[It seems someone has decided to change his voicemail following graduation. Hes trying so hard to sound professional, business like, but Hanna's usual enthusiasm bleeds through easily.]

You have reached the mailbox of Hanna Cross. If you don't have an appointment, my secretary will follow up with a return message shortly. [a short pause.] meaning me. I'll get back to you, don't worry.

And if this is an emergency what are you doing on the phone? Cardio is your friend. byyyye!

Honestly I think the Admiral doesn't think about it too much when it comes to who he picks, but humans change a lot in their life, it comes naturally...

In my experience that isn't so true of the supernatural. They live longer, or have natural instincts, and changing it would be fundamentally wrong. I get that, but I think he's stopped knowing the difference between nature and learned behavior. [As much as Hanna plays the idiot and is one at times, he actually is decent at detective work, doing research, it's the practical application of that knowledge that gets him stumbling sometimes if he has to work it out. He never has the right thing to say at the right moment.]

We're due for one though, so maybe we'll be lucky. Also, um. This is a weird ask, but if you think of anyone who might actually get along with him, that's not a cat? Maybe push them his way. He's going to try to go to ground I think, and it can't just be me and his cats that try and pull him out of it cause it probably won't work so well...

What kind of people does he usually get along with?

I'll try, at least. I like cats. And even if he's awful and jealous at me, that's at least some proof that he cares about Iago after all.

[falkeditupagain]

He does care about a respect, so not someone who is going to take to harrassing him in response to him being an ass, I suppose. He holds grudges like nobodies business, but I think that's kind of a cat thing? I dunno...

And I have to wonder, does he know you and Iago are close? I've never heard him say a peep about you, but that doesn't mean he doesn't...just that he tells me fuck all.

[deuceoftears]

I haven't checked in with him or anything, but he's a cat, I figured he could like...you know, tell.

[Smell it.]

[falkeditupagain]

Oh...yeah? Maybe? [...] More than maybe actually.

I cheat with that, but that's thanks to the admiral. It was kind of irritating having him comment on my hygiene all the time when there's like fuck all I can actually do about it so all he gets off me is calming cat pheromones, like those plug-in thingies for people with cats that hate each other? He stopped trying to hit me so much after that, I don't know if he's even realized I did it and it's been like...six months.

Would it be a good or bad idea to throw catnip at the situation, do you think?

[falkeditupagain]

Hmmm.

[Hanna taps his cheek as he thinks about it.]

I think if you did he might get real wise to the fact that you're trying maybe a little too hard? I'd leave the nip to Aerith. She's his supplier.

[deuceoftears]

We'll save it as a provocation for if other things don't work, then.
