It was starting to get hot in the alleys. Whenever the sun heats up the bricks of a building, it sets off all the others and leaves the alleys the hottest place in the city. Alia and the cats obviously knew this. The kits didn’t play, only sat out in the shade and the older cats went to find some water to bring back to they could cool off. Alia sat in her soft-place, having nowhere else to rest, worried she might get sick again.
Someone to talk to might be nice, someone she hasn’t seen in a while…
Pierce removed his hat and fanned himself with it. Who knew it could get this warm here? He certainly didn’t. Tugging off his jacket, his tossed it carelessly over his shoulder and slipped into the alley, thinking it might have been cooler out of the sun. Finding that he had been mistaken, but not wanting to draw too much attention to himself back on the main street, he continued his was farther back into the alley ways.
When he passed a particular alley, he had to backtrack. Now this looked familiar. The redhead slowly made his way between the lounging cats. “A-Alia?”
Alia lazily looked up at the sound of her name to see Pierce making his way into the den. She smiled happily and got up, running over to the other and hugging him tightly.
“Pierce~!” she purred, “I missed you!”
She let him go now, knowing it was too hot to be close to each other for too long, letting out a small sigh.
“I’m… s-sorry, it’s s-so hot…” she murmured, even though she knew she had no control over that, “It’s nice of y-you to visit, though…”
Normally, the kittens would have been jumping about at Pierce’s arrival, but the only thing they did was peek out to see who it was. No one new, he wasn’t too fond of cats, no need to get out of the shade. Sorry Pierce, maybe when it’s cooler.
