(( Matthias watches him closely, seeing the comfort drape over Wooji like a blanket. Is he part of the cause? He'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy his hands in Jiji's hair, pampering him in the best way he can think of. He's always been fond of cats.

Humming softly in thought, Matthis ponders how to reply. After a moment, he sighs heavily before answering. ))

Your witch isn't wrong. I won't even say you shouldn't worry about me. It's in my nature to be manipulative. But...

(( Another long sigh. He pulls his fingers free of Wooji's hair and tips the cat's chin up. Whether or not Jiji opens his eyes is uo to him. ))

I like you. You're fun and you don't expect me to be anything more than what I am.
