Ari looked towards his office, wondering if he had carried the trapped critter in there, having not fully understood the conversation they'd had but to her it sounded like the trap had worked. She walked up to his office, pausing for a moment in the door way, feeling like she had to ask for permission first but...he'd basically given it to her by telling her where to find him. "So...we got the cat?" She asked, taking a couple steps into the room.

Ari stopped in front of the desk, a frown crossing her lips when he said no then held up the fur, which reminded her a bit of fluffed up yarn. She slowly took it from his finger tips, pursing her lips slightly, "okay...where did you find this?" She asked, "in the trap?" She asked, not quite buying this whole story but seeing something flicker in his eyes made her pause.

Ari nodded slowly, trying to figure out how a cat could trick a trap like that, "is this the only fur you've found?" She asked, wondering if there were spots where there was more fur, if that was the case she might be able to find better spots to set more traps to catch the cat in time. 

"We should set the trap in that spot then," she said as she started to think of different way she could try to trap this cat, if there really was one in the first place. Besides the fur and this apparent dead mouse she didn't see any evidence of a stray cat calling this place home. She tried not to point out to Cedrick that the mouse could have died from natural causes, not wanting to bring down his confidence. She smiled back a little, "alright...maybe I should go get some more traps to set..."

Ari frowned, hand drifting up and tightening her pony tail a little as she tried to think of a solution. "Well if traps aren't working what are we going to do? I don't think it would be a very good look if I stalked through this place with a net." She partially joked, having to do that in the past, but usually that was with hard to catch dogs, not cats.

Ari pursed her lips, she'd have to try something to get this cat. "Well, I want to try everything to get it," she said, not wanting to add in the if in regards to whether a cat really was here or not, "at least that way if I get it I can make sure that its healthy, even if the cats a master at catching mice it can't live off of them forever." She said with a bit of worry entering her voice.

"That could work." Ari said with pursed lips, instantly thinking about those box traps on tv where a cardboard box was propped up with a stick connected to a rope that would be pulled to trap them. She had a feeling they weren't very affective. "I'll held back to the shelter and see what I can get to set up these traps." She told him, making a list in her head of what she would need, not realizing that her stomach growled.

Ari looked up at him, "okay," as she followed him through the arcade to where the trap was she searched the area with her eyes, looking for any sign of a cat. She tried not to show the disappointment on her face when she didn't see anything that could support there being any cat in the area. She crouched down in front of the trap, picking it up and looking at it from different angles but couldn't figure out what went wrong. With a shake of her head she stood up, "it must have jammed or something." 

"Well I want to find out." Ari said, more to herself than to him as she tried to think about how she could catch this critter, at first not hearing his question. "Hm?" She turned to look at him, hand drifting up to the spot to where she had hit her head, "it's fine, I had a little bit of a head ache the day after but so far I've been alright." Ari told him with a little smile.

"Yeah, me too, I can't afford to be out of commission." She joked, having too much to handle just at home with the animals, then there was regular household chores, the girls, the shelter, she could only imagine the domino affect there would be if she couldn't work for even a day. She didn't think he seriously cared about her wellbeing, that he was just being polite, she wasn't used to other people caring about her in such a way, even when he parents were alive they rarely checked in on her, trusting that she was doing well away from home an d was being their 'perfect' daughter. "Uh," she grimaced a little, "I'll have to head back to the shelter and get it, I just walked over here as soon as I got your call." She was also impulsive, a trait that she couldn't seem to get control of no matter how hard she tried.

Ari frowned a little, catching how it seemed like he had wanted to speak then thought better of it. She wasn't going to push him on it, if it was important he would have said it. She tucked a stray hair that had worked itself free from her pony tail behind her ear. "I did, when you said that you found something I just wanted to get here and I figured fresh air would do me some good." She said with a slight smile though she realized it probably hadn't been her most professional idea but in a small town like this it was easy to get comfortable, hell she sometimes saw pizza being delivered by a walking delivery boy instead of driven, it just seemed normal but she realized to someone that wasn't from here it might not be the best look.

"I should go back and get some supplies," she told him, reminding herself of the limited time frame they had to find the possible cat. "I'll be quick but I might stop and get something to eat first," she frowned a little at the hunger pains that were starting to register...had she had breakfast? Probably not, she didn't remember eating anything, she just got out of bed and got ready for the day. 

"True, he hasn't left all this time so why would he now," she said thoughtfully, "though it leaves me to wonder if he has a secret way outside or uh...what he's using as a litter box." She grimaced a little, hoping the beast wasn't causing too much damage and though she wanted evidence of his existence she didn't really want to stumble upon a pile of poo or an area soaked in urine. "Oh, no I haven't," Ari shook her head, "I've thought about going there but I haven't gotten around to it."

Ari grimaced, she couldn't say if that was a good or bad thing because either it meant he had a really secret spot or there was some kind of hole in the building that could cause more issues than just letting a stray cat in and out. She considered stopping at the place he had recommended, she could probably grab something on the way. Ari looked up at Cedrick, not stopping herself from speaking, "did you eat today?"
