“You make a good point.” Josh said, looking at Lady and then back at Akira. “I think she’d be okay in the corridor. I’ve had a cat before as a child and he was always safe walking around, so I think that would be good.” Josh said as he gave Lady a few more strokes and then stood up straight.
The same way Akira was used to Josh being so casual with touching him, the older male didn’t even notice he was wrapping his arm around Akira where everyone could see. “We’ll be in my room soon Lady, meet us back there okay?” Josh said, knowing if she wasn’t actually there later he’d go and try to find her.
