[It's a warm, sunny day and Gladio is sat outside of the bar on a break.

There's a tiny kitten on his shoulder and when he lifts his communicator up to his face and grins, he makes sure his little girl is in the shot.]

Morning, everyone. [His grin widens] Hope I'm not bothering y'all on this pawsome day. But I was just sitting here, feelin so furtunate to be in this amazing city then I realise, hey, I've not introduced Azzy!

[He gestures to the kitten on his shoulder, wiggling a finger at her which she tries to bat at and mewls when he removed it out of her way. She might have only had little claws but he didn't want them stuck in his index finger.]

My new best furend! [The grin is barely held in laughter at this point.] Don't you think she's purrty? She's a real glamourpuss, but I blame Tony's influence there.

I just wanted to show her off and we wanted to say hi, make sure everyone was feline good after the craziness of last month. [He did laugh now, he was pushing it to cringer levels but he couldn't stop.]

Purrhaps I'll stick around here, if anyone wants to meet Azzy. She likes making new furends.

Haven't you already?

[He just grins.]

Or you getting jealous?

[runs_on_batteries]

You’ve got to be kitten me. That’s just a claw-ful accusation.

[He chuckles as he gets two beers from the replicator.]

Care for some meow mix out there or just a beer?

[callmegladio]

HAH those are so bad, I love it. Now get out here with the beers. And if there are more kitty treats...?

[Azzy deserved all the treats. She was going to be one very pampered pussycat.]

[runs_on_batteries]

So demanding.. I like that.

[He laughs and also grabs a small bowl of fake fish bits. Thank god kitty liked them.

When he came outside, he gives Gladio a kiss before sitting down.]

Did you know your friends have Eos meat and didn't tell us?

[callmegladio]

[Gladio had moved Azzy to his lap by the time Tony joined him, and smiled, head tipping for the kiss and his hand lifting for his beer.]

I knew they had. You've not checked our replicator yet, huh? I got a few upgrades myself.

[runs_on_batteries]

[Tony gave Gladio a suspicious look as he picked up a treat and held it out for Baby Azzy.]

Checked it for what? What did you do?

[He knew whatever his partner did, it was going to be something good but he had to mess with him a little.]

This mean you're cooking tonight?

[callmegladio]

Sure, I can cook tonight.

[He grinned down at Azzy as she went for the treats Tony held out to her, wobbling her way across his lap to reach his hand and holding onto his fingers with her little paws.]

Think you'll like it.

[runs_on_batteries]

What exactly is 'it'? Maybe I'll add a few of mine too.

[He smirked as he pet Azzy with one of his fingers.]

You used to be so shy and now you're letting me put my hand in your lap and pet your kitty in public. Things have certainly changed around here.

[callmegladio]

That'll be telling...

[Gladio had to take a second to just look at Tony when he said that and debated whether he should just reach over and smack him, instead he rolled his eyes.]

I was never shy.

[runs_on_batteries]

[Tony gives Gladio a quizzical look, but then Azzy grapples his finger wrapping herself around it. He looks down and laughs. He leans down closer.]

I'm sorry, princess. We weren't giving you enough attention, were we? It's your other daddy's fault.

[callmegladio]

Don't blame me. I've been keepin her entertained all day.

[She'd been riding on his shoulder for most of it. Not that he'd minded in the slightest. She'd been good company.]
