A different kind of Stray » Places

         "Good. At least I won't have to take you to hospital. I hate them. That cut on your cheek looks pretty bad though", Ryu said, genuinely concerned about the Neko. Which was weird for him, normally he didn't care about anyone else.
This kid was so small though, barely past his waist. It wasn't really surprising though, if he had been on the streets for a while. Plus the fact that, from what he had read, cat hybrids were generally small-framed anyway.

He had only just realised that he still had a hold of the kid's hand, and he immediately broke the contact, stuffing his hands in his pockets. He shivered, it was getting colder, and the fact that he was tired wasn't helping.

"...Come on. Let's get ya cleaned up.", he said finally, turning round and walking back out the alleyway, pausing to make sure the cat-boy was following, "Oh yeah, my name's Ryu. In case you were wondering."
