Affection... Bonds? [He gives Gale quite the flat look really thinking Pumkinpatch has picked the wrong person for this, but she hasn't. Tolerating her will become easier with time and eventually he will become quite affectionate, but that was neither here nor there in this moment. They will bond with time, she just needs to wear him down first.
It was good that cats were independent though, he doesn't want to give her the same time of day he would have to give a dog. He was willing to adopt her for her usefulness, nothing more. (lies)
The mention of trophies gets something of a chuckle from him.]
If she wishes to show off her prowess for killing, by all means, I will not be bothered by such. In fact, it will be reassuring to see such knowing she is doing her purpose, as I have no other reason for adopting such a creature.
[Said creature gets up on her hindlegs to balance against him and reeeeeeeeeeach for his hand for some pets. He just gently bats her away, but then she takes that as playing and bats back at him.]
