[ That worked almost a bit too well. But hey, at least it got the kid to stop fussing at him. Hisui just wants to eat breakfast in peace (even if it isn't necessarily his breakfast).

Although now it's Hisui's turn to get heated, thanks to Kor's comment. When is this kid going to stop being a moron?! ]

I'm not a cat, dumbass! [ Says the guy with the wiggly cat ears on his head. At least most of those other feline traits from earlier seem to have vanished...except for a set of fangs. That might take a bit. ] And quit talkin' with your mouth full!

[ Geez. ]

Look, it was the first thing I saw that I felt like eating. Besides, there wasn't enough milk, anyway.

[He swallows down that pastry.] Ah, crap, right. I forgot we were low on milk.

[You should be amazed he's survived this long without accidentally starving himself, Hisui.]

What do you mean you aren't a cat, though? You've got those soft-looking cat ears on your head! [He gestures to those furry triangles perched on top of Hisui's head.]

[ oh my god when is this kid going to shUT UP ]

Hey, I never asked for these things! And they ain't soft! [ They're totally soft, but good luck getting that out of him. ] Just 'cause I have furry ears don't mean I'm a damn cat!

[ ...he says this, but then those eyes and teeth show up again. He really isn't helping his own argument, here. ]

But you are a monster. Or half-monster, or something. I don't know how that really works.

[It's a confusing time for Kor, humans turning into monsters, he still doesn't get the logistics behind it.]

Anyway, you still have cute cat ears! [He says this with a smile.] Hey, do you have a tail yet, Hisui? What about paw pads?

They ain't cute! [ They're totally cute. ] And no, I don't! Just a buncha fur.

[ Although if Hisui gets any more worked up, a tail is bound to appear, given the pattern so far. He hopes it won't be as fluffy as his ears are, although knowing his luck it probably will be. ]

Tch. At least one of us is getting a kick out of this. Bet you'd be thrilled to wake up with a pair of fuzzy ears on your head, huh?

Yeah, doesn't seem so bad to me! [He says, sounding almost painfully cheerful about it considering how mad he was over pastries a few moments ago.]

I'd probably wake up and watch 'em wiggle in the mirror. Probably poke them a couple times too to make sure they were real. Once I got used to it, it'd be pretty great, I'd say!

[He deflates a little now.]

At least... it's gotta be better than learning all this magic...

Ugh, why do I even-

[ In retrospect, Kor absolutely seems like the type to get a kick out of having cat ears. The mental image of it alone just makes too much sense. Though, who knows how well he'd handle the rest of what comes with being a monster. Hisui doesn't remember dealing with too much trouble last time he was here, but somehow things coming along more slowly is making it more difficult.

He can't help but snarl - actually snarl - at Kor's remark about magic, though. Maybe he's grumpy because he just woke up and he's hungry. Maybe he's upset because he's still adjusting to not having his artes. But still, Kor continues to find ways to grate his nerves a little. ]

At least you have magic. [ With that, he shoves the entire rest of his pastry in his mouth. Not that there was much left, but still. ] 'sides, it ain't that hard to learn.

Maybe to you. You were incredible with Will Artes, even without a Soma!

[He definitely couldn't understate how strong Hisui's Will Artes were. Sure, he wasn't Lithia, or even Beryl, but he definitely was strong.]

Gramps never taught me how to use Will Artes, never even tried to. I guess he had his reasons, if he was worried about Creed, but... Still, even after months, I don't feel like I get this magic stuff.

[Kor shoves the rest of his pastry in his mouth, chewing it hastily and swallowing it down.]

I'm built for saving Spirias, not slinging spells!
