 [Don't mind what he's got.]

...hey.

[Look! A chance to ignore homework! Charlie's giving Barton all the suspicious looks.]

Whatcha doin'?

[forgothowtomiss]

[No really STOP TRYING TO LOOK girl. He'll show you when he's ready.]

Nothin'.

[He's still in uniform, still has all his gear; he needs to take care of that first, so he'll just be wandering down the hall to his room to drop it off, change...all that good stuff.

Door's open though, after he heads into the bathroom and closes the door behind him when he leaves, minus whatever he had that he was trying to hide.]

[charring]

[That's unfair, Bro. Charlie's nosy, now that she's comfortable with people. She's going to continue with her homework once she discovers whatever the Thing was he was hiding is still very well hidden.]

[forgothowtomiss]

[Ten minutes later he's wandering back out, still nothing in hand. He heads over to the table and takes up residence in one of the chairs opposite.

And waits. One minute, two minutes.

Around minute three something wanders out after him hesitantly, peeking around the corner.]

[charring]

[Charlie catches the movement out of her periphery, turning slightly to look.

And then she sits quietly for a moment. And then looks at the creature fully before looking at Barton in shock.]

Bro, I think you were followed home.

[And she carefully eases herself out of the chair, sitting cross-legged on the floor. She's watching the curious kitten.

And...okay...smiling just a bit.]

[forgothowtomiss]

Maybe? Hadn't noticed.

[Lies. Complete lies.]

[charring]

[She knows. She also can't help but tease anyway.]

You're crap at your job if you didn't notice a kitten following you.

[Said kitten is making his way over to Charlie's waggling fingers, sniffing them before looking up at her.].

[forgothowtomiss]

But he's so tiny, it's easy to lose track. Thought it was just my shadow for a while.

[You two. Just get over it and say hi already.]

[charring]

He's adorable. [And the kitten crawls into her lap, mainly to get at her hair. It's evil hair that has to be vanquished, see, and Charlie's entertained by this.]

Are you keeping him?

[If not, can she?]
