[It's been a while since the zombie attack. After having died, Roxas has been nowhere to be found. Even now his living space has sat empty, and if anyone had attempted to call his phone they would have gotten a recording about the number not being in service.

Roxas hardly knows what to do with himself when he returns. The hallway is vaguely familiar to him at first, and there's a growing sense of needing to get to a particular door. He trots toward it slowly, stopping now and then to look in all directions, as if a zombie might pop out of the darkness.

He can't knock, so some persistent scratching will have to do.]

[If one kitten was a surprise, how does Riku feel about two? As soon as the door opens there's a shot of brown darting inside to pounce on Serein from behind.]

[She jumps a little at the sight of a second one, but she can easily guess who this is just based on his fur color. Serein jumps too, looking happy and playful as she tries to twist around to get him.]

[Aside from the color, they're twins down to the last stripe. Sora even has a matching collar and name tag. He leaps into the air after Serein's tail as she turns, flailing wildly at it with every bounce.]

[Riku shuts the door before either of them can make an escape, and Serein turns several times before flopping down on the ground to paw and nose at Sora.]

[This one is peering out from under the couch, his full attention on the two in front of him. Sora's practically dancing in front of Serein, racing up to tap her face then dart back again. The third time it happens there's an orange streak racing across the room to crash into the other kitten, sending the both of them rolling.]

[Serein rolls and flops over onto her side to watch them, completely used to small speedy active things thanks to her not-so-recent-anymore litter. Riku's just trying to keep them away from her toes at this point, and quickly darts over to climb onto the couch.]

[The kittens look ecstatic. Roxas has forgotten all about Serein, too busy racing after Sora as they chase and pounce each other crazily. He may not have been much aware at all of what's happened to him before, but the sheer joy in their actions is sparked by something more than simply having a playmate.]

[Something definitely seems different about what they're doing. Riku pulls her feet up on the couch as well, folding them under her as she watches them go. It's pretty heart-warming.]

[Sora finally pounces Roxas up against the front of the couch, pinning him down. They're both breathing hard, then start licking at each other in the same moment. Cats don't normally purr while interacting with each other, but these two seem to be on full volume.]

[If she didn't think standing up would set them off again she'd go get her phone so she really could record this. But she'll settle for the memories, draping across the side of the couch so she can watch them, and maybe reach down and poke one of them in the side.

Nah. She's gonna go for a kitten bottom. Poke.]

[Sora's butt raises instinctively, then he rolls over to bat at Riku's hand. Roxas shakes himself and starts scaling the couch, preferring to have some distance between himself and the dog still. He's hungrier than he was before after burning off all that energy, and is going to loudly tell Riku all about it.

Sora echoes him a moment later, still flopped on his back with his paws up defensively.]

[She pokes a couple more times, batting or no batting, and uses her other hand to pick Roxas up and hold him up against her chest.]

What now?

[Roxas flops against her, nosing up under Riku's chin before complaining again. If he's close enough, she's going to feel him attempting to suckle on her earlobe.

Sora's too distracted by Riku's hand to give much fuss, twisting himself left and right to follow her fingers and bat at them crazily when they get close enough.]

[Sora's nose is getting booped right about the same time Riku clamps her mouth shut, holding her breath and squealing a little in her throat. The noise gets Serein's ears up, and Roxas is getting moved.]

Stop it.

[Sora catches her hand with both paws wrapped around her wrist, feet kicking a little. His bite is negligible, and quickly followed by some comfort licks. Both their ears go back at the sound she makes, and Roxas takes the opportunity to headbutt Riku before begging again.]

[She huffs and nuzzles the side of her face against Roxas, messing with Sora a little more before abruptly picking him up around the middle.]

Alright, let's try this again. Don't make me go find kitten formula at this hour.

[He flails a little, joining Roxas in making the begging mews. If there's food to be had, he wants some too! They'd both prefer the formula really, but are old enough not to really need it if there isn't any.]

[If she could find them a nursing cat she would-- actually no, she wouldn't, that would be kind of weird after the fact. She pulls them both against her chest and stands up. Back to the kitchen!}

[They settle down pretty quickly once they're close to one another. This close, it's easier to see smaller things, like the matching bit of white on their chins. They both have white back paws like little boots, and white on their chests in a matching pattern.

Both boys would understand if she did resort to a nursing cat; it's lucky that Serein no longer has puppies though or that would be weird later. Roxas starts squirming a little when they reach the kitchen. He remembers the chicken from earlier.]

[She is not finding a cat. She'll fix up her own formula first. She almost fumbles Roxas when he starts moving, but by that point she's already leaning down to set them both on the floor. Oh no kittens.]

[He's sniffing around where she had the chicken before, only to complain when it isn't there any more. Sora echoes him, then winds around Riku's ankles to try to rub against both at once.

Meanwhile, Roxas has decided he's going to attempt to climb her leg as soon as she's still.]

Ow, ow--! Hey!

[She yanks the package of meat off the counter and bends down at the same time to grab Roxas so he can't shred her legs up, falling down to one knee once she's sure no kittens are in range for being crushed.]

[His mew turns into a squeak when she grabs him, and his ears go back at her tone. While she's distracted, Sora is sneaking up to investigate that package.]

[Nope. She pulls it up out of his reach and gently eases Roxas back to the ground, where she'll take a seat. Then she'll open up the package and tear off two pieces of meat, so they won't be fighting over it. Hopefully.]

[Roxas recognizes it from before and sets to licking immediately. Sora is not so sure, taking his time in sniffing his chunk thoroughly, then bats at it a bit. It isn't until Roxas comes over to lick his too that Sora backs off, wandering over to investigate the piece he'd left behind.]
