There's a cat in the bar. A new one, one that's never exactly been here before. It's poking around with a look of great glee on his face, getting into everything. Looking at everyone. Wandering up to random strangers and sniffing them.
His human is asleep rather awkwardly at a table, head pillowed in her arms, a pen and a note covered in scribbles by her side. She'd only meant to be close her eyes for a second, but apparently this was not to be.
In the meantime, Orion is happily investigating the bar. Is he investigating you?

Eyes him, grin playing around her lips.
"Let me guess - scruff of the neck?"

“I wasn’t about to cradle it lovingly to my bosom, if that’s what you mean.”
Yes, in other words.

Grins, scooping up Orion to demonstate.
"Like so. Now you try."

He scoots back a little, just in case the cat is thrown at him.

But sighs, and lets Orion down. The cat then slowly begins to stalk Sands, tail lashing.
Mal does...nothing to stop him.

That’s right, cat. Come closer…

One more inch-
-and then a hand comes down, finding his collar.
"Not that I mind, Orion, but he can kick from that angle."

“Can and will,” Sands mutters darkly.

With a small smile.

He smirks, dragging his cigarette.

"Oh, ha."

“I was being serious.”
He leans back in his chair, putting his feet up on the one opposite. Orion did disturb his sleep, after all.

"Well, if you'll excuse me, I may take my leave."

Just for a second.
But in the end, shakes her head and leaves.
