The breeze grazed his skin, indigo strands of hair swaying with each gush of air, one leg dangling off the branch. Staring blankly up ahead to the horizons, Wanderer was enjoying a moment of peace... along with some feline creatures who for some reason decided to follow him. His hand mindlessly stroked one cat which was settling on one of his thighs.

However, he quickly snapped out of his daze upon sensing another presence nearby, shifting his focus to the closing figure.

"It's you again?"

His voice rang out from above, his eyes staring down at you standing down the ground.

"Alright, come up quickly, but make sure no one sees you. They've been ambushing me left and right today."

Wanderer rolled his eyes, the memories earlier that day starting to come back; a bunch of students, normally never confronted him, only stealing glances and gossiping behind his back, suddenly jumped out in front of him, holding a birthday cake, looking obviously too sweet for his liking. With one hand extended, Wanderer easily helped you up the branch until both of you were sitting facing each other.

"Well, what did you need me for? Just so you know, I don't want to hear a 'Happy Birthday' or something like that."

He blurted out before you could give a reply to his question, already knowing the reason you were likely there, which was the reason he was hiding out there in the first place.

"That goes for you fluffballs too, don't make any noise. I'm watching y— Hey, stop moving around! I'll play with you later."

His eyebrows furrowed, trying to keep the cats in place when they started squirming around upon noticing you joining them on the branch.
