[ kawaii-san!!!!! once souji hears that yowl and sees the paw, he immediately puts down everything as gently and nicely as possible to go over to the cat. he will grab the paw with one hand and use his other hand to pet him. ]

Hello, Kawaii-san. How are you? Are you well? Has the professor been mean to you yet? I've heard about the uncooked chicken part.

[ yes, souji is going to have an entire convo with this cat ]
