The kitten seems none too pleased about having to sit still, but Nathan keeps a firm grasp and works quickly, rubbing gently at the back first. Pale orange stripes begin to show up, set in a soft sea of cream fur. "Mah, mah~" he's purring at it, leaning in close for comfort. "There, see?" The towel continues to make quick work of the soot.

Around the corner, Kotetsu peers around to see what the hell they are doing with the kitten, holding on to edge of the door frame in order to control his lean. One brow is cocked up higher than the other, both bent towards the middle.

"I see." Keith is on his best behavior, attentive and trying to learn as if this information will come in handy later.
"Michael is quite handsome isn't he?"

"Mm, mm," Nathan agrees absently, continuing to rub down the poor kitten. There are some trouble spots, and one time it nearly slips out of his grasp, but the job gets done, and the soot is eventually on the washcloth and not on the cat.
...Wait.
"She is rather beautiful," he corrects, picking up the tiny thing in his hands and holding her close to his face. "Ne? Aren't you just the sweetest?"

"Be a little careful with her, she might be someone's precious pet," Kotetsu added from the doorway, swinging around to draw closer to them. It was sort of weird with half of them in towels, and it was dangerous to be around Nathan in a towel, so he skirted a little wide around them. "Where in the world did you find her?"

"She?"
He wasn't sure why he had been so certain that cat was a boy, but he trusted Nathan on this.
"She-" He was careful to call it by the right gender now. "-was on the roof of the burning factory.
Naturally it was my duty to save all victims, human or not!"
Then he looked a bit sad. "But when I tried to bring her to the police with the other people, they said a cat was not their problem. So I brought her back here."

"Mah! How insensitive!" Nathan has the kitten curled safely in his arms as he turns to look at Kotetsu and Keith with a worried, pouty frown. "She's not wearing a collar, but someone might be missing her."

Kotetsu, hand casually in one pocket, stepped in to gently scritch the top of the damp kitten's head with one finger while trying to figure out where his hat had gone. He liked that hat. "Maybe you should ask around if any of the former residents is missing a cat? Probably going nuts looking for her."

"Of course! I couldn't accidentally steal someone's precious pet!"
He thought of how devastated he'd be if John went missing.
"I'll go back first thing tomorrow and ask."
Tiger's hat btw is sitting unharmed, if a little sooty on the edge of the sink.

This, he feels he can trust Keith with. He might be a little slow, but he's just a Boy Scout with a heart of pure gold, and Nathan knows he'll find the owner if it kills him.
Doesn't mean he won't continue to be pushy, though. "Make sure you get her a cat carrier!" he says, wagging an imperative finger at Keith. God forbid he shows up with a leash.

Kotetsu eyes landed on his hat, and he grinned. A long streatch and he snatched it off where Fire Emblem had set it, sitting it neatly back on his head where it belonged despite the fact a few soooty....
....
He made and odd face and pulled it back off his head, rubbing the ash out of his hair.

Keith nodded, at cat carrier was a good idea, he couldn't keep carrying the thing in his helmet.
"I'll get one right away. Mi-hmmm, I can't call her Michael anymore...
Maria! will need a place to sleep, the carrier can be her bed as well."

"Mou~! Don't just give her a name until you're sure she doesn't have one!" Nathan scolds, fingers lacing indignantly in front of his chest.

"Ehh, its really young, probably doesn't notice too much. We need to call her something." He leaned over the small parcel of kitten in Keith's hands, considering it.

The kitten look's rather unhappy, fur all damp and plastered down. It was trying to bury itself in Keith's arm leaving small red scrapes along his skin.
" I will find out her true name if I find her owner tomorrow, until then I think Maria suits her...or perhaps Jane?"
