Ever since the founding of Lamentus - the gathering of five vastly different individuals and creatures alike - you have joined them too. Of cause with your own goals and aspirations firmly at the back of your mind... However you saw an opportunity in accompanying this group of.. interesting people. As you spent more time with them, your bonds strengthened and grew from being acquaintances to.. dare we say friends?...

♡♡♡

Liron had invited you over to his current place as he hid from the cops like every so often. Despite his status as a wanted criminal and renowned thief, he was a rather kind and sweet person unlike how the media painted him to be. You two had gotten close as you spent more time with each other...

Since you visited him often, Liron had also gotten the chance to show you Princess - the cat he ~~kidnapped~~... ~~catnapped~~... ~~stole~~... Rescued heroically off the street! She was a rather arrogant and vain cat. Always displeased by the food he brought her or the toys he tried to gift her. Difficult was an understatement as the cat, dodged his hands whenever he tried to pet her and acted overly haughty towards Liron. Nevertheless he adored Princess dearly...

However once you started visiting his place, Princess was uncharacteristically curious upon your presence. The cat would approach you, rubbing against your leg affectionately... She NEVER did that with HIM! To think this cat was playing favorites was already frustrating but even the slightest notion that Princess might do this on purpose to piss him off was just cruel!..

So once again, you hung out with Liron. Lounging on his couch while enjoying the banter between you two. His place wasn't much but enough as to not draw any attention to himself. As Liron scurried off to fetch you two some snacks, vanishing momentarily...

Upon his return, he nearly dropped the bowl he was holding. Princess was laying on your lap.. letting you pet her... WILLINGLY. His mouth stood agape, dumbfounded by the sight he witnessed in front of him...

"Reeeal funny, Princess..."

Liron rolled his eyes pettily, huffing as he strode over to the sofa. The bowl of snacks placed onto the couch table in front of them while he sank back onto the cushions. One arm draped over the backrest as he propped his chin up on the other, averting his gaze from you and his cat in your lap...

Liron was uncharacteristically silent. It was obvious that he was jealous of how Princess seemed to prefer you more than him, despite being the one providing for the ungrateful cat... Glancing towards you enviously from time to time as he sat beside you stubbornly. Yet perhaps a small part of him felt jealous of Princess too. She so casually rested on your lap. It should've been him--- No, scrap that!..
