((hgfkjdshgkjfdsgs it's alright!!!!!!!! tbf i regularly misspell it all the time so it didnt occur to me until now to go "wait. hold on is that *actually* how it spelled"

[She grins at him, then turns and leaves, NOT shutting the door behind her.]
[Xe know that look on his face, he's wanting to slip out, but xe doubts he's really getting that far. May as well leave the door open so xe can hear if he falls over or something.]
[That's her story, she's sticking to it.]

[Huh, since when did Battat have a tail?]
[As soon as Jongler leaves, she turns and winks at him, then taps twice on the top of the machine thingy.]
"(You teach me internet later? Please?)"

[Xe stick her tongue out at him. She thought he was done coming up with completely impossible theories, apparently he was just waiting to come up with a truly ridiculous one!]
"(You stay in bed, we'll bring you food, alright?)"

[Patting his leg comfortingly as Jongler carries him off. Battat isn't usually *this* out there with his theories, he must really be sick!]

[In unison]
"(A copy of what????)"
[Her tail's bottlebrushed.]

[Silently, they hand him a fork, and then sign to Jongler.]
"(Did you see him yesterday come back inside?)"
[Then, as a second thought,]
"(Which pippins? Wouldn't we know?)"

"(Pippins?)"
[She believes him about it slashing at him, but eating a pippins? *That's* the part xe doesn't get.]
[Their tail twitches with morbid curiosity. Who would even put a pippins in their mouth to begin with?]

[Xe follow behind them, tail thrashing, and immediately take the opportunity to rub up against Battat's chest as soon as Jongler has his head pinned.]
[He doesn't seem injured, though? They pause, just long enough to ask-]
"(What happened?)"
[-before she returns to nuzzling him.]

"🔊📢🎶💥‼️‼️‼️"
[She turns to stare at him as well, fur bristling.]
