The rest of the world calls it origami, but what's the mystique in that?

[CRBWildcat]

It's not strictly origami, Neko-. If anything, that's just a small part of a greater whole.

[KonokoHasano]

Paper manipulation is definitely one of the most interesting skills. It's useful for so many things.

[CRBWildcat]

She used the stuff to help kill a fragment of a dragon's psyche last year. Half of me's proud of her. The other half's still in disbelief.

[KonokoHasano]

Wow, that's some talent there @_@

[CRBWildcat]

I wish I could say I was the one who recognized it. Rei-chan found out about her potential before I did.

[KonokoHasano]

Well hopefully she'll be able to put it to good use.

[CRBWildcat]

Not a doubt in my mind. She's growing up.

And speaking of growing up, I got a little off-topic. *hands Konoko an invitation* That's for the kids' graduation party this coming June. You, Ritsu and Usagi are invited. Don't know yet if Curtis is going to start a thread for that, so if he doesn't we can just say you showed up and call it good.

[KonokoHasano]

*Takes it*

Oh neat, thanks~

[CRBWildcat]

You're welcome.

You know, I miss the old days when I'd just wander around and be a nuisance. Now it's feeling like being Amber's taking the bulk of my time. It's a bit disheartening.

[KonokoHasano]

Well, sometimes you gotta admit that growing up is like that... in a sense. Can't always just be one way~

[CRBWildcat]

Yeah...

Gotta admit, I was starved for attention as a kitten. I'd wander around town and jump on people from out of nowhere full force, just for kicks... it's how I got my moniker "Ambush Cat". Parents didn't really do anything to try and rein me in until they found out that my activities were hurting my grades...

Anyway, my point's that I loved jump-scaring people... still do, in fact. Then after my "Amber" form became semi-permanent, I got married and had kids, and realized just how much trouble my own parents had with me. ()^_^

[KonokoHasano]

Now I can't help but get the mental image an adorable little kitty just pouncing people while giggling. *Snrks*

[CRBWildcat]

So happy that my early life is a source of amusement for you.

[KonokoHasano]

You just gotta learn how to have fun with such things in your past~
