Natalie is terrified of you now btw

He's quiet for a good while, just staring at the anon from his place on the floor. It seems that he was in the middle of cutting his own hair when they appeared, chunks of tar black hair littering the towels laid on the floor for this express purpose. He lowers the scissors in his hands so he wouldn't ruin the progress he had meticulously worked on for the past half hour.

"... I can't blame her," Is what he manages to mutter first. She's traumatized and he has lashed out at her quite a few times. It doesn't surprise him that she would be genuinely terrified after what she's seen of him at a low point in his stability. "Thank you for confirming this for me."

And with that, he simply goes back to carefully cutting his hair. He is genuinely ashamed that he let it get as long as it is, no one could even tell that there used to be red in it anymore... He should feel bad about caring more for his appearance than the well-being of someone he briefly considered a friend, but he just... Can't bring himself to care.

Open Starter: the blood on her hands

(Tw/cw, hallucination, blood, mentions of violence. Basically, the usual stuff for this blog)

Why did her brain seem so fascinated with blood? Why did so many of her hallucinations have to do with blood? Depending on how severe, sometimes she could smell it and feel it. Sometimes, all she could do was see it. It was worse than the feeling of invisible bugs all over her skin. Or even the voices that berated her and told her all of this was her fault. They weren't wrong. There were a thousand things she could have done differently. She made so many mistakes in her life, and none of them only hurt her. She could live with that if that was the case. But so many people she loved had gotten hurt because of her.

She didn't know when the blood appeared on her hands today. She thought she remembered staring off into space as she contemplated how she would carve whatever she was doing before her eyes went back into focus, and there was that deep crimson color all over her wood. Her hands were drenched with it, and parts of the front of her jacket were, too. The cube in her bag beeped incessantly, and she took it with her to the kitchen where she could scrub her hands clean. The smell flooded her nostrils, reminding her of several unpleasant memories. Even breathing through her mouth didn't stop the smell.

She knew it wasn't real. The cube kept on beeping at her, so it had to be so. The annoying beeps in the background didn't help to make it any less vivid, however. She turned the water on hot until it was steaming, and her hands felt like they would burn, scrubbing them raw with the dish soap. All those people. That poor boy with his leg torn off. Edan, when she'd hurt him in the middle of another one of those episodes. Every time she'd been shot or stabbed or anything else. None of it would leave her mind.

"Come on, please! Please, just go away! Leave me alone!" she choked out.

You're gonna hurt yourself if you keep that up. *Maple peeks over her shoulder, the smell of blood even stronger with him behind her. He puts a blood soaked hand on her shoulder, blood dripping down her shirt from the point of contact. When did Maple get here? How did he find this place? Was he staying here too? Since when? There's a trail of bloody footprints leading up to where he's standing.*

[totally-sane-refugee]

She flinched at the touch, her muscles tensing. Her cube beeped again, and she wasn't sure if it was reminding her the blood was fake or telling her Maple wasn't there. All she knew was that he was a murderer. She guessed violence ran in the family. "Get away from me! I— I know what you did!"

[mapleleaf-anon]

*Maple smirked, a devilish little thing, at the reminder, and leaned in closer to her face.* And what would that be? I've done many things, you'll need to be more specific. *There's a glint in his eyes, a joy at her reaction that could only come from someone who finds entertainment in ruining the lives of others.*

[totally-sane-refugee]

She gasped and shoved what she thought was Maple away from her. The continuous beeping of the little cube was beginning to get on her nerves. "You murdered all those people! You psycho! What do you want with me, huh? Am I next?"

[mapleleaf-anon]

Oooo! That's a new one! Psycho! And no, you're not next. It wouldn't be as fun to let you die just yet! We need to make your life as miserable as possible first! *Who is this "we"? Is he planning something? What's going to happen? Why is he still smiling?*

[totally-sane-refugee]

She looked down at her bag on the floor. The beeping from the cube felt like it was making fun of her. Taunting her. "Just shut up already!" she shouted at it. "I know the blood isn't real! You don't need to keep reminding me!" She turned to Maple. "So you're just like those anons. What have I ever done to you? I've always tried to be kind! I've always apologized for my mistakes! Don't you know I'm already miserable?"

