[Nepeta Leijon] 2nd Pounce! [Video]

[poisoncatnip]

[Nepeta turns on the camera shakily. It's her first time using a video feed in a long time, and it shows. The screen is tilted a little, but straights out after she props it up on the ground. It shows a young troll girl with gray skin, dusty and scratched horns, and dark rings under her eyes that she hopes no one will notice. She hasn't slept in..

{Have Tobias looking a little better than before, and with an incredibly worried look.}

Hey Nepeta, are you alright? You know we don't have any problem with you living in the flat, you don't have to live outside... You might get hurt.

[Nepeta makes a bigger attempt to hide the dark rings under her eyes, now that someone's actually watching and talking to her.]

AC assures Mr. Tobias that she's purrfectly okay! She just misses living in her cave.. it's been a long time since she lives anywhere but the lab in the Veil. She purrmises that she won't get hurt, even if Gam-- ummm... if monsters come by, she has sharp teeth and claws to defend herself with!

What? A-are you sure? Do you need me to bring you anything? {Oh man, he's so worried about poor Nepeta. She's his new friend after all, and pack-mates have to look after each other.}

I purrmise I'm okay! And by purrmise I mean promise, just so you know I'm serious! There are Earth squeakbeasts all ofur the place in here, so there's plenty to eat, and I haven't seen any big mon... [She glances around and then shakes her head clear.] There's nothing scary on Earth at all! I'm a strong troll and I can take care of myself! In fact, I bet I could hunt a musclebeast now, with how strong I've gotten befur now! [Or how strong she would be, if she were able to sleep. Not that she'll mention that - it never does any good to tell people you're weak.]

Squeakbeasts? {He blinks a couple of times.} You mean mice? You'd have to eat a lot of them to fill yourself up, wouldn't you?

You know, I'm good at hunting too. I have a special trick I can use. We could hunt something bigger for you. {Because he doesn't actually have any problems with hunting - in his world it's sort of how people survive now. He holds a finger up to his lips.} Oh! But we'd have to keep the trick a secret, between me and you!

Squeakbeasts are a lot like crackers, I guess. They taste great with tea! Especially cameowmile and pepurrmint!

A special trick? I'd love to have some help hunting! Actually, I haven't been able to hunt together with someone since my lusus died, so.. so this'll be extra-furry-nice fur me! And yes, I purrmise to keep it a secret! [She has no one to tell about it except Eridan and Kaoru, after all.]

[Video]

[sheepinwolfskin]

Ooh. I love tea! It's great. {Oh God, Tobi, you're so British.}

Alright! I'll come and hunt with you whenever you want. Though uhm... maybe not just now. I have something I need to take care of... {And he looks a little scared here.}

[Video]

[poisoncatnip]

We should get some to go with our meal when we hunt! [If Nepeta knew what a British person was, she would probably love them.]

Hrm? [She frowns.] Are you okay? Do you need some help taking care of it? [People should not look scared ever. She sees it too often and it's always justified and it never ends well. She wants to make sure her new friend is extra-safe.]

[Video]

[sheepinwolfskin]

No. I'll be okay. I have help right now... {He gives her a reassuring smile.}

[Video]

[poisoncatnip]

Hmmm... [She brightens up quickly. Smile and look cute, Nepeta, and they'll never suspect how worried you are.] Alright! AC will hunt a big pile of squeakbeasts to share with Mr. Tobias whenever he comes to visit! She's sure he'll be purrfectly fine, and she makes sure he purrmises to bring ofur any big animals he hunts so he can share with her! [Translation: Come back alive. You are too important to die now.]
