[He's so glad to see Steve. The first time he saw Steve back, what happened started out as a hand on Steve's shoulder and sort of just devolved into a hug. Atem has so much going on, but when it's Steve knocking on his door, all projects get shelved, and Atem's more than happy to come along to Poundmates. It's been a while since he visited, anyway, what with the aforementioned projects, and also he's got friends to help calm him down, so he doesn't need to sit with the cats quite so much. He wants to see how the inmates are doing.
But when Steve opens the fridge and starts cutting up raw meat, Atem repeats:]
"Tybolt"?
[That's not the usual cat or dog food...there's a lot of raw meat in that fridge. This must be for something that doesn't eat kibble...but what?]
Who's Tybolt?
[Atem's imagining, like....a chimera. Something somebody requested from Mana, looking for a guard animal, and then they disappeared, so now Steve's looking after a huge tooth-and-claw unkillable monstrosity that's part bear, part tiger, part...what, shark?]
