Ah.

[ there hasn't been a more endearing sight than this confused kitten purring after the briefest scratch behind his ears. contrary to what has been experienced so far, he actually cannot read minds though his intuition and ability to read people have helped him 'diagnose' others in the time he has been behind the counter.

briar sits back on his rear, folding his legs and gesturing to the inside of the shop. ] Stay a while, then. I would say this place is the best way to get your feet wet at the very least. You are among friends.

[ he's been there before, having discovered at a younger age exactly what he was capable of doing, straddling the line between the human world he was raised in and this new world just around the corner. it's scary, perhaps even scarier when you have been living a certain way for much longer. though it doesn't show on his face, he feels a measure of sympathy for him, wanting to at least provide a welcoming introduction if only to help that transformation process. ]

I will go and prepare your order in the meantime.
