Wide eyed, Pedro watched as Sophie picked up Derek. The cat obviously didn't like it, but she held on anyway. It reminded him of the day Tai first brought him home, so sad and unsure if these humans really wanted him. He'd been optimistic though and it got him everything he'd ever wanted. He hoped Derek could reach that same conclusion as well. ~Don't be angry~ he murmured to the black cat as he followed after Sophie to their home. ~Please stay?~ He'd grown quiet though and stayed that way as they walked. Memories and thoughts weighed heavily on his mind that soft often stopped to rest on those. Was this really okay? He fervently hoped so because even after a few short meetings, he already knew that he liked Derek very much. This was his first true feline friend.