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He looks around, seemingly bored of this conversation. He shifts his weight on his feet and gives her a quick kick to the shin* There's always more we can do to make you miserable! It's only when you stop reacting that we lose interest and will kill you!

[totally-sane-refugee]

She held her leg and yelped in faux pain, despite not really feeling anything. Was he fake, too? She didn't wanna chance it, so she would just pretend. "There are other people to bother, you know. Doesn't your sister miss you? Go say hello to her."

[mapleleaf-anon]

Yeah, but it's fun to bother you specifically, especially since you're so pathetic! Besides, Stabby can handle herself

*and, what would you know, Stabby walks into the kitchen, rubbing at her eyes and trying to piece together why it's so loud*

Well, speak of the devil

Natalie? Why are you yelling? I was trying to sleep...

At two in the afternoon??

There's a trail of bloody footprints leading up to where he's standing.*

[drifting-through-duviri]

*Maple had woken up at some point, though he wouldn't be able to say exactly when. The first thing he did was find where Drifter was and just... Watched them sleep, making sure that they're still breathing and still there. He doesn't know how long he was standing there, but he eventually grew hungry and decided to wander off to find something*

-🍁

Well whatever Maple just watched wasn't a bed, the Drifter was inside a big but rather empty room, they were inside a pod like structure that was connected to white glowing roots

When he walks around he'll eventually just see this thing interacting with some of the machinery

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He stares at the thing for a bit and decides not to question it. He's too hungry for this. And sore. Sleeping on the floor isn't the best idea sometimes... No matter how comfy it is*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

It notices Maple and waves at him presumably to greet and then suddenly the Drifter just manifested in front of it, the thing going completely stiff

Hey there Maple! You need something?

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He frog blinks, trying to understand what happened. He fails and just gives up* I'm too hungry for this. Do you have any food that I can take?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Uhh... I have food that's consumable for Scarlet? Maybe go ask Kahl, he probably has rations

They rub the back of their head awkwardly

My body doesn't really need food, it's just something I eat for fun, so I don't have anything stores up

[mapleleaf-anon]

*Maple grumbles and makes a weird, crackley, squawk-like sound. He doesn't want to interact with someone he doesn't know right now. Yes, he knows WHO Kahl is, but he doesn't know Kahl nor does he care to.*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

I can quickly get some pizza, it'd just take me a couple of minutes

Drifter is fully unaware that pizza is not a breakfast food, mainly due to the Hex only getting pizza for rations

[mapleleaf-anon]

Okay, I can wait. *He plops down on the floor, leaning against a wall. He doesn't really have an opinion on pizza. It's food, but it's not really the kind of food he grew up with. It's not bad though.*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

So the Drifter quickly leaves, leaving Maple alone... Not for long tho as Scarlet is seen observing him, curious about this new guy that had a similar energy to the Demon

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He gasps and pats the floor in front of him* Hi, pretty... Whatcha doing? *His voice is a bit higher pitched and quieter as he calls to the kitty, he doesn't wanna scare her after all.* How are you?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She doesn't approach yet, still cautious, but she does let out a meow, it sounded confused as if it was a question, in her mind it was, she asked who he was

[mapleleaf-anon]

Hi... Drifter is letting me stay for... I don't know how long, actually. Um... I'm Maple, who are you, pretty girl..?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Scarlet has seen him yesterday and heard her name being mentioned in front of him, she doesn't seem to wear a collar and just tilts her head at him, he should know who she is, this Maple guy. He did call her pretty, so her tail is betraying that bit of happiness

[mapleleaf-anon]

Awwwe... Pretty, pretty, preeeetty! *He giggles and taps the floor again. He then decides to scooch closer, slowly as to not startle her.* Can I pet you, pretty girl? You look soft...

