[the camera clambers on as the SFC gets knocked off a shelf by a massive, candy colored bull's horn as Tavros shakes his head. He's currently dressed like Pupa Pan, complete with a pair of fake wings strapped to his back]

But, uh… Tiger Beetle, is the one that is supposed to be rescued.

[Nepeta lets out a small growl of frustration, making the feathers in her hair shake. She is quite obviously dressed as Tiger Beetle, and its just as obvious they've been having this argument for a while now, interrupting their happy fun pretend times.]

No no no, that doesn't make sense! Tiger Beetle is furocious, just like her name! When those nasty purrates tried to capture her she went grrr and bit all their heads right off!

But… Pupa Pan is the hero! He, uh… always flies in, on his great big wings and, uh… saves the day with his, strength and c-confidence!

But purrhaps this time he didn't need to! Beclaws Tiger Beetle already did it fur him! So instead of fighting the mean purrates they can fly somewhere else together and have fun and more adventures!

[Tavros had better watch out, at the word fun her hands came up in front of her with her fingers curled towards her palms and she half-crouched in her typical pouncing stance. And on adventure she does indeed tackle him, laughing.]

[Tav topples backwards off his metal legs and lands with an audible OOF off his back, flailing a moment before he starts laughing too]

That sounds... like a good idea!

Then Tiger Beetle and Pupa Pan fly off to...where are we going next??

[She's half flopped onto him as she asks, still giggling as she fixes the angle of his hat which got knocked askew during her pounce - and then notices the light on the SFC blinking and pokes at it with one of her feet until it switches off.]

Are you sure you didn't suffer brain damage those times you fell down the stairs? Legs aren't going to solve anything but your ability to walk and do other leg stuff.

Yes, exactly!

-=it's the same thing, clearly=-

Brain damage it is, then. Great to know.

[Not what Tavros meant, but oh well.]

I don't... I don't have brain damage! I am perfectly, uh... fine.

You don't even sound sure of yourself there.

I am. I am, uh... quite sure, of my mental facilities. My legs... were the only things that did not work, and they are fixed now.

She could?! How??? That's amazing! Can I learn too? Ohhh, I want to be able to be a kitty too! And I'll ask him, I'll ask him fur sure!

No no no that's not right at all! Efuryone should be furrends and that's that, yup yup. The hemospectrum is just a silly pile of nonsense, I keep telling Equius that but... [she falters, having mentioned her ex-moirail without really thinking about it.]

But nuh uh, people aren't better than each other, people are just people.

So you're really really okay? Karkitty said...

[Nepeta is quite little indeed, and feels even smaller at how easily Signless, who's nowhere near the biggest of the adult trolls, manages to hold both her and Tavros so easily. But she feels safe with both him and her brown-blooded friend holding her.

She sniffles softly when Signless brushes her hair away from her face, and presses back slightly as Tavros presses his forehead to hers. It doesn't seem to matter to her at all that he's not a little fairy-bull - he's her friend and that's just as comforting or even more so, earning him a small watery smile.]

I don't want anyone else to be hurt or dead!

I'm really okay, little one. Really really.

[Signless rocks the two of them gently back and forth, just letting his presence and his warm body be comfort in and of themselves.]

As long as I'm here, little kitten and little bull, I'll do everything I can to make sure no one gets hurt or dies. You have my word on that.

The's highly skilled at a branch of magic called Transfiguration. Turning one thing into another. Like turning a toad into a teacup.

[She changes the angle of her SFC so the camera points to a toad sitting in a terrarium. Lily points her wand at it and waves it about and the toad transforms into an ornate china teacup. Then she turns it back and turns the camera back to her face.]

I could turn you into a cat, if you liked, but you wouldn't really still be yourself, you would just be a cat. My Professor studied long and hard to become an Animagus. She can transform whenever she wants and retains her human mind while transformed.

I think he's come around more since he's been here. I'm very fond of him, actually.

[Lily's pretty perceptive, but she doesn't pick up on that. No one ever tells her about what's going on in their quadrants.]

But I agree. And I'm glad you think so.

I'm, uh... I'm going to, help.

-=he tries very hard to sound brave, but his voice is a bit shaky himself=-

I'll, get to be brave and strong, and be a real hero. N-not just... pretend.

Then tell me, if you're so sure legs are the key to your confidence. How confident were you back when your original legs still worked?

[Nepeta has more or less curled herself into a kittentrollball around Tavros and burrowed against Signless by this point.

But she uncurls herself enough to reach one hand out and pat Tavros' head.]

You're already brave and strong! We'll keep everyone safe together. All three of us. We have to.

[Signless keeps his arms around both of them, although one hand is gently smoothing Nepeta's messy waves of hair and the other one is gripping Tavros' shoulder in a firm but friendly and reassuring way.]

You see? With good helpers like the two of you, I can't possibly go wrong.

This.

Is so... adorabull.

[Nepeta stares at the screen, and then at Tavros, and then back at the screen. And then squeals.]

Oh my paws! You're Tavros' ancestor!! You look so furry much like each other!!

Hiii!

[He lets out a hardy laugh, leaning back, a hand going to support him on his knee. Summoner's smile is face splitting, but how can't it be?]

Now you, are precious. Heh heh, I'd say we look very alike. [Puts a hand to his chin, titling his head back and forth.]

Hmm, yeha, kid's quite-a-looker.

But yes, hello to you as well! And you are?

[He looks so friendly that Nepeta immediately takes to him, leaning in closer and giggling.]

Ohh, you don't talk furry much like him though. But you still seem furry much the same!

I'm Nepeta! It's a purreasure to meet you!

You'll never know! But just because I'm the kid's ancestor doesn't mean we're the exact same. He's got a lot of filling in to do. [Oh yes, gesturing to the horns a little.]

Nepeta? I like it. [Smiles, leaning in as she does.] Call me Lysunder.

-=have an embarassed little flail=-

Oh, uh... hey. Lysunder.

[Grins wide, sitting up straight.]

What kind of greeting is that!

Uh huh, me and him are still purrty little next to you and the other ancestors! Are his horns really going to get that big?!

Heehee, I'm glad you do! Hi Lysunder! Oh, I like your name! It sounds like something out of Pupa Pan or another adventure story like that!

-=it's hard for him to feel brave and strong when all his attempts so far have been met with miserable failure, but he doesn't say anything else for the time being, acquiescing to their claims even if he doesn't quite believe in them himself yet=-

Uh...

-=lip chew=-

A surprised one?

Why surprised? You know I'm flying around here, don't you?
