cat. In response, the cat shot into the air and after landing on her four legs
hissed threateningly (translation: "Y U NO TALK WITH INSIDE VOICE?!) at the loud boy. She wasn't particularly a mean cat, but she had been startled and the boy looked like he wanted to touch her. She quickly crawled into Eino's backpack and stood inside quietly with only her nose and whiskers peeking out. For a certain angle her gleaming and watchful eyes could also be seen, but she did not plan on leaving the safety of the backpack until all the noise stopped.
"Hello, Hugo!" Eino said as he returned to his seat.
"It has been a long time... Three months?" Usually he spent some time in England, so he had the chance to visit his friends, but not this time, so he was particularly excited to see everyone again.
"How was your summer?" Cuuuute kit- SCARY KITTY
Hugo backed away with a priceless scared look on his face and his arms ready to protect his body. After realizing he was standing there like a lunatic, he used the cowardly backing away as an excuse to plop down on a seat next to his backpack. He was not going to touch that kitty... It looked like it was going to murder him. Breeeeathe in. It was only a bloody cat.
"Um, sorry for that..." he said and eyed the devilish part of the cat's head that was peeking over the edge of Eino's back pack.
"Three months?" Hugo repeated and rolled his eyes up and mouthed the numbers he was counting back.
"Blimey, that's a long time," he said after he was done with his calculations.
"My summer? It was... Okay. I went to France, but I didn't really do anything exciting," he told Eino. He mainly... Slept. A lot.
"It was a bit boring, really. I'm glad to go back to school," he gestured his head towards the window, but they were still in the outer part of London, so school was still a long way ahead.
"And how was yours?" he asked after looking back at Eino. He didn't really know a lot about Eino's plans for the summer. Well at least he knew he didn't get attacked by a bear this time. Silly Eino.