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Hmmm... Bare fangs or not? Nah, he seems alright, besides, killing him would be very easy if he tried something, so she wandered over to him

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He gasps quietly and holds out a hand for her to sniff, not realizing that it probably still smelled like blood since he hasn't properly washed that off yet... He was just trying to be friendly! It'll probably be fineeee*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She sniffed at him, he reeks of blood and death, was he on mission before and just forgot cleaning himself? Either way it's a similar smell to Drifter, so she gets comfortable and lays down beneath Maple's had

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He makes a quiet, squeaky screech, so happy that she's being friendly back. He starts gently petting her and scritching behind her ears* Pretty, pretty girl! Yeah, the prettiest girl! *He giggles happily*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Yeah he's good. He'll be allowed to live, she just begins purring, he smells like war and knows how to treat a Kavat, both good traits

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He resists the urge to squeal, scared that it might make the kitty leave, and keeps petting her. Light scritches to her neck and ears with gentle pets to her side, testing her reactions and seeing if she'd let him*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She enjoys the attention, tho when he tries to go the side she just paws him away, he ain’t the Demon

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He understands and doesn't try again, happy to continue to pet the kitty for as long as she'll let him.* Pretty, pretty... Yeah, so pretty, so good... Such a good, pretty girl!

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Yes... Yes! Praise her more! Fuel her pride, Scarlet seems to be enjoying the praise very much, he doesn't even know how well she does on mission, he needs to know!

[mapleleaf-anon]

Yeah! You're so adorable! Such a pretty girl! There's never been a prettier girl! *He cackles happily, giving more ear scritches*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She's purring even louder, taking up all the attention possible, girlie loves being pampered like this, still not as great as the Demon tho, they take her on missions

[mapleleaf-anon]

Awwwwwwe.... Drifter is so lucky to have such a pretty girl! Speaking of Drifter, I'm hungry... *He pouts then goes right back to giving the kitty some love* Pretty pretty preeeetty girl!

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

And speaking of the Demon they return! The Drifter comes down the ramp with a steaming hot Pizza in a pizza box

And I'm back with some pizza straight from 1999!

Scarlet just remains with Maple, purring loudly

And I see you befriended Scarlet

[mapleleaf-anon]

Well, speak of the devil. Hi! *He waves at Drifter and continues petting Scarlet, he'll have to remember that name*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Ouch. Careful with that word, gotten called that often enough in negative contexts

They say lightheartedly, giving Maple the pizza

She's a really sweet Smeeta Kavat, brings me luck on missions

They say while smiling softy and giving Scarlet some pats too, making her purr even more

[mapleleaf-anon]

Oh, sorry. Just a habit to say that when someone appears right after being mentioned. *He takes the pizza, digging in like someone who hasn't eaten in weeks. That might be accurate, but whatever.* What kind of missions?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Uhhh... I mostly go on survival missions these days to get resources, they tend to get... Bloody, really bloody, especially after like an hour

Scarlet meowed at that happily, yes they get really bloody and messy, she gets to keep her claws sharp during them

And Scarlet actually has to ability to increase the resource drops and she's a very skilled fighter, aren't you you little murder machine?

They said in that kind of voice you'd hear cat owners use for their cats as they gave her some scritches

[mapleleaf-anon]

Niceeeee! The only missions I've gone on were to ask people a bunch of questions. It was very boring and I got threatened a lot. *He pouts, not liking to remember that. Hey, it led to Rain being safe, so it's fine...* So Scarlet likes the fights?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Indeed she does and don't worry about her getting hurt, through a combination of my Warframe, weapon and mods installed on her I made her essentially invulnerable

Scarlet made a proud sounding meow, she loved being invulnerable, it's like the Demon is constantly hugging her when in a mission

[mapleleaf-anon]

*Maple chuckles at the cat's meow of approval to the term invulnerable and gives her some more ear scritches* Invulnerable, huh? You must love that, don'tcha, ya little killer? *He asks Scarlet, his tone staying playful, affectionate, and carefully nonthreatening.* You can kill aaaallll you want and they can't do nothin bout it, huh? Ya like that? *A bit of an accent can be heard peeking through where it was unsuccessfully trained out of him*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Drifter chuckled a bit, seems like Maple likes cats

Usually Scarlet doesn't let many people get close, she still doesn't trust some of the Protoframes

[mapleleaf-anon]

*Maple gasps playfully* So I'm special, huh? *He is joking, but it does make him happy to know that he is one of not many that get to pet this adorable creature named Scarlett*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

*Maple had woken up at some point, though he wouldn't be able to say exactly when. The first thing he did was find where Drifter was and just...

