[ the amount of very polite letters sent to them via crow makes me lose it
anyway, they appear quietly out of the void as usual, but with the air of someone not trying to spook others. there is an owl perched on their shoulder. ]
[ remember how you were like yeah my brother see he was really bad at school but hes good at fighting because of his attention span
yeah
anyway he tilts his head to match the owl...... ] A familiar... is that like Miss Tara? What's his name? You've always got animal companions, lately, War.
[ THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! you'd think he'd be ready for this this time but he was not because it was an owl. thankfully rondo recovers quickly - he laughs, startled, once his initial yell is out of his too loud lungs, and it turns into something more delighted as he cups the spider with one hand!!! HELLO!!!! ]
Battle, you're a master of stealth! I never would've known! [ okay. this is the first big smile he's had like all day so there's that ] What an amazing friend you have, War.
the spider sort of dances in rondo's hand before springing to rondo's shoulder. he lands there not as a spider, but as a brown spotted and striped cat. it rubs up against rondo's head, putting the tail in rondo's face. ]
oh!!! listen, he already loves battle very much but the cat is super charming. sometimes you canonly are a cat person despite being a giant dog, and rondo laughs, lifting his hand up to offer it for sniffs and trying not to sneeze at the tail. ]
Maybe. You can be a little mischievous too, though. [ mr sneaking up on people ] Something of a salve, after a very, very long weekend.
[ yeah... yeah. some of the warmth and joy like, falls off his face, and he looks far, far less thrilled, smile softening into something sadder as he offers his hands for kitty rubs and lets them do as they like. ]
He's very astute. [ to say the least. rondo's gaze flicks downwards, and after a moment, he lets his worries free. ] Yesterday, I... I'm glad I didn't kill Miss Erin. We needed someone to complete the ritual, I just... I wish it could have been someone who wasn't a combatant. Miss Asa... I'm glad she's alright, but it must have been terrifying.
[ HEY. not that. cut it out. the mysterious feline familiar rubs back and forth a little more furtively. ]
I doubt you would have felt very accomplished having her blood on your sword even if she was afflicted. [ weenie hut jr (kidding) ] So it's best it went the way it did.
There is still time before the ritual is finished, so you may even have other opportunities to perform an act like Vin.
he rubs his fingers into the mysterious cat's face, taking solace in the very soft and fluffy fur. war is right - he wouldn't have felt accomplished at all, but at least asa might not have gotten hurt. rondo's quiet for a long moment. ]
It's not so much that... If I must, I will, of course. I just would rather it be me, or Mr. Kanda, or Lavi, or... someone who's more used to doing this kind of thing. It's not easy to have blood on your hands.
Plus...if... we find whoever the last monster was, then... [ that scares him a little too, honestly. what if they were wrong? that's the scariest part. he thinks about his conversation with vin and swallows. ] ... well. If we find them.

Yes?
no subject
anyway!!! listen rondo is going to say something, but he gets completely distracted by the bird. hello. ]
...Owl...?
no subject
the owl twists its head sideways and hoots at rondo. ]
He is a familiar of someone I know.
no subject
yeah

no subject
[ 😐 two of them. ]
I would say yes, but I feel Gale would descend into a long diatribe of the particulars of it. I believe Tara is a familiar, but not a summoned one.
Victory can take many forms.
no subject
anyway he goes !!!!!!!!! ]
Was Victory also Battle?!
no subject
when he gets almost there, he transforms from an owl into a spider and just attaches to rondo's face. ]
Yes.

SQUAWKS ]

the cat sniffs and then butts its head into the offered hand. it enjoys walking across rondo's shoulders back and forth, rubbing. ]
Far from it.
[ they will deny this. ]
From what I'm aware, I think that he is fond of offering comfort to others who are in need of it.
