[You see, Clamor's broom is very useful. Clamor himself is pretty good too.

Noah's going to just... casually ignore that whole thing about how fighting people puts them off of friendship and stuff, it's fine. Everyone in this school is a goddamned psychopath anyway, this isn't any worse than Komaeda or Moriarty, who was... up to something, frankly. Whatever.]

Uh... no, not really. I don't know what I'd bribe them with. I mean, a while ago — when I first came here — I found cat food for them and I fed them, but the black cat wasn't all that interested in what I was offering. —Also, I didn't attack the black cat, I was just trying to spook it!

[Noah, it's a cat. That's like, the same thing.]

[Childe has never quite considered himself good with animals. Okay with them, certainly, but aside from patting the odd stray dog here and there in Liyue's stoney harbor he's never gone out of his way to seek affection from a pet of any sort. He didn't mind them, it was just as simple as he had more pressing matters to attend to when it came to winning the hearts of little furred creatures.]

Generally speaking, spooking things tends to get them mad at you. So I'm gonna have to say the anger is probably justified. [He hums thoughtfully, tapping his foot a little as he mulls things over] Maybe it was offended by the idea that you thought it couldn't feed itself. Seems like the type to be self sufficient, maybe you have to earn its respect through hunting, or... [It dawns on him that he's now humanizing this cat, and after a moment he simply makes a face at his own words. This is so incredibly off topic.]

...it's a cat. [Shut up, catboy.] I mean — don't cats bring humans prey because they think humans can't feed themselves? So the cat would be a hypocrite if it got mad at me for trying to feed it.

["It's a cat", Noah says, and then goes on to do the same damn thing Childe just did. As if the black cat has any understanding of what it means to be hypocritical. That little furball is only interested in guarding corpses and yeeting Noah off to the void.]

What would I hunt here, anyway? Oh — I guess there were rats in the walls several months ago, but I think they're gone now. And, if I brought the cat a rat, it would be the same to it as me bringing it regular old cat food, so it would probably still be offended.

[Sound logic.]
