Xero huffed again, all grumbly offense. “No-uh. You just gotta know how to play with big kitties. They’re extra rough sometimes, an’ when they get essited, they forget that claws and fangs are sharps. You just gotta stand up for yourself an’ tell ‘em when they’re playin’ too rough. An’ sometimes bop ‘em on the nose a little.” Or...so she imagined, she supposed.
Must have done.
She sighed and let the topic go, ‘cause she was pretty sure she wasn’t gonna win that one. Out loud, at least. Wouldn’t stop her from being right or knowing she was, but what was the point in arguing it?
“I’m glad you got friends. Not having friends is maybe pretty lonely, I think, huh? Oh! Um. I…” She frowned, tilting her head a little and trying to remember. “I dunno. There was this fairybug up on a big tall mountain, but I don’ think she told me to go make friends ezac’ly. She mostly muttered things about granting wishes? I’unno, it was all very spinny confusing, an’ I was too busy tryna stand an’ walk an’ move to really pay ‘tention.”
And trying to remember made her head all itchy buzzy again, so she stopped and shook and frowned. “But they are, right? Important? So you don’t be too lonely?” She peeked up at the blue-edged lady, still puzzled. “The fairybug told me to have fun, that means friends, I think? So maybe she did tell me, just twisty-like. Which sounds like a thing she would do, anyhow. OH! Did I tell you yet? I’m Xero.”

@[Lepis] omg clearly you had nothing to apologize for D: I'm sorry it's been forever, I could not write happy Xero while I was dealing with brother things and was basically an emotional wreck. If you wanna keep going with this thread, awesome, but if not I totallyyyy understand, I super dropped the ball on it.
