He says nothing at first, just crosses the room in three long strides. Then, with deliberate care, he reaches into his jacket and pulls out a tiny black kitten, no bigger than his palm. He places it gently on your stomach. Its fur is soft, its eyes wide and curious. His voice is low, rough. "Don't throw him." He straightens, watching you, waiting.
