[If there's one thing Elliot Nightray hates, it's people touching his sword. Sure, he was just going out for an innocent little walk, but he carries it with him everywhere, and when he suddenly notices it's not there? Well, he is far less than pleased.]

Wh-who...?

[isntyourfriend]

[Commence frantic searching? I think so!]

Where the hell did it go?!

[catus_carnival]

[It's behind a tree nearby.

Whether he finds it is up to him.]

[isntyourfriend]

[Oh, he'll find it. It wouldn't be very hard to spot a black blade outside, and he wouldn't give up until he found it. But that's not all he's searching for.

Why, he's searching for a possible suspect as well! No one gets away with touching his sword. No one.

Just... you know, give him a moment to find the sword.]

[catus_carnival]

[Herp.

Doo dee doo. She'll just be waiting in the branches of the tree.]

[isntyourfriend]

[Ah! There it is. He picks up his sword and holds onto it tightly, and looks around for the culprit.]

All right, who the hell touched it?!

[Of course, he doesn't look up just yet.]

[catus_carnival]

[She's not going to dignify that with an answer. Or an answer at all. That tail swishing in the leaves might draw his attention, though.]

[isntyourfriend]

[It does! That's just the hint that he needed. He looks up at the sound of the rustling leaves and... He blinks.]

...a tail?

[catus_carnival]

[...The tail stops moving at that.]

[isntyourfriend]

[...that is very odd. But just because it's stopped, it doesn't mean it's no longer there, so Elliot reaches up to try and grab that tail.]

[catus_carnival]

[Nope, bringing that tail closer to her body to avoid Elliot's grasp.]

Meow!

[isntyourfriend]

[He immediately stops trying to reach when he hears that meow.]

A cat?

[catus_carnival]

[Poking her head out of the leaves. And then the rest of her upper body which is very much human, aside from the...paws. Paw sleeve things.]

[isntyourfriend]

[...what the hell is he even looking at.]

You're not a cat.

[catus_carnival]

Tao is...kind of one!

[isntyourfriend]

How can you be kind of one?

[He has a soft spot for cats and he knows it... but not!cats? Hmm.]
