military. .

you were walking around the base with your hands behind your back, thinking about different things and about the mission that had recently been successful, but suddenly you noticed your colleague who was sitting on one knee with his back to you and doing something

trying to see and understand what he was doing, you took a few steps closer to him, trying to be quiet and walking a little to the side, you noticed that he was stroking a small black kitten, which joyfully accepted the affection of this soldier, you were surprised until you noticed that the kitten looked at you with its big green eyes and let out a small meow more like a squeak

this made the soldier turn his head in your direction

"oh... you're here too"

he says in a calm tone
