[He just lets out a breath but otherwise doesn't say anything more. He really hadn't intended to stay longer than necessary especially since it's such a sudden visit. Thinking this, his gaze drifts to the mostly packed bag. If he had known she was on her way out... He wouldn't have bothered her... Yet she was still the first person who came to mind.
His thoughts are disrupted when the kitten leans down to bat at his nose. Even if those claws are small they're still sharp dangit.]
Hey, knock it off.
[Just a light chastise as he pokes the paw, telling the kitten to at least pull back her claws if she's going to treat him as a toy. The kitten just mews and continues to paw at him, a little gentler but it's hard for her to control those little claws. After another poke he finally reaches up to pull her off, holding her in his arms as he "counters" by tickling her belly a bit. A move he's only confident in doing so due to his thick leather claws that can withstand the sharp teeth and claws that inevitably attack. Although it sounds like mews of protest Eustace can clearly hear the laughter and smiles a bit. It's clear she's starting to relax and he can only hope she continues to do so.
He only frees her when Tifa asks her question, letting her roll around before letting her bat at his gloved hands.]
No, she doesn't. Some of the other rescuers were calling her "Blackie" but she's not a fan of it.

[A loud mew as if to confirm her dislike.]
