Theodore was a mauvian who strove to look his absolute best. Miss Prissy couldn't have a familiar that looked like he rummaged through the garbage thank you very much.
He was carefully grooming himself in front of the vanity mirror in the pinkette's room before he was lifting a paw to righten the top hat that rested between his ears. For the most part it stayed in place, but every now and then it would slip and muss up his fur.
The bow tie was much easier to fix, and he stretched up to adjust it when he thought he had seen the mirror rippling.
Okay, that was probably just his --
Theodore made the mistake of pressing a paw against the glass only to find that it wasn't solid like it was supposed to be. He didn't get to even meow when the mirror ate him.
Everything else was a bit of a blur to his frustration and the small persian pushed himself onto his furry butt when he woke in a place that he didn't recognize. His head felt very light and to his horror he realized he was without his hat!
"My hat!" He gasped, springing to his paws and scurrying around the dark space in search of it.

Truthfully, Caia had no idea how he’d gotten here. He had been in the park one moment, seen a light behind him, and before he’d even managed to turn and see where it had come from, he was here.
He didn’t have any idea that he’d wandered too close to a well-hidden mirror, or that it had sucked him in; all he knew was that one minute he knew where he was, and now he didn’t.
When Caia fell into the room, he didn’t land on his feet; he didn’t even know that he was falling until he landed on his rear, sprawled awkwardly on the floor.
He didn’t think he’d hit his head, but he saw stars anyway. And white walls, with strange smoke that seemed like it was choking on itself, ever fading in and out of existence. If smoke was rolling, he vaguely registered that it must mean there was an air flow, or a way out, but all he could think about was how much his tailbone hurt, so instead of doing anything else, he flopped backwards and rubbed at it with a little groan.
He’d heard a voice, but it didn’t register who was even speaking, or what had actually been said—‘Meat? Me eat? My at? Nyat? (Was that a word?)
The Super Senshi couldn’t make sense of it so he bit his lip and tried to look around even as he lay on the floor. “Hello?” he asked uncertainly as he tried to locate the speaker. “—What did you say?”

Fog swirled around him, almost burying him with it's presence. Dark ears twitched at the sound of someone fumbling - falling? -- down and he turned in a quick circle. Pink eyes darted this way and that and his claws flexed more than once as if to prepare him for any sort of attacker.
He didn't know where he was or what might be coming at him.
"Who's there?!" He hissed, tail lashing back and forth anxiously.
Skittering Theodore nearly ran face first into red boots. Forcing his little paws to skid to a halt he tilted his head back and narrowed his eyes.
"Looking for my hat." He snapped, registering this person as a senshi but the wrong kind. That made him inferior to the mauvian. "Have you seen my hat?"
Once he found his hat he could start accusing ginger of being at fault for this weird place.

Cais’s initial response was a drawn out, “Uhh,” as if it took him a second to recall his name. It did, if only because for a split second he forgot if he was Myles or Caia.
“I’m Caia, Super Senshi of Cardinals,” he answered after a quick check to confirm he was wearing his Senshi uniform. He blinked when his eyes focused on a cat and he couldn’t help but feel a little surge of excitement. Order cats, chaos cats, big cats, small cats, fat cats, skinny cats, all cats, he just wanted to scoop up and steal away, or try to fit them into his pocket.
“I haven’t seen any hats,” he added, ignoring the pain at the base of his spine so he could push himself into a seated position. He glanced around the room once more, looking for anything hat-like. When he didn’t see anything immediately, he scooted to the side so the cat could check around where he had landed. “Did I land on it?” he asked as he moved, peering over his shoulder as he moved.

I haven't seen any hats.
Ears drooped and the small cat's whole body appeared to wilt at the knowledge. Thedore hadn't even retained anything else Caia might have said to him as he was too fixed on the fact that he had lost his hat.
Again.
And this time there wasn't even another cat to blame.
"You need to find my hat." Theodore huffed, looking up at the senshi with big, sad pink eyes. "My hat must be here. It's very, very important to me." He was beginning to sound more and more distressed.

Caia faltered; he knew that he probably wasn’t responsible for any missing hat, but still he felt guilty. “I’ll help you look,” he promised, but added, “I just fell down here though, and I didn’t see any hats on the way in. What does yours look like? Maybe it will help us find it if I know what color it is.”
He rubbed at his back for a second more before he pushed himself up into a standing position and glanced around.
“Or, maybe if it isn’t in here, it could have fallen off before you got into this room?”
This room with no doors or holes anywhere that he could see. He glanced down at the cat. “How did you get in here, again? –Where were you before?”

"I need my hat." Theodore huffed, tail lashing back and forth around him as he scurried back and forth to no avail.
The guardian was almost positive that his hat had fallen in first.
Oh no.
What if-
But what if.
What if his hat was forever lost into this mirror space.
Theodore started yowling, clearly distraught over the mere possibility that he would he a cat forever without his signature hat. Caia's foot was close enough that he draped himself over it and reached a paw out to dig claws into the man's calf. "I am nothing without my hat." kyuseisha no hikari oh my god he's so dramatic

Though Caia found himself nodding along as the Mauvian proclaimed his need for his hat, the nod slowly turned into him shaking his head back and forth when the cat proclaimed he was nothing without his hat.
The claws in his calf almost yelp in pain; instead he managed to lean closer to the cat and carefully grip the cat’s paw as he tried to pull it—and the claws—away from his leg. “That’s not true,” he insisted, “You’re still you even without your cat! But I’ll help you look for it. We’ll find it if it’s in here, and if it isn’t in here, I’m sure it’s just wherever you were before we got…here.”
He swallowed back the noise of pain that threatened to erupt as he continued to try and dislodge the claws. “I didn’t quite get your name—maybe we can start there? And then you can tell me where you were, or what was going on before all of this—and then when we get out, I can help you look for it outside?”

