Oki sighed, handing the canteen back and starting on the squats.
"Look, I didn't choose Mine. I helped her out and she was all "Oh hey! I really appreciate what you did there for me, and I want to pay you back How about a contract?" What was I suppose to say? No? And as for the neighbor's cat... that was fifteen... sixteen years ago! I don't know what was with me and cats back then, except that I probably liked them the same as I do now."

"But... Cats..." Yuki said and cringed again," they're so... friggin creepy! They just... watch... everything... They... appear out of nowhere... and they seem to pick the person who likes them the least to constantly be around!"

"Not to mention they're always licking themselves, and the hairballs..." Suoh added, feeling the need to be helpful.
"Oki, I want you to start alternating between going a quarter of the way up from your squats to half way, holding each for about 30 seconds. Then go all the way back down."

"It's because you won't make eye contact with them," Oki explained. "That's normally a challenge. So naturally the person in the room who's paying them the least attention is the person least likely to pose a threat. Try staring them down."
"How many of these do you want me doing, Suoh?"

Yuki nodded and motioned to Suoh, not being able to agree with anyone more about anything else... "I make eye contact all too often. Little freaks, one foot in the grave at all times, always standing between worlds and... they just can't keep to themselves...

"I'll tell you when to stop," Suoh told Oki and ignored her huff of frustration. She was so cute when she was trying to prove a point...
"Huh," Suoh mused, half to himself at Yuki's comment. "And here I thought like attracted like..."

"They are not freaks!" Oki protested. "They're beautiful and intelligent animals with minds of their own. I happen to like that they're liminal animals."

Yuki scowled at Suoh for a second... "I don't... One side or the other... I wouldn't even care if they'd just cross the veil once in a while, but they're always on both sides! I swear, they're the one thing this book doesn't have an answer for..."

"Suoh!" Oki snapped. "That's a horrible thing to say!"

Yuki thought it was a great idea, but he certainly wasn't going to say that with Oki around to get mad at him as well... "Can we just stop talking about the damn things?" he offered, wanting to move on before he got even more creeped out...

"Sure," Suoh shrugged. "Oki, take five."

Oki flopped down onto the grass with a groan of relief.
"Su, you may not be the complete bastard I thought you were. Thanks."

"Oh, he probably is exactly the complete bastard you thought he was... Just cares about his sister," Yuki said with a slight grin... It was weird. Yuki couldn't remember the last time he'd made any aquaintences that he could tease in good nature... It was good to have someone around to share a laugh with again, especially with how serious everything had become as of late...

"Our mother knew our father, thank you," Suoh teased. "And I'm pretty sure they were already married... Never really asked, though. Any way! I figure she needs a chance to catch her breath. Once she does, she's going to get the chance to kick my ass."
