On his way to Uni, he drops off more food and finds the hybrid sleeping. The hybrid doesn't seem to keep a schedule, which is perhaps smarter than a set routine. People tend to notice if a person shows up at the same place every day. If the hybrid is caught lurking, someone might become suspicious and find the little home he has made in the alley. Once again showing that the hybrid is smarter than he thought. Hoseok is pleased to see that the hybrid is wearing the clothes he left. The smile he gets from that knowledge lasts him all day, through all his difficult classes and during his shift at the restaurant. Several people commented on how happy he seemed, but he just brushed them off, saying he doesn't know what they were talking about. Over the next week or so, Hoseok continues dropping off food and the few times the hybrid has been there and awake. He has simply watched Hoseok's actions, judging him silently. Hoseok stared back watching and studying him as well. He had discovered that his assumptions about the possibility of a cat tail were correct. The hybrid had a fully formed cat tail that moved like any other appendage though sometimes it seemed to have a will of its own. The hybrid may have been silent most days, but just because he didn't talk didn't mean Hoseok couldn't talk to him. At first, he simply greeted him each day, telling him what he brought to eat with a full detailed ingredient list, and then said goodbye parting ways quickly to try and appear neutral. After another week he couldn't help but attempt to learn more about the hybrid. He was drawn to him for some reason. One morning while handing him the food directly to the hybrid, he was thrilled to have gotten so close to him even if just for a moment. The hybrid's skin looks healthier and his eyes aren't as sunken in as when they first met. He's still plenty dirty, but at least he's eating. Hoseok would love to get him a bath and a proper bed to sleep in, but he doubts the hybrid would trust him enough to come home with him. The hybrid ignores his question, but Hoseok can see the tip of his tail flicking back and forth behind him obviously thinking. He's started to learn how to read the hybrid's actions, his cat features sometimes giving away what's going on in his head. I sort of want to stop referring to you as 'Hybrid' I don't think it's right to call you that. That's like if you called me 'Human' all the time. It's a classification sure, but not who I am." He had woken up early this morning just so he could have this little chat. He against the cold bricks of the opposite wall and looks at the hybrid, who sits in his nest of rags. Every time Hoseok sees him he just can't get over how small he looks. The hybrid shrugs not wanting to answer questions. He instead looks down the alleyway, aloof. He's been doing that more and it makes Hoseok smile a little, to know that the hybrid doesn't seem to think of him as a threat any longer. Willing to take his judging eyes off him, if only for a minute at a time. "I thought you would say that." Hoseok says and the hybrid glances back, giving him a funny look. "So, I came up with a few names for you." Which leads him to laugh when the hybrid stares at him dumbfounded. His green-yellow eyes wide and his mouth just slightly open. "No." The teen says. His face quickly changed to annoyed, a cute scowl gracing his lips as his eyes turn into irritated slits ''I'm thinking -." Hoseok pretends to consider name options, rubbing his hand under his chin. "Shadow." He says grinning cheerfully. He had thought of names just to tease the hybrid a little. The hybrid gives him a bored look unamused by his first name choice. He schools his features into a more neutral look when he realizes he's made a face. Hoseok has noticed that the hybrid wants to appear to have no emotions, hiding them immediately anytime he slips up. "No?'-alright." Hoseok shuffles his feet and purses his lips. "How about Onyx then?" He once again gets a bored look, but he can tell the hybrid isn't upset with him. If he were he would voice it. He doesn't appear afraid to disagree and fight for himself if he needs to. Hoseok waits for a response, putting on his best smiling face. "You insist on a name because you want to connect with me." The hybrid states it as a fact, not a question. "You think that if you appeal to my humanity that you can convince me to accept help." His statement further convinces Hoseok that the hybrid is smarter than your average 'pet' hybrid. "Not really." Hoseok says casually. Causing the hybrid once again to watch him closely, his ears now perked up with interest "I know I won't convince you to seek help, I was aware of that the first day I saw you sleeping here in this alley. If you hadn't already gone to a shelter then you obviously didn't want anything to do with humans and no amount of food or clothing. I give you is going to convince you to change that opinion. As I said, I just want to sleep at night and this is enough for me to help you, but not so much as to impose and force you to leave ending up in me worrying." Hoseok shrugs and picks up his backpack needing to go. He should just make it in time to his first class if he leaves now. "No, you are trying to connect with me." Hoseok turns to the hybrid, who has stood up and gotten closer, his tail swishing behind him, cat ears flattened back.
