Christopher carried Asterix all the way from his Cliff House apartment over to the Villa, taking the monorail and the lift up to the house. He walked along the corridor to the lounge, whistling a happy tune and stroking a very nervous and nosy young cat.

"This is nice." He tickled Asterix's chin; the cat purred.

A set of footsteps behind him caught his attention. He turned around to say hello and was face to face with Brandon.

Christopher's happy face was replaced with a little more seriousness. He looked at Brandon, "Brandon? Nice to see you; have you settled in yet?"

"I haven't completely settled in yet. I'm taking time to get used to the layout of the place."

"This is Asterix." Christopher's expression relaxed. "He's nervous so I'm taking him for a walk round."

"How old is he?" Brandon asked, admiring the cat's markings. He started to put his hand out to scratch Asterix's ears. The cat let out a low growl, swiping at the intruding appendage.

"He's a year old." Christopher tickled the cat's ears to calm him down. "Sorry about that. He does that to people he doesn't know."

"Does it take him long to get used to people?"

Christopher turned around and looked at Brandon, any pretense of humour disappearing from his eyes and face. "It depends," he said. "He is very picky with who he likes."

"I'll keep that in mind. Anything else I should know about Asterix?"

"No, nothing really," Christopher said, "He will find out about you, but I suggest locking your door. He likes to explore."

"Thanks for the advice," Brandon said as Christopher turned, going into the lounge.

After taking a walk around, learning where things were located, Brandon went back to his apartment to finish unpacking. He did so slowly, his thoughts going back to his encounter with Christopher. What's he got in mind? He seemed nice enough, but I'm not so sure. Better stay on your toes, McCain.
