At least one of you is willing to come to the door. Hello, pup. Are you happy to see me?
[One of the kittens, a grey tabby, had started to slip free as Anders had been turning the door handle; it meows with renewed enthusiasm and kicks its back legs until Anders relents and puts it down on the floor. Mark this in your calendars: the first magic closet cat to ever explore Carver's bedroom has just made ground.
Fearless in the face of Bethy's general canineness, the kitten lifts a paw as if to give the barking fluff an experimental poke. Watching to be sure neither party tears a chunk out of the other, Anders answers idly.]
You mean besides proving you're a terrible liar? I already said I'm rounding up cats--and oh, look, there's one now. How did that get there?
[He doesn't desperately need Carver's help for anything, but this had been worth just to see the look on Carver's face.]
