Nita giggled quietly at the 'fuzzy' comment, since she had thought just about the exact same thing. "I found a couple of good books about Asian animals, lots of information and nice pictures. Except if I try to think about what I might look like later, my brain breaks."
She flinched at the cracking sound. Dratted twitchy animal. "What, no more research on Quetzalcoatl?" she joked.

"Eh, they gave me a whole book on him. That's back in my room." With a bit of an effort, Cassidy relaxed her body. Squeezing the branch too hard was rather painful for her, too. "But I understand not wanting to know what you'll look like later..."
She sighed a little, but smiled. "I'm sorry. I've had a rather rough couple of days. I'm not sure I'm really myself right now."

"It's not so much that I don't want to know, more like if I think about it too much, it's just weird."
Nita cocked her head to the side and raised her eyebrows questioningly. "Yeah? What's going on?" Shifting her weight slightly to get more comfortable, she scratched at a bit of dirt on her jeans. It was definitely time to do laundry again.

Cassidy shook her head. "It's... it's nothing, I guess. Yesterday was just seriously bad... I was mistaken for a regular snake and nearly throttled, and then Vasile came and talked to me... he's my boyfriend... I mean, he was, because apparently he's gay now." She made a small, disgruntled hissing noise. "Which I would have appreciated knowing six months ago but he's talking like this is all of a sudden and--" Cass stopped.
"I'm sorry," she said, with a guilty cough. "You don't care about this, do you?"

Nita's brows shot up. Nearly throttled and dumped? "Wow," she murmured. "I'm pretty sure that counts as something." She shook her head slowly. "Vasile? Was he the guy with you at the beach bar that one night?""
She shook her head and smiled sympathetically. "No need to be sorry. And I do care. I don't mind if you need to vent." Her ears twitched again, automatically listening for anything out of the ordinary. "I mean, I don't exactly have experience with that kind of thing, but I'll always listen." She nodded to emphasize her words.

"Yeah, that would be Vasile." Cassidy sighed. "I don't know. Just the way he said it... since his last change, he says. If Moreau somehow managed to turn my boyfriend gay on me, I swear, I'll... I'll. Goddamn." She shook her head. "I find one little bit of happiness here, and... honestly, maybe it's just an excuse, whatever he says. I'm not exactly going to win any beauty pageants, here." Her voice was unusually bitter, for her. "Although I'm not sure that'd be any better, if that were the case."
She ran her fingers down her temple. "I'm... I appreciate the listening ear. I really do. There's just been no one to yell at, since I made Vasile leave me alone."

Nita frowned, brows furrowed. "Turned him gay? Is that even.. Well, I'd ask if that were even possible, but considering they can turn people into snakes with wings and red pandas and goodness knows what else..." She shrugged and sighed. "Still seems like a bit of a lame excuse though."
She sighed again and shook her head. Poor Cass. "And don't worry, I won't go blabbing or anything."

"Either way, it's completely irrational to be mad at him over his newfound orientation." Cass snorted. "I know that. Hell, my aunt was forty-four when she came out of the closet. But... augh. Now I know how my uncle felt. Just a little."

Nita bit her lip, considering. "It's not exactly something he can help, whether Moreau did it or not." She messed absently with the end of a braid. "You do kind of get the poor end of the deal, though..."

"And it seems like all the guys here are either taken or are not dealing with it well, and have gone all unstable." Cassidy considered this, her tongue flickering again. "Or both. I need cats in large quantities, I guess. Only way for me to go."
She laughed lightly. "I guess I'll live. There'll be someone else, or there won't be. I'll survive, somehow."

Nita sniffed in amusement. "No competition from me, at least. And, awful as it is, I've gathered there are new people showing up pretty often, so maybe a good one will show up for you." She smiled in a reassuring manner. "Of course you'll survive. But a kitty or two certainly wouldn't hurt."

"Wouldn't mind a cat, I guess. Though sometimes... I'm not so sure I couldn't trust myself to, well, not act like a snake."
No competition? Cass tried to decipher this comment. "Have you been seeing someone already, then?"

"I do miss my cats. They're such silly little things."
Nita blushed, inspecting a nearby leaf. Oh yes. Fascinating. "Well, yeah. I mean, it's kind of new, so I don't want to jinx it or anything." She laughed a bit. "But we.. work together, somehow."

Cass made a small squealing noise. "Oooh. I'm happy for you, Nita, I really am. Good luck to the two of you." Nothing really cheered her up quite as much as hearing about someone else being happy. Vasile... she'd deal with Vasile another day, when she could stand to look at him. For now, it was easier just to enjoy this.

Nita grinned, blushing more through her fur. It was nice to tell someone about it. Considering Alec was so clueless when she'd hinted at it. "Thanks. I don't really know where it's going, but it feels right, you know?"
