Curate, connect, and discover
Elplin finishes pampering her new found companion and takes her inside.
“I think I will call you Majora”
The cat meows almost like in agreement and begins to purr. Elplin looks out the window and notices that it is getting dark, she begins to wonder when her roommate will return home. “You would think they would hurry home to meet me” she sighs as she puts the cat down and walks to the couch. May as well watch tv to pass the time.
Elplin eventually falls asleep on the comfy couch but is soon interrupted by the sound of a door. She jerks herself up and looks to the door to see an unfamiliar man who is just as frightened as her by her sudden movements.
“uh, hi you must be Elplin right?” a nervous smile appears on the guy’s face “My name is Rumarin, I left the note on the door’. Elplin rubs her eyes a little bit to adjust her sight and notices Rumarin is carrying a lot of bags at once.
“Hey Rumarin, want any help with those?” she points at the overload of groceries in his arms, the plastic handles are starting to make his hand go purple, but still he musters up some pride and bumps up his chest. “ Na, I got this” you could hear the struggle in his breath as he waddles over to the fridge to put everything away.
“So my mum thought having you be my roommate was a good idea?” Elplin says as she makes her way to the kitchen to get a better look at Rumarin. “Why? Is there a problem with me being here?” Rumarin quickly stands straight and waits for Elplin’s reply, eager to hear her response.
Elplin blushes and quickly looks the other way “NO! I am just surprised is all, ahh I have to ring my mum, yeah tell her I got here safely and all that” she quickly runs upstairs to her room. Rumarin shakes his head and smirks, he notices the TV is still on so he decides to sit down and watch it.
After a couple of minutes of watching tv and listening to Elplin scream at her mother over the phone about him, Rumarin feels a sharp pain in his leg. He quickly lifts his leg up and looks down. He sees Majora staring at him. “ This must be Elplin’s cat or something, her mother could have given me a heads up” He goes to pat her on her fluffy white head but is quickly shooed away by Majora trying to swipe him. She lets out a hiss and runs upstairs to Elpliin.
“Asshole”
Rumarin looks at the time and notices it is almost 10pm. Deciding it was a good time to go to bed he slowly makes his way upstairs, turning off all the lights on his way up. He still hears Elplin carry on to her mum and decided it was just best to just go to sleep.
Rumarin lays in his single bed in his bare room and finally begins to drift asleep until he felt his bed move and soft fur against his leg.
