[Myri's attention is grabbed by the ruckus. She's been reading a small book (probably loaned by Gar, and certainly not 50 Shades of Grey this time), but once she sees what's caused the issue, she motions for Amaranth to follow.]

Kat! You haven't introduced us to your friend.

[shootfirst]

Oh, right! Everybody: this is Lucky. [ the cat unfurls from the ball its formed in her arms enough to open two slitted suspicious yellow eyes and look around at them all. its gaze settles on amaranth who he watches cautiously as his tail swishes lazily back and forth ] He was my birthday present from Gar - and now he's my familiar.

[witchwoman]

He's beautiful. [Myri comments, but it's Amaranth who inches his large form closer. Sometimes it's easy for Myri to forget how much large her familiar is than a standard cat, but with the comparison right in front of her, her eyes widen a little. The flywacket stops right in front of Kat and sits back on his haunches, looking up.]

Merwack! [He squawks, looking up expectantly.]

[shootfirst]

[ gar just about jumps out of her seat again at the sudden noise, but kat laughs and the cat leans forward off her lap, clearly intrigued. its whiskers twitch slightly as it examines amaranth before it finally appears content with what it sees and emits a self-satisfied sound 'purrrrf' noise. ]

I think he likes him.

[witchwoman]

[Myri lets Amaranth do his thing because she knows he won't harm the smaller creature.]

Perhaps they can be friends. [She says with a grin. She turns to Gar.]

You got him for Sir Kat? But you don't seem to like him much.

[rationalizes]

Oh, it isn't that I don't like him, it's that I didn't realize I was highly a--ah-aH CHOO! [ explosive sneeze! ]




... allergic.

[witchwoman]

[Myri jumps at the sound of the sneeze.]

Oh! Oh my... I suppose I should be thankful that you've not had the same reaction to Amaranth.

[Gar can officially list 'not allergic to flywackets on her resume, I guess.]

Is there anything to be done?

[shootfirst]

She took something for it, but it takes a little time to kick in. Medicine, so much less convenient than magic, amirite?

[witchwoman]

[Hearing that make Myri feel a bit better. At least Gar should be feeling better soon.

Meanwhile, Amaranth inches closer to the kitten, picking one of his large talon-paws and placing it on the seat beside Kat. He gives the smaller creature a look that essentially says 'playtime?']

[shootfirst]

[ lucky seems to interpret it just fine, jumping off her lap and onto the ground and letting out an imperious "MREOW" ]

[witchwoman]

[Amaranth turns, moving into a pounce position. He's much larger than the cat, so he holds the position for now. Myri doesn't seem concerned. Amaranth knows his own strength quite well. His tail twitches in the air, waiting for the cat to make a move.]

[shootfirst]

[ lucky stalks around him in a slow circle, looking for a place to spring from... and then abruptly vanishes into thin air. kat groans ] Lucky! [ she glances over at myri ] Sorry, we're just settling into the bond so sometimes he uses up one of my spells without me telling him t-- [ and suddenly INVISIBLE CAT LAUNCHES ITSELF AT AMARANTH ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri's eyes go wide as the cat disappears. She glances to Kat as the explanation begins to come, but there's no time to hear the rest because Amaranth makes a strangled squawk sound when Lucky collides into him. The flywacket's wings come out then and fold around both he and Lucky. Amaranth rolls the pair of them around.]

[rationalizes]

I-is it entirely safe for them to be doing that...?

[witchwoman]

Amaranth is very careful. And flywackets are quite used to magic. They're distant relatives of dragons, after all.

[shootfirst]

Hopefully the little dude's not related to Fred Jr., then. I'd have to start feeling sorry for him.

[witchwoman]

I do not think the dragons from my world are the same as those here. The dragons on Kardia Hodos do not have scales. Legends say they are covered in a crystal fur.

[rationalizes]

Well, that's rather fascinating. Perhaps they have more in common with the crystal dragons of the Shadow World.

[witchwoman]

It's possible. Wouldn't it be a wonder if all our worlds were connected in some way?

[rationalizes]

I'd like to think so. It gives a sense of greater purpose to all our lives, don't you think?

[witchwoman]

It certainly makes life more of a puzzle. [She grins at Gar before gasping as Amaranth pounces on the smaller cat.]
