@Whitestonerifle | I KNOW.
Imma DM you hold on

| I saw someone mention a Shadowgast kid and now I can't help but think about another kiddo.

"I'm okay," he said. "I'll--" A deep breath, a way to ground himself. "I'll be okay. I have ways to deal with this."

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

. . . No. If any kind of snuggles would happen, it'd be kitty Bren with Molly. If-- he were okay with that.

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

Oh, it was a standard way of being for him. This was ( nothing ) new.

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

He leaned into that touch ever so slightly.

"I-- don't know. It's weird. I keep expecting Ikithon to just pop up and call me somewhere-- but that's nothing new."

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

He chomped on the cookie, then curled up around himself. He was tired, he was sad, but he'd had a cookie.

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

She nodded. "Of course. That'd-- be nice, yeah." A small smile.

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

And he reached out for the cookie, picking it up for Molly. "Thank you."

any type of circus." It could be his first.

"I would have loved to see you at the circus, I'm sure."

Such privileges had been rare when he'd been growing up. There had been plenty of festivals, plenty of circuses in town while he'd been studying under Ikithon, but--

Not once had they actually been +

Seeing the other's curiosity he blinked, smile softening as he thought back to the time before the Mighty Nein.

Really, the only one who would know about his time with the circus would be Yasha, as she had been with him throughout it.

It wasn't as if any of it was a huge-

allowed to go. Every single time, Ikithon had found either an experiment, or any other reason, to keep them inside. Sure, the others had snuck out a few times, but he had been too insecure to ever do that.

"Maybe you could ... take me to a circus? Not yours, obviously, but-- +

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

A quiet sniffle.

"Thank you," he whispered ever so quietly.

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

Oh-- cookie. That smells delicious, if he was honest to himself.

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

@FallenReign_ | Yes bc he'll neeeed that (:

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

@FallenReign_ | Oh darling.
He doesn't have a Frumpkin, but he can change into a cat himself due to experiments with darkvision and stuff. So when he gets overwhelmed, he just ... cat.

[𝐀 reformed 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 @VolstruckerBren]

Bren hadn't been around during the circus days, so as that was mentioned, he tilted his head somewhat, curiosity written all over his face.

He didn't seem to have a reaction to Molly's posture as much as his words. "Tell me about it?" It was a genuine little question +

Hearing Bren speak up, the Tiefling shifted to lay on his side. One hand was used to prop his head up, the other arm draped over his side in very much a 'paint me like one of your Nicodranas girls' pose.
