Morph smiled softly, picking up the clippers off the table again and scooting himself over so that he was facing Elijah better. Gently, he reached forward with his empty hand and touched under the young Toyger’s chin, keeping his head in place so he didn’t accidentally end up cutting Elijah. Holding that hand steady, he moved in with the clippers, cutting off the first one at the very bottom of Elijah’s collar. It was like tending a bonsai tree, (which was indeed why Morph had these clippers; for horticulture class,) but bonsai trees didn’t remind one of an implement of torture.
From the first, he snipped three more off, going clockwise up the side of the collar. “How are you holding up, Elijah?” Morph murmured, softly smoothing the Toyger’s hair out of the way of the next spike. “If you don’t feel comfortable, I can stop at any time.” Clipping off the spike, Morph paused to clear away the five bloodstained objects out from Ara’s lap. He glanced from the blind Toyger up to his love, flashing a quiet smile before looking back down at Elijah. Watching for any signs of discomfort, Morph worked his way to the top of the collar, clearing out the spikes occasionally so they didn’t p***k anyone.

"I-I'm okay . . ." Every snick brought on a small ripple of relief, like the collar itself was getting lighter; maybe it literally was! And as Mister Morph worked, Elijah thought of what it would be like to finally not have to worry about those spikes: no more not picking at the collar when it hurt in fear of getting pricked, or of it puncturing his fur, or having to know that he wore blood out in the open - actually, maybe the smell of blood would go away! It was these, along with Miss Ara's attentions and humming, that kept the kitten still even when knowing the shears were by his neck.
Once Mister Morph was finished, Elijah let out a deep-held sigh, gently feeling at the nubs with a paw to grow accustomed to this new freedom. "Thank you s-so much!" he purred. "B-Both of you." Their kindness made him tremble with growing tears, but he didn't want to trouble them with that display. A full belly, the spikes gone, a home . . . Suddenly he felt very tired, and the kitten yawned, hoping that would excuse any stray tear that fell out. Unclenching his claws from Miss Ara's skirts, he curled up in her lap and laid his head down.

Ara smiled at him and then at Morph as he began cutting. She purred and hummed more to keep Elijah happy and less scared. "Your very brave Elijah!" she said with a smile as she stroked his face and smiled at him. She nuzzled his nose and purred as she watched Morph being careful as he cut the rest off. She smiled at him and then looked at Elijah as he smiled and thanked them. She nodded and pet his head as he curled up in her lap and started to go to sleep. She leaned down, kissed his head and snuggled him a moment and then nodded.
"You have earned some sleep. Get some. There will be more food for you when you wake." and maybe a bath, but she would tell him when he woke incase he didn't like water. She looked at Morph and kissed him softly. "You were very nice." she said, laying a hand on the boys back as he slept and smiled happily.
Spicy Marmalade! Now that it's exploded into being, seize hold of this evening's chance.

Morph smiled calmly in response to Elijah’s thanks, watching with a kind expression as the small Toyger seemed to give into happiness and exhaustion. He set the clippers down on the low table and looked over Elijah once more. Removing the bloody spikes from his collar has certainly improved Elijah’s overall appearance. He still gave off the impression of being quite worn around the edges, but at least he didn’t look so heartbreaking. Morph sighed softly, looking up at his fiancée when she spoke and returning her kiss. He then leaned against her gently, looking down at the sleeping kit and sliding an arm around Ara’s waist. “I try.” He chuckled quietly, smiling tenderly down at the Toyger in her lap. “So were you.” He murmured to her. He looked up at Aranyani again and smiled wider, nuzzling against her shoulder affectionately. “Can we keep him?” He asked, his eyes twinkling, his smile very apparent in his voice, knowing that that was exactly what Ara had in mind the moment she walked through the door.
