Cat Feet!

[exeggutorhead]

At first, Envy had just watched as Lust chased the Joltik around the yard, half in fascinated incredulity and half wondering whether it was Mully or just a wild one. But Heather isn't here, so probably wild.

He's well aware that there were some instincts that came along with these transformations. That doesn't make it any less surreal to watch Lust acting like this.

Eventually, he migrates from watching through the window to climbing out the window (doors aren't happening today), and sitting a little way away from her.

He wonders how long it will take her to notice him.

[a_sin_for_him]

It took her until she literally tumbled head over tail in her pursuit that she noticed Envy had joined her and was watching her...instinctual antics. It was the part of her that was currently half cat, it couldn't resist. She hadn't thought anyone was around to see her.

She rolls quickly to a sitting position, shaking grass and dried leaves out of her fur and hair.

"Enjoying yourself?"

[exeggutorhead]

Once the surprise wears off, Envy just winds up grinning. That Look she's giving him doesn't stop it.

Oh my god, Lust.

"Oh, not as much as you were, I don't think."

AH, YES, THE OTHER HALF OF HAVING A BIG BROTHER.

[a_sin_for_him]

"Shouldn't you be chasing your tail somewhere?"

She wrinkles her nose and flattens her ears at that gamine grin of his, trying to look as dignified as she can manage while covered in curly lavender fur. There are still fallen leaves stuck in her coat and hair.

[exeggutorhead]

"I don't have a tail."

No, just enough hair to make it LOOK like he does. That amused, shithead grin still firmly in place, he trots over to her on all fours himself. It's almost easier than two legs, and he's not feeling so mean as to rub his bipedal ability in her face.

He reaches out and plucks a leaf out of her hair with two of his claws.

"Besides, why wouldn't I want to hang around my little sister when she's having so much fun?"

[a_sin_for_him]

She wrinkles her nose and sticks out the tip of her tiny Espurr tongue at him. It's all in good nature, despite her feigned indignity.

"Then chase something else. A ball, a stick, a mailperson...whatever it is canines like to chase. Endless possibilities."

[exeggutorhead]

Envy looks around the yard, tapping one claw against his chin.

"Hmm, I don't see any balls or mailpeople...ah, there's something you left off your list, though."

He turns back to her, starting to smirk.

"Because I do see a cat."

RUN, LUST.

[a_sin_for_him]

"You brat!"

Lust's fur puffs up as she scrambles to her feet and took off, looking like some overgrown purple cheetah.

It wasn't as though there was anything else to do, and the part of her that was an animal took enjoyment from the chase. So she lets Envy chase her, making a beeline for the backyard fence.

She wonders if her claws were any good for climbing...

[exeggutorhead]

"Guilty!"

He gives her a moment's headstart, but after that he's after her in earnest. She was right about canines enjoying chasing cats, and for the moment he's just fine with giving over to playfulness. They could use it, with everything going on.

She'll find out about that fence soon enough, because he'll follow her there, trying to cut her off if she turns.

[a_sin_for_him]

Lust's brilliant plan to scale the fence doesn't go quite as well as she'd hoped. She makes it halfway up, and then starts losing traction. In a panic, she braces and bounces herself off of it, tumbling over Envy and landing with a squeal behind him.

But she does land! On her feet, even. Maybe that old adage about cats and their landings is true.

She streaks toward the front of the house, knowing it's not going to take Envy long to turn around.
