[ The pawprint makes Rideaux much less inclined to want to show up to this meeting, because his immediate thoughts are that it's either an invitation from that "Wizard" clown or Julius's stupid cat finally managed to catch its fat ass up to the rest of them.

Apparently neither of those thoughts are right, though, so. There's that.

Still feels like a jackass talking to a cat though. ]

So, what, are you supposed to be another former X-Class or something? And why did you choose today to finally show up — or show up again, if what you've been saying about having already met us is true?
