They didn’t fight often. Sure, they argued all the time, but they seemed to have gotten past ever being really angry with each other. So when Cue Queue had stalked off into the night, the Kiokote had expected her to return after a short moment spent cooling off. She did not. Once Forgotten waited; knowing that if she didn’t want to be found, there was no way he was going to stumble across her in the dark.
The sun rose and he blinked bleary eyes, barely having slept during the night.
A search of the area proved fruitless, calling did nothing but annoy the local wildlife and his final option, convince a wasp to search out its mistress, was proving exceptionally difficult. But he was determined, and he was soon busy attempting to mime what he wanted to a reluctant insect.

Who knew what thoughts resided within Twice Removed's chitinous skull as the Kiokote flailed strange gestures at it? The only thing that was certain was that they were not happy thoughts, as evinced by his furiously clashing mandibles, and, from the moment his mistress' departure seemed more prolonged than usual, the ever increasing volume of buzzing wings.
When all of a sudden, it all subsided.
Twice Removed seemed abruptly content, the thundering buzz now a low, almost pleasant hum in the air. Yet, the shadow of no Kimeti fell across the glade, only, gliding across the ground, tracking intently a faint rustle in the undergrowth, the slight form of a...strangely familiar-looking...owlcat?

Once Forgotten smiled back; responding to her expression, but also from sheer relief. It felt, oddly enough, like he had passed a test. He’d said the right thing.
Seeing Cue gives a genuine smile was an odd experience, but it was a look the Kiokote decided he liked and although he was still puzzled over her sudden change of appearance, he did not remark on it again. Perhaps later, perhaps not.
"Home? Yes, of course." Home for Forgotten was an odd concept. But, he supposed, right now, home was wherever Cue was. "We'll go home."
