"What?"

[tender]

A bajurr?

[ squints ]

Did someone suggest that to you?

[justashotaway]

Yes. It has stripes and claws.

[tender]

A lot of things have stripes and claws.

[ oh boy ]

Did they say if it had fur?

[justashotaway]

No.

[And then, to clarify:]

They did not specify.

[tender]

Hm. They might mean a badger. We could ask Tavin if he knows.

[justashotaway]

What is a badger?

[tender]

They're a type of animal. They burrow, and they have a white streak on their face.

[ a beat ]

I think a cat would be a better costume for you.

[justashotaway]

In the ground?

[She can nearly imagine them inside tree trunks, too, these badgers of Derrica's. (Her best guess is somewhat dog-shaped, but with larger paws.)]

I think I would prefer a cat. Or an acrobat.

[tender]

I think you'd make a good cat. We could paint whiskers on your face.

[justashotaway]

Then I would not have to wear a mask.

This would be ideal.

[tender]

That's what I thought as well. We can find you something to make little ears to put in your hair, and that'll take care of it.

[justashotaway]

I will need to make a tail as well.

[tender]

Wysteria will know how to make a tail. [ will she??? ] She's clever.

[justashotaway]

I met her once. She was...[It isn't that she's looking for a kind way to describe someone she dislikes--there was nothing offensive about Wysteria. But she was so unlike anyone Laura had met that she struggles for description.] ...bright.

[The way the sun is.]

[tender]

She is.

[ no descriptor attempted. ]

Can you meet me in the Gallows in an hour?

[justashotaway]

Yes. Where?

[Wherever Derrica chooses, there Laura will be, waiting for an explanation. This, too, she assumes, is about the costume.]

[tender]

Just by the common area. Then we can go see about buying you some things for your costume.
