This time the ear-flick was genuine. Loki had no intention of spending all, or probably even most, of his time as a kitten. He liked talking too much and had no particular reason to hide. The change was for relaxation purposes only. The answer, though, was ‘maybe’ because the hell of it was that his exclusion did make sense, upsetting though it was. Inclusion did not make sense, and was therefore suspicious.

Everything was just exhausting. The kitten body expressed that by yawning.
