Do You See What I See? [Open]

Oct 14, 2010 12:44

Arhu wandered into the Obs Deck and found a relatively quiet space, sitting down and wrapping his tail neatly around his feet. Looking out the viewport at space travelling by them - only it wasn't space, it was that thing called the Bleed - he half-closed his eyes, all the better to see and be seen by the immaterial. Or to See and be Seen by it ( Read more... )

After spending a few days lazing around Grand Central, letting her energy come back bit by bit, Rhiow was up and about again. She'd seen Arhu in passing here and there but the ship was big enough that you could miss someone ridiculously easy.

She should have expected to find him on the observation deck. She trotted closer and settled down nearby, flicking her tail as she watched him. Arhu might be able to See something she'd missed - the Eye was useful for that sort of thing, and Rhiow didn't want to interrupt him.

He leaped up suddenly, fur fluffing in annoyance as he started pacing. "Why won't it work?! I can See it, sort of, but I can't See around it, and going above it doesn't work either because it's there too!"

Then he looked over at Rhiow and sat down, beginning a quick bout of annoyed composure-grooming. Once that was taken care of, he muttered, "'Luck, Rhiow."

"Welcome to my world," she said dryly. "Stacy is all about making things not work the way they're supposed to, apparently."

She curled her tail around her feet and looked out into the Bleed, watching the multicolored lights stream by the ship. "I take it you haven't been able to make heads or tails of it yet."

"I can See it," he said almost miserably. "But that Bleed's in the way, and I don't know how to get around it."

Nunnally was still getting used to the layout of the ship. So for now she was wandering, sorting things out in her mind as she did so, and trying to memorize the paths she took to get to different places.

Obs Deck... she'd been here before, but it couldn't hurt to look around again. And so she did, and what she found was surprising. A tiny cat, sitting in a somewhat odd pose. She approached, bending over slightly to get a closer look at it.

Opening his eyes once more, he laid his ears back in annoyance. There was something about it all... He just couldn't get back that twisting, whirling Bleed. If he could, he could get above it, but it was all around him. Not like linear time, not at all.

Finally he sat up, tail lashing, and then peered up at the ehhif queen who was looking at him. "What?"

Nunnally pulled back, startled. He'd talked to her. That kitten had just talked to her!

She'd seen a lot of very strange things and heard things talk that certainly shouldn't, but she really hadn't expected that. "Oh, I'm sorry," she said. "I assumed you were someone's pet..."

He gave her a disgusted look at that, and turned his back on her. "I'm not one of those People that has to depend on an ehhif for everything."

Of course, Rhiow wasn't either, but she did live with an ehhif. He did too, and sometimes Abha'd seemed to think that he was Arhu's now, but he wasn't close to the ehhif. And he didn't want to be, either.

Still, in utter dismissal of the sheer idea, he sat down and stuck his right leg over his shoulder before leaning down to wash.
