Tao was chasing his own tail. M-21 watched the kitten as he went around in circles, pausing for a few seconds, and then trying to pounce on his tail again. Did he not know...? He had to. But then, Tao didn't know everything he did.

M-21 continued watching as Tao ran around in circles, not tiring, but not seeming frustrated either.

When Tao stopped, he wobbled towards M-21 before flopping next to him. M-21 groomed him as he purred, tail flicking.

Once he recovered, Tao wandered off, not looking back at his tail.

* * *

Tao was behind him. M-21 knew that. He could hear the kitten's paws on the floor, even as he took each step very slowly.

M-21 continued chewing on the snack Frankenstein had given him, waiting to see what Tao would do.

Tao pounced, but the leap was short and Tao landed on M-21's tail instead.

M-21 swept his tail to the side, giving Tao more room - he paused when Tao pounced on his tail again, even being slid along the floor.

His tail had been the target the entire time?

Tao kept a hold of M-21's tail, his teeth clasped for a second before letting go.

Slowly, M-21 moved his tail away.

Tao jumped on it again.

Oh. Tao was chasing his tail. M-21 continued to wag his tail as Tao chased it, letting the kitten play.

Frankenstein had made lots of other toys for Tao, but at least he wasn't making himself dizzy.

When Tao was done, he came over, reaching over to chew on M-21's treat.

M-21 grabbed it and lifted it away before Tao could do that - Frankenstein had said Tao wasn't allowed to eat his food.

Tao meowed at him, trying to jump up. M-21 backed off, and Tao followed. Hnnng. M-21 wasn't sure if Tao really wanted the treat or wanted to play, but he wasn't going to let Tao have his treat.

* * *

Tao was laying under a sunbeam, the tip of his tail flicking occasionally. He liked laying there sometimes, and M-21 wandered over, checking Tao's reaction with every step.

Tao didn't look up, but he wasn't sleeping either, his ears turned towards M-21.

M-21 lay down, not next to Tao, but close. Tao still didn't move.

Hm. Maybe he'd been wrong but... M-21 lowered his head, shuffling a little closer. Close enough to pat Tao's tail.

Tao twitched it out of the way, but it waved back again the next second.

M-21 patted it again.

Tao rolled over, waving his paws in the air. His claws weren't out, so he wasn't angry.

When M-21 tried to pat him again, Tao latched onto his paw. M-21 felt his purring and wagged his tail. They could play like this as well.
