Maybe it was time for her to scoot away from the owl? Josh certainly seemed to be sending that signal. "Are you feeding her enough?" Kurumi didn't know of any owls that would want to eat people.
Kurumi's eyes widened when Josh mentioned Walnut's, erm, somewhat lack of tiolet training when it came to the older Gryffindor. "A-Are your robes alright?" she asked, sending the cat a glare. "Walnut seems to have changed his mind about peeing on your things recently. He seems to be angry whenever he sees the color yellow now." Which was very odd.
No, silly Pineapple boy, your things are safe for the day. Really, it wouldn't kill the boy for him to bend down and give him a nice solid scratch behind the ears would it? Perhaps some worship on his belly or under his chin?
But then, he heard the goddess herself call out his name. Bells sounded and the kitty was bathed in the scent of roses. MY ROOOOOOOOOSE PRINCESS! the cat purred as he jumped onto the seat and began to purr. Yes, this human knew how to worship and make his stubby paws curl.
Was he feeding her enough? That was, indeed, a good question. Of course, nothing less could be expected from the Lioness Princess.
''The last time i tried to actually feed her, which was about two years ago, she tried to take my nose and right ear too. I do like my nose and right ear as they come in handy. So i haven't tried to so ever since.'' Eyeing the bird again, he wondered for an instant if Carter's owl was any different from this unstable, wild girl. Well...he hoped so since it was going to be kind of hard to handle two flesh-hungry, psyho birds.
''But i let her free all the time. So i believe she is able to find her own food. Since she is still alive and...energetic enough to attack.'' Yeah, that totally made sense.
Then his dark brown eyes moved from the bird to the lioness then to the cat, King Pee. Robes? Well...it was actually robe since he only had one yet no one needed to know that little, unimportant detail.
''Yeah. I suppose so. I did my best to wash it off. At least...the smell is gone.'' As he spoke, he leaned down and petted the cat a bit as he seemed to be all friendly right now yet he rose back and stared at Kurumi since what she had said next was...weird but interesting for he had never heard a cat getting obsessed or annoyed by a colour.
''Colour yellow? Really? Eh...it's good that i don't have a yellow shirt or anything. And i'll make sure not to bring one next term.''
Wait? Was the cat...approaching to his girlfriend? It definitely was and...oh...it did not look like he was going to pee on her.

Ah?
Staring at the girl for a moment or so, Josh just...smirked. She probably would not have listened to him. Apparently she did not know what he did to those who tried to ignore him yet...there was also the fact that he would never do that to a lady. And yes, Selina was a lady. Not only a lady but also a friend. So, she was perfectly safe no matter what she did.
''I can't say that is a bad choice, Selina, but please do always bear this in mind; not listening to my words won't always lead you to the right path.'' Especially when it was about...guys. Like...the last girl he had warned about the BigHead Boy Finny was Sophie and as expected, she was broken hearted by him.
SPOILER!!: Simon

Not that either situation was something the graduating Gryffindor was part of all to often, other then dealing with his older brother that was.
Simon looked down as a certain feline made his presence known by rubbing against Josh's leg. "Gonna miss me, Walnut?" he asked rhetorically with a smile as he reached down and scratched the feline behind the ears. Looking around he could almost feel the tension between Evelyn and Selina and tried to decide how best to defuse things when he remembered what he had to do.
"Oops I almost forgot...I have gifts for you tow as well," he said looking between Josh and Selina as he straightened back to his feet seeing as Kurumi had already been given her own. The boy dug into his other robe pocket and pulled out the small wrapped parcel before turning and reaching up onto the rack and pulling down the broom he wasn't keeping for his own use and was very nearly new.
"For you..." Simon spoke holding the broom out to his bestie to take. As he had mentioned to Kurumi, he wasn't planning on playing much after school and it seemed a shame for him to keep both broom gifts from his birthday and Josh had no broom of his own. "And no arguments...I'm giving it to you and thats final," he added with a smirk having anticipated the older boy would probably protest.
"And for you Selina," he said turning to the younger Gryffindor, offering the box to her. Simon hoped he had made the right decision and she liked what he had chosen for her. The sentiment had been the most important part which he would explain once she had seen what was inside.
As usual, Simon had his reasonable points about something. And Josh very well understood his worries about that he might get himself into bigger troubles during the summer yet Josh Carter was Josh Carter and he had his standards, principles and...answers...again as usual. And that included getting one's hands dirty or not.
''You very well know, Si. I would never hesitate to get my hands dirty if i happen to think that it is necessary.'' And this case was, no matter how much he had tried to let it go, getting bigger and bigger everyday.
''So nope. It wouldn't be as satisfying. At least not for me.''
Right after he voiced the last word, the Gryffindor boy's attention was about to slip back to the cat yet Simon completely had it back the next moment as he mentioned....gifts.
Gifts?
For him too? Now that was not something he was expecting.
And before he could say anything Josh found his bestie presenting a broom for him. That was...his gift? But...no.
''Simon, there is no way i can...'' ...take this. Yet again, that attempt was blocked by the other lion boy's next words. No arguments. He wanted his word to be final. So, blinking a few times with deeply surprised eyes, he slowly reached to take the broom. Well then, at least it could be commemorative gift for him from a good friend. It was his own after all, right? He had not bought it though it looked new. There were no places around Hogwarts to buy a broom.
''Um...thank you. But...should not it be me instead who needed to give something to you?'' SPOILER!!: Evelyn

No matter, there was always the next train ride to look forward to. Besides. Josh was way more important than the kitty. On the other hand, it didn't make the hazel eyed girl any less nervous as her imagination ran through plenty of ideas on what Josh needed to talk about. "Yes, of course..." she muttered, turning her gaze away from the kitty and to her boyfriend.
...
"Now...?" Like, right now did he want to talk?
As troublesome as a prefect?
Upon hearing that Josh couldn't help but let a short laughter out. But it had no sarcasm in it of course, it just made him laugh...because she had actually compared him with a prefect. Once his laughter was over, there was a warm smile on his face as he still stared at his girlfriend. For a certain reason. He had always been, somehow, misunderstood and mistaken for an aimless troublemaker. But nope, Josh Carter did not cause trouble for fun. At least not since maybe...his third year. It was all because of his uncontrolable, short temper and apparently Evelyn knew it pretty well. She did not mistake him for a constant troublemaker.
Then she agreed to talk and asked if it was going to be right now. Yet...Josh was not really feeling like answering that, he just kept staring with a smile until...
...he simply walked forward, wrapped his arms around her waist and kind of...locked his lips with hers.
...
Then...he was not sure after how long, yet, he had remembered there were others in the compartment.
Eh?
So, he supposed he had to pull away before they would freak out, no matter how much he wanted to keep it. As a result, pulling away he just whispered
''Yes, if it's okay with you.'' as a late answer to her question.
