[ Sometimes you just need someone else who's been through some shit to get along with, right? Though as far as Amos is concerned in this moment, Gray's just someone who needed some help, and now she's the one helping him.
It's actually not at all surprising things would work out that way.
He stays still when the cat approaches them, looking at its paws more than anything else as it steps forward, bats at the toy.
Yeah, she's a good person, he's decided. So it means a lot that she trusted him to help her — that she's trusting him to play with it a little. He looks in her direction, at the toy, at the stick, and after a moment of hesitation, reaches out to take it.
Gives it a little shake, making the toy bob up and down just a little. He really— He really doesn't know if he's doing this right, and just doesn't want to fuck it up, treating this as seriously as he's treated... well... possibly anything. That's partially reflective of his inebriated state, and partially reflective of an inability to prioritize things the way most people know how to do. This is important to Gray, so it's important to him, full stop. ]
