[Well, that's an interesting reaction from a grown man. Unexpected, but really cute, and it's hard not to laugh at it. He should have expected as much from somebody asking for something as sickeningly sweet as a kitten for a gift, really.
It seems to have gone over well, though, so Cynbel takes it as a sign his work is done and quietly leave. Enjoy your new cat and all the furniture destruction it comes with, Katsura.]
[ Katsura perks up when he hears something like laughter and looks around, holding this precious little kitten closer to his body protectively. He looks in the general direction of the laughter. ]
There is nothing to see here-- just father and daughter. State your business.
[Uh oh. He hadn't meant to get caught, and letting himself be known would ruin the point of it being "secret" Santa, right? Before he can think too hard about it, he makes a decision, and he uses the voice of what sounds like a little girl to answer.]

Aaaaahhhh, kitten!
[ His face instantly flushes red as he reaches inside to gently lift her up, looking at her sleepy little face. ]
Kitten-chan, where is your mother? Are you an orphan? Does this mean I'm a father now?
[ too preoccupied to look at the note tbh ]

You're the father of a cat, Mister?
no subject
Yes. I just gave birth.
[ ok everything was wrong with that sentence but whatever--
He looks down at his kitten friend in adoration. ]
I'll have to think of a name.
