[well, she's here, she's like, kind of healed. she's clean! she probably smells pretty good now and not like ichibits and fermented applesauce. she has a leg that is metal and it attaches to like... a port? there's a port where her real leg ends, and she has plugged in the metal leg to that port. yarr.

the body changes are minimal right now, but she does, in fact, have snake eyes. sorry.

oh and also she keeps scratching her arm violently. it's kind of red.]

[inquired]

[ :nyeh:

something fluffy drapes across her arm where she's scratching. the person attached to it is looking very pointedly the other direction. ]

[naeddre]

[GASP. furry.

she stops scratching, and hesitantly puts her hand... on the tail. pets...]

[inquired]

[ it's so fluffy. ochette beastling fluffy fox tail, white and gray.

the tail flicks slightly into her hand but does not move otherwise. he's leaving it on her other arm. noooo scratching but also don't perceieve. ]

[naeddre]

[pets the tail. her whole night is made, actually. this makes up for missing arthur turning into a cat]

[inquired]

[ if i get an animal curse i'll curse arthur just for you

one ear swivels back like he's paying attention to it, but otherwise. throné can pet the tail as much as she wants. ]

[naeddre]

[my hero

she eventually just leans over to rest her head on his shoulder again.]

[expiries]

[ET TU]

[tombtaker]

[ honestly the leg is great? can he be nosy and look at it. ]

[naeddre]

[yea sure, she lets him do whatever he wants with it. it probably looks pretty fucking sick? like this but without the heel. just a regular foot.]

[tombtaker]

[ it does look sick. he will gently touch it (somewhere like. below her knee he's not trying to be a creep here) to feel the metal before removing his hand. ]

Interesting device. Turned you half-Aeormaton.

[naeddre]

[she startles just slightly when he does because she's not expecting to be able to feel it, but she can.]

A... what?

[tombtaker]

Aeormaton. Mechanical man.

[ oh, he wasn't expecting her to be able to feel it either - so he raises his eyebrows. ]

[dropoffs]

[ Well, someone is here and albeit a bit breathless from wherever they were coming from before? But it's fine. There's a clear sound of concern and worry through the helmet's autotune as they approach her, just a bit fidgety. ]

Lady Throné.

[ Noooo, who allowed this to happen to heerr. 😭 ]

[naeddre]

[AW BUDDY!!

she looks up at them, and her expression softens a little.]

... Sorry, I didn't mean to worry you.

[dropoffs]

I would worry over you nevertheless, my friend.

[ From beneath their hood, she'll catch a glimpse of red eyes that show that concern even as they offer a small smile. ]

Faring better I hope?

[naeddre]

[she smiles back!]

I don't smell like week old apple cider, so... yes. [you know. it's fine. a beat. and she shows them her leg.] Almost matching.

[dropoffs]

Fortunate for that.

[ A light tease, but there is still an obvious worry as their voice grows softer. They glance to the leg before raising their right arm a little, a bit stiffly to do a small comparison. Almost! ]

Nearly there. [ ... ] ..If only we could have avoided such events coming to you and the others entirely. We dealt with a direct mission ourselves just to avoid that and still an anomaly occurred. [ Frowns. ]

[expiries]

...Did something happen to your arm?

[concern]

[naeddre]

... No. [but he can probably see the fact that it is turning into something distinctly brown, like a carapace, spiky and maybe a little roachlike, before temenos slaps his tail over the top of it.]

[expiries]

[ah...]

...I'm sure there are bandages here. If you'd like it to be covered.

[naeddre]

... It doesn't - it'll.

[hmmmmmmm holds her breath.]

[expiries]

[falls silent, waiting to see if she'll say anything else]

[dropoffs]

[ when they're not participating in their nanite blood ritual (no), adrastea will settle down

nearby, ish. like a cat.

they're not doing anything of particular interest, just texting the other officers on their I.R.I.S. with a phone-sized keyboard in both hands. but they're keeping watch over the group through the holoscreen as their six fox tails flick slowly.

that's all ]

[naeddre]

[adrastea is so funny this tsundere cat behavior

she glances over at them when they settle. she doesn't say anything, but she does smile just a little, briefly.]
