re: zodion app progress, sobs.

... Alright. But if you want my opinion, I think you're going to break something before you manage to finish that app when submissions close on your birthday. I'd like to say a leg from trying so hard, and yet ... No, no, keep it up, kid! I'm just saying, you'd better take a few spots of advice from Cheetara if speed is of the essence here because this is like watching Lion-O try and keep up with me. Just isn't happening like this, is it? Buckle down, come on.

You'd better be careful, mundane, or I'll out-strip you too.

I've got clothes.

[sinews]

My point is that you look like you need more.

[testifies]

No, man. Hairless is the way to go. I'm from Houston - if I were as fuzzy as you I'd die.

[sinews]

I'm not fuzzy, you make me sound like a rug.

[ Offers his hand, the finest tangerine-cream hairs covering each finger. If anything, he feels like cool silk. ]

Try it, go on. Find out for yourself.

[An eyebrow raises behind darkened glasses. Caution is etched into every fiber of Dirk's being, but he resigns to stretching his arm out to trace over each finger. Soft, he concludes with a twitch at either corner of his mouth. ]

Nice grooming.

[sinews]

[ Rubbing his fingers against his hip to stave off any tingling, he shrugs. ]

Not the point, but at least you took something away from it.

[testifies]

Do you get fluffy though? When you're angry, I mean.

[sinews]

You wouldn't want to find out.

[testifies]

I've taken on worse than you. Bigger, too.

[sinews]

Good for you, but you're right. They weren't me.

[testifies]

Huh.

[A smirk. ]

You think you're unbeatable?

[sinews]

I know I can last longer that a kitten as fluffy as you.

[ Have a paw patting you on the head, Dirk. RUINING YER HAIR. ]

[testifies]

[Wow, you motherfucker. Dirk grabs the offending wrist and hauls it away, frowning. ]

Bullshit. Don't touch the hair.

[sinews]

[ Not before a flick of a claw is given to his forehead, laughter rumbling. ]

Proud, aren't you?

[testifies]

Moderately vain.

[He releases the wrist, eyebrows furrowed behind darkened glasses. ]

And proud.

[sinews]

[ HAHFUCKINCUTE. Chuckling, he gives Dirk a pacifying look. ]

So are tigers.

[testifies]

I don't chuff.

[Indignant!! Subtly, though. ]

[sinews]

Neither do I on a daily basis.

[testifies]

Remains to be seen. So - you're like what? A cat soldier?

[sinews]

Military tactician to the former king, my father. I'm still a cat, yes, unless something changed since we started speaking.

[testifies]

Oh. Sweet.

I'm a tactician too. Informally.

[sinews]

Mm, it would hard to join any kind of military with your home underwater. Who do you help out then?

[testifies]

My friends. It's - complicated. Un-officially I'm in charge of making sure we get things done right.

[sinews]

I'm sure they have every confidence in you.

[testifies]

I try to live up to it. You have friends, right? Gotta do anything to keep them safe.
