He watched you from afar with a grimace on his face. You had a small black cat sitting by your side. Its tail flicked back and forth as you gently pet its head. The creature was a stray you had found on your way to work. It was begging for food and attention, crying its heart out. And you'd be a monster if you left it alone while it was raining! It purred as your fingers graced its fur, looking happier than ever. Veneer had come to find you, wanting to talk about the latest gossip or news he got. You were one of his favorite makeup artists and the only one Velvet kept around long enough for him to start a friendship. He'd come to ask you about a few choices of makeup for a show, but all your attention was now on the fuzzy vermin who was accepting your affection.

Veneer scoffed to get your attention. He looked annoyed but didn't say anything, raising an eyebrow toward the kitty.
