A pretty brown color, like caramel. He has darker brown eyes too, and white on his feet and muzzle. He's a very handsome cat. If you wanna charm him enough to come around, he's pretty quick on his feet, so nothing can catch him.
[whether it be dogs, cats, or human hands. he can see the park in the distance, so he's picking up the pace, making a soft clicking sound with his tongue to make sure ame-tan's sticking close. free-spirit he may be, there's an understanding between strays.]
[She can't even deny that. The description is doing well to get her mind to imagine the kitten. Even if he was wild he sounds really sweet. Leo was the best with animals and she likes that.
In her little tunnel she just waits, though she pokes out when she hears footsteps on the small rocks of the playground.]
[and when he sees her peeking out, he gives a wave of his hand, hanging up their call; ame-tan meows in greeting too, flicking his ears at leo and then trotting close to lily to let her pet him. leo kneels down next to the tunnel, reaching out to ruffle lily's hair and wipe her face.]
Your knights have arrived, Lily~. Now, what's wrong? Who's made you cry? I'll scold them harshly, [and beat them up,] so tell your Leonii.
doesn't sound right at all, not lily, and leo's at a loss of what to say; he pets her head instead, then pulls her into his arms and squeezes her tight.]
M'gonna tell you somethin' I told someone else, 'kay? [...] I'm not the person that's in my memories, and I'm not the person who was here before, who shared my name and more... which can happen, by the way, it's pretty weird. It took them a bit to get it, but they did in the end: they view the me now as the me that matters, and that's how it is with you, too.
I don't know why the Lily in your memories did that, but the Lily I know here wouldn't. She's too kind and sweet. So you're not a bad person, Lily, because the you of this life didn't hurt anyone. Okay..?
[he's. not sure if this is the right way to go about this, but he hates to be helpless. it's the only thing he can think of.]
[It was enough of a shock for Lily that she didn't even tell her family yet. Leo is the first person but she was afraid of anyone hating her. So when Leo was quiet she was ready to duck away. So it was to her surprise to be in his arms and she starts to cry more as she listens.
Burying her face into Leo's chest. It was pretty easy for her to understand what he meant but it was just a scary thought. Was the other her really a terrible person?]
What...if I become her though? I don't want to hurt anyone.
[no one can truly become the person they were before, could have the relationships they had before, and
that's on a more personal note for leo himself, so he pushes off the thought and rocks lily back and forth, ame-tan pressing his muzzle into her cheek with a comforting sound.]
If you can think like that, then you won't. "I don't want to hurt anyone," "I don't want to be the kind of person they were," "I want to be better than that" -- those are the kind of words that're important, you know? So don't cry, Lily, your Leonii'll protect you, even from yourself. I'm a "Knight", after all..♪
[It was comforting to hear someone say something like that...Leo was really good at this. Slowly but surely she was starting to relax in her body language before she rubs the kitten softly.]
Leonii...is a good person. [She truly means that and she looks up him.]
I'm...sorry if I scared you.
[Her means of contacting Leo was starting to hit her and she feels a little embarrassed to scare the other.]
[mmm. he wouldn't call himself a good person, but if someone thinks he is, then that's...]
Don't worry about it, Lily, there wouldn't be a way to get me movin' any faster.
[sort of a lie. he'd come running no matter what, to anyone who needed him. leo squeezes her again, leaning his head against her.]
Wish I could be closer though... You're too young to be away from your parents, even if it'd probably be better to be around people who're on the app like us.
They won't. [he'll brush her hair gently.] No matter what you say to them, they won't think it's anything but a bad dream you had. They got used to this scar of yours too, didn't they..? In time?
[it's a small comfort, even if they're becoming... more aware of the oddities of the city, the people waking to the strange things they'd viewed as normal. it's very punk, but for lily... for people who had worse memories than others, that's not so good, maybe.]
Even so, who do you think they'll think is bad? The little girl they loved and raised with their own two hands, or the one they don't know at all in your memories? Parents want to think they did a good job with what they brought into this world, see, so they won't want to blame you any.
[... not yet, anyway. she's not old enough for them to push the blame off themselves.]
As for people like us, what's it to them? You don't owe them shit, you know? And they don't owe you anything either. But you're a sweet girl, Lily, you just gotta show them the person you are now before they learn what that other one did. They'll know what's true in their heart. And if they don't... I'll kick their asses.
[There was a moment where she was quiet and nodded. It was true they were surprised but then suddenly it was like she didn't have it? It was kind of weird but she didn't want to question it. Besides it makes it easier.]
Well...because she was me, right? That means...we could both do that?
[Fiddling with the hem of her dress she is trying to put into words her thoughts. There is a giggle as he talks about kicking asses.]
Leonii is funny!
I just don't want them to not want...
[About to calm down another memory hits and it was just as bad. Quietly she stares at Leo before she touches her face.]
Or throw me away...
They did that and this...they left me in the woods all alone.
[... being abandoned is the worse. he gets the feeling, he knows it, and he tightens his grip around her.]
They wouldn't do that here. You wouldn't do anything bad here. You're a good girl, Lily, I'll say it as many times as it takes for you to get that, okay? Someone with a sweet a heart as you wouldn't wanna hurt other people, so you wouldn't.
[even if children can hurt others without meaning. they're just like that, but they always, always apologize if they're taught right, and lily clearly was.]
[No sign of moving away from Leo she nods a little halfhearted. The thought that family would do this to someone...let alone parents is a little shocking to her. It's the point she can't really process it in her brain right now.
Unsure she can ask her family if they would...she looks up at Leo. Some worry in her expression.]
[... he doesn't want to be the kind of person that abandons others anymore, no more than he wants to be the abandoned. no matter what happens, he's gotta be there for her. for tsukasa. mm.]
Never. I promise, Lily, so long as you're here I'll be at your side. We'll make a pinky promise on it, how's that? ♪
[hell yea. he squeezes it, then moves their hands up and down to a beat as he sings softly.]
Yubi kiri genman, if we tell a lie, drink a thousand needles and cut our pinkies off. ♪ Well, it's a little shoddy in English, but it's a seal. So if I break this promise, Lily, you can make me do whatever you think would make you feel better. Okay?
