Cold. So cold. Brrrr. Eep. Orpheus wanted to be waaaaarm. He didn’t know how to get warm, though : ( He could steal someone’s fur,,, or borrow some cat’s den,, or.. find a snuggle buddy! He liked that last idea the best. Now, to find a qualifying candidate! He needed someone.. cozy. Orpheus glanced around intently before setting his eyes on the one. A smile formed on his face as he quickly scampered over to them, eager. At one point, he was five seconds away from tripping before he turned it into a ‘cool’ drop-and-roll, pretending that it was the plan all along.

“You!! You you you!! What’s your name???” He asked, sitting down comfortably. “I have a job for you!” This cat’s fur looked so.. nice. Warm. Warm colors, too. Perfect! He hoped the cat would go along with his idea! If not,,,, er— well, this would be awkward.

Autumn
________

The ginger tom had been just... sitting. Minding his own business. Huddling up against a small box, trying to preserve warmth. There wasn’t much else to do in the dead of winter. His tail was fluffed up so it looked extra poofy, and the rest of his medium, orange coat was the same. Green eyes were absolutely zoned out, thinking of... food, probably, to be honest. His stomach rumbled.

Yep, food.

Suddenly, his wandering mind was dragged back down to earth as a cat scampered toward him and... tripped. Not moving at all, he side eyes the newcomer. "...It’s, uh, Autumn. You?" What was with these strange encounters he’d been having recently? Well, this was probably the burden of living with other cats. Protection and shelter, yes! Privacy, nope. "Uhhh okay?" He had no idea what else he could have said to that.
