[his mood seems to brighten exponentially when the cat is removed and-- okay, no, he doesn't know felines at all. crobat is the closest thing he has to a cat. which-- the bat in question is still chattering away with persian, likely completely dragging archie and ruining any good standing he had with the panther, any that remained after this... whatever this is.]
That's fair. Gimme a call when ya wanna cash it in.
[he's fairly certain that nanu wouldn't trust him with anything important. not that he-- look, he doesn't want to be known as the guy who's untrustworthy and stupid, but... arceus , nanu's going to make him pick up some shopping or something for him, right? fuck. he should've just let the cat destroy him.]
[Crobat's grumblings are met with Persian's own complaints, ripping on Archie right in front of him. She's certainly not going to be happy to see him next time they meet; this level of petty contempt can only be lowered with bribery and praise. Which...isn't too different from how she normally operates?]
[Whatever he'd want Archie to do isn't apparent. But it probably won't be shopping.]
[That wouldn't be payback enough.]
I will.
[He hefts the cat up with both hands and takes a couple steps backwards without breaking eye contact with Archie, before turning around on one foot and starting his trudge back home. Persian hangs back to finish the searing gossip she and Crobat were in the middle of before giving Archie a spine-tingling glare and trotting back to Nanu's side.]
