Oh, look. Cats. At first he just figured some nice old lady in the area was feeding them, so they were hanging around. Not that he minded, Thomas generally liked animals, and so he reached down to pet one...then froze. This wasn't just a nice old lady number of cats. This was a swarm.

Standing back up, he began to look around at the cats warily, wondering what the hell was going on.

Then the light went out.

Not that his eyes weren't able to quickly adjust, being a vampire and naturally attuned to living in the dark, but it was still unnerving. All of this was unnerving.

"O...kaay," he said, before deciding to walk through the cats.

Slowly, carefully, and almost scooting his feet to avoid stepping on any of them, Thomas tried to make his way through the feline crowd.