Scarlet has seen him yesterday and heard her name being mentioned in front of him, she doesn't seem to wear a collar and just tilts her head at him, he should know who she is, this Maple guy. He did call her pretty, so her tail is betraying that bit of happiness

[mapleleaf-anon]

Awwwe... Pretty, pretty, preeeetty! *He giggles and taps the floor again. He then decides to scooch closer, slowly as to not startle her.* Can I pet you, pretty girl? You look soft...

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Hmmm... Bare fangs or not? Nah, he seems alright, besides, killing him would be very easy if he tried something, so she wandered over to him

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He gasps quietly and holds out a hand for her to sniff, not realizing that it probably still smelled like blood since he hasn't properly washed that off yet... He was just trying to be friendly! It'll probably be fineeee*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She sniffed at him, he reeks of blood and death, was he on mission before and just forgot cleaning himself? Either way it's a similar smell to Drifter, so she gets comfortable and lays down beneath Maple's had

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He makes a quiet, squeaky screech, so happy that she's being friendly back. He starts gently petting her and scritching behind her ears* Pretty, pretty girl! Yeah, the prettiest girl! *He giggles happily*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Yeah he's good. He'll be allowed to live, she just begins purring, he smells like war and knows how to treat a Kavat, both good traits

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He resists the urge to squeal, scared that it might make the kitty leave, and keeps petting her. Light scritches to her neck and ears with gentle pets to her side, testing her reactions and seeing if she'd let him*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She enjoys the attention, tho when he tries to go the side she just paws him away, he ain’t the Demon

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He understands and doesn't try again, happy to continue to pet the kitty for as long as she'll let him.* Pretty, pretty... Yeah, so pretty, so good... Such a good, pretty girl!

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Yes... Yes! Praise her more! Fuel her pride, Scarlet seems to be enjoying the praise very much, he doesn't even know how well she does on mission, he needs to know!

[mapleleaf-anon]

Yeah! You're so adorable! Such a pretty girl! There's never been a prettier girl! *He cackles happily, giving more ear scritches*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She's purring even louder, taking up all the attention possible, girlie loves being pampered like this, still not as great as the Demon tho, they take her on missions

[mapleleaf-anon]

Awwwwwwe.... Drifter is so lucky to have such a pretty girl! Speaking of Drifter, I'm hungry... *He pouts then goes right back to giving the kitty some love* Pretty pretty preeeetty girl!

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

And speaking of the Demon they return! The Drifter comes down the ramp with a steaming hot Pizza in a pizza box

And I'm back with some pizza straight from 1999!

Scarlet just remains with Maple, purring loudly

And I see you befriended Scarlet

[mapleleaf-anon]

Well, speak of the devil. Hi! *He waves at Drifter and continues petting Scarlet, he'll have to remember that name*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Ouch. Careful with that word, gotten called that often enough in negative contexts

They say lightheartedly, giving Maple the pizza

She's a really sweet Smeeta Kavat, brings me luck on missions

They say while smiling softy and giving Scarlet some pats too, making her purr even more

[mapleleaf-anon]

Oh, sorry. Just a habit to say that when someone appears right after being mentioned. *He takes the pizza, digging in like someone who hasn't eaten in weeks. That might be accurate, but whatever.* What kind of missions?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Uhhh... I mostly go on survival missions these days to get resources, they tend to get... Bloody, really bloody, especially after like an hour

Scarlet meowed at that happily, yes they get really bloody and messy, she gets to keep her claws sharp during them

And Scarlet actually has to ability to increase the resource drops and she's a very skilled fighter, aren't you you little murder machine?

