[amethystfiend]

[ The girl on the screen is looking mildly annoyed. Though, that's possibly due to the cat ears on top her head that are twitching slightly with her irritation. The tail swishing behind her is being ignored for the moment. ]

This is normal for this place, right?

Also, I had something from home show up. I still don't trust it.

[ Give him a few minutes for the last of today's most recent transformation to wear off. :|

Even then the fox ears and tail remain. ]

Yes, A-Xiang, it's normal.

[ A smile appears though. ]

You're very cute like this.

[ As if she isn't naturally a beautiful young woman.

His smile fades and he focuses on the last bit. ]

What appeared?

[amethystfiend]

[ She scrunches her nose up and those ears twitch slightly. ]

Brother Zhou!

[ She was not cute like this! How was it cute? ]

My whip. Master made me one, but mine showed up.

[fated_dance]

[ He grins as she makes herself even more adorable. His ears twitch, one flicks back and forth a bit and the tip of a tail waves in view before vanishing again.

But he does drop his gaze after a moment, making a tiny bit of effort to reign his amusement in for her sake. The mention of her whip helps. ]

It might be fine. Do you want to use it again?

[amethystfiend]

[ That tail of hers swishes slightly and she scowls a bit at the question. ]

I'm not going to let myself get bad with it.

[ What kind of question was that? Asking her if she wanted to use it again. ]

[fated_dance]

[ He arches a brow, gaze returning to fix on her. ]

That isn't what I asked.

Do you want to use the one your master made you, or the one that just showed up?

[amethystfiend]

[ That has her scrunching her nose a bit more, ears twitching back slightly. ]

I don't know!

[ She was at a bit of a dilemma. ]

Master made one, but the other was from him too.

[ How did a person choose between weapons? Master had his fan. Brother Zhou had his sword.

She probably just looks even more frustrated now. ]

Who??

(( It's all he can manage in his rage. ))

[amethystfiend]

[ Video or not those ears flatten back at that rage, though there's also clear confusion in those eyes too. ]

Who what?

[eternalgrief]

It is. You look quite cute.

What is it that showed up and why do you not trust it?

[amethystfiend]

I am NOT cute.

[ What is with Brother Zhou and this stranger thinking that? ]

My whip. And would you trust something that just showed up out of nowhere?

[eternalgrief]

Ah~ But you are!

[ And denying it only makes her cuter. He's charmed. ]

A whip...How interesting. And why wouldn't I trust it? I showed up here out of nowhere too.

[amethystfiend]

I'm not!

[ Of course, her ears twitch slightly at the whole being called cute thing. She doesn't realize, even with Brother Zhou being amused, that denying it only makes people think she's cuter. ]

Why would you trust it? Would you even know that it's truly yours?

[eternalgrief]

The more you deny it the cuter you become.

Can you know without using it?

[amethystfiend]

That is not how that works.

[ Or maybe that is how that works. How would she know? ]

I know what my master has and hasn't given me. So, it's real.

[ She just doesn't know if it can be trusted. ]

[eternalgrief]

It definitely is how it works.

What's the worst that can really happen here at this point?

[soakedinvinegar]

Who dared touch you?

[amethystfiend]

[ Wait... What? She scrunches up her nose at the question. ]

No one touched me.

[ Why would she let anyone do that? ]

[amethystfiend]

We die again.

[ It's almost deadpanned. ]

[eternalgrief]

There are worse things than death.

[amethystfiend]

Not when it's your own there isn't.

[eternalgrief]

Sometimes living is a curse.

[amethystfiend]

Not when those you love are there.

[soakedinvinegar]

The animal traits show up when you've bonded with someone.

[amethystfiend]

You, Brother Zhou, the little idiot, and Beauty Ghost.

[ Those are the only bonds that she has. She's not entirely sure if Scorpion counts in all of that. But this? There is all the innocence in the world in Kexing's daughter.

She's still not sure why her master is having such a fit over it. ]

[soakedinvinegar]

...

(( Oh. Well... Kexing looks a little put out at being so very, very wrong. ))

Nevermind.
