[The shaggy hair that shows above the blanket is thick with white, as Mika sits on the edge of the bed, her head bowed and face hidden by her steepled fingers, her elbows planted on her knees. Her neat claws are long and yellowed, her smooth skin sunken around her joints. Had her winter coat not been grown in, it would have been easy to see her

Mika...are...

Are you alright?

Video

[notlikethemovie]

I haven't lost a limb yet. [She sits up straight, to the very audible popping of joints. She looks tired under her white shaggy fur.]

You look good, Aaron.

Oh Mika...

[Have that fond smile. He luffs you, sister.]

Let me come over?

[Her tail wags, not in a way that seems lazy, but more like she's trying to move as little as possible. There's a faint smile on her thin lips.]

Wouldn't mind. Don't feel like running all over like I used to.

[He smiles softly, rising.]

I'll be there soon. Do you want me to bring you some hot chocolate or tea?

Video

[notlikethemovie]

Hot chocolate sounds fine, tea was never really a favorite.

Video

[former_pasha]

I'll make some for both of us when I get there, then.

Video

[notlikethemovie]

Sounds alright. Door should be unlocked. Pardon if I don't get up. [She eases back, wrapping herself up in the blanket a bit more.]

Video

[former_pasha]

No, you just rest. No need to run around.

Video

[notlikethemovie]

Hnnn, hate feeling creaky like this. I'll need to get up sometime.

Video

[former_pasha]

I imagine...hopefully it won't be too long, then we can go play ball, okay?

Video

[notlikethemovie]

I look forward to it. [Again, that slight tailwag.]
