018 ~ [Action]

[soreplaceable]

[The Malnosso weren't known for their kindness, and perhaps that's why Ion was returned to the village so far from House One. He was tired and all he wanted to do was curl up somewhere and sleep... which was something he was now very capable of doing seeing as he's been transformed into a soadoptable. Those little paws of his can only walk so fast, but he manages to make it halfway to House One from the plaza before he has to stop and rest. Finding a nice soft spot of grass to lay in, he curls up and sighs, hoping he doesn't fall asleep before he can make it back home...]

[Of course, assuming he does make it back to House One safe and sound, those living there can expect to hear tiny scratches and meowing at the door... and possibly a few windows if no one hears him.]


[[ooc: ION IS NOW A KITTEN. But he won't be forever! "Green" will turn him back to normal though with a pair of cat ears and a tail because I can, but saying "Ion" will make him go right back to being a kitten. And it won't quite be an instant transformation either, so figuring out what made him change should prove to be a bit difficult. He still has a tiny pair of green wings too, but the longer his identity stays a secret, the more fun it'll be. :'D]]

[[Oh, and feel free to break time and space and try to take him home! |D]]

[Oh, Ion likes that one! He'd been reading it before he was kidnapped... though he should probably reread it now, seeing as he's been gone for a month and the story isn't exactly fresh in his mind. Where did he leave off last, anyway...? He can't recall.]

[Eh, it's not important. He meows and curls up on the bed to listen, though Anise is more than free to scoop him back up and hold him in her lap and she wants. It would just seem too forward to do so himself.]

Mmm? Oh hey, there's a bookmark! [She does want to keep stroking Ion, since his fur is so warm and soft and she feels more confident that he's back when she can actually touch him, but actually picking him up like that might be overstepping her bounds.]

I'll just start reading from this page then, okay? [She kind of wants to start from the beginning so she could follow along with the plot, but she's doing this for Ion, after all. She clears her throat and begins to read, stumbling over words every once in awhile.]

"Your courage has always moved me," said Dena, smiling as Ser Aldwin took her hand and led her to a more private place. "I'm glad to see you are as fearless here as you are in everything else."

[Perhaps it's a reflection of his true age, but even after reading quite a few romance novels (they were always scattered throughout the Historical Fiction section...) he has no idea what this scene is leading up to.]

[So he'll just go ahead and start to purr. This is nice...]

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

[At the sound of Ion's purring, Anise absent-mindedly reaches out to start stroking him again. She could get used to this...]

"Are you certain you want this?" The noble Ser Aldwin inquired, honourable even here, in the this hardest of battles: one against his own desire. He did not wish to hurt the young maiden.

The only response Dena gave was a smile, even as a blush painted her cheeks light red. She took Aldwin's battle-roughened hands into her own smooth, milk-white ones, placing them on her small baubles.

[Oh hey, she's trusting him with her treasure! That's pretty romantic. Maybe she'll have to borrow this book from Ion...]

[soadoptable.livejournal.com]

[Normally he might have thought this was a little awkward, but... somehow, when it's Anise, it's all right. He nuzzles against her hand a little when she goes to pet him again, not entirely listening to what she's saying, but instead just listening to her voice. He missed this... just getting to spend time with Anise when nothing is going on.]

[Well, okay, it's still a little awkward since he's a cat, but... well, they were both here and they were together and that was all that really mattered right now.]

KEYWORDS VERY RELEVANT

[Anise kept reading. The sound of her voice in the otherwise quiet house comforts her, just a bit.]

His hands gentle caressed her curves, fingers brushing over the peak of her womanly mounds. Throwing caution to the wind, he bequethed her of her dressing gown. She gasped, shocked by his brazen intrusion upon her tender flesh.

[...Wait, what? Maybe she just has a dirty mind...No way Ion would be reading something like this, right?]

B)

[soadoptable.livejournal.com]

[Anise, you say that like you're reading him an article from playboy or something. Though he does notice a change in her voice for a moment or so, making him feel a bit more inclined to pay attention... he'd already read this page, hadn't he? Yes, he was on the last paragraph of this section before he stopped. She must have started from the top of the page...]

[...]

[Suddenly it's occurring to him just which book this was.]

Re: B)

Words poured from her lips as naught but a whisper, her bosom heaving against his solid chest as their bodies drew closer. "Please... don't tease me so selfishly."

The noble gave but a curt nod, his green eyes ablaze with passion, before she reached down and grabbed his--

[Okay. It's definitely not just her. She glances away from the book and towards the Nyan Master, blushing a bit.]

[distressedude]

[Ohhh, Anise, you aren't the only one. Ion freezes the moment Anise reads Dena's line, suddenly realizing which scene this was and whch direction this was going... on top of hearing Anise read it.]

[He might have been okay if he was a cat. A cat can't blush. A cat doesn't have to explain itself. But the universe isn't fair, and the moment Anise turns to stare at Ion, there's a poof of smoke and suddenly Ion isn't a cat anymore.]

[And he's also sitting close enough to where his face is only a few centimeters away from Anise's. And yes, he's also blushing.]



[Malnosso, why.]

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

[...]

[What.]

[Sorry, Anise is just...kind of staring at you right now, still blushing a bit. You're lucky that your sudden appearance surprised her so much that she forgot about what she just read.]

[Because, seriously, what.]

H-how come you're normal again?

[distressedude]

[Sorry Anise, it'll take him a moment to find his voice. This is just so... embarrassing! He's not even really sure why it is, but that's how he feels right now. Is it because it's Anise? It it because she was reading it to him? Is it all of the above and more?]

[Yes.]

I-I'm not sure. Perhaps the effects wore off somehow?

[Oh, and by the way, he still has a pair of dark green kitty ears on the top of his head, along with a matching tail.]

[Though given how close Ion is right now, that might not be the first thing she notices. That hand that had been petting him so aimlessly before was still wrapped around his back, after all.]

[pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com]

[Oh...Oh. ldsjdisa /// she had been so startled by seeing Ion suddenly appear back in his normal body again that she hadn't spared a thought for how close they were. Now that the initial shock had wore off...eeeeek. She should move away, but she didn't want to be rude. And besides, she really missed Ion...She does take her hand away though.]

I'm just glad you're back to normal! Let's hope you can stay this way!

[She tosses the book to the side, promising herself to never think of it again.]

[No...wait.]

Are those cat ears?

[distressedude]

[Ion notes that she doesn't pull away, but... well, he didn't really mind sitting this close to her usually, but he can feel his face is still warm after that book... he wasn't normally quite so fluster-able, but this was certainly an exception!]

Yes, I hope so as-- what?

[Oh. Oh, no. He slowly reaches up to the top of his head where there are, indeed, two very real cat ears nestled in with his hair. They even twitch a little when he touches them.]

...this must be another effect of the kidnapping...
