[ maybe while out shopping you ran into someone— literally ran into them, knocking one or the both of you over. a good look at them shows it's a girl, obviously homeless if her general hygiene and the layered and filthy clothes she's wearing are any indication.



or maybe you just found a ten foot long serpentine monstrosity rummaging around in your knocked-over garbage cans. (a girl's gotta eat, all right.)



or maybe something else entirely is going on. go nuts, AUS AND RANDOM BULLSHIT WELCOME

note: magic sensors can tell she's got an affinity/alignment with metal, and also feels basically like something/someone hideously deformed in a horrifying way. ]

...I'll live.

[ blearily considering that that is not the most reassuring thing she could say, and sticking her chin back on the tub's rim near his hands ]

I mean, it sucks, but what the fuck else is new, that's not your fault.

[crouches down so he can preen her face with quick, delicate pinches of his fingers, careful to avoid any scaly areas. he knows taking shed off too early can be damaging]

Is not my fault, but still we want Eve to feel safe.

[it's rare that he actually uses the majestic plural in plain spoken words instead of his usual dropping his pronoun into bird noises, it's catbird manners not to state your rank that bluntly, let listeners pretend it's not there since they didn't hear it. BUT Y'KNOW WHAT. IF KIT WANTS EVE SAFE, THEN THAT'S THE WILL OF THE FLOCK.]

[ Kit, that's cute. it's unfortunate Eve is a little too out of it (and also too much of an idiot) to catch that nuance

on the other hand, with how uncomfortable she gets with even the idea of too much attention focused on her, perhaps that's for the best. she huffs a sigh out through her nose only to trail off into a faint croon, eyes shutting. ]

...that's not usually a problem. Here.

[keeps preening her]

Will help, if ever a problem.
