This doesn't fit Kanda at all but I saw it while I was scrolling and I had to

[Oh--well, Caelus is being a little snarky on purpose, but rather than the usual response of vague disgruntlement or even rude smugness, the emotions his words evoke are heavy: a tangled mess of discomfort and unhappiness. The mention of an escape route fills him with a conflicted sort of unease--not that he would convey that even if he wasn't. Y'know. A cat.

He frees his claws from the bark and wobbles a little as he curls up in a ball, face hidden but tail still flicking back and forth.]

[ well, that wasn't what he expected. at worst, he was ready for more hissing. ]

... Except you know I'd come tell you in person.

[There's no change to his emotions, though he does meow in a way that manages to sound annoyed.]

Got it.

[ caelus' own emotions are starting to boil but he tamps it down. kanda never agreed to get along with him, cat or not. ]

You're having a rough day. [ surely that creature will protect kanda from the monster hawks. another minute of messing with the cheapo phone and caelus commits to standing again. dusts off the back of his jacket with a hand. ]

I'm sending a letter to Lavi Wednesday. I'm going to see if I can get it to arrive on the same day. If you want me to pass anything along, come find me before then.

[Ironically, it's not really anything on Caelus's end that has him feeling so uneasy and conflicted, but he has no good way of expressing that right now--not that he'd bother to clarify even if he could talk, so maybe it's a moot point.

There's another conflicted burst of emotion, different from the last; this one is mostly weariness, with a mild undercurrent of annoyance and an even fainter thread of guilt. He makes a noise, but this one is kind of impossible to interpret.]

[ caelus is only good with cats that also happen to be part cushion or trashcan. and even then, they're so moody. ]

It's going to be okay.

[ that's all he's got. ]

I'm going to take a walk around.

[ 'everyone pair up if you're exploring' no. ]

Maybe stay in the tree until you're back to normal.

[Kanda should be a cushion cat. He'd fit right in between Bladecat and Nyan Heng.

But he lets Caelus go for now... at least when he turns back he'll show up to town hall, and stick around until Aventurine starts talking about getting back to the other side. It's fine. Don't worry about it.]
