"Does your-- the, cat let hobos in your house often?" Noah asked with a raised brow and made a mental note to never offer permanent shelter to a guardian cat.
He glanced at *********, still feeling awkward addressing animals. "Yeah, one. Er, besides Zee. He ran into my kitchen screaming and crying and then he took a bath in my sink. Named Thetis, I think..."
"You won't let me sleep on your couch but you let a strange cat take a bath in your sink?!"
Zia was weirdly offended by her brother taking in stray guardians that weren't her.

The blonde shook her head. "No... so far... b*tch-face is the only one she keeps letting in..."
Tact, Ellie did not have it.
However, at the mention of Thetis of all cats, both the tomboy and the cat's eyes seemed to grow wide.
After a moment of stunned silence, she did offer "...well... from what I know... he is somewhat new at all of this guardianship stuff..."
Where as ********* didn't have the legitimate reasons, Ellie seemed to have the answers. "...no... it's because Thetis is a freak and has way too many personal issues." He had issues with round objects, dirt, and other things which she wouldn't dwell on.
"Ellie! Come on... you barely know him!" the manx scolded.
Eyes were rolled mostly because ********* statement was inaccurate. "...dude... Connolly.... how the hell are ya attractin' so many cats to ya? p***y magnet?" She smirked a bit at his expense.

"That is mean, Ellie," Zia said, lifting her head up off the couch with a groan of effort. "I have shown you nothing but love and affection."
"Okay," Noah said with a knitted brow and a frown at the Thetis stuff. Okay, fine, he was new and ran into people's kitchens screaming. And okay, fine he had personal issues. He could wholly agree with this.
Stupid cat thought his bike was a pony!
He just held that expression for a long time because it very accurately summed up how he felt about everything, including Zia being so embarrassing in front of his friends oh my god.
Until Ellie had to make a tasteless joke about p***y magnets and while he was used to Ellie's tasteless jokes, this one might've hit a little closer to home with Zia's recent teasing about how he was a magnet for slutty college girls.
His expression shifted to one of horror and he leaned away from her defensively. "What?! No!"
And Zia fell off the couch in a laughing fit.

********* soon was no longer on the couch. No, not with Zia somewhat falling off it. Nope, she was on the ground and somewhat slinking away from the semi-flailing body that was Zia. With that, she had wandered to the man's ankles.
With a couple sniffs, she seemed to remember something. "...you were the one with the Pi day special... yes?" She paused to lick her maw.
"...your food was good, but I wish I had been able to stay longer."
Ellie's smirk easily grew to a grin as Noah reacted. "...dude... if you really don't want such technology, I can hand it off to someone who could really use it. Loves cats..." There was a hidden meaning lying beneath her words.
However, ********* mention of Pi day did not fall upon deaf ears. "...wait... were you th'one that was causin' all that ruckus?!" She groaned, seemingly incapable of enjoying the spot where Zia had fallen. "Cat... seriously... go on a f*ckin' diet... yer gettin' fat!"
"I prefer the term 'pleasantly plump,' Ellie!"
It didn't sound like ********* was remotely insulted by the blonde's words.

Noah was too busy realizing an old vendetta to be taking weird offense to Ellie's style of joking with him.
That cat. That cat.
"YOU," He said in a voice that was a little more raised than he he meant and outright glared at *********. "Do you know how much trouble you caused? I had to close down early that day. Can you imagine the consequences if I was caught with a filthy alley cat in the restaurant?"
Also the resulting embarrassment of chasing her, like falling in Phina's lap.
"If I ever see your fat butt prowling around my establishment again, I'm calling animal control."
"Jeez, Noah, calm down," Zia sat up on the floor and cringed a little. Everything had been such a joke before, but apparently he seriously wanted ********* in the slammer.
"I don't understand why guardian cats insist on walking around in this form anyway, all it does is cause trouble."

