Second floor common room, Saturday morning

[unusual_sith]

Delirium had said there were cartoons on Saturday mornings, and they seemed like an interesting thing, so Lana had commandeered the TV to try watching a few. In case anybody else showed up, she made a pot of coffee and a kettle of hot water for tea. She was drinking the latter, with proper blue cream, and eating something that claimed to be cereal, but seemed more like sugar in a bowl (the milk for that had started white, but it was now a multicoloured mess).

So if anybody were looking for the Sith, they'd find her watching Looney Tunes (and a few other things) in her pajamas and eating Lucky Charms.

Totally Sithly.

Ahhhh, bliss. Bliss. He'd gotten exactly what he'd wanted.

"I just didn't want to get them in trouble, so we came up with that idea!"

"I take it maybe students like you weren't allowed at your friends' school?" Prompto guessed, not at all ceasing in his idle pets and scritches and especially taking the time to smooth out Kyubey's so, so soft fur along his back. "What was it like? Do you miss them?"

[abbreviateme]

"I'll see them again, so I don't miss them!"

He wouldn't miss them anyway.

"I've never seen another one like me around," Kyubey said, which was almost the truth. He was still making little happy purr noises. "So we didn't want to cause a fuss or have anyone think they should experiment on me or stick me in a lab..."

Oof. Ouch. Right in the traumatic origin story with that one. Prompto frowned a little, looking down at Kyubey thoughtfully as he continued petting him lightly.

"Yeah," he said, "that's no good, man. Nobody should have to go through something like that just because their different. Or for any reason at all..."

No one should have to be created for the sole purpose of stuff like that, either.

"And it worked, too, right? You guys didn't get, like, caught sneaking you around or anyhting, did you?"

Kyubey shook his head, his ears flopping about with the movement.

"Oh, no! We were never caught!" He licked his paw, once, before adding, "And if anyone ever did see me, I was to pretend I was a stuffed animal!"

"OOoh, that's smart," Prompto complimented with a nod, thinking he would have a much harder time pulling htat one off himself. "You pretty good at it, too? I don't think I could stay still for that long."

Considering he could barely stay still ever, that checked.

Well, Kyubey did normally target young teen girls, so... they usually had a much easier time passing off a toy.

Was that fair? No. But that was how it was.

"It's not hard," Kyubey said, since it was actually really easy for him to do. "At least, for me. How long do you think you could stay still for?"

[hashtag_chocobro]

Prompto didn't so much pause as he did actually attempt to stay still in that moment, and then had to break it when he couldn't help laughing.

"Like, two seconds, dude," he said, "tops. I should probably work on that. You're probably a whole lot better at it. Hey, let's actually see it. Do your best stuffed animal impression for me."

[abbreviateme]

"If you want," Kyubey said obligingly.

Then went still. Completely and utterly still.
