Horvath will always protest he doesn't need feeding, embarrassed and self-conscious as ever, but he's also not likely to turn down what she brings. Getting him out more for walks should offset the effects, and there's a definite hunger there for escaping the city and exploring wilder lands, whether he acknowledges that impulse in himself or not.

He sips his tea, thoughtful, while Smoke sends the paper ball skidding away with a swat of her paw, only to chase it down again.

A smirk plays at the corners of his mouth, because there's a story, there, but one he's not sure it's his place to tell. "If it's warm enough, I could manage overnight... I'm afraid I don't take sleeping on the ground as well as I used to, though. Even if I do bring my own padding."
