This time his grin looked really miserable. He had settled down on the tub edge with the hot wet bundle of fur and towel in his arms to try get some rest and calmness at least in his own body, but it didn't work.
He felt tense, on the edge, and couldn't even tell why. Jesus, he had been through slightly worse stuff than dealing with an unwilling animal.
And still it made him feel like shit to have that small helpless creature shake in his hands like was the incarnation of the devil. Even through the towel he could feel its heart beat much too fast, and that small whine the kitten let out when it spotted Natasha finally did it. In this vulnerable, upset condition they couldn't let her outside. She'd be probably running in a car, and he certainly wasn't the one to calm her down.
"Think you can do that, red? She's seen enough of me for today, I'm afraid. I'll get the table ready in the meantime."
