Okay, I'll just sit right here... [She picks Breadstick up, stifling a tiny mewl by burying her face in his fur as she picks him up. Not the best plan, picking up a cat with a crudely stitched up stomach. But she needs something to cuddle that will also protect her if Lucas is mad!]

[Lucas arrives at her room with his backpack slung over one shoulder, and when he opens the door, he does not look pleased. But at seeing Nepeta--back and alive and relatively safe and...scared?--his expression softens.
He sits down next to her and ushers Breadstick out of her arms (and is only scratched a LITTLE when Breadstick swipes at him in the process), leaning forward and scooping her up as gently as he can.]
[Oh no. He's going to yell. He's going to be so mad-- OH! Cuddles. Lucas Cuddles. She was worried she'd never get one of these again! She snuggles up to him and wraps her arms around him and hugs him so tight-- ow. Less hugging.]
Yeah. Pawlmost losing your brain was really, really bad.
[He brings her back to look at her face and smooth her hair back. It's the first time he's ever been able to do it without the horns in the way, and it's odd--it almost makes her look like a human girl. If it weren't for the fangs and gray skin, of course.]
[Lucas kisses her forehead softly, and then repeats the action on the top of her head before scritching it with his fingers.]
I know. I know shit was crazy and...everyone's brain was screwed up. But if you left forever--if you died? I...I don't know what I'd do. Equius was really upset, too.
[He clears his throat quietly and tucks a bit of hair behind her ear.]
Alright. Let's...let's get this over with. How bad are you doing? ....you know. Meowie-wise.
[That is the most wonderful thing you've ever said, Lucas. Nepeta just stares in awe. She couldn't possibly love him anymore than she loves him right now. Nepeta grabs his face in her hands and smiles so big! And then rubs her grey nose against Lucas's nose.]
Thank you! He doesn't have anyone... not really. That's why I had to go with him!
... h-hee. My meowwie is fine. Really! Equius fixed it. [Sort of]
[She really didn't want to dwell on THAT particular memory. Just gonna... lift her shirt up enough so he can see the roughly stitched and jagged wound in her stomach. The internal parts are all healed, it's just the skin.
Where are you?

Just my horns. I think.

Why would you--
--never do that again. Not ever.

But I didn't want to not remember Equius. I thought that if I died befur I lost all of my brain, my inside self would still remember... and...
[She bites her lower lip and watches his expression. The hair-smoothing feels SO weird without her horns. She almost doesn't feel like a troll.]
I'm sorry, Lucas.

But you didn't go anywhere WITH him--he was back before you, and--
--well. You...you know. We were both pretty freaked. Really...really freaked.
[He lets her move back away from him as he fixes her with a no-nonsense, parental "look."] Let's see.
