Adam hesitated, drawn to Alec's evident desire to make Adam like him again. He glanced over, noticing the cat. "Is that one Emily?" he asked. He couldn't tell them apart yet, aside from Persephone. The rest of them just looked like demon cats.

Squatting down, Adam offered his knuckles to the cat, because it was easier to make peace with the cat than with Alec. Emily rubbed her head against his knuckles, purring, so Adam tentatively picked her up and pressed his face into his fur. "I meant what I said and I don't care if you don't believe me," he said, resuming walking, though he definitely did care whether Alec believed him.
