[Guess who's been in the park practicing his wicked skateboard moves? This guy.

Guess who fell off said skateboard and fell asleep in the grass in the park? Also this guy.

Mituna's lying under the shade of a tree, one arm tucked up under his head, his skateboard upside-down with the wheels slowly turning a few feet away.

===> Disturb the yellowblood?]

Ehe. Cat puns. Mituna puffs a bit of hair out of the way of one of his eyes and gets a better look at the kittens. Having been woken up doesn't even seem to be bothering him anymore.

"Do they havh-ve nameth?" He picks the white one up in both hands and brings it close to his face, the uncovered blue eye peering at it.

[bestestfurrend]

"They do!" Nepeta assures him. "That one is Pounce!" she says just as the mentioned cat bats at Mituna's nose with her paw yet again. "And the dark one is Leap. They're very friendly and like playing and being cuddled." Leap is, in fact, trying to climb up Mituna's front to join Pounce in his hands.

[helmetdoesnothing]

He sets Pounce down, petting her, and he can't help his smiling as the two kittens bounce and play on his lap. Mituna had never had pets, even when he'd been alive - at least, he didn't remember having pets, perhaps he'd kept bees - and is was a new experience.

"Nithe nameth.." he decides, then looks up at the kittytroll. "... You're Nepeta."

[bestestfurrend]

"Heehee, I'm glad you like them! One was my lusus' name, and I chose the other one to match." She watches them playing and tumbling about, happy to see the way it's making him smile. There's nothing like cheering someone up through kitties!

"I am! How did you know??"

[helmetdoesnothing]

He tilts his head slowly, twisting his lips in thought before shaking his head. "Don't know," he says. Maybe he heard it somewhere and it just happened to pop up at the right time. He could have been saying the wrong name for all he knew, but he happened to hit on the right one.

The kittens are lightly turned onto their backs, and he gently tickles the soft fur on their bellies, heedless of any tiny claws that might be sticking into his hands.

[bestestfurrend]

"It's okay," she assures him, not really minding how he might have found out. She'd just been curious. "You're Mituna, right? I saw you speaking to Sollux when you first arrived! I'm glad you're feeling better now."

Luckily the kittens are quite docile and used to being played with; no claws make an appearance, though Leap does try and catch a finger to chew on with his tiny baby cat teeth. The two of them seem to be in an ecstasy of playfulness, and Nepeta is completely content to do nothing but watch.

[helmetdoesnothing]

He nods, though it's a bit of an absent, idle-minded gesture. Yes, he's feeling better, but there really hadn't been much room for him to feel worse. Being dead could do that to you. Just being alive was a vast improvement on his previous situation, once he'd got over the shock of it.

"Ith it always nithe here?" he asks after a few minutes, though he doesn't look up. He might actually be addressing the cats.

[bestestfurrend]

"Almost always!" she replies immediately, nodding her head vigorously a few times. "Sometimes the curses are nasty, but usually at worst they're uncomfortable and sometimes they're lots of fun and interesting too! And in between there's lots of things to do and people to visit and play with! I like it lots." It doesn't matter that he's not looking at her - she's kind of focused on the kittens herself just now. They're so cute, it's impossible not to!

[helmetdoesnothing]

He wriggles his fingers over the kittens for them to bat at, and peeks up at Nepeta from under his hair. He puffs it out of the way so he can see her, and his teeth dent his bottom lip as his expression becomes faintly curious.

"Curtheth?"

[bestestfurrend]

Nepeta is having a really hard time not batting at his hair herself - it's so fluffy and cute and all over the place! She manages to sit still and not do it, somehow, mostly by focusing on the darling kittens.

"Uh huh! Strange things happen sometimes! Like everyone being able to see your thoughts in a bubble on top of your head, or getting turned into an animal, or a bunch of other stuff! Most of the time it's not too bad, though some of them can get a bit awkward."

[helmetdoesnothing]

At least give him warning first, he has some serious.. reservations.. about physical contact. A certain violetblood can be blamed for that, at least in part. He watches Nepeta with his head cocked, going over that information slowly enough that it's almost as if the cogs in his mind can be heard going around.

Red and blue sparks briefly around his temples, then he shakes his head as if to clear it.

"Thoundth fucked up." Yet, he's alive again, and he wonders if it's a fair enough price to pay.

[bestestfurrend]

She won't up and touch him without warning! That's why she's holding herself back. She knows it's always better to be careful with a troll you don't know too well.

"It is a bit," she admits, mouth twisting up into a tiny little frown. "But it's not nearly as bad as it sounds! Usually it's a great place to live in. I really like it here."

[helmetdoesnothing]

"Me too."

He does like it. It's quiet and there's lots of room. Not all his teammates are here, but he can deal with that. The ones he doesn't like as much appear to be the ones who are missing, in any case.

Mituna looks up, squinting at the top of the bubble.

"What'th up there."

[bestestfurrend]

"There's an island!" she tells him, looking even more excited than before, if that's even possible. "There's lots to explore and it's nice being out beneath the real sky sometimes, even if it's horribly cold up there right now. When it's warmer and Pounce and Leap are a bit bigger I'm going to take them up there for some fun and games! You could come too if you wanted to."
