Maybe all you need is someone to trust
The sudden warmth of the other cat snaps him out of whatever funk he's in. A pause and Locke leans against him for a moment, stealing comfort from such an unlikely source. Don't think any of us are to blame really. Just a shitty situation. He's not mad at Maeve, or Sunjata, just himself. But even then, Sunjata's conviction makes him pause in even that. He didn't mean to fall in love with Maeve, just like she didn't mean to fall in love with Sunjata.
I think you and I are a lot alike, in a lot of ways. Humor crackles along the bond. It's one of the reasons he likes Sunjata so much. One of the reasons he likes Nate. He doesn't have to pretend to be someone he isn't. Grime and all. Grey eyes meet gold again and Locke's ears fold back. She told me about that, going to you after Nate left. Sunjata looks away, dejected maybe? Either way, now Locke feels bad. He leans forward, licking Sunjata's shoulder. I don't blame you. I probably would've done the same thing.
He continues to groom Sunjata, if he lets him. It's partially self soothing and partially kitty cat instinct taking over. Be gentle with Mae, if you bring it up to her. She's had a rough year.
