purrrnicious | Heart Game: Run #3

Good call.

You’ll have to show me to climb as well as you, otherwise I’m going to need my mech to get to the top.

[ she’s going to keep decorating it until their amazing castle fortress is complete! ]

Ready to head inside?

There’s an inside?

Of course.

[ she brings a fresh piece of paper in front of them and starts drawing something like their hideout but on a much bigger scale. she doodles a bike they could ride together, some fish and bacon they could eat, some things to climb, some places to nap, she tries to think of a little bit of everything. ]

We can’t forget us. What should we be doing? What’s your favorite thing?

Me? I don’t think I have a favourite thing.

How about something you’ve always wanted to do?

[Looking a little unsure, she just. Draws herself and D.Va together, smiling.

She just wants to be with her people okay that's literally all.]

[ that's fine. ]

Now that's what I call perfect.

Okay.

[She tips her head to the side, studying them a moment, and then curls her tail around herself and returns her attention to D.Va.]

Can I keep them?

I'd like that.

I thought we could make a little display of stuff we made together.

[ and she's got, like, one other thing she could show her... thanks to hurricane! she'll make her an origami dragon. ]

Rawr~

[She laughs, delighted. It definitely didn't occur to her you could fold things out of paper –– she reaches to take it into her hands, holding it overly delicately.]

I'm glad you like it.

[ ruffles her hair. ]

Here, let me make one more. They can represent you and me.

[ starts folding another one. ]

[She picks up another piece of paper and tries to follow along.]

[ she'll go slow and explain each step. this is kind of hard and it had taken her a bit to learn, but hurricane had been patient with her, so she had managed to do it. she'll be just as patient with kohime/catra, and because she's a smart little cookie, she's bound to get it too. ]

[She does, those hers is a little sloppy and not quite right. But it's her first one, and she is a child.]

In no time at all we'll have a family of these little guys!

[ she gives her a smile though it fades after a moment, because she considers asking about the stuff she took again. but then what kohime told her echoes in her head, that she might not like the result. ]

[ maybe. maybe finding out the answer is a bad idea. ]

[ she lets her gaze drop to the ground as she frowns, because that makes it seem like she fucked up and, well, she probably absolutely did. she stole stuff, attempted kidnapping, did a murder, ... ]

[She seems to notice the sudden change in mood, placing her hand on D.Va's arm.]

. . .What's wrong?

I need your help.

I think I might have... messed things up...

Okay. . .

[She adjusts until she's in a cat-like crouch, curling her tail around herself and watching D.Va.]

Do you know about Kohime?

[She nods.]

I do.

...then you know she means a lot to me. [ she looks aside, hesitating. ] I talked to her before coming down here, because of the stuff in a locker I found, it was labeled with my name. She said something I... I don’t quite get, and now I’m... [ scared and nervous. ]

[ she motions to the stuff she had set aside. ] I’m not going to like the result...

The result of what?
What did I do?

[She looks at it a moment, a small frown on her face as she tries to work through how to explain.]

Well. . . all of this place is "Kohime". Pieces of her. So if you take something from her, then she won't have it.

You understand?

...

[ she visibly pales. ]

I... I understand.

[ getting to her feet she staggers, but she stubbornly makes her way to the things she’d taken. ] They’re not mine to take.

[She just watches her without commenting. This particular aspect of the heart isn't really capable of moralizing about the right and wrong of making changes through heart games.]

I need to go fix this...

[ she sets a hand over her heart and turns in the direction she came. ]

But I can come back if you like.
I just... have to do this...
