He'd been expecting the refusal, so it's met with a little snickering laugh as he settles back into himself, concentrating instead on picking a path for them across the beach rather than on thinking up more ways to push Edwin's buttons (they call that personal growth)... but what he isn't expecting is for Edwin to lean in and add that little bit extra, and it's a good thing the Cat has neither ears nor a tail that can give his reaction away completely, even though his body perks up in interest as much as it can without the extra help of additional limbs, his eyes practically glowing with curiosity as he looks back at his companion. Coming to terms be damned; this is much more fun.
"Oh we do, do we?" He presses, drumming his fingers across the back of Edwin's hand, as if doing so will lure the tail of his suggestion close enough that the Cat can smack a paw on it and drag it out of the mouse hole.
But... slowly, slowly, right? He doesn't want a repeat of being too much too fast coming back to bite him in the ass. "I'm excited to see what you've got in mind..."
