Cat Spirit 13! [Action] (backdated to Christmas Eve)

[catus_carnival]

[On this fine Christmas Eve, late at night, a certain catgirl is playing Santa. Or rather, Santacat. Which means breaking into homes (with different attire this time!). Clawing a circular hole in the windows, and then carefully removing it to gain access into the homes of her friends. This is what Santa does, break into homes. Or at least that's

[Unfortunately, Tao may find Presea's home has been deserted, but the little woodcutter - not needing to really sleep much - is wide awake in her room next door, after having been invited to live with her friends there. She'd been carving wooden charms and figures as gifts for her friends, after hearing so much about this Christmas thing around the journals.

Hearing the commotion next door, she opens her window and peeks out into the snowy gloom. ...She could recognize those ears anywhere.]

...Tao?

[A gasp.]

How did you know it was Tao, meow?

[Action]

[not_klonoa]

I could recognize your silhouette. ...What are you doing? [Breaking into my old house.]

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

Silo-what?

Tao is giving people gifts, meow!

[Action]

[not_klonoa]

[Almost automatically--] Silhouette. ...Noun - "a dark image outlined against a lighter background".

Gifts? Oh...I have one for you as well. [And she goes over to give Tao a very small, simple wooden charm shaped like a cat.] You may also paint and decorate it...if you wish.

...? [that is a very confusing concept obviously]

It's not food, but Tao likes it anyway! Thanks, meow!

[and she'll hand over her badly wrapped present to Presea, with little bits of it uncovered because those giant paws are not meant for detailed work.]

[Action]

[not_klonoa]

Would you...like some food?

[She can totally make you something. Or at least dig through the fridge and stuff to find something Tao might like. But her attention is diverted towards the poorly wrapped gift and she seems shocked to be getting one. She looks to Tao for a moment then back at the gift before taking it and unwrapping it carefully.

Oh goodness, that is precious. Presea holds it up, and beams.]

Th-Thank you...!

Tao likes food, but food has to wait! I have to give everyone else their presents too, meow.

Now you can look like too, meow.

[Action]

[not_klonoa]

All right. May I try it on now? If you must depart quickly...then I will wait.

[But she will wear it. Presea inspects the little jacket carefully, feeling the fabric on her fingers. The material was soft and thick, even if parts of it needed to be restitched or just touched up a little. It'd provide ample warmth in the winter months, and though Presea didn't really make the connection, it was very cute.]

[catus_carnival]

Sure you can, meow! Tao can wait a little.

[Action]

[not_klonoa]

[And with a nod, Presea carefully pulls on the jacket. She'll have to take out her pigtails to properly wear the hood, but everything else fit fine, and it was awfully warm and snug. Also the best things ever, which Presea is inspecting with great interest...

Pawpads! 8D Pokepokepokepo--er, ahem.]

It is a precise fit. Thank you, Taokaka.

[catus_carnival]

You're welcome, meow!

Uh-oh! Tao's gotta get going neow!

[Action]

[not_klonoa]

All right. Please, take care.

[And ninja-ing the way out of her window, with a wave back.]
