Don't believe in no-win scenarios

Oh, hello. Kirk is no stranger to suddenly having a cat in his lap, although this is not the usual furry friend who ends up there. "Well, hello there," he murmurs, shifting the mug into one hand so he can use the other to rub at the kneazle's ears. Chances seem pretty high that this is one of their own's siblings, though he's not familiar enough with the rest of the litter to know which one by sight.

"You're part of the welcoming party, I take it," he says to the cat, sounding amused.
