Welcome to Gaia! ::

Itsuki's eyes lit up like stars at Lacrimosa's dream of being a famous cellist. "Uwaaa~! Really? That sounds wonderful, Lacri-san. I'm sorry it didn't work out, but I'm glad you came back! I couldn't have met you if you didn't. Such a pretty sakura senshiii~"

The little cat head-butted Lacrimosa's hand and legs affectionately. Itsuki so loved the sakura senshi, even though they had just met. "Lacri-san, I'm glad you came back, because... It's very important that senshi work hard to rid the city of Chaos. Ash-denka was very serious about that. But nobody can do it alone. Even us Guardians need help! That's why I'm working hard to make Ash-denka proud, and reading all that I can on the headquarters computer."

The offer of being sneaked into a bathhouse, something Itsuki was familiar with due to his upbringing, caused the fluffy tail to swish in excitement. "Really, Lacri-san? Like, a sento? Here in Destiny City? Ayako-chan mentioned her family going back to Japan to visit aunt and uncle, and visiting an onsen, but I've never been to one. They don't usually allow cats... I'd love to see one, though!"

Lacrimosa's admission of having hurt someone close to her was a sad one indeed, and Itsuki's fluffy ears dropped in empathy. "Aww, Lacri-san..." Itsuki reared onto his hind legs in an attempt to be picked up into Lacrimosa's arms. "Nobody can be sad when they have a honto kawaii cat in their arms!"

The Mauvian couldn't help but snuggle himself into Lacrimosa's chest, his soft fur tickling her skin. Despite being a Mauvian and supposedly being above base feline instincts, Itsuki couldn't help but purr and knead lightly into the senshi's sleeve. Happy as a clam, he was.

"Eh, I could pretend to be one of those maneki-neko. I can pose like that! Sure, I'm not the right color but... I can be honto kawaii whenever you need, Lacri-san. Do you think you could take me there, sometime? That would be fun! OH! Where do you live, Lacri-san? Right now I just live at the Headquarters, but I sure would love to sleep on a soft pillow~"

Look at me, I'm so cute! You would just love for me to snuggle up next to you at night and purr~ You sure would!

Googly eyes in place, Itsuki might have been weaponizing his cuteness but at least he didn't have a mean bone in his body.

Itsuki's drooped when the sakura senshi asked about a home for the little cat. "Ano... not really. Ayako-chan and her family raised me, and they owned a restaurant downtown. The Negaverse attacked and destroyed it a few weeks ago... Ayako-chan and her family are safe, but I awakened that night and I can't really do my job if I'm with her all the time..." The cat twiddled his paws, slightly guilty for leaving behind the person who had basically raised him from kittenhood. "So... sort of, but not really. I just sleep at the Headquarters and then try to beg for food where I can..."

His little eyes lit up when Lacrimosa offered a place to stay. "Uwaaa~ Lacri-san, I can stay with you? That would be wonderful! Sugoooiiii~! I promise I can be honto kawaii for your parents and... don't worry, I love to snuggle! That's the best part about being a Guardian, I think. All the snuggles with sakura senshiii~!"

The lilac-point flopped against Lacrimosa's chest and turned on the Purr Machine, happy as a clam in the sakura senshi's arms.
