[killed]

[ He doesn't remember Komaeda stating that he could be bringing a dead animal in with him. It's not as though Hiyori is a complete stranger to it or even particularly squeamish. His owners lost a pair of exotic birds to him as a kitten, and indoor cats are well known for killing for fun. ]

... Let me show you where the kitchen is. It'll be a better work area for you, and I can get you a knife and any other supplies you need.

[ He would rather not have his owners walk in to find a pool of blood. It won't be much better in the kitchen, but it'll at least be more reasonable. His ears prick, one ear angling to the side and his tail remaining low. ]

Will you need help...?

[ He'd rather not touch a dead raccoon, but it's rude for a host to simply dismiss something that a guest has brought for them in good faith.

Hiyori is going to be scolded for making such a mess in the house... ]

[ He's a bit too tactful to tell him how inconsiderate it is to drag a dead animal across the floor the same way a killer does their victim's corpse in a horror movie, but nor can he simply ignore it. ]

Er... Let me get that for you...

[ His face scrunches up as he bends over, turning his head away as his hand reaches out the same way a much might when lifting up something vile. He smooths his expression over seconds later, lifting it up and holding it a fair bit away from him. It might as well be trash in his hand, and it's awkward while his other holds the mushrooms, but he does find the right angle to keep it from dripping onto the floor so much.

He'll have to ask somebody to clean this up as well, but it's not as bad as it could be, right...? ]

Yes, I'm adept at working with my hands. My owners taught me how to work on other living creatures, in addition to other things...

[ So in all honesty, he could probably pick up on whatever he might need to fairly easily. He's just being prissy about it. ]

You're not a vampire nor a mosquito, Kocchan, you shouldn't be drinking blood...

[ But he complies well enough, closing one eye as he adjusts his grip well enough to keep the thing from dripping onto the floor. He'd rather not make more of a mess than needed. There's a puzzled look at the mention of the brain as well, though he manages to keep his smile fixed in place. To his credit, he does well in keeping his thoughts to himself.

Why are strays so disgusting... He's glad he's never been one... ]

But yes, as I promised I made sashimi, if you'd like some...

[ It's fur is so course and dirty... It's difficult, but he's trying not to get nauseous over something that was done as a kindness... ]

[ His ears lay to the side then perk up, and he visibly recoils as he sees the bug crawling around on it... But that, along with the sight of Komaeda dipping his fingers into the blood, are more than enough to distract him from the bend of his tail. ]

You don't have to say it like that.

[ He mumbles, not quite able to hide his unhappiness with the repeated comparison. There's nothing wrong with how he is. He's just cleaner, and better cared for. What's wrong with that? Shouldn't another cat be happy enough to be taken in? It's bad enough that he calls him by his owner's surname... He supposes it is his too, but it's not something anyone else uses for him. ]

I'd rather not it come from something so filthy, but... [ It's more blunt than he should be, but he can't help but stare at the dead animal. The blood is getting over his claws as they dig into the fur and flesh from his grip tightening, and from there staining his hands. He corrects himself, ] No, excuse me, it shouldn't matter. I suppose it couldn't hurt to try.

[ He has to be willing to concede a little. ]

[ How shameless for a dirty stray to look down on him so. Fortunately, Hiyori is above repeated com plaints and efforts to belittle someone. His tails swishes slowly behind him, thumping against a cabinet as it does so. He jerks a little bit as the dead creature in his arms seems to convulse from the joint pressure of Komaeda pushing down and Hiyori's hand twitching.

He would've liked to have at least been spared the bloodsplatter. ]

... It's not a matter of taste. It kills parasites and other harmful organisms. My owners ensured that I wasn't at risk of disease.

[ Besides, he can eat other levels of done just fine! He enjoys a medium rare steak , and he's fond of sashimi... But those are items for people with rich tastes, so they won't count. He wishes his owners were here now, really. He wants attention and praise, and he wants a normal meal, and a bath... ]

I can eat medium well, but, t'm not terribly familiar with how to cook raccoon... I suppose baking it would be the easiest way.

[ He's happy not to have it in his hands anymore, but it doesn't seem right to leave it all to him. He's of a higher class and he needs to act like it. ]
