Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Guardian Cat hummed merrily in a counter tune to whatever it was the little boy was coming up with as her winning friend walked them to the zoo. Distance didn't matter much to her, particularly since he was lettering her hitch a ride the entire way there! For a tiime they moved through the bushes undetected... but then a strong hand pushed aside the bushes. A security guard looked both of the interlopers straight in the face as he huffed, "Hey... what are you doing here?"

Horatio squealed, moving her muzzled close to Massalia's ear so she could whisper a quick, "Run!" She then launched herself from the boy's shoulder, claws bare as she landed... on the security guard's leg. Okay, not as dramatic as the face or the chst would have been, but better than nothing!

She quickly worked to climb, clinging hard so she wouldn't get kicked off as the man shoted and shook his leg about. It was like... extreme Hokey Pokey, and Horatio was all about that! She just hoped the Chibi Senshi could get himself to a hiding place before her distraction wore off. She'd have to teach him how to power down much sooner than she thought!

The zoo guard dealt with all sorts of critters, but this was kind of ridiculous! He managed to get the fluffy beastie off, but as soon as she could she darted away! He clicked on his radio, "Hey. Yeah, it's Rodney. Gotta one of them... terrorists, I think, out here. The wall near the coyotes. Yeah, I'll see if I can find them again. There was a stray cat, too, so you might need to call aninmal control."

It took Horatio a little while to find the tree, but the whimper was a dead give away that this little game of hideand go seek was over! The Himalayan shimmied her way up the tree, and by the time she reached the branch on which Massalia was sitting, she was huffing and puffing. Her teal eyes ran over his form to be sure he was alright before she wheezed, "Okay... phew... need to do more climbing and build more cardio endurance but anyway. Before he comes back... you gotta turn back to normal. OKay, to do that all you have to do is think about you - the you before you became Massalia. Think you can do that? I do! It'll be easy - go on, try it! The security guard won't recognize you if you change back!"

Horatio waited excitedly until the little boy appeared in the same teal uniform he had been wearing whenever she had originally met. Certain that the security guard wasn't back yet, the Guardian Cat completed her duties by pulling out the Senshi celluar phone, much as she had with the hensin pen earlier. "See this? This is how you can call and text other Senshi like you--maybe you can even compare butt bows! Neat, right?"

Horatio thought about the kid's offer--for about five seconds. "Okay, I can visit for a little while! When we get to your house, can I have some tuna or salmon before I go home? I'm feeling pretty hungry after all of this awakening stuff." She flopped in his arms contentedly, giving a languid stretch.
