Second Floor Common Room; Saturday Morning [01/29].

A letter had arrived from Libby's grandma, with a little note and a little spending money, pointing it out that it wasn't much, but it was more than what she was used to making do with. And while it would have seemed wise to save it, Libby missed making big meals with her mom so much that she headed to the store, picked up what she needed, and then headed back to the common room to start putting together a nice breakfast casserole.

And if anyone woke up and wanted to have some with her, all the better, but if not, she already had some Tupperware ready to go to go and a list of people she planned on distributing the leftover to.

[[ work is suspiciously slow right now and I know i shouldn't trust it, but i'mma post anyway! Open common room is open for all your common room and breakfast needs! ]]

It probably wouldn't help much to stare, but that was all Sakaki could do, once Camden walked in with Juillenne, because it was one thing to be mauled by cute kittens and housecats, but this...

To say she started to sweat a little and wonder if she could safely slip past through the door was an understatement, anyway.

And Camden couldn't help but notice that this particular human seemed a little... well, nervous.

Which meant, naturally, that she just had to oh-so-casually flex one of her paws so that her claws were visible for just a second.

(Not that she'd actually ever attack someone as harmless as this girl appeared to be, but that didn't mean she wasn't above a little teasing.)

And Sakaki swallowed down the large lump that had suddenly appeared in the throat.

But the flutter in her chest that seemed to come along with it was far less fear and much more about how even the biggest cat paws were unbearable cute. In a way, the fact that even a giant feline had such adorable toebeans was almost too much to handle, and her eyes closed against a wave of suppressed squeeing inside over the thought of this big old cat playing around like a little kitten and...and....

OHGOD, they didn't deserve cats! If it weren't for the fact that she would probably be straight-up MURDERED by a cat like this, she would pet its big old head and scritch behind those perfect big ears so. Much!

All things considered, she might even be safer around a cat like Camden, because, propensity to tease or not, Camden was also in possession of enough self-control that she wouldn't just attack blindly the way a housecat would.

"Cam," Jules sighed, poking her in the side. "Be nice."

Sakaki did seem to have much better luck with cats that were in the dorms than anywhere else in the world, really.

Of course, that was because her other experience with a cat in the dorms had been a student turned into a cat, but she still didn't know that.

The other girl's words, though, had Sakaki opening her eyes again and, after fighting off another swoon at wondering if Camden's fur was as soft as it looked, she asked, "Is that her name? Cam?"
legionqueen: (smiling)

[personal profile] legionqueen 2022-01-29 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Camden's fur was in fact so soft, Sakaki.

"Camden, technically," Jules said with a nod. "But she doesn't mind the nickname."
kawaii_complex: (cat ears blushing)

Oh, nooooo....

"Oh," said Sakaki, blinking at the cat as if she wasn't sure how to process this new information. "I see..."

And then she could only stare, as she tried to decide whether it would be the worst idea ever to ask any follow-up questions.

Well...but she was getting very good at treating her wounds by now, but that could potentially be...quite a bit more than her usual cat scratches and bite marks...

And never once would she say it hadn't been worth it...
legionqueen: (i'm listening)

[personal profile] legionqueen 2022-01-29 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Was there... something else?" Jules wondered, because Sakaki looked like maybe there was something more she wanted to say.

Cam, meanwhile, had apparently had enough of teasing and was just going to curl up all cozy-like on the floor, thank you.
kawaii_complex: (clinging)

There usually was something more that Sakaki wanted to say, that she was too shy or embarrassed or afraid to actually speak. But when Jules asked her, she almost went ahead and asked, going so far as to open her mouth and lift a hand...

And then Camden moved and curled up like that and she was suddenly struck with the absolute inability to speak, but she...she was all...cozy...and curled up...just like a smaller cat would, only so big! And imagine a big cat like that just curling up in that way in your lap! You'd be absolutely crushed, but maybe if she just rested her head in your lap...and you could pet her, and she would...

Did big cats like that purr?

Sakaki lowered her hand, closing her mouth as she gulped down another lump in her throat as she really, really hoped it wasn't obvious that there were tears welling up in her eyes at the thought of this big cat purring.

It was just...it was all just so much!
