Frankenstein's eyes fluttered open, and he glanced at the clock. Hm. He'd woken up thirteen minutes earlier than usual. Maybe because of the nap he'd had earlier?

It was rare for him to have free time and...

He turned his head towards his door, his eyes narrowed. Had he heard something? It couldn't be an intruder - they wouldn't have gotten past M-21 in the very least, and Master would have alerted him.

"Mrow?"

Ah. Of course. Tao must have recognised the schedule he had and was waiting for him.

"Raaaow."

"Yes, yes," Frankenstein said, slipping out of bed, "I can hear you."

"Raow!"

Tao had his front paws braced on Frankenstein's door when he opened it. Tao dropped down and rubbed up against his legs.

"What are you interested in?" Frankentasin murmured as he watched Tao dash away. Towards his bed. Hm, not demanding breakfast?

Tao looked up at the bed before crouching down, wriggling.

Frankenstein winced and scooped the kitten up before he pounced. "I'll make you some stairs to reach my bed, just don't scratch my bed frame in the meantime, mm?"

"Mrow."

"I'm surprised you wanted my bed first," Frankenstein said, setting Tao on his blanket. "There's lots of bookshelves and crannies for you to explore."

Tao bit Frankenstein's top and tugged him back. Frankenstein smiled, following Tao's lead. "Are you wanting me in bed again? I'll only be able to stay for a few minutes."

As soon as Frankenstein was laying down, Tao curled up on his chest, purring hard enough to feel.

"This was what you wanted to do?" Frankenstein said, running his fingers over Tao. Tao leaned into his touch, but stayed in place, his eyes closed. Purring showed cats were happy, but purring was also something they did to heal, and that extended to those they were in contact with when they purred. That couldn't be the reason, but it would explain why Tao kept wanting him in bed.

"I'm not ill," Frankenstein told him. "Tired, maybe, but I'm much more rested now than I was before." In fact, he hadn't had any nightmares over the last couple days.

Tao replied by stretching out and purring harder.

Frankenstein chuckled and continued to pet Tao. He had a few minutes of free time before he needed to start his day.

He could enjoy this until then.
