School

As much as cats are still inundating the town, they don't seem to be bothering your local school counselor too much as he sits in his office, finishing up some paperwork. With the way several of them seem to just be lazily scatted around the room, he seems to have embraced them as therapy animals.

Though maybe the one that keeps trying to sit on the aforementioned paperwork is a bit bothersome. He's moved the cat (who is exceptionally large, fluffy, and brown, and heavy enough that this feels like more of a chore than it should be) three times, but it just keeps coming back and plopping right back down. He sighs a little as he picks the cat up once again, only to have the door to his office open as he sets the cat on the floor... and watches with some frustration as it hops right back up on the desk and lays down on the papers. Though as he turns to the person in the doorway, he at least has a different reason for not getting that done.

"Can I help you?"

Bar

It's been a long day, and now it's time to relax. There's a bar not too far from his house, and while he's not there all that frequently, it is one of his preferred places to unwind. It's a cozy place, not too fancy. Maybe he's meeting up with someone tonight, or maybe he's just there by himself, enjoying the atmosphere.

Either way, the cats have wormed their way in here too. For the moment, he's sitting on a stool at the bar, alone save for the little orange tabby that's decided to climb into his lap. He looks down at it, something between amused and weary, as the cat puts its paws on the bar and casually bats at his glass, which he proceeds to pick up out of the way.

"That's not for you."

Sitting down is sort of the last thing he wants to do, but Chikusa knows he has no choice. If he makes a fuss or refuses, that will probably just make him more suspicious. All he wants to do is get this over with as quickly as possible.

With that in mind, he goes to sit at the table, his arms crossing across its surface. There's no further talking, just a dull and patient stare.

He had seen a bit of the cafe project in the making, having followed the volunteer signs on a whim. It was barely started when he'd seen it, but it had been several days since then, so the combination of leading in on a positive note and genuine curiosity leads him to start there as he settles into a chair across the table from Ciro.

"You're involved in setting up that new cafe, aren't you? How is that going?"

"It's... going." Not inclined to make eye contact, he simply shrugs. "By the end of the month, I think it should be ready. I've been putting advertisements around." Both in the school in a few places and a lot of places out. It's been something to do, at the very least, and it keeps him from wasting away in his room.

"That's the plan, at any rate..."
