[Nepeta and Lilly are standing out in front of Freya's Welcome Hall, looking a bit tired out but - in Nepeta's case at least - very satisfied at a job well done.

There are crudely-drawn posters stuck not-quite-straight on the walls behind them, some of them depicting a blond little girl and the others a woman with masses of dark hair.

They've just finished sticking them in front of not only their god house, but every single one in Asgard, along with placing them on random walls along the way, so it's very likely that some Travelers have already run across them.

Yes, it took a while.]

Ahem. Attention efurrybody purrlease! This is really impurrtant!

These are Lilly's Mama and her sister Victoria.

[She points at the posters behind them.]

We don't know if they're here and we don't think they are yet, but if anyone sees them or meets them if they arrive, let them know Lilly is waiting for them! She'll be here at Freya house, okay?

Thank you!

((ooc: responses may come from either or both of them!))

Well, it's like mama cats and kittens! I think it works out pretty well for them, really.

[alternia_strength]

They appear to prefer it, yes. [He almost makes a comment about how it justifies Sollux's attitude that they're lesser creatures, one shared by a few of their kind. He remembers, though, that it is something he's supposed to be working on.]

Regardless, I think I can keep an eye out for this person's lus...mother.

[bestestfurrend]

[Good Equius. Nepeta is kind of impressed how much he's improved.

Also she'd simply have pointed out that this is how hoofbeasts work too. He can't exactly argue with that.]

Thank you! It'll mean a lot to her, and it does to me too.

[alternia_strength]

[He still relapsed. A lot. It was an old habit he simply couldn't break. They were lesser species, but he'd convinced himself to work with them, and recognized flaws in his own. He considered this an improvement.]

I think you know which of those two matters to me most, but a companion of yours is, I believe, a companion of mine.

[bestestfurrend]

Heehee, yes, I do. And that's good to know! Lilly's a lot like me when I was little, really.

[alternia_strength]

We should find her mother quickly in that case. She is still quite young by her species' standards, after all.

[bestestfurrend]

She is. At least there are a lot of people around in Freya to keep an eye on her, and I go over there pretty often too.

[alternia_strength]

Ah, she is in Freya? Yes. Your house tends to have the protective sorts, does it not? I expect she will not lack for protection even beyond yourself.

[bestestfurrend]

She is! And that's true, I never really thought of it before but we do tend to be like that, don't we?

[alternia_strength]

My expectation is that this is related to the maternal and amorous instincts common to Freya. You're natural protectors, which makes it unfortunate that the power you are granted isn't quite so helpful in actual combat.

[bestestfurrend]

Pfft, I am purrfectly able to fight without the help of any powers.

[alternia_strength]

I am well aware of that. I think, however, that some of your fellows are a bit less capable of this, which is unfortunate for them. To have the will but not the ability.

[bestestfurrend]

Well, there are always other things they can do to help people out, right?

[alternia_strength]

There are. I just wish that they would be able to protect them as they would prefer. It would be good if they could do that, would it not?

[bestestfurrend]

It would be. [She sighs.] But everyone does the best they can with what they've got, I guess.

[alternia_strength]

Well, I will not question their devotion. I've seen little reason to doubt it... Perhaps self defense courses might be valuable... Too many ideas, too little time.

[bestestfurrend]

I'm sure there are already some of those! We can't do everything ourselves.

[alternia_strength]

Hmmmph. In the end, you are right. I cannot personally accomplish everything at once. I only have four limbs after all.
