Ten Jewels: There SHOULD Be Ten Opals There! [Video | Water Trough]

[destinedforrock]

My cat.

[Cinderella says it straight away and clipped. Face practically right in the trough. Eyes wide.

Voice floats up to an anxious singsong.]

My cat! My cat friend ran off after the earthquake. ...Been two days and - why - I've seen neither hide nor hair of her since, I am at my wit's end and I am... [Wavering high "oooooh!" with a shake of her head and then presses her face back at the surface.] - thiiiiis close to getting out there and looking for her myself.

OH NO!

I want to say we could race over, but things are really busy at the moment! We could try to keep an eye out?

[Indeed, conditions sounded less-than-ideal after the earthquake. She - bats her eyes at the feed a little, partly a simultaneously first- and second-hand-ly uneasy screwing up on her face and partly imploring.] Oh - would you - really, Miria, dear? You have my absolute thanks!

I do not recall if you've met my cat friend! Remind me, do you know what to keep an eye out for...?

[There's a long pause.]

Um.

A description would be helpful!

[destinedforrock]

Ye~es, yes, of course. [Sharp nod.] ...She's a white cat. Long hair! Green eyes, a. ...Rather grumpy-looking face! To tell you the truth, but! Of course, one's face doesn't say it all.

[originaloddcouple]

Then I'll be sure to keep a look out for a grumpy white cat!

[destinedforrock]

Grumpy-looking white cat! She's - hardly all grumpiness, but!

[Sighing sort of "Hm!"] Miria, dear, I love you!

[With the same sort of pushed-forward sigh as the sound that preceded it, but a bit more of a bounce; you really are a chum!]

[originaloddcouple]

[Cinderella may not be able to see it, but Miria begins blushing furiously at the compliment.]

Thanks! You're one of the best friends I have!

[destinedforrock]

[Ahh she's tickled pink to be told that in kind - ears waggle!]

Llllikewise, dear, and anybody should be glad to be friends with you!

[In intent that's a little sass on Miria's (and Isaac's) behalf - surely not that they need it as comfort, as they can't have taken what the network overheard in their last message to heart, what with how well-liked everything she's seen supports they are.]

...Hang in there, of course!

[originaloddcouple]

[Cinderella you are the best. If Miria was there, she'd wrap her a giant bear hug right then and there.]

Th-thanks! You too!

[destinedforrock]

[She returns that with a wink - a bit of an actually brightened one, in fact, emphasized with a little cock of her head! Reads it as a successfully-sparked brighter note for the both of them - one she'll leave it on gratefully and with her heart a bit lightened!]
