[He's surprised that Mayoi lets go so suddenly, but it fills Tatsumi with a sort of warmth he hasn't felt since before his injury. Since he last had friends, and followers. His head ducks beside Mayoi's, and he strokes the cat's hair and ears as he cries out whatever is troubling him.
These people... they must've been the sort to be one way to the public and another entirely at home. Cruelty is something else Tatsumi can't stand. This... feels so right that he's worried he's getting carried away. His clothes are becoming soaked through and he's starting to shiver right along with Mayoi, but he wants so badly to keep him. At least he's fairly certain no one would question the church taking on a cat to help out, and his father is so well-respected that no one would challenge a denial of this cat being those people's property.
He'll hold Mayoi for as long as it takes, and he finds that right now he's so otherwise occupied that his leg doesn't bother him at all.]
Poor thing. I'm sorry. You must've been through so much.
