[ He narrows his eyes. Indeed, the Cat likes to make people think. ]
People scold you if you don't follow "the rules." It's annoying! I can't always do what I want anymore. When you're alone, you make the rules — there's no one around to tell you what to do. I-I mean! I didn't used to have to worry about money, I just had stuff...! I No one kept telling me to go to school all the time. I spent all my time in the sun! Now I'm, like, the bad kid again, even though I know I'm not — which just makes it more annoying.
[ He leans against the wall again, crossing his arms over his chest and looking away, frustrated. Perhaps it's easier to talk to a cat than other kids. Much less adults. He's not particularly concerned with impressing this star-cat, the way he might with any and all of his friends. There's no need to put on airs. It's a cat. ]
