It'd be a lie to say that Adora wasn't at least a little panicked about Catra after everything--(she didn't want her out of her sight, she didn't want to lose her again)--but ultimately, she's sidetracked by everything that happens. The fire alarms, the odd alert, the sad crowd, the realization that someone is dead.
Adora immediately starts to look for Catra, starting by the Summer dorms, a slump to her shoulders.]
[honestly. . . the moment they were all freed into the wild with the fire alarm blaring in the air around them, Catra's first instinct had been to beeline to Winter to ensure that Adora was okay. but between all of the chaos, and the message, and everyone murmuring frantically between themselves, she is also running a little late]
-- Adora!
[hello friend, that's a familiar cat-like individual racing right towards you from the direction of Winter dorm, like she had already gone there to search for Adora, only to come up empty]
[Catra is actually beelining her way to Winter for MYSTERIOUS REASONS!! WONDER WHAT THEY ARE!! but she skids to a halt when she sees Adora leaving the gym instead. her expression slackens in surprise, before she calls out--]
[what a day, right?? what a debate tournament!! but there are no sore losers in this Winter dorm, and Catra is returning home that evening to stretch and flop onto the foot of Adora's bed]
And Adora is just. She's absolutely been sticking to Catra's side like a bur, and she's now sitting on the bed next to her. Nnnnnot sure what to do to be honest...]
[this is a very belated PC but Cal and I both want it so HERE WE GO]
[needless to say, after the execution Catra is. . . scarce. but since Adora knows Catra better than anywhere else, she'll know exactly where to find her kitty bff]
[which is to say, Catra has climbed her way to Winter's rooftop using the ladder (WHICH SHE SHOULD NOT BE DOING WITH A BROKEN ARM AND A BUM LEG, BTW) and is seated on the edge with her uninjured leg drawn to her torso and her chin resting against it]
[her eyes are a little puffy but she isn't actively crying at least]
[Adora feels...exhausted. Exhausted, worn, and so, so sad. But what can she do?
Catra comes first, and Catra's disappeared.
She has to find Catra.
She's not pleased when she does find her on the roof, but... one look at her face, and the scolding gets caught in her throat. Instead, she sits next to her, sighing softly.]
[for some?? reason?? Catra is wearing a dunce hat as she drags herself to the dorm common room, her limp still heavy and her arm still in a sling. she also shuffles a bit anxiously on her feet, like there's something important niggling at the back of her brain, itching and squirming and dying to be released--]
[when she spots Adora, she pops up quickly, ears perking forward]
[SO ANYWAY! AFTER THAT DATE AUCTION, Catra is stealing away from the crowds with Adora in tow, hands linked and fingers interlaced. she seems very pleased, and yes she is still wearing the heart leggings and Valentine's Gay crop top]
[she's taken Adora to the costume emporium!! surely no one will bother them here!!]

Did you read that "acceptance letter," or whatever it was?
no subject
Yeah, of course. But it's all just gotta be some big misunderstanding, right? I mean, we're not here for those dorm wars or whatever, so...
no subject
Even if we were, I don't want to fight in a war that isn't mine-- [. . .] That isn't ours.
[they both have enough war experience for a lifetime, okok]
But if we're not here for that, then what are we here for?

Adora's gotta talk to Catra about Some Stuff that went down that trial, and she knows it.
She just... she also kind of looks a little off-balance and tentative as she starts to walk away from the gym.
It's fine. Everything is fine.]

You ever notice how everyone here is so nosy?
no subject
Adora is definitely pleased, but also very thoughtful as she follows.
Hmmm...]
... Yeah. They sure are. But I think it's... just because they want us to be happy.
