Cat-eared Shenanigans

[vrepit_no]

WHO: Shiro and whomever wants to be there
WHAT: Wildcard prompts
WHERE: Inn, Shining Karaoke, Parks, Fields
WHEN: The month of August
WARNINGS: Long-healed amputation, scars, unadulterated fluff probably


Shiro wound up in the fallout of the animal mage work and is sporting large, sleek black housecat ears and tail. He's taken too it more calmly and naturally than some, and seems to have... caught??? Some cat-like mannerisms too.

I. Naps are great, though
Shiro hasn't slept well in a while, and the magical coma last month doesn't count. So if there is a patch of sunlight, there may just be a large man in one of many seemingly impossible positions, dead asleep. His watchful little draconic familiar is settled primly nearby, watching over him for inscrutable Familiar Reasons.

II. Fishing
Where there are fish, there's a cat. Man. Cat man. Crouched low at the edge, ears low and tail tip twitching behind him, Shiro watches the water with dilated eyes. Waiting. Waiting. Are you going to let him make an attempt, or use this prime opportunity for pranking?

III. Shining Karaoke
Shiro does still turn up for his shifts at the karaoke bar, same as usual. He's acquired a nice maroon dress shirt, worn with the sleeve rolled up while he mixes drinks. His reflexes seem faster than usual right now, and the sway and curl of his tail shows just how truly this job brings him happiness. What can he get you this evening?

IV. You've Got Cats In High Places
You know what's even better than naps? Heights! Rooftops, walls, trees, the occasional lamp post... When a six-foot-four cat gets the zoomies, he inevitably seems to wind up perched somewhere high up, leaning waaaaay out to snuff the breeze. No balcony is safe.

V. Wild Horses Cats Couldn't Drag Me Away
None of these strike your fancy? No problem! Where there's a will, there's a prompt. Just post one, or reach out to me on plurk: librariansheart.

Shiro's head tilts to give Felih better access, his tail curving around to brush flirtatiously along Felih's. "He did, a little," he chuckles, low and warm. "I think we both showed off a bit. We both really enjoy dancing, so he taught me a few Miqo'te dances, and I taught him a few Earth ones. It was a lot of fun. Was that a him thing, or are you just as much of a dancer?" he asks, looking down through his lashes at this sweet alternate of his friend.

Felih's tail keeps quivering, now starting to fluff and popf up as Shiro's tail begins twining with his. He purrs louder, ears perking forward in keen interest.

"I love to dance. Have ever since I was a kit," he chirps, eyes shining. "If you don't mind teaching them again, I'd be happy to share some with you. Perhaps I can teach you some of the other myriad dances I've learned during my travels!"

[vrepit_no]

Shiro's own ears prick forward and a happy grin makes an appearance. "Really? I'd love that! Has anybody else here taught you any Earth dances, or are we starting with a fresh slate?"

[seasoflight]

"A fresh slate," Felih replies, his own ears twitching slightly as he leans forward, unable to resist the urge to nuzzle Shiro's nose with his own. It felt so easy to trade affection with him, a strange sense of familiarity in his heart despite the fact that Shiro is relatively new to him.

"So I'd be quite happy to learn anything you have to show me," he says, beaming. "I do adore dancing, and learning those of all the realms and peoples I come across is something I treasure."

Shiro's ears jolt straight up and beside them his sleek tail POOFS into something a squirrel would be proud of. Color flushes across his nose and cheekbones.

"Well, Earth has a lot more than I know, but..." his voice deepens a notch and his tail jitters in its fluff. "I'd be happy to give you some lessons sometime. There are three in particular, and one bonus I can think of at the moment: the waltz, foxtrot, and tango, for sure. I'll talk to some people and see if I can get music. Did you have a time or place in mind?"

Seeing Shiro's tail fluff up makes Felih laugh and purr louder, snuggling closer against the other man and enjoying the sensation of Shiro's broader build against his own lithe one, feeling oddly secure despite being so small next to the warrior.

"Then, it's settled. We'll trade dances," he chirps, his own tail aquiver with delight. Nothing thrills him more than learning new dances, and spending time dancing with others- especially handsome folk like Shiro. "I'm plenty flexible, darling, you just tell me where to be and when to be there, and I'll be all yours."
