Freeloading is a bonding activity

[runs]

Ryoji's place has become busy lately, since both Casper and Kitty drop by regularly. Usually they aren't around at the same time at least, and thus Kitty doesn't expect anyone to be around when she wakes up from a nap and raises her head, a ruffled mop of hair surfacing from under a pile of blankets and pillows that looked nothing like a child was sleeping under it.

For the moment, "surfacing" is saying a bit too much. Right now, there is only a pair of (as far as Casper can see) dark eyes peering out from the pile of blankets, observing the activity in Ryoji's bedroom.

Good point.

"...Could you go to one of those doctors who just talk and omit the parts that were supernatural?" She's not sure how they work, but if it's just talking weird blood shouldn't be a problem, right?

"... Maybe? I don't know, a lot of it's all caught up in everything and how am I going to explain 'yes, I was at the bottom of the ocean and a guy who looked like a crab tried to rape me and -'"

He stops himself, shaking. He's never said that word out loud before, not in reference to himself.

She'd have said to omit the parts that wouldn't work with a regular person's experiences, but that sounds like there is a lot that just cannot be omitted without important parts lacking.

Maybe there is a way to find a doctor who knows that the supernatural exists and who will treat someone not of their own species... But how should she find such a person? She'll think on it later. For now it looks like Casper needs more hugs, if he will accept them, so she moves back over to wrap her arms around him if he doesn't pull away.

He shakes his head at himself and just hugs her tightly, trying to breathe. "... I'm here. I'm safe. Right?" Or as safe as they can be, for the moment.

She'll hug him back. "You are."

Ryoji's place is perhaps the safest spot that she's been to since coming to Hex, and there being two of them they could defend themselves more easily should something happen than if there was just one.

Three? Do Bob or Casper's weird possession thing count?
