[SURPRISE, HET CATRA IS HERE TO RUIN YOUR DAY--]

[j/k, she is stalking him in the cafeteria, watching him order SO MUCH FOOD, and then observing as he sits down and splits the food into two distinct meals]

[. . .]

[well, okay]

Hey there, Snowy.

[casually taking a seat across from him, legs crossed and elbow resting against the table as she steals a tiny piece of chicken]

Miss me, much?

[chevaliered]

[ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—- ]

Deeply, and truly Kitkatra. You done with the stalking now, then?

[ she can have all the chicken she wants, it’s her portion of the meal. ]

[supercatty]

[tail flick]

For now.

[she takes a moment to munch on a piece of chicken]

Hey-- do one of those tasks with me.

[SO DEMANDING]

[chevaliered]

Uh huh.

[ well, crow's on the fries and no one can stop him. apart from the part where he stops and glances up at catra for a moment. ]

Why, you looking to get yourself on that Dean's List?

[supercatty]

[flat stare]

No. I don't even know what that is.

I just want more vouchers.

[she wants a TANK]

[and also maybe that wish at the end]

[chevaliered]

[ c'mon ]

Those pictures? That appeared pretty much overnight? [ caTRA ]

But sure. Only if we can double up so I can get my vouchers. We've all got something we want to try and get our hands on, right?

[supercatty]

I saw those. Still don't know what they mean.

[nts: pester Taichi. also, she groans a bit]

Fine. Give something to get something. Tell me what your hopes for the future are.

[chevaliered]

Either something great or something terrible, I guess.

[ taichiiii. ]

...

Okay, literally any one but that one Kitkat.

[supercatty]

[raises a brow]

Why not? Seems like the easiest one to answer.

[she isn't asking him to get SAPPY on her, here]

[chevaliered]

Personal reasons. Any other one'll do.

[ he's not budging. ]

[supercatty]

[taps her claws against the table, then shrugs. she isn't married to any of the options, soooo. . .]

Sure. Tell me about the people you care about, then.

[chevaliered]

[ give him a moment while he restarts his brain upon realising he actually has a lot of options to choose from? ]

Uhh. Sure? Guess my gramps would be a good place to start?

[ ... ]

He was a good man. Mayor of my home, actually. He cared a lot about the people there, and wanted to do good by them. But he wasn't a total stick in the mud? He liked a good drink, and enjoyed stuff like card games, sleight of hand tricks, that kind of thing. He taught me a lot.

[supercatty]

[oh no, this is where Catra is going to reveal just how sad her upbringing was, becauuuuuse]

"Gramps?" Was that his name? Your "Gramps?"

[chevaliered]

My Grandpa. His name wasn't literally "gramps".

[ al, please god don't make me trawl wikis for crow's grandpa's name that might not even exist ]

[supercatty]

[IT'S OKAY I'M GOING TO SAVE YOU BY HAVING HER ASK ANOTHER QUESTION]

. . . what's a grandpa?

[ha ha. ha!]

[chevaliered]

[ ....................... ]

Oh boy, kitkat.

A grandpa. It's like... my parent's parent. Grandpa's male, grandma's female.

[supercatty]

[okay, that's all well and dandy, buuuut]

That explains nothing. What's a parent?

[chevaliered]

[ .....



........................... ]

Thhhhhhe people who birthed you? Normally there's an asterisk like "and raised you" but the "and raised" part is subjective. Sometimes they can't, sometimes they don't, sometimes it's a bit of both.

[supercatty]

Oh.

[okay, well that concept she gets]

I don't know who birthed me. And the person who raised me is-- [. . .]

[she bristles, hair standing on end, ears flattening again]

Whatever. I don't care about her.

[chevaliered]

... Yeah, sometimes people just suck, no matter how they're related to you.

[ he'd press but uh... that topic dismissal was so fast he has whiplash. ]

But that's pretty much the run down. Gramps was my grandpa. He was a good man.

[supercatty]

[lmao yeah, she's not talking about the can of worms that is Shadow Weaver]

Sounds like it. You're-- lucky, to have a guy like that in your life.

[chevaliered]

Yeah. I was really lucky. There are far worse parental figures out there in the world. Met of few of them in the past couple of years too.

[supercatty]

[lol. if Shadow Weaver really is a parent figure. . .]

[. . . ANYWAY]

Yeah? I hope they got what was coming to them.

[chevaliered]

A couple of them did. Jury's out on the last one.

'Course things turned out to be complicated and an aidios-damned half there too.

[supercatty]

[. . . aidios???]

You keep using words that mean absolutely nothing to me.

[BUT. ANYWAY]

Sounds like the lives of the people you know are super complicated. Sucks to be them, right?
