[Hei appears, looking rather irritated, and promptly heads off along the Astral Plane, walking with a purpose and looking like he's searching for something.]

By M11, I think...

[Keeps walking, mostly in silence, though he mutters to himself occasionally. After a bit he comes upon his telescope and his expression darkens. The telescope has been knocked over and is lying on its side. Hei crouches down, sighing heavily.]

This on top of the rest of it...

[Disappears for a moment, coming back with a toolkit and a bag of sandwiches. He settles down and starts going to work on his poor, beat-up telescope.]

[Sandwiches! Massive Cy wants. Have a sneaky massive cat coming up and trying to hook the bag away with a massive sneaky paw.]

[contract_star]

[Yeah, no, not sneaking up on an assassin. Hei grabs the bag and yanks them away from her, not even looking up from his telescope.]

You could ask first.

[Raises an eyebrow, then sighs and pulls a sandwich out of the bag. He holds it out to her.]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[GLOM. And his entire hand is in her mouth.]

[contract_star]

[OMFG but at least he knows enough not to try and yank his hand out.]

I kind of need my hand...

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Mmmfgh, sssffff knnnn. [Still with mouth full of hand.]

[contract_star]

[Okay yeah, massive teeth kind of digging into his hand now.]

Cy...

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[But she can't let go of the hand without letting go of the sandwich, which she Won't Do. So she tries to swallow instead.]

[Shun comes over and watches for a minuet or so before speaking] Something happened to your telescope?

[contract_star]

[Oh shit fuck Hei is going to lose his hand and Cy is going to choke.]

Cy, Cy, just let go! You can keep the sandwich! [He really, really doesn't want to have to shock her because she's still just a kitty, even if she's really big right now.]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[MRRRT. SANDWICH.]

[contract_star]

[Doesn't look up at Shun because he's focusing on repairs.]

It must have gotten knocked over in the explosion. All the glass shattered at the bar, too. I meant to come sooner, but I was busy separating realities.

[contract_star]

[Well, no choice now. Hei glows blue and gives Cy a little jolt, just enough to make her mouth go numb for a minute.]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Shun knows theres only been one explosion on the Plane, and who caused it] I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[She yowls and jerks back, probably giving him a couple of gashes on the hand by accident in the process. Out comes most of the sandwich, too, still intact. She hunkers down away from him, giving him a nervous look.]

Coulda said you didn't want to share.

[contract_star]

[Hei winces and grips his now-bleeding hand. He watches her with a calculating look for a moment, but then he just heaves a sigh.]

I didn't want to share my hand. Go ahead and eat the sandwich.

Hold on...[Poofs out and reappears, this time with disinfectant and bandages. And he goes about trying to fix up his hand.]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Curls up a little, shoulders hunched, still watching him warily.] Don't wannit.

[contract_star]

[Looks up at him this time and smiles a little.] Why? Not like it was your fault. And, no offense, but I doubt it--unless you know a lot about telescopes.

[contract_star]

[Watching her with a bit of a frown, still wrapping up his hand.]

I didn't hurt you badly, did I?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Hunkers down and doesn't say much, just makes little rumbling noises to herself.]

[contract_star]

I'm sorry. I thought you were going to swallow my hand.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[To herself.] No call for it, no call... No call. Why no call?

[contract_star]

[A bit concerned now.] Cy, it's alright... He reaches out with his uninjured hand, palm toward her as if inviting her to sniff.]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

No! [She jumps away, giving a little midair twist like she's trying to put more distance between them.] Not again, not again, not the wires, please...