The manx, despite all the hollering that was coming from Noah, still seemed to have her cool. Still using her spritely tone, she commented "You know, I am probably cleaner than a good portion of your clientele, truth be told. However, I don't like the idea of being called an 'alley cat.' It's essentially the equivalent of telling a human that they are a hobo or homeless."
However, Noah made a rather odd comment, and ********* immediately turned to Ellie. "...would you mind if I give a demonstration really quickly?"
The blonde made a long noise that could have resembled groaning, but it eventually turned into an odd "thinking" noise. "...I don't mind... gives me some exercise if anything gets f*cked up..."
With a nod and a jingle, the cat's head turned to the eldest in the room in one clean motion. "Noah, I would appreciate it if you could power yourself up please... it will make my point a little easier to explain." She looked at him with wide eyes, easily attempting to abuse her privileges as a small cat.

Zia flopped her back against the couch as she sat on the floor. She already knew where this was going and didn't see any reason to butt in.
Noah scowled, though. "Don't insult my customers, you overweight furball," He snapped. For being so mellow most days, even taking Ellie's abuse with a lot of light laughter and apologies, he had a few hot buttons and his business was one of them.
The conversation was flying over his head, though, and he looked between the two girls and the cat with a pause. "I--... okay?"
And then her powered up to his sparkly squire self.

There was suddenly a Squire in her living room, and Ellie seemed oddly quiet about it. However, despite the lack of words, her eyes seemed to be inspecting him intently, taking in various details of the uniform.
"That is quite an impressive uniform!" the manx mentioned, seeming to pass over his snappish reply back to her earlier. She walked in a circle in front of his feet when rather suddenly she shot up in height. Once the odd growth spurt had ended, a girl with silvery hair stood in front of him standing upon one bare foot.
Even with her hat on, she still was nowhere near this Squire's height. However, the hat came off rather promptly so she could show off her ears which twitched slightly upon the top of her head.
"So this is the only other form I can take on... all of the cats do have the potential to take on a similar form, though not all are aware of it. However... I'll leave it to you to tell me why I wouldn't take on such a form on a daily basis..."
With a knowing smile, she leaned in close, eyes eagerly upon his (with a couple innocent bats of her eyelashes).

"Er," Alfheim cleared his throat with an awkward cough when ********* changed to show off her other form. He wasn't expecting the fat furball to change into a petite girl, but besides that, the aura she was giving off was unsettling.
He knew this much about Mauvians, or at least now he realized he did. Zia's aura overwhelmed him and made him dizzy immediately on awakening.
Still didn't answer his question. "I--... wait, no, I mean--" He gestured to Zia, who was trying to angle the remote past all the bodies in the room to get back on Modern Family reruns.
"I mean why don't you guys walk around as civilians? I mean... I thought... that's..." He was about to say that's why he thought they could talk but he pretty much knew he was wrong the second he asked his question.
"W-wait, I thought cats were just like knights and senshi."

********* leaned so her head was tilted in the Squire's direction.
"...I'm pretty sure I already said this was the only other form I could take..."
There was a tiny pause for her to allow her voice to into a sing-song tone. "Annnnnnnnnnd......."
In a nymph-like manner, she seemed to twirl and frolic over to where Zia was focusing on the television. There was no hesitation for her as she wrapped her arms about the lilac-haired girl and rather easily planted a smooch upon her cheek. As her arms squeezed for a hug, she announced "I already said that Zia is a special case!" One more giggle and another innocent smooch upon the cheek, and ********* seemed to prance back to Alfheim.
However, that didn't seem to be enough for the odd cat-earred girl. Rather than just stand in front of him, she instead practically hopped up and latched onto his back, as if trying to hitch a piggyback ride. Her human-size did not last very long, and soon enough her form had shrunk down to that of a cat perched upon his shoulder.
No more aura, but plenty of fuzz against his cheek. She gave him a small scratchy lick against said cheek.
"I make better youma-bait than I do a people-person!"
Ellie was not nearly as impressed by the display of affections. "...Cat... Do ya really have to go flinging all that rainbow vomit all over my house? This ain't th'Love Shack!"

