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.]
