I can teach you cards. You have to be ready to run or hit someone if you get caught. But the biggest point is to make sure no one calls you out on cheating.

[Which meant being mean, being frightening, and building a reputation. That can wait until they are both a little more sober. And Aomine is still staring at him and Katze blinks back because what else is there to say on that topic? Maybe he expects him to do a trick?

But it's not about cards and the kid looks like the world is spinning for him. Katze is, actually, starting to feel a little unnerved and a little uncomfortable by the time that word comes.

And he laughs. He can't help it at this point, raking a hand through reddish hair (red enough, anyway) as though that helps him see his companion any better.]

Teach you about blowjobs. You know I should probably charge you for something like that.

[But instead Katze stands, offers a hand up for Aomine and a body to lean on if that's what he needs because this is not the place to learn about cheating at cards or about blowjobs.]

Someone bought me literally because I matched his decor. I grew up well enough, but I'm a mongrel.

[Not renowned for their beauty. Nothing in the genetic alteration soup that Pets came from.]

You're cute, though. Big, like an Elite.
