"Maybe people are too busy, or hell maybe they're jus' paranoid. A good dose a paranoia ain't bad t' have in this city," Jerrie offered with a shrug.

"Are you paranoid?" Alonzo asked, crossing his elbows over a pile of boxes stacked against the wall, watching Jerrie as his tail lazily swished behind him.

The torbie's ear flickered as he leaned back on the crate he was sitting on, "I dunno if paranoid's quite th' right word. Cautious mebbe."

"Cautious?" Alonzo repeated, tilting his head slightly. "Sounds interesting, if a bit confining."

"I dunno about confining. Caution's a good thin' t' have after all. Ain't like it really keeps me from much, just means I go inta things with both eyes open."

"So what's it like going through life with both eyes open?" Alonzo found himself asking.

"Well, I'm still alive, so I guess it's goin' well. Get's a little old after a while, but better to pay attention to what's around y' than walk y'self inta trouble," Jerrie responded, pushing his hat back on his head.

Alonzo watched him, smiling slightly. "Well, if it ever gets too old, you should probably talk to some cat about that."

"By tripping, usually," Alonzo replied, remarkably serious as he said it with a straight face.

Jerrie tried to hide a grin at that, "And how does that work for y'?"

"Well, since I spent a lot of time on the floor, it gives me a unique perspective on the world," Alonzo deadpanned. "However, it also means I spend a lot of time laying flat on my face and hoping no one noticed."

"Well y' just gotta find someone who'll pick you up each time then," Jerrie replied with another shrug, but blinked when he realized what he'd said.

Alonzo matched his blink, tips of his ears swiveling back and then forward again. "Yeah," he said softly. "Yeah I guess I do. Maybe I'll trip over them sometime, huh?"
