Tea and Crumpets [OPEN VIDEO]

[english_dignity]

Who: Arthur, Crumpet the cat, and you
Broadcast: Video - Open
Action: Cargo bay of the Wunderduck
When: Dec 16th

[Arthur is absolutely beaming into the camera as he holds onto a very ruffled, very grumpy Scottish fold cat despite its deep growling. Clearly, the cat wasn't happy about being shoved into the now-open box in the background of the video, but the nation couldn't be more pleased.]

Happy Christmas a little early, everyone! I hope the gifts you were sent were as good as mine!

This is Crumpet. I've had him for a very long time and raised him myself!

[Holds onto the cat's paw to make it 'wave' to the camera. Crumpet just glares flatly, unimpressed.]

All right. I'll limit my spoiling then.

[english_dignity]

Just enough that he doesn't learn to expect it all the time.

I do have to live with him, after all.

[samahl]

Surprise spoiling every once and a while then?

It's probably for the best, I don't exactly have a hand to spare to pet him all of the time. [He jokes likely about his missing limb because it's not exactly hard for any one on the Wonderduck to notice it.] And I should probably keep the one I have on the controls of the ship when I'm flying it.

[Chuckles, shaking his head. No stranger to soldier humor.]

Yes, I think we'd all prefer that!

[samahl]

So that's a nice limit to the amount of spoiling to start with. I'll only be able to do it when I'm not working.

[english_dignity]

That'll do fine then, I think.

At least I know there'll be multiple pairs of eyes on the old rascal.

[samahl]

Of course. I think we all could do with some pets around being cute.

[Chuckles.]

A little mascot to keep up morale?

[samahl]

Exactly! Animals have a way of brightening spirits, don't you think?

[english_dignity]

They certainly do.

Even grumpy ones.
