Backdated to directly after the tea party

[TO ALL TYKIS EVER:]

[No matter where you are, or what you were doing - god forbid you were doing something perverted - you will find that your coat has vanished. Seriously. One minute, it was there, and the next minute, it was gone.]

[That's because someone took it. And that someone is now tip-toeing through the halls of the South Wing to an

[We'll say that Tyki hasn't quite gone into the tea party yet, so he's still his normal size~ And not that he ever wears his coat anymore...he did notice it was missing.

So walking behind her, lollipop in his mouth.]

[marreddreams]

[Why do you get all the candy? B|]

[It's only when she gets to the T-junction in the middle of the South Wing that she notices him following her, and so she turns around and skips toward him, holding the coat up so that she doesn't trip.]

Tyki!

[Incoming: glomp]

[justacatphase]

[Because going cold turkey sucks ass.

Catches her easily, or possibly scoops her up if she's that sleepy, it's been a long while since he's gotten to see a Road.]

I was beginning to think you didn't exist here, my dear. [So. Forgive him for holding a bit tighter than normal. At least for a moment.]

[marreddreams]

[But why are you doing that? Can't Tyki do what he wants? B|]

[J-just. Watch her back. She doesn't mind being held tight, really, but she does stiffen unconsciously and bury her face into his neck.]

Tyki's just been hiding!

[justacatphase]

[Joyd doesn't want him to smoke. Gives him horrible migraines if he does.

He's got them more so around her waist to keep her up, one slips up to lightly ruffle her hair.]

Perhaps I have, I enjoy a good game of hide and seek after all. [Especially if he's the hider.]

[marreddreams]

[Good, that's okay. As it is, she gives him a sleepy nudge.] You shouldn't hide. You'll make Papa cry.

[justacatphase]

[Eyebrow twitches at the mention of Cyril and he hoists her a little higher.] A good cry will do him good. He'd just want to torture me again anyway.

[marreddreams]

[Sharper nudge. Possibly digging elbows in now.] Don't be mean, Tyki!

[justacatphase]

[Grunts a bit and hides his nose in her hair.] One can take only so much ear tugging, my dear.

[marreddreams]

[Giggles a little bit, ignoring, and tips her head back to look up at him.]

Did you bring me any candy?

[justacatphase]

I suppose I might have an extra piece. [Digging around in his pocket and holds out a lollipop of her choice for her to take.]

[marreddreams]

[Looks like blue. But does it really matter? She rips the wrapper off and pops it into her mouth.]

[Oh. Cat ears? EYING THEM NOW. Yes, it took her this long. Blame it on general sleepiness.]

[justacatphase]

[Oh boy. At least warn him a little before you start tugging on those. Wouldn't want to drop her.]

[marreddreams]

[No, not tugging. She may be Road, but she's a bit more careful than her counterparts. Besides, she knows what it's like to not want to be touched.]

[R-reaching up to touch them very carefully, like a little girl would pet a baby animal.]

[justacatphase]

[One of them flicks in surprise but pretty much returns to the same position. Yet the light touch still gets a soft, rumbling purr out of Tyki.]

[marreddreams]

They're soft!

[She's so excited about this that she almost dropped the lolipop. BRB PETTING NOW.]