"No you don't understand," Theodore yowled dramatically, furry body lain across the booted foot like a distraught woman fallen across her bed with one paw pressed against his forehead.
"I. Am. Nothing." His little head tossed back dramatically. "Without my hat."
He was just another cat, albeit a bow tie wearing cat but that wasn't even unique anymore. (Stupid hipsters.) "What kind of cat am I without my hat? Just another common, class-less creature with no dignity!"
There was a sharp intake of breath like he was going to cry, his chest puffing up as he rolled on Caia's foot, this time grasping at his calf with both paws, with extended claws.
"Caiaaaaaa," Theodore cried (see he remembered the name, even if he hadn't acknowledged it! a proper cat remembered all names after all). "I am less without out it. It's like-- It's like me letting someone call me Theo," he sounded incredibly disgusted when he dared to say such an ugly butchering of his name. "I am Theodore and I am a dapper cat when I have my hat. Without it, I am almost a ruffian who might enjoy being called Theo as if that's a proper name for anyone. Let along someone of my high breed!"

With Theodore sprawled out as he was, Caia had a perfect view of his fluffy stomach and it was so hard not to just drop to his knees and pet the cat. He chewed on his lip as he listened to Theodore’s wailing.
He didn’t comment that he thought Theo was still a very classy, albeit slightly cuter name; he feared worsening Theodore’s dread.
“It’ll be okay,” he insisted again. “Your hat is probably just safe outside of this little room and you’ll be reunited with it again. And if not, I’m certain there are plenty of hats for you to wear that will perfectly epitomize your classy, dapper nature. Is there something special about your hat? Where did you get it?” he asked, hoping that a distraction or conversation might at least allow Theo—Theodore—to stop worrying so much.
There was nothing Caia could do now if the hat wasn’t here, but he empathized greatly and wanted nothing more than to see the little cat at peace and reunited with his treasure. He was hopeful that they could find it, just…not here, unless there was some secret area they hadn’t yet been able to locate.Nuxaz I am sorry this took so long! ;;

If cat's could cry, Theodore would have been crying atop his yowling.
"I AM NOTHING WITHOUT MY HAT CAIA!" The small cat screeched, the sound echoing in the tiny space. "It is not just any hat, it is my hat." He couldn't understand why the senshi didn't get that. The hat was special and important because it was his. Any old replacement hat would not do!!
"But what if it's not?" He had rolled over onto his belly and was using his claws to climb up Caia's leg and stretch his furry little body as far as it could go. "What if it is lost forever?"
Would Dia still love him without his signature hat that matched the rest of him and her lovely, beautiful senshi form?
"It matches the best senshi in the whole wide world Caia. Without it I am just another cat."
kyuseisha no hikari i just have to keep apologizing for him.

Concern flashed across Caia’s face with more intensity. “No, no,” he tried to soothe, “That’s not true! You’re not nothing without it. But, I’m sure your hat is perfect and wonderful and beautiful, and I’m sure it’s not lost forever!”
He tried desperately to ignore the claws and the climbing up his leg, but he reached down to try and dually pet Theodore while also prying him from his leg.
“We’ll find it, I swear! If it matches the best Senshi in the whole wide world, I’m sure that means that you’re destined to have it, and if you’re supposed to have it then it means you will, so even if it is lost, it’ll come back to you! As soon as we get out of here, I’ll help you look, okay? I promise, we’ll find it! You just have to have a little faith, okay?”
He seemed desperate to try and reassure the cat in any way he could think; the concern was contagious and Caia suddenly found himself feeling faintly frantic.
What if they never found his hat? What would they do?

"Caaaaaaaiiiiaaaaaa," he mewled, batting at the senshi's hand. "What if it's lost to the void forever?" When the ginger tried to pry him off, he clung harder, claws pressing further to keep himself latched. If he could have crawled all the way up into the kid's arms, he would have.
As it were, he stayed painfully latched to Caia's leg.
"BUT WHAT IF IT DOESN'T COME BACK?" He wailed, pink eyes wide when he tipped his furry head back. "What if we can't find it?"
He sniffled, butting his head against Caia's knee, desperate for reassurance.
"I'm just another cat...without my hat."

Caia was starting to feel a little frantic but forced himself to shake his head and remain optimistic. “You’re not another cat!” he insised. “You are fantastic and wonderful and amazing, and the hat doesn’t make you special, you do!”
He tried again to carefully pry Theodore from his leg, but now it wasn’t just to stop the pain, it was to try and hold him—to try and console him.
“But you have to have a little faith, you can’t focus on the bad! If you do that, it’s only going to get in your way of a happy ending! And your hat is at your happy ending, so I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure you get it back, okay? So let’s brainstorm where it could be, and we’ll make a gameplan. We’ll find your hat, and you will be as good as new—no, better than ever—really soon, okay? Just have faith. We’re going to find it, I won’t rest until we do. Okay?” he asked hopefully, offering a reassuring smile.

This time, Theodore allowed Caia to pluck him from where he stretched out, kneading into a poor leg.
"Ca-ca-caiaaaaaaa," he sniffled, burrowing his furry nose into the ginger's neck as his relatively small cat frame deflated against the senshi. "M-my hat makes me s-stand out. I need." He insisted.
Without it he was just another darkly colored persain who could be mistaken for a poor breed. He was the best and he needed to look the appropriate part.
"You need to find my hat," his sad voice demanded, before he quietly added. "Please."
