A present that greatly preferred Bert, apparently. Nariko stared at the little ball of fluff but ultimately couldn't help herself. She took it from him and let it sit awkwardly on her chest while her fingers petted just behind its little ears. Upset or not she could feel herself relaxing. She could be mad at Roland, at herself, at her parents, but never something so cute and innocent. It was some weird mental trigger.
"It's because she knows that trying to force me to do anything doesn't work. She's making it all into something it doesn't need to be and I have a right to be upset about it." But that was also between herself and Kaine, there was no pulling Bert into it so she let he topic go and stepped back to let him in..
"More importantly, what is there to badmouth? He's being himself and I was the idiot. A lot of this is my fault." Which, of course, was what had infuriated Kaine so much. "Now the four of you are back together." Nariko shrugged but for such a short gesture it seemed as depressed as she felt. She kept playing with the kitten, though, letting it gnaw on her fingers. "If that makes you all happy then I don't think it's the world ending affair Kaine does."
