angel eyes — open.

[TEDDY.]

Each hand held a kitten. Two Siamese boys, the merchant would offer at a heavily reduced price — a silent plea to get into Theodore’s good books. And it worked, it had appeared. With a smug smile bearing his lips, Teddy wagged his brows as he stepped into the casino, relishing the attention he received as onlookers cooed over the two new arrivals. ❝ Ain’t they the sweetest things?! ❞ Teddy exclaimed, grinning with delight as he placed them on the ground to explore. ❝ They were an offer I just couldn’t refuse; what’ta surprise though. Weren’t expecting to end up with three cats today. ❞

Baby blues followed the inquisitive kittens as they ventured around the casino, weaving in between chairs and tables before amusing themselves with a loose thread hanging from the loosened stitching at a booth. ❝ Hope Maia’s willin’ to share her suite with ‘em. They still need names, food bowls, toys… ❞ In Teddy’s voice, it was clear to see the love he had for cats. The smallest of soft spots. But who could blame him? Ever since he first came across Auguste, it became difficult to imagine a life without a feline. Sometimes they were better than human interaction, kinder, more forgiving. With a cat, it was hard to feel disappointment because they never sought to disappoint.

♔  It was almost like a joke, saying that Ves never went anywhere without Twinkie. At this point, she was his ground. His rock. Without her, he would be in constant fits, shaking, hiding, terrified. With her, it felt like he could conquer the world. If there was one thing about cats, it was that they were not dogs. Unlike dogs, cats did not scare him. They did not remind him of what he truly feared. Their teeth were small, their claws were comforting. With dogs, it was like looking in a mirror.

♔  Well, a mirror, that showed his father. Instead of himself, Ves would see his father in his face, in his eyes. That old man was nothing more than a mongrel. His teeth, stained yellow and grey, reminded him much of the decaying teeth of an old dog. The unkempt beard, the stains at the corners of his mouth. He was like an old hound dog, with dangerous teeth, rotten and sharp. It made the albino man shiver, thinking about dogs. They were vicious creatures, created from a fear that would be hard to shake. Ves did not blame dogs for his fear, they had done nothing wrong to him, but to see them bare their teeth, to hear them bark--it was like looking at an old family photo. Those dead eyes of his father, the disappointed gaze.

♔  Ves shifted his attention to Teddy the moment he heard him enter the casino. He had often visited to get his mind off the constant thoughts that circled his brain, instead replacing those circling thoughts with a ball, watching as it spun around a table. The steady clicks, the chatter over a game of poker. Ves never fancied himself to mingle and gamble, not without his own deck of cards. He leaned back in his chair and crossed his leg, hands slipping off the table as he watched the Knope brother set down the two tiny kittens.

♔  Twinkie took this as an advantage, immediately shoving her face into Ves' glass of water and lapping up the lukewarm drink until she could hear the kittens near by. She lifted her head and licked her lips, eyes shifting down to the floor before she glanced at the albino before her. She got up and jumped onto his lap, then onto the floor, taking off after one of the kittens to see what the hubbub was about. The albino shifted in his seat, visually displeased by his cat leaving him, but he did not go after her, instead scratched at his arm and watched.
