[March 24] Stupid cat.

[Belle Rousseau]

Of course, the blatant finger pointing went unnoticed as she spilled the tiny tidbit, keeping her blissfully oblivious to anything Romano was trying desperately to make a little more obvious.

As much as she didn't want to, she had to even the odds a little. The argument was simply too one sided and this point and the Italian was just looking confused. And what kind of little sister would she be if she didn't exploit her right to put her big brother on the spot every once in a while. It was out of love, Broer, I promise.

Looking over, she almost gave her brother a quick, teasing smile-- before he suddenly armed himself with a cat and she quickly stepped out of the way.

[Lovino Vargas]

Before he knew it, Romano was suddenly shoved by Spain. With his cursed lack of reflexes, he naturally fell over in an instant, tumbling over with an indignant yell.

... which abruptly became a shriek when that fucking demon cat was thrown at him, and he began struggling for his life against the claws of doom that were threatening to tear him to shreds!!

"Y-YOU FUCKERS!!", Romano shouted, with quite an undertone of pain in his voice. Mostly because there was a cat trying to slaughter him, and for the most part, the cat was succeeding. "Help me, dammit!!"

[Antonio Fernandez Carriedo]

Spain stood back, crossing his arms and judging the way Romano was handling Lady Lovi. He was no cat expert but he knew that cats did not like it when people used loud voices. Maybe that's why the cat looked so displeased with him. He decided that since Romano HAD asked for help then Spain would have come to his rescue lovingly like a boss! (He always came to Romano's rescue after all!)

"Soothe the savage beast through song!" he suggested. Then he laughed because it was downright hilarious to picture Romano trying to sing a cat into not attacking him anymore. He reached his arms out and grabbed the cat from Romano's face. "Better?"

[Adriaan van Dijk]

While the sight of Romano writhing around on the ground was immensely amusing and enjoyable, Adriaan did have the lingering concern that one of those obscenely dramatic Italian hand gestures would injure the cat. Because the cat was completely innocent and not vicious at all.

(Also, he chose to forget about the whole accidental-flinging-the-cat-off-the-table incident.)

Thankfully, Spain was there to rescue it. And Miffy had most likely been forgotten in the struggle. So, really, everybody wins.


Except Romano, who didn't count.

[Belle Rousseau]

All Belle could do was watch as Adriaan flung the cat at Lovino, who promptly because trying to pull it off. It wasn't until after Antonio managed it did she step over and kneel down beside him to make sure he was alright. As fun as he is to tease sometimes, that didn't mean she couldn't be concerned.

"Are you alright?!" she said as she looked his face over and...those scratches look like they hurt.

[Lovino Vargas]

"Yeah, decided to take your fuckin' time, didn't you?", Romano muttered, looking downright unpleasant as he sat up and making sure to give a nasty glance at the dumb cat in Spain's arms. He was all prepared to bring out the best of his pityworks, which was not overreacting because he was just attacked brutally by a monster!! But then he noticed Belle next to him, her pretty face all scrunched up with concern, and that plan flew out of mind.

"Don't worry yourself 'bout me!", he proclaimed bravely, trying to give a confident grin through the AWFUL TERRIBLE EXCRUTIATING PAIN that the scratches were giving him. "Hurts like a bitch but nothing a bit of treatment can't help!"

... no, he wasn't fishing for pity, dammit.
