Perhaps she was to knock over and destroy someone's computer. Maybe she would cause a car accident if she spent much longer out here. Regardless, He Ming waits for Strawberry to nibble one of the treats from his hand before swiftly scooping her up in his hold. ]
I'm going to take her home! [ Somewhat to his own surprise, Strawberry doesn't claw at him, just settles in with an affronted meow, tail all puffed out.
He Ming allows himself an exhale of relief. ] ...see? She'll be just fine with me.
