[ Omens, hmm? He's heard a little about those, but it's been quite a bit to take in since he came here. ]

Oh, yes, those are animal companions, are they not? I think that would be similar... Hm, I'm not entirely sure how to manifest it though. I think I heard it has something to do with blood magic - is that right?

[undermoonlight]

Most things here are some sort of blood magic, yeah.

[He can’t say that he’s fond of it. Atsushi’s distrust of the concept is why he hasn’t pursued his own omen yet.

… Well, there’s also the issue of him assuming it will be yet another Tiger. His Dream Guide was a Tiger too. It seems to be a theme for his life.]

Maybe yours would be a cat? Since I don’t know how else to adopt one here.

[And Atsushi thinks that Midori is set on a cat, not that he was making a reference to being lonely.]

[killed]

[ It seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding, but he's willing to play along with it. This is a fun conversation, too. ]

Hm, you're right. It might be hard to find one here... Ah, I hope so! I hope it's a cute black cat, or perhaps a tuxedo, one with white paws and just a bit of white on the chest...

[ He seems quite pleased with this topic. He'd like to loop back around to blood magic, but that seems to be an unsavory topic for many. ]

Do you like animals, Nakajiima-san?

[undermoonlight]

You really like cats, huh..?

[Atsushi hadn't put much thought into what a cat might look like. Cats are cats. He's never been in a position where he could understand the charm of having a pet, so has never looked at cats closely before. They just seem like extra work... and money... which he doesn't have...

He's a bit surprised to be asked about his own preferences, blinking into a startled expression.]

Hmm, well... I've never given it much thought before, but..?

[Atsushi smiles lightly, recalling a memory;] Bunnies are pretty cute, I guess? And cats are. Okay.

... I like fish and chickens? [he likes food.]

[killed]

[ Hm, Atsushi isn't an animal person. That was to be expected after he brought up the omens, but even so it's fun to hear his perspective on the matter. He must not have been around them very often. Did he have a difficult life, or was it just a mere coincidence? Most people at at least a couple that they were attached to in one way or another.

Fish and chickens, hm? He chuckles. ]

I see... Nakajiima-san is a food-motivated person, then? Hmmm... I see, I see...

[ He brings his hand to his chin and bobs his head up and down, as though giving this fact careful consideration. It's just a bit of gentle teasing, really. ]

[undermoonlight]

What? No, I'm not!

[Except that he absolutely is. It's embarrassing to be called out on it in that way, especially when Atsushi recalls the context of the question. He really did just answer "what's your favorite animal" with "chicken nuggets," huh.]

We had chickens at the orphanage, so uh..! That's the closet I've had to a pet, I guess? We didn't eat all of them. Most of them we kept for eggs?

Wh-What about you? Are cats your favorite?
