Technically, when their nosed touched like they did, it was a kiss- said some humans.. but really, it was just a friendly gesture. Still.. Derek stumbled a little and sat on his butt like a tiny black Garfield. Sophie giggled and slowly lowered herself to eye-level with the smaller cat. She blinked and glanced at Pedro when he mewed at her, as if asking if they could take him home. Derek cocked his little head to the side, and he lightly swatted at the larger orange cat, with a more annoyance to his 'mew'. 'You sneaky little-- wha?' He became questioned when he felt gentle arms slowly wrap around his small frame.

Sophie carefully and slowly lifted the stray into her arms. "Shh..it's alright, really- just stay the night and if you don't like it.. you're free to leave.." She cooed softly, trying to calm him. Derek growled and swatted a paw at her, managing to scratch her arm ad bit her finger rather hard. She winced slightly, but only stared at him with caring dark aqua eyes. "C'mon, Pedro and I want to see you safe- even just for one night.." She said softly. He released her finger from his teeth and licked the spot where to bit her, agreeing to go home with them. Smiling, and nodding at Pedro she began to walk home. Her arms still wrapped around the smaller cat as they walked.
