[That... that does sound like Catra. It'd be a lie to say that Adora's not disappointed, but she also gets it. It sounds like Catra, and therefore it's not Catra fronting or getting herself into deeper trouble because she thinks she knows better.

It makes sense.

... ... ...

Adora reaches out to put her hands on Catra's shoulders.]

You know that I won't let them hurt you, right? No matter what happens.

[...]

But I get it. I want you to stay safe, so... it makes sense to wait and make sure it's safe.

[. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ?!?!?!?!]

[supercatty]

[why does she DO THIS who LET ADORA DO THIS who let her BE LIKE THIS AAAAH]

[shoves a hand in Adora's face, her lips curving upwards into one of her patented smirks]

God, you should see the look on your face! You're such a doofus.

[superjock]

[okay, okay... she's shoved off a bit and she lets her hands drop, even as she rolls her eyes.]

Look who's talking... your tail was all poofed up on the roof until you saw me.

[she didn't actually See, she's just assuming.]

[supercatty]

Wh-- it was not! It just does that sometimes, it's no big deal. You know how it is!

[AFFRONTED?? but playfully so! she seems to be relaxing a bit now, even though everything about this situation is FREAKING HER OUT. slightly]

[. . . it helps, to have someone familiar-- to have that familiar person be Adora-- with her through it all]

[superjock]

[Adora just laugh-snorts at that, and relaxes to see Catra relaxing.

They still haven't found Glimmer and Bow yet, but... they're around here somewhere, she's sure. They've got this.]

Alright, alright. We should start with looking for Glimmer and Bow. You'll stay here until it's safe to move to the Winter dorm. Anything else?

[supercatty]

[okay, okay. . . brief lighthearted reprieve over, because there is one more thing Catra thinks they need to talk about]

[she didn't argue against Adora insisting that they couldn't just leave this whole dorm wars thing behind while everyone else stayed and fought, but. . .]

Yeah. Just one thing.

[. . .]

[her ears flick backwards, then forwards again]

Whatever happens, don't do anything stupid.

[superjock]

[... Wow!!]

I wasn't gonna! I'm not going to do anything stupid.

[She... will probably immediately do something stupid.]

[supercatty]

[JUST]

[STARES AT HER]

[LIKE]

[SHE KNOWS YOU, ADORA]

[superjock]

[RAISES BOTH HANDS.

JEEZE!!]

I mean it! I'm not going to go out of my way to get into trouble or anything!

But... I'm not going to just stand by when people are in trouble, either.

[supercatty]

[bristles slightly, before calming herself down, because. . . yeah. Adora and her stupid big dumb hero schtick]

Well, if you are about to do something stupid because you can't stand not being a hero, at least find me first, okay?

[maybe she can, you know. . . make sure Adora is not THAT stupid?? possibly??]

[superjock]

[Adora's first response: wow i don't need a babysitter!!

adora's second response:]

... You're worried about me.

[supercatty]

[yes]

[BUT CATRA'S RESPONSE IS--]

I am not. Sparkles and Arrow Guy would just kill me if I let anything happen to you, obviously.

[superjock]

Heh.

[JUST.

HEH.]

Whatever you say. Anyway, I'll try to find you first, so... stay close, okay?

[supercatty]

[SHUT UPPPPPP]

[but she settles again and nods at that, chin lifted and shoulders squared]

Yeah. Okay.

[. . .]

[bumps her shoulder against Adora's]

[superjock]

[Adora smiles at that, though she tries to keep it from being too wide.

Catra will just tsun.]

... Anyway, this is where you're staying for now then. Wanna show me around?

[supercatty]

[YEAH SHE'LL TSUN A LOT AND IT'LL BE VERY CUTE but thank u for sparing her, Adora]

[she smiles a little, less of a smirk and more genuine!!]

Who said anything about actually staying here? But sure, I can give you the laziest grand tour of all, if you want.

[superjock]

[cute.... Catra's cute... Adora hums and nods and follows with a faintly amused look on her face.]

But even if you're not gonna stay here, you've already mapped it out, right? So yeah, give me the tour.

[supercatty]

It's not like there's much to map out.

[anyway, they're in the common room! which looks like this:]

[The common room is as bright and open as the rest of the dorm. Beanbag chairs and even more hammocks are situated around for any of your resting needs, because who needs couches? There are a few blankets on the couch just for comfort, but the temperature is never cold enough to need them because of chill. There's also an absurd amount of pillows]

[The walls are decorated with paintings that are either modern art pieces or done by kindergarteners. There are also photographs tacked onto the walls as well, of seemingly random things like a vase of flowers, a mailbox, a bird on a tree branch. The photos are less about grand views and feels more like someone testing out a camera]

This is. . . I don't know. The pillow room. There are way too many pillows in here.

[superjock]

[..... it's so bright.

There are so many pillows.

Holy crap.]

Oh. Wow. No kidding. This is... this is more pillows than I have ever seen in one place before.

[supercatty]

Right? You only need one to sleep. Any more is just way too excessive.

[superjock]

[NODS A LOT.

That Horde aesthetic life.

anyway... she peers at the pictures.]

This place looks seriously different from where I'm staying. It's weird.

[supercatty]

[tail flick]

Oh yeah? How so?

[superjock]

Winter's very... fancy. That's the best way I can think of to describe it. Honestly, it makes me nervous.

[Adora is absolutely going to knock off one of those expensive vases at some point a la Ouran.]

[supercatty]

[Catra would knock one off on purpose. unsurprisingly]

Does it have a bunch of breakable stuff in it?
