> Nepeta: Place kitten on meowrail's head
[The SFC shows two bare grey feet padding along the ground, climbing up stairs carefully and quietly before a door is pushed open with a muffled giggle followed by a surprised, kittenish squeak.]
Shhh. The fursome hunters must appurroach their purrey quietly and undetected!
[This whispered declaration is answered by a tiny mew as their quarry comes into view, deeply asleep and unsuspecting. His long dark hair is spread out smooth and sleek on the pillow, and as the fierce predator leans over him in his sleep her tiny furry partner is placed carefully on his head, squarely between his horns.
She then scampers back to hide behind the door, still filming as the little white kitten shakes itself and starts climbing down the blueblood's face.
This is going to be interesting.]
((ooc: responses may come from either or both Nepeta and Equius!))

action;
[But all right, fine. He eyes the kitten on his chest.]
Hello. I'm Equius.
action;
Then she takes a couple of steps forward, and licks him once on the chin.]
See, I told you! She's saying it's nice to meet you.
action;
Nice to meet you too, Pounce. Would you mind please getting off my chest so I can sit up?
action;
She's only a kitten, she doesn't understand everything.
action;
Can you ask her to move, then?
action;
[There are now two pairs of kitty eyes staring at him.]
action;
I like her just fine, Nepeta, which is why I don't want to accidentally crush her so will you please get her to move?!
[Sorry, he's a little touchy about the whole STRONG thing at the moment.]
action;
It also has the effect of getting her to relent. A bit.]
What if I sit on you with her sitting on me?
action;
action;
What's wrong, Equius?
action;
You remember the curse? And how I wasn't STRONG during that time?
action;
[She knows him well enough to start to get an inkling of what this is about, especially when he doesn't move to try and hug her like usual. Still, she lets him explain things in his own time, just cosying up to him a bit more, reminding him she trusts him, always has and always will.]
action;
[It pains him more than he'll acknowledge to admit that, and he catches her eye for a moment before staring back at his lap again.]
And now I can't touch anything again, not you or Gamzee or the kitten or anything, and it could be sweeps before I can control myself like Darkleer can and I don't want to wait.
action;
[Hearing him say it like that breaks her heart, and she's kneeling up to frame his face between her hands before she even thinks about it. She presses her forehead to his, for once ignoring the tiny squeaking noises the kitten is making inside of her tshirt.]
Maybe...maybe there's a way to make it happen sooner? Magic, purrhaps, like Lily used to use...
[Maybe holding out that kind of hope isn't the right thing to do, but she's long ago exhausted all the comforting words and thoughts she could come up with about his strength. Giving him something to look forward to, something perhaps not so far away, might be better than telling him he needs to be patient.
All she wants is to see her moirail happy.]
action; he's being such a teenager right now, sorry
[He knows she's just trying to make him feel better, but he's gotten himself stuck in a negative feedback loop. Magic, another curse, waiting... they're all difficult, and don't solve the real problem, that he's a big sweaty freak who breaks everything he touches.]
action; haha, it's okay, it is what moirails are for
[She's papping him rather frantically. It's so much easier to calm him down from a rage than soothe him over being upset.]
action;
[He submits to papping, letting her swat him around as she pleases, but it's not helping much. He's still miserable and upset over his failings.]
action;
[But she loves him :((]
action;
I didn't... I didn't hate it so much when... when you lived far away and I didn't have anybody else.
[Because seriously, who wants to hug Vriska?]
action;
action;
[Pause.]
Forgive the lewd language, please.
action;
action;
action;
I pity you so much... [And it hurts that she has no idea how to help.]
action; a new icon just for this tag!
[He moves his head a little, so he's closer to her. Almost nuzzling, but not quite.]
I pity you too. Deeply. Serendipitously.
action; omg babbies
