Comments

[girlverine]

Hm.

[Laura turned as Velvet entered, and immediately heard that increase in heart rate just before a...sneeze. Though the dark haired girl seemed to hold it off for now.]

You are allergic.

[Well crap.]

[searingedgelord]

I'm fine.

[It's not a denial, but she doesn't want to make a big deal of it. She'd been through a lot of crap in her life, she wasn't going to let a stupid allergy slow her down.]

[girlverine]

Hm.

[She didn't believe her at all, really.]

I will make sure her fur does not get left anywhere.

[Meanwhile, the little kitten was prowling her way towards Velvet, oblivious to the danger of daemon sneezes!]

[searingedgelord]

[She's about to answer, but she's cut off abruptly by a sneeze she can't hold back as the kitten gets closer.

She sniffles and side steps the kitten, eyeing it warily.]

Yeah, okay. Good.

[girlverine]

[You know what they say about cats and people who are allergic. Backing up just makes her all the more curious, and the kitten turns and continues to prowl towards Velvet's feet.]

...She likes you.

[It's a guess. But the kitten seemed to like everyone so far.]

[searingedgelord]

[She keeps edging away. Or trying to. The Lord of Calamity is being chased by a tiny kitten.]

She probably shouldn't.

[Because Velvet is a daemon. And also because why like someone who is obviously trying to avoid you. But that's not cat logic, and she knows it. Cat logic doesn't work that way.]

[girlverine]

I don't think she knows shouldn't yet.

[Laura started after them both, but not before the kitten suddenly put on a little burst of speed and closed the space between her and Velvet, hopping onto her metal shoe with a little meow of triumph.]

She likes shoes, though.

[Laura just sighs.]

[searingedgelord]

[Why are cats like this.]

Uh. Can you get her?

[She kind of pushes her kitten-clad foot out toward Laura. The movement is a little awkward, because she is trying not to be rough, while also wanting to retreat in the opposite direction, because she can feel another sneeze coming on.]

[girlverine]

[Laura nodded, stepping closer and reaching out to pluck the kitten off the boot, ignoring the soft, unhappy mew the tiny creature made.]

I was told they know when people are allergic to them.

[searingedgelord]

[She backs up a couple of steps, putting space between herself and the kitten.]

Yeah? I guess they aren't inclined to be considerate about it.

[Then again, cats probably just don't think that way.]

[girlverine]

They are animals.

[Which wasn't to say Laura didn't think animals could be considerate. But that wasn't something most people thought, and it functioned as a decent 'explanation.' She set the kitten down on a tall set of boxes, tall enough the little creature seemed wary to jump off, and instead just started prowling around the edges.]

I have been trying to teach her but cats do not train easily.

[Or at all.]
