Frankenstein paused from the readings on the screen when he heard the lab doors swish open behind him. It wasn't Master, who was still upstairs, so that only left two candidates.
One, really, seeing as M-21 avoided going to his lab unless he had to.
Frankenstein turned around, and there was Tao padding along the floor, looking up at all the machines.
"What are you doing here, hm?" Frankenstein said, and Tao meowed, dashing towards him. "Exploring?"
Tao must have seen the entirety of the rest of the house by now, so it made sense he would start looking at the lab. Though how he got into the lab was something else, unless he'd learned that from M-21.
Tao purred as he rubbed up against Frankenstein's leg and he sighed, picking Tao up. "I can't leave you to wander while I'm distracted," he scolded lightly, setting Tao on his shoulder. He hadn't gotten around to kitten-proofing the lab yet.
Tao continued purring as he paraded around Frankenstein's shoulder, trying to stretch out as far as he could.
"Though I think I'm due a break," Frankenstein said, walking in the direction Tao indicated.
* * *
Tao preferred climbing up the taller machines, but he was still within Frankenstein's reach whenever he started staring at a leap that he couldn't make.
Frankenstein turned at a 'ding' and as he walked away, Tao thumped into his shoulder, claws digging in until Tao had gotten his balance again. "The ramen's ready," Frankenstein told him, running his fingers over Tao's chest. "I suppose you'll want a taste?" Tao always wanted to try whatever he or Master were eating.
He got a meow in reply, making him smile.
The ramen looked how he expected it, the ingredients infusing into the soup and he caught Tao again as the kitten tried to leap onto the conveyor belt.
"That's too big for you," he said, Tao squirming in his grasp and yowling. "I'll get you a smaller bowl." It would give the ramen time to cool as well.
Tao continued squirming and pawing in the direction of the ramen as Frankenstein poured the ramen into another bowl. Once he was done and he set Tao down next to it, Tao ate it as fast as he could, purring all the while.
The portion wasn't big enough to give Tao an upset stomach but Frankenstein watched him just in case he was eating too fast.
When Tao had finished, Frankenstein washed the bowl and when Frankenstein turned around again, Tao was yawning, his tongue curling out.
Frankenstein smiled, picking Tao up. "Was that more than I should have given you?"
Tao was small enough to fit into his shirt pocket, and at least while he was there, Frankenstein knew where he was and when he woke up again while he was busy.
Tao's purr was a constant against his chest as Frankenstein made notes but he paused at the lab doors swishing open again, followed by the thundering click of claws on his tiles.
"M-21?" he asked, seeing the wolf charging around his lab. "What's wrong?"
M-21 howled a bark, checking every corner before dashing off again.
Like he was looking for someone. Someone small that could fit underneath the machines. Ah. "Are you looking for Tao?"
He got an affirmative huff, M-21 trying to squeeze under the scanner, paws scrabbling at the tiles.
"M-21," Frankenstein said, walking over. "He's here."
M-21 snapped up again, looking towards him as Frankenstein kneeled. "See?" Frankenstein petted Tao's head. "He's safe."
M-21 stared at him for a second before barrelling over, grooming Tao as soon as he was close.
Tao protested for a second before settling down again.
"You must have been worried when you couldn't find him, mm?" Frankenstein murmured, running his hand over M-21's head. Especially what happened the first time Tao had gotten out of his sight.
"Hnnng."
"Thank you for looking after him," Frankenstein said, and M-21's eyes went wide in his direction. He was still unused to praise... Well, hopefully he would in time, since M-21 was doing many good things around the house.
"Would you like to taste my new recipe?"
M-21's ears perked up and Frankenstein smiled. He had found his two new taste testers for Master's ramen.
