Kate could do little but beam as she watched the pair interact. While the kittens had passed out on one of the chairs, clearly recharging for nocturnal zoomies, Matt and Lucky were all over each other. It was obvious that this was not a case of Matt having adopted the mutt, but rather things being the other way around. Lucky doted on the man, showing him as much affection as he dedicated his owner.

"What? You don't believe that I'd give up forever to touch you?" With a groan, Kate sat up and stretched, her body aching slightly after that long session of training. "Hey, I just thought that if I played it a few times then maybe the message would come across." Or that Matt would finally close his laptop. Which he did.

"Oh, look at that baby!" Scrunching her nose in amusement, she watched as Matt brought Lucky over, not at all shocked to suddenly feel dog tongue on her face. Getting her mouth away and offering her cheek instead, she ruffled Lucky's fur before Matt stood upright again.

"Huh, maybe we should order dinner instead. I mean, unless you feel like cooking again?" If Matt was going to take Lucky for a walk, pizza would be sure waiting by the time they made it back to the apartment. The guy's at Herman's were always super quick.
