Toy Wars Meow. Milliardo inclined his head to watch as the kitten circled Stephen, tail held rigidly erect, ears pricked and a decided spring in the step of the little creature. "Have you spoken to Duo this morning?" Chang glanced up from his paperwork and inclined his head. "He is doped up to the eyeballs on the pills the medic gave him last night and not making much sense at the moment." Stephen nestled amidst a pile of toys, a cloth ball filled with bells clutched in chubby hands, copious quantities of drool connected his mouth to the ball as the kitten distracted him from chewing the ball. "He'll not take long to be his old self. I guarantee he will not make the same mistake twice." "I do not know what possessed him to try such a thing." "Well, I suppose that was my fault," Milliardo murmured, leaning forward slightly to watch the kitten stalk the child. "Your fault?" "I did slide down the banister first, after all. He would not have thought of it if he hadn't witnessed the act." Dark eyes stared at the King. "You… rode… slid…" "Down the banister, yes." Milliardo grinned, unrepentant and winked. "With the exception of Duo leaping on the banister on the spur of the moment, it was well worth the ride too. Steep banisters always make for the best rides. Fast and hard, you just have to either remove any obstacles at the end or know when, and how, to get off before injury is incurred." The kitten lowered his front, hindquarters in the air, tail lashing from side to side as he tamped down his paws. "Is Nelson aiming for Stephen?" Wu Fei scowled. "I would think the ball. The bells attracted him when Stephen was rolling it across the floor." "Shouldn't we put a stop to it before…?" Milliardo snickered. "If one needs to, but Stephen has to learn to fight his own battles. Nelson is only the first of his antagonists in life. He's come off on the worst end of the game on a number of occasions, but he'll learn." Watching the kitten inch closer, tail flicking, eyes centred on the child, Wu Fei had to wonder if Stephen would ever best the miniature demon. The cat had given him a fright during the night, not that he was inclined to mention the incident. He did sympathise with Stephen though and if Milliardo had not been present he might have considered removing the kitten from the room. Nelson pounced, a perfect arc, paws outstretched, claws extended, aiming to swipe the ball from the child's hands. Stephen seemed to straighten his spine as the cat sprang and with a quick movement he tossed the ball to solidly wack the cat in the face in midair… and crowed with delighted laughter at his success. With a yowl Nelson rebounded and vanished under the couch, just the tip of his tail visible, thrashing with indignation. "Score one for Stephen!" Milliardo chuckled.
