[CATastrophe]

With Awen in there, she's glad that it's over and she closes her eyes and relaxes a little.


Speaking of.
It's not over.

"...Yeah, Lapis can fly, so she might be able to catch it." She turns towards Lapis without opening her eyes. "You should go now, and make sure you bring it here. And any others if there's more than just the one."

"...Actually, my fox probably was following us around," she adds. The witch moves farther and farther away from the door, and starts to lower the ones she's holding onto the ground. Starting with the ones held by her hair, actually, because man is her hair starting to get tired from that. "I could just have him bring it ---"

Awen cuts off, because she's too busy magically telling her fox what she needs to do.
And she gets frustrated at her fox, and breathes out, trying to stop letting her fox get to her.



meanwhile
Speaking of her fox!
It's...
It wasn't exactly following her, but it was kind-of following her.
Ended up outside, going into hiding and napping while they brought the cat into Eun's lab.
The fox yawns.
Stretches.
Considers catching the escaped cognimorphs and mercilessly teasing Awen for doing something so stupid.
Starts prowling, looking first for where the squirrel went.
