Well, you're good at playing the hero, I'll give you that.
[ That smile is just too much, but along with the arm over his shoulders and the easy way Charles slips into a joking rhythm with him, it's almost suffocating. Is this what Charles is like with the people he hangs around with, when he's decided he likes someone instead of deciding he'd rather knock their whiskers off than give them a chance? The Cat knows he's done very little to deserve Charles' time or attention, but under the comfortable weight of it now, he's starting to think he should have put in a truckload more effort, if it feels this good. Or maybe he's just incredibly lonely and will settle for anything. ]
There must be something wrong with the mirror. I'll get some cats to take a look, make sure everyone in the office is alright.
[ The moment he says that, two cats scamper down the street and into the propped-open front door of the Tongue & Tail, as if summoned by just his simple words, with no spell or anything like that; the true might of a Cat King. ]
I don't recommend trying to hop back through without checking its safe first, or until you remember how. Mirror jumping can be dangerous, especially if you don't know what you're doing. But don't worry. [ He smiles, warm and welcoming, but always with that little dangerous sparkle in his eyes. ] I'll look after you. You'll be safe here.
