She blinks. "That was not on the list."

[aeskhyne]

"I haven't done it in a while, too busy being a pigeon, so I forgot. But not doing it because I'm too busy being a pigeon and not doing it on purpose are kind of different."

[megale]

"I guess. Do you even know you don't have anything now?"

[aeskhyne]

"...Not for sure, and I can't go to the doctor because in hiding and also pooka. So." He shrugs.

[megale]

"Oh, yeah, I guess that's a thing, isn't it."

[aeskhyne]

"Yep."

[megale]

"Oh well, in health class we did this entirely embarrassing section about, like, Alternatives."

[aeskhyne]

Trouble giggles. "Oooh, alternatives," he says, hugging her.

[megale]

Snuggles! Are those an alternative or their own thing? They are nice, anyway.

[aeskhyne]

Snuggles are awesome.

[megale]

So awesome! Kisses are also awesome.

[aeskhyne]

They are. They are that. Mmmmmm.

[megale]

Rhea is totally digging the romanced-by-a-paranormal-young-adult thing.

[aeskhyne]

Awesome. Because the paranormal young adult in question is totally digging Rhea.

[megale]

Snuggles. Does he like tummy rubs when he is not a cat?

[aeskhyne]

He does! Some tummy rubs give him happy snuggly feelings which he transmutes into happy snuggly faces and happy snuggly sounds.



Some tummy rubs, on the other hand, make him giggle helplessly.

[megale]

"Ticklish pooka."

[aeskhyne]

"Yep!" he says, still giggling, and he snuggles up and gives her a giggly kiss.

[megale]

Tickles. Less accidental tickles.

[aeskhyne]

Giggles! So many giggles.

[megale]

And kisses. Giggly kisses.

[aeskhyne]

Very giggly. Very kisses.

"I love you," he says breathlessly.

[megale]

"Best pooka."

[aeskhyne]

Giggly hug! Squish.

[megale]

Squishy hugs.