They said in that kind of voice you'd hear cat owners use for their cats as they gave her some scritches

[mapleleaf-anon]

Niceeeee! The only missions I've gone on were to ask people a bunch of questions. It was very boring and I got threatened a lot. *He pouts, not liking to remember that. Hey, it led to Rain being safe, so it's fine...* So Scarlet likes the fights?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Indeed she does and don't worry about her getting hurt, through a combination of my Warframe, weapon and mods installed on her I made her essentially invulnerable

Scarlet made a proud sounding meow, she loved being invulnerable, it's like the Demon is constantly hugging her when in a mission

[mapleleaf-anon]

*Maple chuckles at the cat's meow of approval to the term invulnerable and gives her some more ear scritches* Invulnerable, huh? You must love that, don'tcha, ya little killer? *He asks Scarlet, his tone staying playful, affectionate, and carefully nonthreatening.* You can kill aaaallll you want and they can't do nothin bout it, huh? Ya like that? *A bit of an accent can be heard peeking through where it was unsuccessfully trained out of him*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

*Maple had woken up at some point, though he wouldn't be able to say exactly when. The first thing he did was find where Drifter was and just... Watched them sleep, making sure that they're still breathing and still there. He doesn't know how long he was standing there, but he eventually grew hungry and decided to wander off to find something*

-🍁

Well whatever Maple just watched wasn't a bed, the Drifter was inside a big but rather empty room, they were inside a pod like structure that was connected to white glowing roots

When he walks around he'll eventually just see this thing interacting with some of the machinery

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He stares at the thing for a bit and decides not to question it. He's too hungry for this. And sore. Sleeping on the floor isn't the best idea sometimes... No matter how comfy it is*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

It notices Maple and waves at him presumably to greet and then suddenly the Drifter just manifested in front of it, the thing going completely stiff

Hey there Maple! You need something?

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He frog blinks, trying to understand what happened. He fails and just gives up* I'm too hungry for this. Do you have any food that I can take?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Uhh... I have food that's consumable for Scarlet? Maybe go ask Kahl, he probably has rations

They rub the back of their head awkwardly

My body doesn't really need food, it's just something I eat for fun, so I don't have anything stores up

[mapleleaf-anon]

*Maple grumbles and makes a weird, crackley, squawk-like sound. He doesn't want to interact with someone he doesn't know right now. Yes, he knows WHO Kahl is, but he doesn't know Kahl nor does he care to.*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

I can quickly get some pizza, it'd just take me a couple of minutes

Drifter is fully unaware that pizza is not a breakfast food, mainly due to the Hex only getting pizza for rations

[mapleleaf-anon]

Okay, I can wait. *He plops down on the floor, leaning against a wall. He doesn't really have an opinion on pizza. It's food, but it's not really the kind of food he grew up with. It's not bad though.*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

So the Drifter quickly leaves, leaving Maple alone... Not for long tho as Scarlet is seen observing him, curious about this new guy that had a similar energy to the Demon

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He gasps and pats the floor in front of him* Hi, pretty... Whatcha doing? *His voice is a bit higher pitched and quieter as he calls to the kitty, he doesn't wanna scare her after all.* How are you?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She doesn't approach yet, still cautious, but she does let out a meow, it sounded confused as if it was a question, in her mind it was, she asked who he was

[mapleleaf-anon]

Hi... Drifter is letting me stay for... I don't know how long, actually. Um... I'm Maple, who are you, pretty girl..?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Scarlet has seen him yesterday and heard her name being mentioned in front of him, she doesn't seem to wear a collar and just tilts her head at him, he should know who she is, this Maple guy. He did call her pretty, so her tail is betraying that bit of happiness

She sniffed at him, he reeks of blood and death, was he on mission before and just forgot cleaning himself? Either way it's a similar smell to Drifter, so she gets comfortable and lays down beneath Maple's had

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He makes a quiet, squeaky screech, so happy that she's being friendly back. He starts gently petting her and scritching behind her ears* Pretty, pretty girl! Yeah, the prettiest girl! *He giggles happily*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Yeah he's good. He'll be allowed to live, she just begins purring, he smells like war and knows how to treat a Kavat, both good traits

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He resists the urge to squeal, scared that it might make the kitty leave, and keeps petting her. Light scritches to her neck and ears with gentle pets to her side, testing her reactions and seeing if she'd let him*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She enjoys the attention, tho when he tries to go the side she just paws him away, he ain’t the Demon

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He understands and doesn't try again, happy to continue to pet the kitty for as long as she'll let him.* Pretty, pretty... Yeah, so pretty, so good... Such a good, pretty girl!

