As much as Seth dislikes the need to be handled, he doesn't mind being petted or touched - not by Daniel anyway. It's a nice platonic gesture of affection, and Iman's right, he can get away with it without it being too weird. But if it were a stranger it would definitely be weird. Which is another reason he doesn't want to go outside. People are just so eager to pet cats, and he doesn't want to spend every moment dodging hands.

He gives a grudging huff in reply, then stands and stretches. He better not still be a cat after multiple days. Even just for a day of this, there's a lot of adjusting to be done, and communication is only one of the challenges.

And speaking of communication, he wants to know more about this person who's coming over, but at least he trusts Daniel not to let anyone dangerous in. Have coffee with them, maybe, but not let them into Seth's safe space. He jumps off the bed then up onto the windowsill, looking out, then giving Daniel a questioning look.
