[He's actually a little relieved for the change in questions, so he looks back at the kitten. She's still mostly hanging around him, but at least now she seems to take some interest in Tifa, peering up at her every now and then before darting back as if to hide.]

[There's a small frown as he reaches down to lightly scratch the top of her head.]

Given how young she is, I believe she was still with her mother and siblings so she wasn't properly weaned. She's slept between me and Eria the past few nights, but it hasn't been easy.

[Another haggard sigh.]
