Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Sat May 02, 2020 9:10 pm"No. Guess I should though. My clothin' options are pretty damn limited. Nothin' off the rack for this cat."
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Sat May 02, 2020 10:01 pm"I see her head out to the point a lot. Or in the gardens talking to another catboy. Smaller than you but I bet she has experience making him things as they seem pretty friendly. Maybe she could make you all kinds of things actually."
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Sat May 02, 2020 10:38 pm"I'm going to pretend you didn't just indirectly call me a catboy. And yeah, she could. Even a hero costume."
After a second he said like a certain tiny, animated fashion designer, "No capes!"

Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Sun May 03, 2020 12:29 pm"You are literally just arguing to argue so I don't win at this point." Ainsley looked at him over his sketchpad with an expression of mild exasperation mixed with amusement.
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Sun May 03, 2020 6:26 pm"Am not," he said with un-ironic seriousness.
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Sun May 03, 2020 6:40 pm"I had siblings mate. I know the only way to win this game is to not play." He warned, shrinking a bit into his sketchpad.

Posted: Sun May 03, 2020 8:04 pm"Sorry. Not knowing when to quit is pretty much my thing."
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Sun May 03, 2020 8:12 pmAInsley stayed silent. Incredibly silent.
After a few moments, Leo started to get the impression that this is what it was like for everyone else around Ainsley.

Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Sun May 03, 2020 9:43 pmThe silence was so total that Leo's fear of rejection began to pull at its rusty chains.
"So you get a little annoyed and that's it? The silent treatment?" he asked accusingly, an edge of paranoia on his voice.

Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Mon May 04, 2020 1:59 amAinsley looked confused, and now he was silent just because he didn't know what else to say.
After several long moments of confused staring, he offered- "Sorry mate?"

"Nothing."
"You okay? Looked like you zoned out there."

Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Mon May 04, 2020 3:08 pm"Well at first I was funning you, but then that happened so I was quiet because I didn't know how to respond." Ainsley replied, clearly not going to let Leo weasel out of this so easily.
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Mon May 04, 2020 3:29 pmLeo seemed to get a little less huge.
"God... I probably sound like a clingy girlfriend..." he said, deeply embarrassed.

Posted: Tue May 05, 2020 12:47 am"Yea, a little mate. He replied in earnest.
"Just a reminder, again: I can't actually speak. Most people experience silence from me.
If I'm quiet, it isn't because I'm mad. I'm disabled Leo."

Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Tue May 05, 2020 2:19 pm"Fuuuck, now I'm an asshole too," he groaned, falling onto his back as if dying of embarrassment.
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Tue May 05, 2020 10:55 pmAinsley shimmied from his spot closer to Leo, not saying anything.
Until he got close enough to reach out and boop his nose.
"Boooooooooooooop."

Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Tue May 05, 2020 11:39 pmLeo turned his perplexed cat face on Ainsley.
"Did you really just 'boop' me?" he asked with a trace of a smile that he was clearly fighting.

Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 12:34 amAinsley did it again without the sound effect this time, leaving his hand on the other boy's nose.
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 12:58 amHe pushed the hand away.
"Dude. Quit it," he chuckled.

Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 1:15 amAinsley made a reach like he was doing to do it again, but pulled back his hand quickly without making contact, just to see how Leo would react.
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 1:43 amLeo had bared his teeth in warning, but his eyes made it clear that he wasn't serious.
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 1:56 amAinsley leant out and did it anyways, laying his hand gently on Leo's snoot, as if to dare him.
Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 7:29 pmLeo's bestial side should have been getting agitated, but it seemed Ainsley had at some point tamed it. It would be happy to be this one's pet.
Confused by this, Leo rolled on his other side. "Just stop, okay?"

Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 7:48 pmAinsley pulled his hand away and shrugged.
"Sure thing. Sorry mate." He didn't seem put out
by being told to stop, picking up his sketch pad again to go back to work.

"I'm just... not sure my animal side won't bite," he lied.

Re: Ainsley's Lion
Posted: Thu May 07, 2020 12:29 am"Oh, I'm not scared of that." He replied pretty confidently.
"But it's your body and therefore your call as to whether or not you are touched."

Posted: Thu May 07, 2020 1:04 am"You need to figure out whether you want people to be scared of you or not mate. This back and forth is giving me whiplash."
