaller in the face of Derek's irritation. "But..." he whined, not sure why the other cat was upset with him when he just wanted to share something amazing. Flicking his ears around, he heard Sophie approach again and glanced over, then back at Derek as if asking for help with this baffling situation. Of course, the human wouldn't understand Derek's cat behavior better than him though. As she opened the can of food, he watched it with rapt eyes, but stayed away. "See, I told you my human was nice. Hey, I'll be back later. Play with me!" he meowed again, voice going high with excitement. Finally, he turned to rush after Sophie, only hesitating to look back at Derek after he'd reached the end of the alley. He really did want to stay, but he didn't want to disobey his human either.
