IC: Shortly after the Mistletoad debacle

[thekingsgambit]

[The silence between the cornfield and Boys 4 has just been interrupted by a loud, pathetic puppy cry. Those interested in going after the poor creature might discover the tiny black kitten that is presently clenching said puppy's paw in its mouth and puffed up to twice its normal size.]

-- I told you to put me down!




((This is actually open to whoever wishes to jump it and save the poor puppy. ;;))

[Oh no you don't, I have concerns! Thus, attempting to crawl in that direction. Attempting.]

[ascendthethorns]

[... crawling is actually rather concerning... catches it and makes a hasteful return.]

Were you injured?

[willcute4cash.livejournal.com]

It still doesn't feel right to just leave her alone outside.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Turns to.]

Don't apologize. It is no longer a necessary skill for you.

[Still, seems more distant than usual, as if unfocused.]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Ah? Perhaps someone else can take care of her in the meanwhile.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Sits up as quickly as he can, which is not very.]

What?

[willcute4cash.livejournal.com]

Do you know who can?

[ascendthethorns]

Your movements are more laboured than I'd expected.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Tch. A useless age.

[ascendthethorns]

Where were you headed, then?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I have a few options.

[willcute4cash.livejournal.com]

Okay! Who? I can take her to them now if you want.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I wanted another word with you. It will cause problems to have the usual horde within the cabin at this time. We should find them alternative quarters. I will assure Nunnally it is only temporary.

[whenknightfalls.livejournal.com]

No, it's always necessary.

...you never answered the question, either.

[ascendthethorns]

They can be kept upstairs; one of the rooms is still free.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Fur raises slightly, as do ears.]

Ah?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

If we can manage to keep them in there.

[ascendthethorns]

The doors lock. It should be no issue.

[whenknightfalls.livejournal.com]

You can't just ask me what I mean and then not say anything yourself.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[I don't entirely trust Luca with locks.]

We will keep Luca away from the rest then. She should be manageable.

[ascendthethorns]

Very well.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Looks to the side and lowers voice practically to monotone.]

... I don't know. Being here... complicates too much. You complicate too much. There are many things I am no longer sure of.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Nods and tries to keep focused as a butterfly flits by.]

[ascendthethorns]

[...]

Your managability, however, remains in question.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Fur rises. Butterfly lives to fly again another day.]

I have it under control.
