This is Evangeline! Sorry, I'm a little busy right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

[She'll definitely bump whatever's in there a little bit, but whatever it is, it's soft and fuzzy and warm - and also immediately starts pawing at her arm to try and climb her EGO suit's sleeve.
Y'know, as you do.

If she pulls it out, though... she'll find a sweet little orange tabby kitten in her hand, clinging onto her like she's the best cat tree it has ever seen in its little tiny life.

And Chipp, of course, looks thrilled. ... As thrilled as he CAN look, anyway, but like. Thrilled nonetheless!!]

... Well?

[abnormalizes]

[Pull it out she does-]

It's so cute...! It's the most precious thing I've ever seen.

[She will protect it with her life now.]

[fauxbot]

Ouais, right...!? 'S what I thought! 'N look - looks like he already likes ya, too!

[Considering the little kitten's trying to climb her like a tower, of course.
And he's gonna go ahead and plunk his helmet back on!]

So... you wanna keep him then? ... I ain't gonna make ya keep him if you don't wanna, 'course - guy who sold'im to me knows that there a chance I might bring'im back.
But, y'know...

[abnormalizes]

[She'll let him climb anywhere he wants - the flower is indestructible, thankfully - but-]

-Is it really okay? I've got a busy schedule, what if I'm not able to give him enough attention? What if I'm a bad pet owner?

[fauxbot]

[Good! Because lawd, he climbin' - prepare to be perched upon, Evangeline.]

Mais yeah, 'course it's okay...! ... What makes ya think you'd be bad at it?

[abnormalizes]

I don't know? -But another living being is a lot to be responsible for. I have Mizu and Frills, but they can take care of their own needs to some extent, what if he relies on me and I fail him?

[What if she fucks it up and loses him?]

[fauxbot]

... 'S why I'm here.

[Evangeline, he's not making you take care of the cat alone?? It's even said with the eye on his screen scrunching up, almost like he's pouting.]

I doubt you gonna fail him, 's hard to fail a pet without tryin' to hurt'em. But y'know... even if somethin' happens, I'm here, ain't I?

[abnormalizes]

-That's true. I don't have to do it alone. That helps.

...You really think it'll be okay?

[fauxbot]

'Course I do! I mean, hun... he a cat. Cats're real good at carin' for themselves -
He'll still need us, but it ain't gonna be like we gotta baby him, y'know? Plus we got our other critters runnin' 'round!
Even if I ain't here, Clem is. Clem's a good boy, he knows how to take care o' shit.

[Said with a very sagely nod, as if Clem isn't a giant flaming ghost alligator.]

[abnormalizes]

Okay. ...Okay, that makes sense. It'll be fine.

[But she still reaches to take Chipp's hand and squeeze it for reassurance.]

[fauxbot]

Mm. It'll be fine.

[That hand's taken and squeezed right back. ... And he'll even lift it to press against his screen, like he's giving it a kiss.]

... Promise ya.

[abnormalizes]

I trust you.

Thank you, Chipp. I love him. -You're so cute, little guy, did you know that?

[That last one she says with her indigo magic, because yes she absolutely will talk to her pet directly.]
