Lagos leans into the gossip, listening and taking mental notes. Don't worry, he'll pass this all on to Ryo. And wow, if cat Athena is that bad, maybe they should introduce her to Caissa and show her how a real cat acts.

"Thank you." For managing things and for handing over the note. He smooths out the paper and reads it. It's a simple enough note, though the mention of cats being contrary brings a hint of a smile on his face - which he tries to hide from Thanatos, as Thanatos is very evidently upset at that same cat. "I'll be back soon."

It's a good twenty minutes at least before he gets back - the transgates make traversing the train easy enough, but it was still a matter of getting the door open, doing a thorough job checking Washington over, and...honestly, petting the cat.

(He'd been impressed that the cat opened the door from the inside to let him in, and it had been very fluffy. He couldn't help himself.)

He finds Thanatos and stops, not sure if Thanatos wants an update on the person he'd essentially disowned. He goes for neutral ground instead: "Did I miss anything?"

Lagos warbles conspiratorially to Mort in the meantime. Cat Athena definitely isn't as good as Caissa, but she did let Ryo pet her. That's one point in her favor. Only one.
