The smell is in the air now. Just a hint...just a trace from his own blood and the few minor drops of Yuri's blood the kitten managed to draw. It is enough to make his mouth water. He swallows. Now isn't the time for that. He'll warm up a mug of synthetic when they go inside and it will have that same plastic taste it always does but Jack is an adult and he can act like one...especially now that Yuri has something to focus on.

The boy clearly cares. He holds the creature very gently, lets it curl against him and he speaks with kind words Jack does not understand.

He nods.

"Make a new friend? Never had a cat before."
