[When Cheshire gets close enough to ruffle his hair, Asato merely responds by smiling and gently pulling the other into a hug.]
I'm sure.
[He doesn't care what Cheshire's past is. It would be wrong of him to judge, wrong of him immediately decide one way or another how this cat should be treated other than with the utmost respect. It's not just something he's been taught despite the way he's been treated all his life (which, still, he is grateful for being allowed to live at all), but something he's learned and wanted to give towards others, especially those who have had less than easy lives, themselves. Konoe made him want to reach out to others. Cheshire makes him want to reach out even more and protect them all he can.
He pulls back, suddenly, however, as if realizing he may be being overly affection. Tail stiff and ears alert, Asato blinks before shaking his head quickly.]
N-name you? Ahhh, I'm not very good with names, what if I pick something stupid?

[It's a serious concern of his.]
