The bell above the door gives a dull, tired chime as it opens.

The shelter smells faintly of antiseptic and fur—clean, but worn. Rows of cages line the walls, some occupied, some empty. A low chorus of quiet meows hums beneath the flicker of fluorescent lights.

Near the back, someone is already there.

Sleeves rolled, movements precise, controlled—gloved hands adjusting a latch on one of the cages with careful attention. A cat inside watches him, tense at first... then still.

Calm.

He does not look up immediately. Finishes what he is doing. Secures the latch.

Only then—

“...Do not startle them.”

His voice is low, even, carrying easily through the room without effort.

Green eyes lift, sharp and assessing. Not unfriendly—just... measuring.

A pause. Brief. Intent.

“...Most here are not accustomed to care. Sudden movement will be interpreted as a threat.”

Another beat.

Then, quieter—almost an afterthought:

“...If you intend to stay, be deliberate.”

A small, scarred cat brushes against his leg. He reaches down automatically, fingers gentler than his tone ever is.

He does not look away from you.

Waiting.

Judging.

...Allowing.
