Someone's cat had kittens. We took him in when he was old enough to be raised away from his mother. He's always been quite shy by nature.
[the word we slips past his lips without thinking, and he moves instead to the doorway that leads to the kitchen. the cat, meanwhile, looks at the hand warily, sniffing the air - his tail flicks in an unsure fashion.]
[unfortunately, Dantes doesn't have that much wisdom when it comes to making Enkidu's coffee. in the kitchen, he pours two cups - one made to his fashion, the other with double the amount of milk and sugar he thinks might be reasonable to ask for in coffee. not suffocatingly sweet, but quite.
bringing the cups back, he sets Enkidu's on the table, staying standing for now.]
Ignatz. His name is Ignatz.
[and the little one is eyeing Enkidu with a stare and settling down where he is. he's slowly warming up.]
[Enkidu cocks their head a little, a thoughtful expression appearing on their face. They let the cat sniff their hand and finally they reach out again, trying to scratch its ear.]
That is a strange name. Why not call it Bubble? Or Furry Friend?
[Then they shake their head. No, this cat definitely isn't an Ignatz. And the coffee is nowhere sweet enough because Enkidu pulls a face after one sip.]
Ah...ah, not enough sugar...and a severe lack of milk.

What do you prefer to drink, Lancer?

Enkidu. You can call me Enkidu. I am not fighting in a Holy Grail war. And I like coffee but with a lot of milk and sugar.
[Best is just giving them the sugar and milk and let them choose the dose.]

[the cat has taken advantage of the confusion to scurry closer to Dantes instead, tucking himself under Dantes's chair.]
