[ There's a perplexed looking young man in view of the screen. Anyone familiar with Locus will probably recognize him, but something's definitely different. That tell-tale x-shaped scar? Gone. His hair is shorter, hanging just below his jaw. Moreover, his eyes don't quite hold that thousand-yard-stare to them just yet.

He looks, well. Teenaged.

He's also holding Luna up to view. She's purring heavily, but he appears bewildered by her presence, if anything. ]

Does anyone know whose cat this is? I just...found her here when I woke up.

Well, until someone comes forward to claim her she's yours. Have you ever taken care of a cat before?

[agnominal]

I've fed alley cats before. It's not really the same.

[short_changed]

If she's domesticated then it should be easier. But if you're really stumped, I can give you a hand with her for a little while.

[It feels odd to have free time on her hands, without the Director and the Counselor watching judging every move but she's not complaining. They work hard enough, they deserve the break of whatever this place is.]

I'm Connie, what's your name?

[video]

[agnominal]

Sam.

[ Something approaching a smile teases the edge of his mouth. Just for a moment. Then his eyes fall to the cat once more. ]

I wouldn't want to bother you unnecessarily. It seems like everything that should be needed is here.

[video]

[short_changed]

It's a good name.

[Connie smiles a little and shrugs a shoulder.]

I've got nothing but time on my hands it seems, it's no trouble. ...And she's awfully cute. Does she have a name?

[video]

[agnominal]

I'm hoping someone knows.

If you'd like to come see her, you only need say so.

[How very gracious of him.]

Okay then, I'll swing by in a bit. What about you, do you need anything? I can grab food or anything on the way over.

[video]

[agnominal]

No, I'll be fine.

[ Said even as his stomach gives a weak gurgle. That results in a glare downward. Really? Now? ]

[video]

[short_changed]

[Oh she heard that, don't think she didn't.]

Don't sweat it, kiddo. Send me the directions to where you want me to meet you and I'll bring stuff for you and the cat. You have any food preferences? Allergies?

[video]

[agnominal]

No. And I'm not a kid.

[ Old enough to lay down his life for the cause, isn't he? He glances aside though, ruminating for a moment before those eyes dart back up. ]

...Thank you.

[video]

[short_changed]

Sorry, got it.

[She'll grab a bunch of stuff when she heads out, things that'll keep for a while if Sam finds himself without money or something but she'll try to keep an eye out for him. And the cat.]

No problem, Sam. See you soon.
