ohhh ok. i'm Bomb 🤍

youʾre ... very oddly insistent about this.ᐣ

❪ youʾre trying to work out what their goal is here. they just really want to see you as a cat.ᐣ ❫

❪ you politely shake your head. ❫

iʾm okay. but˒ um ... i suppose i canʾt stop you from indulging yourself if thatʾs what youʾd like.

u─uh.

❪ that blinding counterʾs 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 coming back to bite you. ❫

maybe˒ something like that.

none taken˒ i guess.

❪ youʾre not sure youʾd like that many of you either. one siffrin is more than enough. ❫

this just seems like a bad idea.ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ

❪ something within you lights up ... like stars in the night sky. ❫

if ... if you feel ready˒ then ... i would love nothing more.

... are you really going to 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 a vial of mysterious fluid someone or some-𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 gave you.ᐣ

.ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ

❪ okay. thereʾs a lot to process here. ❫

what ❛ thing.ᐣ ❜ you can change into an animal.ᐣ what in the world is a ❛ 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯.ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ ❜

❪ bah. another color youʾve never heard of ... did you miss mention of it in the book about color theory.ᐣ ❫

... venus.

❪ nod. ❫

it sounds lovely.

... i learned a lot about myself in dormont. thanks to them˒ of course──our party──but ... thanks to you˒ too.

iʾm only telling you what weʾve both needed to hear˒ i guess; after all˒ if anyone knows you better than you˒ itʾs me.

if youʾre more comfortable with this iteration of you˒ then ... after serious consideration ... donʾt be afraid to change˒ okay.ᐣ

and˒ if you end up resonating with something different ... you can always change again.

as many times as you want˒ right.ᐣ

❪ ... you nod˒ understandingly; youʾve been there before. isa and mirabelle have too˒ in their own ways ... ❫

iʾm glad˒ then ... that youʾre still learning about new traits of yours. qualities that you didnʾt even know existed until you started looking.

AHAHA the idea that siffrin gets so flustered it brings out the red in them 😭😭😭

❪ it must be hard for loop˒ you think ... to have it all ripped away from you against your will not merely once˒ but twice. itʾs why you canʾt hold a grudge within reason; theyʾve suffered too much. ❫

❪ ... you only want to see them happy. ❫

❪ you never considered that loop would want to orient themself with a fundamentally feminine name. maybe youʾre a bad person. ❫

that˒ uh ... sounds great.ᐟ really.ᐟ iʾd love that ... for you to find who and what you want your new self to be˒ i mean.

it would be non-canon unfortunately...

my only regret is that i said ass when i could've used crabbing or blinding instead

❪ you think of ❛ call loop ❜ and smirk to yourself. a nice ring indeed. ❫
