57 - [video of feet + action]

[blackshadow]

[ The device turns on with a clatter and...purring. ]

—Hey! Cut it out-!

[ And Tyr's very annoyed voice as he tries to shoo away the two long-hair cats that are rubbing against his legs as he stands at the kitchen counter. ]

This isn't even— Sindar!

[ And a second later, another cat is plopped to the floor with the other two. ]

I don't know how Luc put up with you...

[ He finally reaches for his device to click off the feed. And probably get back to making breakfast. ]

[negativegate]

[♥~! /holds ;o; You can make it!!]

[Hoping for something that'll never happen.]

[And Rita's pretty glad to see that he seems happy himself.]

That's because they were there!

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! /clings! Thanks ;v; I WILL SOMEHOW... ]

[ Not in a million years. ]

What's that supposed to mean?

[negativegate]

[♥~! /holds! I'm sure you will!!]

[Or longer-!]

It means I couldn't help myself!

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! /cries! I will. It's just everything piling up... ]

[ A hundred million years! ]

Haha. And you think Luc was weird because he couldn't, either?

I thought it was pretty cute when you both did it...

[negativegate]

[♥~! ;_; I know that feeling. It's really nerve-wracking!]

[Til the end of the universe-!]

O-okay, okay...But it's not like we'd be like that now. It's just because we were cursed.

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! It is! I was freaking out earlier today... I hope your studies are going well! ]

[ And even after that-! ]

Luc wouldn't be, but I don't know about you... I could see you playing with a cat's ears...

[negativegate]

[♥~! Oh. :( It does sound like you have a lot to do...I hope it doesn't get too stressful! And thanks, I ended up staying offline to study today.]

[It's just so improbable...!]

H-hey, I wouldn't bat at them like a cat!

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! I do, but on the bright side they're mostly small things that are due soon. I don't blame you for staying offline. It's hard to concentrate otherwise... ]

[ Next to impossible! ]

I wonder if I can test that...

[negativegate]

[♥~! At least they'll be out of the way soon. :( But I hope it'll be okay until then, too! And sob, yeah, I had to keep the distractions awaaay...]

[It'd take a miracle-!]

Huh? How do you plan to do that?

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! Yeah, thankfully. :') If all goes well... I looked at the due dates for my larger assignments and a lot of them don't come up for a week at least. Did your plan work out well? :3 ]

[ And those don't exist! ]

I'd have to get Reinbach back here, and...

[ Oh, let him just look around for her for a second. ]

[negativegate]

[♥~! It's still tough to have so much due in a short space of time. :< But I'm sure you'll get through all of it! My plan soooorta worked...|D;]

[Huff nope, that'd just be silly.]

You don't need to actually try it...

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! Definitely :( There's a reason I always come back to only doing this thread. orz And thank you! I feel better about it now than I did earlier. Until you got antsy and came back!? ]

[ Yep. It's like luck. ]

Worried you'll actually be tempted again?

[ Where are you, Reinbach... Ducking his head down to look under the table...! ]

[negativegate]

[♥~! One is nice, at least! A little RPing so it's not all work. ;_; And I'm glad you're better now!]

[With incredibly low odds...!]

Of course not...I just don't want you to waste your time.

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! Exactly!! Something to cool off with... ;_; And thank you! /hugs ;v; ]

[ Like 10000:1! ]

[ He picks himself back up and smiles at her. He looks a lot more relaxed than when he first leaned against the counter before and started holding her hand. ]

I don't really have any other plans, though, unless you have something in mind...

[negativegate]

[♥~! Yeah ;o; I hope your homework doesn't get too overwhelming! /holds]

[At best!]

[Rita can't help but notice and feel like--even if she is a little flustered--she can't really mind. She's glad he's in lighter spirits.]

Well...I didn't exactly imagine batting at a cat's ears.

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! I hope the same is true for your tests! I just wish there wasn't so much. ]

[ At worst, the 10,000 is an exponent. ]

[ If only teasing her wasn't one of the things that made him so happy. ]

I don't think you really would, either, you know... Sindar would probably scratch you if you tried on her, too.

[negativegate]

[♥~! Thanks. ;v; And man, I know...it's the amount that's the worst. ._.]

[najksdn yes, horrible probability...]

[Good thing she doesn't usually mind Tyr's teasing! She just...gets too tsun about it.]

I'll just stick to your ears when you're a dog, then.

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! It iiiis. :( That's when it gets scary! But soon, it'll be summer break... ]

[ Unimaginably so... ]

[ Someday, he'll lay off it. It's just so easy. ]

So it's only dog ears that you like playing with?

[negativegate]

[♥~! Yeah ;_; Soon you'll be free!! Also I'm going to head off to sleep a bit early, so I hope you have a good night. /o/]

[Practically impossible...]

[Easy like calling Tyr cute~]

More like just your ears.

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! And so will you~! And I hope you have a great day tomorrow! Good night~ ]

[ Unlike calling Tyr cute... |D SOMEDAY HE'LL BE USED TO IT. ]

They weren't that different from cat ears...

[ He'll tug on Rita's ear a little with his fingers, though. ]

[negativegate]

[♥~! Thaaanks! I hope day's going well, too! :3]

[Hee, one day, one day...! And Rita makes a little noise of surprise, turning her head towards his hand.]

W-well I'm different from a cat!

[blackshadow]

[♥~! Thank you~! /hugs! IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THE PROFESSOR HAD THE RIGHT SYLLABUS ONLINE.]

[Just need time-! And...yes, he laughs a little before pulling his hand away.]

But you still like mine?

[negativegate]

[♥~! njkasd sob THAT SOUNDS AWFUL why would they...;_;]

[Time and diligence~!]

You need to ask?

[And just for that, she'll reach over to lightly tug on his!]

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! She forgot to change it two weeks ago... ;_; ]

[ And maybe hope! He keeps smiling over at her, not exactly minding this at all. ]

I wouldn't have guessed...

[negativegate]

[♥~! Oh man...;_; Is it really important?]

[Hope, yes-! And now she blushes slightly--maybe part of her wanted more of a reaction, even though the other part of her is glad he's comfortable.]

Are you saying I'm obvious?
