Huh. So you don't want these?

[She dumps out like a whole box of choco pies and the Hell version of strawberry cream flavoured kitkats.]

I never said I didn't want them!

[wow, don't accuse her of not wanting food.]

But you really came prepared.

[She settles down cross-legged in the pillow nest with some jerky, tail waving back and forth.]

I mean, I kinda thought we could, I dunno. . . stay the night? There's all that craziness going on with the extra units, and. . .

[Smooths a chunk of hair out of her face with her claws, almost bashful. So maybe she doesn't just mean sleeping...]

[she pulls open the wrapper for the melon pan, seems to react to that.]

I think we should. It'd be a good-- I dunno... break? For both of us.

Exactly. You gonna come sit, or what?

[she scoots next to her, til they are right next to each other. she will, eventually, buy memories but.]

I'm sitting, aren't I?

[Wraps her arms around Aster and rubs their cheeks together with a purr.]

[she counter nuzzles for a second, and then slips her arms around her waist.]

[SHE'S NOT GONNA SAY IT.

BUT SHE'S GONNA THINK IT.]

[so cute.]

[If it's up to her this is pretty much all they'll do for the next 24 hours, and memories will be conveniently forgotten...]

[while she likes the sound of that...

she does start to rub her thumb lightly over her shirt.]

So... are you gonna play it?

Play. . .?

You, uh. You wanted me to go first?

... Do you want me to go first?

[she offers, supportive.]

. . .No. I can do it.

[She sucks in a breath and punches the purchase into her phone before she loses her nerve -- and just a short, quick memory plays. But hey, at least she finally remembers Prime...]

[uh.

that-- that is creepy and she Does Not Like it.

she looks, worried, at Catra.]

I really hate him.

[It sure is, she's still rubbing her arms, smoothing down the slightly raised fur.]

You think I don't?

. . .I think I knew it wasn't gonna end well, even then.

Well...

[she leans her head against hers. that place obviously wasn't the Fright Zone, Adora's not even sure there was a good way for that to end.]

At least you got away from him. Even if he still found his way to Etheria.

[She sighs, leaning into her.]

That was probably more you than me. Since I was dead or not dead or whatever.

. . .I'm fine. That wasn't a big deal, just sorta -- rattled me, at the time, I guess. You wanna go now?

... Okay.

[well, she has to purchase the memory--

and then press play.

It's her first directly negative memory between her and Catra, after leaving the Horde, and there are a lot of-- not great feelings that she's suddenly getting hit with.]

[Oh. She already has this one... it’s weird, seeing it from a different perspective, and she feels a little detached from it. ]

The battle of Brightmoon...

... I really don't like that-- sensation? Feeling?

[it's actually really unpleasant to have your adrenaline go that high suddenly.]

For memories like that.

[A little absently:]

I got promoted for that. Second in command —- I don’t know if you ever knew that.

... I can guess why.

[she sighs.]

You were really leaning into it.

Oh, what, like you weren’t, “Hero”?

If I didn’t perform then I’d be ordered executed. Which basically happened, by the way.

Yeah, but "until darkness covers Etheria?"

Come on, Catra. You didn't have to say that.

... And what do you mean that basically happened?

[Pushing herself away from Aster to look at her more directly. ]

Seriously? You’re mad about some dramatic line and not that I set the castle on fire?
