If Duo had been an animal, his ears would have twitched with interest. The giant cat doesn't like adults either? Duo looked up quick-like, his eyes wide.

"You don't like 'em, like me?" As if realizing he came off way more interested than he wanted to show, he scoffed and shrugged before tugging on his cap.

"I mean, s'not like they're much help." Kids always seemed more willing to accept Duo than adults, anyway. But that totally wasn't the reason why he scooted just slightly closer to the cat. Okay, it wasn't the entire reason. Maybe he was a little intrigued in the talking cat now that the initial shock had worn off.
