[Souchi][TBC]

To say that surprised when the small boy easily pushed it onto the counter like a paperweight would be an understatement. I mean maybe he had weak noodle arms, but it seemed like quite an incredible feat for a small boy like the one beside him. Then he remembered the boy had asked a question.

"Cat ears? Like these?" Souchi pointed at his ears. " Ah, they're genetic, got 'em from my mom. Not much of a big deal I think. People don't make too big of a fuss. They do get awfully red-faced sometimes, don't know why..."

He looked at the enticing rat and remembered what he was trying to do before the boy's question.

"Oh right! I was going to get the dish rag for your mouse!" Souchi exclaimed, turning and running towards the storage closet almost knocking over some precariously stacked boxes on the way there. Thank goodness the manager had shown him where it was earlier or he would've never found it. Tossing aside some empty boxes he pulled out a brand new dishtowel from the stack on the bottom shelf. He returned with the dishrag, placing it on the counter beside the water tank.

"Say, what's your name? Mine's Souchi. Love your mouse. You're really strong, has anyone else noticed that?" He inquired, looking past the boy at the girl still washing dishes.
