"I know." He's serious, now, maybe a little pouty, but he slips into his own shower stall without much more trouble for Sky High. "Are you sure it was a good idea to leave that kitty with Kotetsu?" he asks, flipping the showerhead on. "He'll probably do something stupid like wanting to take care of it."

When Kotetsu looks up to ask about why was /he/ the one with the kitten, he finds himself suddenly alone. He could almost hear the lonely whistle of the wind as the sound of voices retreated to the men's showers, and Nathan's voice pricked up wordlessly for a moment before dying back.
"Come on..." He whined, tipping the helmet gently. The kitten was backing up into the corner, terrified, with its small sooty tail folded over her (Kotetsu immediately decided it was a girl) feet. His heart twanged.
"There there," he murmured, reaching in to stretch out his fingers for the small thing to sniff. "I'm not going to hurt you~."

Keith is shortly stripped out of his sadly damaged uniform and into his own shower. "Oh?" He wasn't sure how that was stupid, he thought that was the reason he did trust the little animal's care to Tiger. "I just thought he would know best about cats."

"Why, because he's 'Tiger'? Mmmmm." He still sounds a little pouty. He doesn't think immediate care is stupid, he thinks the idea of Kotetsu taking care of anything long-term might be a little short-sighted, to say the least.

" Well yes." it seemed logical that Tiger would know something about cats if he chose that name. " I have a dog, so I don't know anything about cats."

Nathan sighs dramatically. As expected of Keith. "Let's hope you're right, hm?" Still, he would have liked the opportunity to take care of the kitten himself. But maybe Kotetsu will do a good job. Maybe.

"Oh!" There's a wet slap as Keith drops a fist into his open palm. " The cat also needs a shower!" The sound of water from his stall stops as he exits it, wrapping only a towel around his waist for what should be a short trip to retrieve the kitten and bring it back to the showers.

"Eh??" Nathan peeks his head out of the shower stall quick enough to see Keith escape the showers, trailing his towel. "Idiot," he growls, leaning against the stall. Well. Whether or not Kotetsu agrees should say a thing or two about how qualified he is to care for the kitten.

"Tiger!" Keith comes up behind the couch, it may not be clear from that angle that he's even wear a towel at all. "I need Michael back, He was also very dirty from the fire."

"Ah, Sky High," Kotetsu replies, distracted as he twists to look at him. Bundled up against his throat the small sooty kitten has pressed itself as far against his neck as it can possible go. A series of smudges up his shirt marks where it had launched itself up his chest. A far too large rumbling purr is echoing loud enough that Keith could hear.
"Michael?"
Oh.
The cat.
He awkwardly tries to get his fingers around the cat, gently, but when he tries to pull small claws dig into his neck and he hisses. "Ow-ow-ow--er, Michael should get looked at by a vet, shouldn't he?"

"The vet?" Oh yes that probably is a thing that should happen, but he wasn't really intending to keep the cat. " Don't you think I should clean him first?" He extends the hand that he's not using to hold his towel up for the cat...which seems to have made itself a permanent part of Tiger's neck...

He's grown surprisingly attached to the little guy over the past few minutes, but not nearly as literally attached as the cat has become to him. Kotetsu winces, looks around himself a little frantically, and eases up out of the couch. "Ah, hold on a sec, just gotta...."
He disappears at a trot down the hall towards the lockers, and comes back in a minute with his hat in one hand. He slowly coaxes the kitten into it with a soft yosh, yosh off his neck. "Ah ha, just a little scared, huh!" He carefully hands it over. "Be careful, alright?"

Skyhigh is patient despite the chill of standing there almost naked waiting for the cat. He would salute when he finally takes it but all hands are now occupied. " Of course! Michael will get the most gentle of baths." Then he's off again, back to the showers with the cat.

Kotetsu watches him go, one hand on a hip and the other scratching at the back of his head with a concerned twist to his mouth. Sky High had a pet, this couldn't be too bad, right?
Right?

Nathan's out of the shower already, a large, fluffy pink towel wrapped sturdily around his torso, and he's waiting for Keith with a hand on his hip. He doesn't trust for a moment that Keith thinks there's any difference between cats and dogs.
