Duck has brought Rose some shinies he found on his way home. The shinies include; An old bottle cap, a quarter, two nickels, four dimes, and a pen that looks gold plated.

Was he a good hunter today? Praise please!!

Rose glanced at the shiny items, then at Duck.

"Where did you find these?" Especially the pen, it looked like a really nice pen and- as much as she loved pens- it would probably be best to return it if possible.

Still, he's looking at her like he wants to be praised... She pets his head, smiling.

"Thank you for these items!" She's not gonna say 'good boy', but she is grateful.

Rose let out a soft hum.

“Yaotl... I still don’t like him, but if he can be civil and keep your kids from destroying things, then I suppose I have no issue with him being there...” She still wasn’t a fan of the idea, but if it was the only option, so be it.

“I love your kids, don’t get me wrong, but they’re trouble. I don’t know how you manage.”

Rose’s face flushed at Duck’s words.

“To be fair, that kind of spider has scared me since I was aa small child and saw one in a bathroom I was using. Also it was big, and also I’ve slept on couches or in chairs before, no big deal.” Sure she’d be a bit stiff in the morning, but she wasn’t going to admit that.

Duck blinked, just staring at Rose for a few long seconds before his eyes drifted toward her bedroom door. He didn’t say anything. Not even as he started to walk past her. He opened the door to her bedroom; leaving it open as he stepped inside. A pink glittering mist enveloped the doorway seconds after. Seemed Duck was taking matters into his own paws. 

There were a few soft noises, but nothing worrying.

Both the girls went red, and Iris glanced at Rose, seeing her brain struggle to reboot. A pause, then Rose cleared her throat.

“Thanks, Dasu. You all look wonderful as well!” Rose gently adjusted the presents she was carrying.

“We… brought presents.” Iris said, trying to break the ice.

“Duck… I love you, but you staring is making me a bit nervous.” Rose’s approach was direct as always.

“I’ll take those!” Dasu said. He took the presents off of Iris and walked them over to the tree with the rest. He seemed chipper, but it was understandable. It was Christmas after all. 

Duck shook from his staring, his eyes drifting to the floor. He brought at hand up to scratch at his head. “Oh. Sorry. You’re just... You look really good.” Duck couldn’t quite find the words to explain how pretty Rose looked. He just knew ‘good’ wasn’t even close. 

Damien had also stopped staring, deciding to go back to his game instead. He was showing Voss how to beat a level. Though, Voss wasn’t really paying attention, he was trying to look at the screen and not to Iris. He didn’t want to make her uncomfortable after all. He did wave and gave a smile, but beyond that he sat quietly.

Rose was silent, pale as the images and voices came. This...

Was something she had felt before. Not in the ways he had. The darkness, she called it. It was when her depression was at it’s strongest. The worthless feeling, the desire to give up...

In an instant, she was at Duck’s side, hugging him. She wasn’t about to let go.

“I love you, Duck. You mean the world to me. If something’s bugging you... you don’t have to deal with it alone.”

Duck flinched, and attempted to move away. Though, hearing her voice and seeing her face seemed to ease him. He didn’t say anything at first. He just turned away from her and stared off. It was something he normally did, so this wasn’t too different. Though, the added later of the voices, mixed with how close he was standing to the edge. He had come to the roof to think. It was quiet here, but the longer he sat, the more he realized this was the worst possible place be could be. 

    Say something stupid...

Duck held onto Rose’s arm and his tail curled around her. 

“I’m o-...” He paused, as if to reconsider what he was going to say. Jane had told him he needed to stop saying he was fine. However... he wasn’t sure he could ever begin to tell Rose all the fucked up things he was thinking about. Taking in a shaking breath, he turned around. His head resting in her shoulder as he pulled her in close. His claws, tugging at her clothes as he held her tight. 

“I’m.... not okay.”

Catto Rose

Rose was thankful she was on her way to see Duck when the anon’s magic began to change her. She felt herself shrink, and before long a calico cat stood where Rose once was. One thought rushed through her head:

I need to find Duck.

Hurrying, she went to do just that.

Duck was about his usual, boring, mischief at the front desk. His feline form lazing about on the book of tenets. It was the typical slow sort of day. Well, slow for Duck. He got his tail stuck in the drawer twice today, and rolled off at least once. 

In his bored state, he almost missed the shape that approached him. His ears twitched, and his head gave a slight tilt. A cat. He would have thought that was strange if it wasn’t for where he lived.

Rose would not deny that she squeaked when Dasu turned into a beast-like form and basically placed her on his back.

For such an angel, this form didn’t seem angelic.

Damien’s three eyes chilled her, but she didn’t show it. She wasn’t afraid of either of them, just confused.

“What’s this about?” Where would they be going so important that they dragged her away? Her thoughts turned to Duck, and dread gripped her.

“Duck’s not hurt, is he?” Knowing his luck, he very well could be hurt…

Dasu turned his head to look at Rose. Eyes wide but ears perked up. His fur bristling. “Wha- No! No no! Papa’s fine!”

He took a breath, calming himself. He probably didn’t look like Duck was fine. He looked more relaxed now. “Papa’s fine... I mean. He was fine when we left. N-Not that he isn’t fine! I’m... I’m sure he’s fine! I mean-” 

A strange voice called out from the shadow. It barely sounded like Damien. It was like someone whispering, but the volume was turned to a normal speaking voice. It cut through Dasu’s little rant. “Papa’s fine.”  

“R-Right... Papa’s fine.”
