Whatever reservations Barnaby had about coming over or even the cat issue, Kotetsu wasn't going to pay a single bit of attention to it. Even if he initially questioned the decision of having any sort of pet around the apartment, he couldn't really find much of a reason to say no. They were hardly as busy as they usually were, and it'd give them something to do with their free time. Not to mention taking another pet off of Rei's full hands would be a big benefit to her.

After what he'd been told days ago, he wanted to make things as easy as possible for her, so if taking in one of her pets to give her more time for herself would be helpful then he was more than ready to say yes as well as convince Barnaby to not be so huffy about it. When he heard Rei's voice from the other side of the door, Kotetsu quickly mumbled over to his partner. "Too bad for you, huh? This old man's memory isn't failing him just yet."

But, Barnaby's attitude seemed to be fine, at least now that Rei had finally answered the door. "Hey! Nothing's wrong. I was bored and Bunny was lonely so we figured you'd be the best bet in helping both of us out!" Kotetsu peered curiously over Rei's shoulder into her apartment. "Was that a dog? Sounds awful yappy."
