[ Mondo's just putting his hand over his mouth to hold back his laughter watching the interactions that are happening before him. Lia seems so pleased that she won over Kido's attention, letting her touch her toe beans without any complaints. She's never had to work hard for attention because Mondo (and sometimes Terry) is always showering her with it and having it suddenly taken away from her seems to bother her a lot. So Kido giving her the attention she wanted puts her on the top of Lia's favourite people ranking, knocking Mondo and Terry off easily. It's mutual!!

When the kittens try to get more attention from Kido by chewing on her shoelaces and her shoes in general, Lia has something in mind already. She lies down with her back on the ground, showing off her belly. She's showing them who's the senpai, who's the boss. ]

Sounds like it. I also feel like she wanna assert dominance... She's actin' like the top dude from this other gang I used to fight with. They kept tryinna show off they got more. [ He shakes his head, sighing. ] 's cute when Lia's the one doin' it, tho'.
