♞ Equius Zahhak ♐ 23 HorsePOWER ♐ [Video] ♞

[lordsweatyhorse]

[Well, someone is feeling better. Equius is sitting on the floor of the general store, his face and shirt caked in a strange white powder which, upon closer investigation, members of the facility will realize is powdered milk, as evidenced by the canisters behind him on the shelf.

He looks annoyed, but a good deal more relaxed than he has been,

:33 < *ac lurks through the bushes, her supurr strong nose twitching with anticipation and wonderment at the idea of that pawdery milk*
:33 < *she thinks it looks purrticularly delicious!! and she wants a big bowl of it*
:33 < *but she of course cant say any of this beclaws she is occupied with her lurking*

[VIDEO FOREVER]

[CHOKING ON ALL OF THE MILK]

N-...Nepeta?? [/COUGH COUGH CHOKE]

Where are--

[...But it couldn't be his Nepeta.

Meaning...she'll be gone soon.

He cuts off in mid-sentence and just stares anxiously at the camera, coughing pitifully.]

:|| < *ac is pretty sure her purresence shouldnt be this shocking!*
:33 < *but either way she comfurtingly smacks her moirail on the back with her paw to try to stop him from choking on pawder*

[lordsweatyhorse]

...Where...where are you?

[His eyes are just. Wide. And so conflicted.]

[fountainofcute]

Equius!! [this is a very put-off looking Nepeta!!

Only not really. It's a Nepeta trying to pretend to look very put off]

You're suppawsed to read my text! I said I was in the bushes. Lurking.

[lordsweatyhorse]

...

[He just looks at her for a long, painful moment before he clears his throat.]

...I must implore you to leave the...bushes. And to come and meet me in the general store.

[video]

[fountainofcute]

[stare.

staaaaaaaaare.

staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare.]

...It's pawsible that I have no idea where that is. Or where I am.

[lordsweatyhorse]

Then show me with your communicator what the area around you looks like. I will find you.

[video]

[fountainofcute]

Okay! [And she does just that!

It's made immediately obvious that she is, in fact, right behind the general store]

[video] --> [in person]

[lordsweatyhorse]

[Equius stares, then sighs.]

Nepeta, you are...

...N-nevermind. Give me one moment.

[He cuts the feed and gets up, dusting himself off. He most definitely runs around to the back of the store to find her, though he slows to a quick, purposeful stride to sweep up behind her and cover her protectively with his arms in an awkward, perhaps-a-bit-too-STRONG hug...but not too strong. His fight with Feferi yesterday took a lot out of him.

He doesn't say anything else. He just stands there and holds her quietly.]

[in person]

[fountainofcute]

[Oh shit a hug??? She wasn't expecting this! And her bones are all still intact. Wasn't expecting that either!!

Either way, she looks up and smiles at her moirail]

Oh, you found me!
