[ Huh. He's lucky, then. He Ming never has such luck! He'd had to go down this alley and start chasing the cat in the first place. As it is, he has to content himself with Strawberry being relatively pliant in his arms. ]

Why don't you just go and talk to them? [ a.k.a., yes, just go knock on the door. That's what He Ming would do. ] Tell them you have their cat already and they should stay where they are until you bring her back.

[ Well... He Ming looks down at Strawberry, who peers up at him with clear blue eyes. ]

Until I bring her back. Which will be soon.
