Two steps short of the desk, Kitsu reaches into what seems to be mid-air and pulls out Aerie, holding her by the ankle. "..." Keaton articulates. "..." Kitsu explains. "..." Aerie elaborates. "Ow!" Bob emphasizes, as Aerie's slightly mis-placed teleport lands him on the ground upside down, where Aerie would have been had Kitsu not caught her. "Leaving aside how I knew you'd be there, where were you?" Kitsu smiles. "I was almost getting worried." Aerie stares, wide-eyed, at Kitsu, trying to back away in her grip. "Umm...Aerie?" Kitsu lets her go. "Is something wrong?" "Y-you said..." Aerie sniffles, again on the verge of tears. "You said I should go away." "Huh? Oh, *that*. I just meant for a little while, while I took care of something, not forever! Geez, Aerie, I...well, okay, maybe I did lose my temper, but I didn't mean it." Aerie blinks. "For real?" "For real." Kitsu wonders, for an instant, what could have made her so Angry at Aerie, then steps forwards, kneels to drop her eye level to Aerie's, and puts a hand on her shoulder. "We're friends, okay?" Aerie gleefully hugs Kitsu. Bob and Keaton give the pair identical looks, for different reasons. Eventually, Bob coughs politely. "By the way, we found a place where we can dump the unown. No more mind control." Kitsu stands up, patting Aerie. "You did? Great! We can go there after the convention." Keaton shakes his head, the suggestion Angering him slightly. Kitsu shrugs. "We can discuss it later. Right now, we've got a competition to enter. And then Aerie and I are going to find a room." She winks at Aerie. Aerie's jaw drops. "Don't get any ideas. You're just going to be my costume, and it'll be over my normal clothes." "You'll overheat. You'll have to strip sooner or later." "No I won't." Kitsu sticks out her tongue. "Yes you will. I'm not *that* cool." Aerie sticks her tongue out back. TBC?
