[Joji]
A stroke here and there, soon a realistic painting of a cat replace the blank surface of the white paper. The young boy smiles as he complete yet another drawing. Lifting up the finished artwork, Joji take some time to admire his own work before adding it onto the other completed drawings pilled up beside him. He then proceed to take out another white paper to start a new drawing.
He originally came here to the library to read, but as always, he ends up abandoning the book aside to draw. His five loyal pet cats watches him silently, as if they are his bodyguards. Kami, the largest of the cats, yawns and stretches before looking around the small corner that the boy is in.
The library is quiet today, not much people are here. That's how the boy likes it, peaceful and quiet. He had hid himself behind a bookshelf in the farthest corner of the library. He feels safer being in a small place after all.

[Pied Piper]
The man with raven hair walked down the hallways of the big castle. He was looking for a remote, quite room, where he could play his flute in peace.
Piper continued to walk, passing some rooms, until he came across the door leading to the library. He blinked his brown eyes - maybe it would be calm in there? It usually was. Maybe there were some rats in this part of the castle he hadn't yet met.
He didn't waste much time walking to the door and opening it very quietly. As he observed from the doorway, the didn't seem to be much anyone inside. The young man continued further, looking around a bit. The library was pretty and filled with shelves full of all kind of books. The piper smiled a bit, digging up his flute as he walked. Now, of to find some comfortable little corner...

Kami's ears twitches as it heard footsteps approaching. The other four cats seems to have notice too. Joji is too engrossed in his drawing than he didn't see Kami standing up and walk away, leaving their master and other cats.
The blue eyed cat walk out of behind the bookshelf, its tail held upright. From a distance, it can see that someone is coming. It remains alert and watches the figure.

[Pied Piper]
He was aware that one of his rats, Camilla, tensed on Piper's shoulder. The rat forced herself down through the collar of Piper's clothes, making him create a small noise at the tickling tiny rat feet against his skin.
Silly things his rats were. Cordelia and Christopher were sleeping in his hood.
The piper sighs, continuing to walk. He sees a cat out of the corner of his eye - did it belong to someone? Or was it someone? The piper squinted his eyes, so in his thoughts that as he turned, he didn't even realize he had almost stumbled right into someone. A small boy. He couldn't help but startle when he realized someone else was there, and almost dropped his flute from his hand with an yelp.

[Joji]
Joji looks up upon hearing the cats around him hissing and growling. The first thing he noticed is the large shadow overlapping his own before he feels someone's legs behind him.
"Aah!" The young boy yelp in surprise as he turn his head around. He looks up to the man that almost stumble on him with a nervous expression. Out of the corner, Kami returns to Joji's side and joins in the hissing and growling at the unexpected guest.
"I-I'm sorry...ah- you guys, stop it!" The brown haired boy mumbles out a apology and look at his cats. They really don't like the man for some reason.

[Pied Piper]
The cat was hissing. The piper grit his teeth before taking a few steps back, tightening his hold of his flute.
"A-ah... sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going", he apologized to the boy. The piper blinked his eyes, observing the other. There were quite many cats around him, and he had art equipment around himself. Who was he.
"...huh, haven't seen you before...", he mumbled out. "...what's with all the cats?" He could feel his rats burrowing deeper in his clothes.

"Guys..." Joji doesn't like it when the cats gets so defensive around new people. But it is just how they have been. The cats seems to understand their master and stop their hissing and growling, and obediently returns to his side. But they still keep a watchful eye of the raven haired man.
"Ah, I'm Joji, The Boy Who Drew Cats...and these are my cats." The young boy says as he pets Iro, the smallest one of the five with heterochromia eyes.
"I apologize for their behaviour, they don't really like strangers..."

"...they sure don't seem to like strangers", he said with a small, amused smile crossing his face. He held his well-meaning laughter when the boy said his name.
"Well, you sure live up to your name!" the piper said, his voice quite happy. He was quite for a moment before opening his mouth again, "I am Pied Piper."
He decided to kneel down onto the boy's and the cat's level, hoping he wasn't too intimidating.

"N-nice to meet you, Mr Piper..." Joji stutters a reply. As Piper kneel down to his level, it just makes the young boy even more nervous. The cats are still glaring at the other intensely.
"A-ah! You should...sit down..." He feels bad that the man is kneeling down just for him. He quickly grab the pile of cats drawings beside him and roll it up to put it into his bag. The bell on his left hand rings as he pack the drawings away. He turns back towards the piece he was drawing and decides to pack it away as well, he doesn't like to draw while others are looking.

"Just piper is fine... "mister" makes me feel old", he said with light, amused tone to the other.
"Don't worry, it's just alright... ah, are you drawing something?" He asked, his eyes twinkling and voice curious as he tilted his head slightly. The boy seemed adorable in his own way, and Piper couldn't help but smile. He wasn't sure how old the other was, but he seemed a lot like a child. Sweet and innocent.
"I don't mean to peek my nose in, just simply... curious."

"Ah, s-sorry..." Joji apologize quickly and looks down to his lap, hiding his red face.
"Y-yes, just...cats." He nervously scratches his cheek. It is not like he isn't proud of his own drawings, but it feels embarrassing to show it to others. Not to mention he can only draw cats, he just can't draw other things without it turning into a shape of a cat.
Somehow the cats are a bit more relaxed around Piper now, but they can't help but getting interested at the man's scent. Kami silently walks towards the other, not in a threatening way, but more of being curious.

"Oi, no need to apologize", he gently said, giving a warm look to the other. He was usually very good with young people. He hoped the other wouldn't be fearful.
"That's cute, though... can I maybe see your drawings?" He asked, tilting his head a tiny bit. He smiled again, "I can't draw really at all, you know. It's a good skill you have there."
His rats were still shaking inside his clothes. The piper mused he'd probably play some tune soon to calm them down.

[Joji]
As the other asks to see his drawings, Joji immediately gets conscious of the bag of drawings behind him. His face turns red again as he starts fidgeting with his fingers. "Y-you would lose interest soon...it is just all...cats..."
It is not like he doesn't want to show it to Piper, but usually people will ask him why doesn't he draw other stuffs other than cats. He is such a good artist they said, and they know he can draw other things too. It gets frustrating sometimes.
Meanwhile, Kami is watching the man intensely, especially at a bulge in the man's shirt.

"Oh come on, I do like animals. Cats, especially yours, are very adorable", the older male answered with a light chuckle as he edged closer. The cats still seemed suspicious about him.
"Besides, you can draw whatever you want. No one should tell you what you should and shouldn't draw", he continued slowly, "if you want to draw cats, draw cats."
One of his rats was moving inside hood, making a few tiny noises. Probably slightly anxious, poor fellow.

[Joji]
Upon hearing what Piper said, Joji quietly lifts up his head and stares at the older man with his big, brown eyes. It was the first time someone told him that. He remember his older reincarnation, which he went and became a famous artist, and how his fame slowly faded away because everyone seems to got tired of just cats.
"...T-thank you..." Joji smiles a little. But then he notices Kami had gotten away from the others and are staring at the other's hood instead. It's blue eyes seems to be mesmerized by the hood.
"Huh? Kami-" Before he can finish his sentence, the cat leap and attaches itself onto the hood.