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Yes... Yes! Praise her more! Fuel her pride, Scarlet seems to be enjoying the praise very much, he doesn't even know how well she does on mission, he needs to know!

[mapleleaf-anon]

Yeah! You're so adorable! Such a pretty girl! There's never been a prettier girl! *He cackles happily, giving more ear scritches*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She's purring even louder, taking up all the attention possible, girlie loves being pampered like this, still not as great as the Demon tho, they take her on missions

[mapleleaf-anon]

Awwwwwwe.... Drifter is so lucky to have such a pretty girl! Speaking of Drifter, I'm hungry... *He pouts then goes right back to giving the kitty some love* Pretty pretty preeeetty girl!

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

*Maple had woken up at some point, though he wouldn't be able to say exactly when. The first thing he did was find where Drifter was and just... Watched them sleep, making sure that they're still breathing and still there. He doesn't know how long he was standing there, but he eventually grew hungry and decided to wander off to find something*

-🍁

Well whatever Maple just watched wasn't a bed, the Drifter was inside a big but rather empty room, they were inside a pod like structure that was connected to white glowing roots

When he walks around he'll eventually just see this thing interacting with some of the machinery

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He stares at the thing for a bit and decides not to question it. He's too hungry for this. And sore. Sleeping on the floor isn't the best idea sometimes... No matter how comfy it is*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

It notices Maple and waves at him presumably to greet and then suddenly the Drifter just manifested in front of it, the thing going completely stiff

Hey there Maple! You need something?

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He frog blinks, trying to understand what happened. He fails and just gives up* I'm too hungry for this. Do you have any food that I can take?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Uhh... I have food that's consumable for Scarlet? Maybe go ask Kahl, he probably has rations

They rub the back of their head awkwardly

My body doesn't really need food, it's just something I eat for fun, so I don't have anything stores up

[mapleleaf-anon]

*Maple grumbles and makes a weird, crackley, squawk-like sound. He doesn't want to interact with someone he doesn't know right now. Yes, he knows WHO Kahl is, but he doesn't know Kahl nor does he care to.*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

I can quickly get some pizza, it'd just take me a couple of minutes

Drifter is fully unaware that pizza is not a breakfast food, mainly due to the Hex only getting pizza for rations

[mapleleaf-anon]

Okay, I can wait. *He plops down on the floor, leaning against a wall. He doesn't really have an opinion on pizza. It's food, but it's not really the kind of food he grew up with. It's not bad though.*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

So the Drifter quickly leaves, leaving Maple alone... Not for long tho as Scarlet is seen observing him, curious about this new guy that had a similar energy to the Demon

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He gasps and pats the floor in front of him* Hi, pretty... Whatcha doing? *His voice is a bit higher pitched and quieter as he calls to the kitty, he doesn't wanna scare her after all.* How are you?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She doesn't approach yet, still cautious, but she does let out a meow, it sounded confused as if it was a question, in her mind it was, she asked who he was

[mapleleaf-anon]

Hi... Drifter is letting me stay for... I don't know how long, actually. Um... I'm Maple, who are you, pretty girl..?

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Scarlet has seen him yesterday and heard her name being mentioned in front of him, she doesn't seem to wear a collar and just tilts her head at him, he should know who she is, this Maple guy. He did call her pretty, so her tail is betraying that bit of happiness

[mapleleaf-anon]

Awwwe... Pretty, pretty, preeeetty! *He giggles and taps the floor again. He then decides to scooch closer, slowly as to not startle her.* Can I pet you, pretty girl? You look soft...

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

Hmmm... Bare fangs or not? Nah, he seems alright, besides, killing him would be very easy if he tried something, so she wandered over to him

[mapleleaf-anon]

*He gasps quietly and holds out a hand for her to sniff, not realizing that it probably still smelled like blood since he hasn't properly washed that off yet... He was just trying to be friendly! It'll probably be fineeee*

-🍁

[drifting-through-duviri]

She sniffed at him, he reeks of blood and death, was he on mission before and just forgot cleaning himself? Either way it's a similar smell to Drifter, so she gets comfortable and lays down beneath Maple's had

[mapleleaf-anon]
