[High, high, high; the feed comes from up high in a tree. Shijima was not fond of the new arrival procedure, and had taken off almost instantly. Ridiculous, she'd thought. Really annoying. Really unnecessary.

Those things apply to the situation in general, not just the newer setup.

She's in no way pleased. Not a single bit, and the leaves rustle

[ He knows that voice and that face, oh yes-- ]

Milady, you--

... Where are you?

[heartdissonance]

Ah...

[Interested - mildly surprised - but no less angry.]

A tree. A very inconspicuous tree. Hello.

[He isn't one she'd easily forget.]

[ For a moment, uncertain what to say-- then certain practicalities reassert themselves. ]

Might I provide you with any assistance? For unless I mistake my guess, you have come a long way.

[heartdissonance]

I don't... need assistance. I'm only eager for sunrise.

"Take to the nest"? [Yeah that doesn't sound outright ironic and weird when this girl is clearly up in a tree. Really.]

Video

[heartdissonance]

In a sense, at least.

I know your hair.

[icy_heavens]

And in what sense is that?

[He just kind of blinks at that last bit.] Do you. [It doesn't sound like a question, because it's not. It's a demand for elaboration. He doesn't recognize her; they'd only spoken once or twice. Briefly.]

[heartdissonance]

A nesting sense. [Quirk of a grin; her teeth are a little sharp.]

I do. More or less. [It's been only an evening for her. Plus, stalking tendencies, all that.]

...

[wait, he knows you.]

Shijima, right?

[Another pause. He's going to skip the rest of the formalities and go straight to address the "covered in blood" thing.]

...something happen?

[Stupid question, yep. Snake is full of 'em.]

[FUCK YOUR STUPID EMOTIONAL REACTIONS.]

Several somethings. Inconsequential, in this place. It's not important to anyone here.

...Snake.

[Corrected with a kind of bemused thoughtlessness because what.]

You look like hell.

[REALLY EXCITED, initially, more excited and happy and pleased than he'll ever let on. Or--well, maybe he will let on, but keeping cool is important too, at least right now it is--and anyway she's quite unhappy, that much is clear--but Merlin, he can't help being pleased--]

[atrumcanis]

[Carefully bored and languid:]

Can we say "look what the cat dragged in", or is that some sort of conundrum.

[video]

[heartdissonance]

I was expecting something even more witty, if you were still here. Please don't let me down...

[That's untrue, she expected this almost exactly. And it pleases her, despite her terrible mood.]

[atrumcanis]

[He pauses, thoughtfully.]

How do cats end a fight?

[quackery]

[The weird sniffing girl is back--

Could this week get any worse.]
