@fluminas : a kitten stumbles towards yuzuha almost - blindly: barbara’s goal, of course, is to reach diasomnia — if the combined forces of several powerful fae couldn’t fix this, they could at least keep her safe until the spell wore off — but as it turns out, walking with three feet rather one is more difficult than it seems. so barbara is stuck somewhere on the campus grounds (it looks so different from down here, can you blame her?), screaming at the top of her cat - lungs for help. / cat time sorry yuzu
Yuzuha is on her knees immediately, a palm extending towards the tiny creature. With all the well - meaning impulsiveness of a shoujo heroine, Yuzuha, after giving the kitten a moment to sniff at her fingers, carefully scoops the small thing into her hands. How did she get onto campus — she’s so tiny. Is her mother nearby, maybe? Or did her mother ——— oh, the poor little thing.
“Hi,” Yuzuha coos, carefully petting the top of her — tiny, little, so very small — head with one finger. She’s glad there’s no one else around right now; she doesn’t want to share, and she gets the sense it might overwhelm the kitten. “I’m Sasaki - chan. You can call me by my first name Yuzuha if you want. Or even just Yuzu. It’s really nice to meet you, Neko - chan.” Moving the kitten and her hands closer to her chest, Yuzuha cheks for injuries — nothing obvious aside from the leg, but there’s no blood or sign of scabbing, so she was likely just born that way. “Let’s get you out of here before some big mean upperclassman comes and steps on you by mistake. We can look for your Mama for a little bit, and if we don’t find her, I’ll take you home and we’ll find get you some food and milk, okay?”
The kitten screams in response; she’s got no choice to take that as a yes. Grim is gonna have to adjust to being part of a multi - cat household at this rate. As she straightens and starts off, knowing the sorts of nooks and crannies a mother cat might hide babies in, she adds, “I’ve got some nice soft blankets, and lots of cat food for Grim, so we’ll make it nice and comfy for you, Neko - chan. Promise.”
