first meowting
It had been a while since he was able to go for a run, both work and his at home life was satisfying, yes, but also strangling as if something was missing. But Vision always shrugged it off, deeming it unworthy of his time when he already has so much to be responsible for.
That's why he should keep his pace, not slow down for a brunette loudly chastising a brightly orange coloured cat. But he hesitates too much and the memory of his friends deeming him too pure of heart gets pushed away so he can gently observe the bizarre scene.
“ uhm.. Miss- not to be rude, but is everything alright? '' the blonde finds his voice, after mulling it endlessly over his head. Thankfully the dark haired female does not appear to be annoyed, rather an amused grin splits across her face, and he has no idea why but it feels oddly intense. Something was incredibly off, mystic even
Although the pungent air seems to leave as she stands up not before scoffing at the cat once more. “ Nothing’s wrong deary, just dealing with the strays.” the stranger replies, “ don’t you hate how disobedient they are? Never listening to a single word… oh apologies i should introduce myself, I'm Agnes. I see you seem to be interested in this… creature. “
At its mention the feline hisses, stuck between a defensive and offensive pose to the too cheerful female. ( and ) it was then, he finally had a better look at the cat, with her shiny looking coat, dark striking eyes-- yet despite being a cat, it held a pose like it wasn’t quite sure what to do with its body. Seeing such distress made disgust, and sympathy well up into him in mass amounts.
“ Oh, I see… but i think harassing the poor little thing isn't justified. “ he remarks, surprised at the annoyance in his tone. So he awkwardly tries to cough it away, flushing just slightly at his reaction. “ I’m Victor Shade, but my friends typically prefer to call me vision, also I am slightly curious but nothing more. “
Maybe he regrets opening so much up to this stranger as she only seems to brighten up more, only haltering when she seemingly stops herself from laughing. Why would one even… before he can question her, a hiss can be heard as she picks up the cat.
“ like hell you aren’t! Good thing this cat has to go somewhere, and look at that you seem to be trustworthy. “ Agnes says, clearly getting a kick of dismissing his arched uncomfortable pose, in order to carelessly slump the cat into his arms. “ awe look the thing likes you!”
It was a lie, of course the cat would appear to be more settled in someone’s arms who wasn’t yelling or hitting it, and he nearly expresses such until the feline hesitantly settles in his arms. Slowly, and shyly like she was finding some kind of solace and relaxation in the strangers arms. Probably just thankful to be away from Agnes he supposed.
“ no I can’t… I ha- “ Vision goes to refuse, only to of course be interrupted by an excited whoop. “ I know children right, I'm sure this thing will settle in nicely. Don’t worry Wanda can not exactly bite anymore, can you?” and this time she does cackle, although Agnes does have the decency to a look a little flustered afterwards.
“ How did you… i will not- “ and as if on signal, he is interrupted again, the grin on the females face even more unsettling. “ uh huh whatever, not listening to Vision! It’s been a pleasure dumping my responsibilities on you but i have a meeting to attend too. Toddles! “
Then she’s gone, and his left gawking with a cat settling into his chest, hissing into the abyss that was Agnes.
“ That was certainly something… “ he mutters wondering if he was still somehow asleep, but then he feels a paw on his chest, and a very human-like amount of guilt in green eyes. “ no not you, you’re fine… Wanda, right? I won’t throw you out do not worry. “ he coos, feeling sadness replace whatever anger he had for this peculiar situation. It felt wrong to abandon Wanda so soon, and he kicks himself mentally for getting an almost human attachment this quickly. “ Let’s head home shall we?”
Lovely jog halted, new bared responsibility, he couldn't help but feel like this was an unwarranted turning point he was now forced to face, for the better or worse he was yet to find out.