"Yeah, but--..." Alfheim sighed. This didn't make any sense. He even leaned his head away at the lick on the cheek, but since she was perched on his shoulder she just went with him.
"I thought that was the whole logic behind cats talking and having human intelligence, I guess..." He admitted and shot a glare to Zia, who had absentmindedly given ********* a bit of an acknowledging pat when she hugged her but was mostly leaning to the far side trying to watch TV. "Why is she special, then?"
Great! More Zia-is-a-special-little-princess bullshit. Like he didn't get enough of that syrupy s**t from their dad.
"Dude, they're just aliens," Zia said with a roll of the eyes. "I mean, you're standing next to the sparkleprincess of ********' rainbows from a space asteroid, just accept the talking cats are part of life now."

Not that Zia was paying attention, but Ellie most definitely flipped the girl the bird in response to that horrible reveal. However, her eyes were upon the uniform which the Squire wore.
With a sigh and a few tsks, ********* mentioned "...Zia is correct... by definition, I am considered an alien. We are very similar in appearance to the felines of Earth... but we are definitely not the same. Truth be told... we aren't able to communicate with the Earth cats. I can fake noises... but none of it is intelligible to cats from what I understand..."
It was then that Ellie smacked both her hands together, then suddenly was pointing at poor naive Alfheim. "NOW I REMEMBER! During the Silver Millennium, you had tits!"
The cat rather quickly shut up after that proclamation. She felt embarrassed for poor Alfheim, even though she was quite certain Alfheim was embarrassed enough for himself as well.

'You had tits' was not really a phrase Alfheim, at any point in his long career of being alive and socially active, had been trained or prepared to react to. His first response was to stare at Ellie just because she'd yelled, and then that was followed up by a rush of red to his face and a stammering, "W-what...?"
He had no idea what she was talking about.
Zia needed a second, but she managed to put two and two together since she had a little bit of a better grip on what the Silver Millennium meant and realized Ellie remembered past Alfheim. Zia might've been wearing her necklace, but poor Alfy had her armor and her title.
She just doubled over in raucous laughter rather than clue him in, though.

Her finger was still pointing in an accusatory manner, though oddly, Ellie had a grin upon her face. "...yeah... that uniform and name... I knew it sounded familiar... I hope you have more coordination than ya used t'have... Never met such a circus enthusiast who fell on her face that much..."
There may have been some exaggeration, but the tomboy wasn't about to let on how much she was altering the truth.
Eventually ********* was able to find a voice, and soon enough spoke to the perch she was on at that moment.
"...this wouldn't be the first time I've heard of a starseed altering the gender of a person during this era... though my knowledge is more in tune with Senshi, not knights so much..."
Her own knowledge was more based off what she heard rather than what she remembered, seeing as her own memories seemed to be locked up tight. Even with Iris' help, she might have known some things that had happened, but she did not legitimately remember much.
Despite the fact she was quite aware of what was so hilarious, the blonde shot a side glance to Zia. "...so... now yer part hyena t'go with the cat and human part of ya?"

"Whoa, ********, what?" Alfheim squawked and powered down, leaning away and lifting his arms in front of his body almost defensively. "Look, I'm not tryin' to be transphobic or nothing but my gender has definitely not been altered in any way!"
Zia had been working on calming her laughter and ended up reexploding all over again. It was starting to tax on her throat and her sides hurt, but the schadenfreude at her brother's distress was too much to bear.
"I guess so!" She cackled. Though she did calm down and sigh a bit before shaking her head. "You know I wasn't born some weird cat hybrid, Sasquatch, I'm actually very human at my core!"
She said it in a chipper enough faction, but somewhere, deep down under multiple layers of farce and deception, it did bother her. Like some microaggression against her humanity she felt genuinely needed to be corrected.
