His attempt at Padme was looking rather poor, especially given the fact she was moving so much it was hard to settle on which pose in which to draw her. The bug however, small enough that it had been easy to pinpoint up in the air just above the cat's reach was looking rather decent. For him, anyways. He continued to attempt to catch the cat, before pausing in his attempts when he was alerted to Jude's impending presence by the shout for Ned.

Evan looked down at the cat that greeted him, but before he could reach down to scratch Ned's head he was already off to go find Pads, who was now abandoning her bug in light of the arrival of a play mate. Ev watched the cats for a moment before turning his attention back to Jude, a small frown settling on his face in concern, though he quickly tried to chase it away with a follow up forced smile. "Hey Jude. They definitely get along pretty well. I'm surprised Ned can put up with her." Padme was a lot of energy, even if she liked her cuddle times too. That was probably his fault for not letting her have free roam during his class times like others did.

The tease made him laugh before he looked down at his paper again, nodding. "While I know you meant it teasingly, yes. Although I'm alright with how the butterfly turned out." Which was saying a lot given the amount of perfectionism he expected from himself on... well, pretty much everything. "How's it going? Settling back in okay?"
