What if she's wanted me to leave this whole time really, but was just to polite to say it outright? Mercury thought in panic, turning away and dropping his head low, tensing his shoulders. He quickly shoved the thought away. No, she's obviously quite in awe to see me. He attempted to try to reassure himself, but it ended up just sounding like a sarcastic thought. Great.

Shadow was quite dazed, not sure how to reply. "I suppose,
only if you want to. I'm not b-" She stopped herself, paws shuffling. "Oh,
I do have to get Icarius moved in. Oh my," A small hint of worry in her voice. She looked up at Mercury. "Can I see you again?!" She mewed, nuzzling the tom on the cheek.
