[Oh, this guy is DEFINITELY a cat. That's what Chipp's thinking as he focuses on giving Kagami the scritches requested - even taking a second to try scratching at his jaw like cats seem to like?]
Well, you don't gotta worry 'bout protectin'em too much. Gave'em Swamp Thing for a reason. Just try not to pull'em into danger too much, okay? We all revive here, but I like not havin' to see a flower for them in our flower yard.
["Our" flower yard, of course, because both Chipp and Nenonen are Winter powerholders.]
[Kagami does like it!! He likes it so much that he flops around, trying to lean in and be scritched at the perfect angle. He loves being showered with attention.
But he suddenly stills. There’s no mischievous lilt in his voice when he speaks. He just sounds very sincere.]
I won’t let that happen…mn, I’ll make sure they never have to experience that. No matter what it means for me, I won’t let Nenonen die and become a flower.
[Likewise, Chipp's voice is weirdly soft with just those three words. Probably because, well... he does feel reassured, hearing Kagami say that. He's not usually too good at picking up on little social cues. Things like a change in tone kinda goes over his head when it's subtle. But that? He can believe that from Kagami. ... Probably because, well-]
- Y'know, 's funny. I don't usually get along too good with normal folk like this. Human people and shit. They don't really understand me all too well - and I don't understand them all too well, neither. Faces are hard for me. Mine and other peoples'. Voices, too.
Usually only thing gets me this well are animals. I like'em a lot more than people 'cause of that. But hey - maybe you got somethin' unique 'bout you that makes it all easier on me?
[Oh no…caught! Kagami sits up, eyes panicked, but before he can lie Chipp goes and says that.
His face settles into a shy smile and he laughs sheepishly, stretching his whole body out and not caring that half his torso is dangling over the floor.]
Yeah, maybe! Most humans are so good at lying to themselves and others…so it’s not just you. Playing their game can be a bit exhausting. But I think I like you! Talking to you is easy.
Oh, well it’s a good thing I’m so charming hm~?
[Different!! He has accomplished something. He readjusts himself so he’s curled up again.]
I would be devastated. I can’t let that happen, Chipp! Other than Nenonen becoming a flower, that’s the one thing I can’t allow to happen. Have you ever disappointed them?

Guess we’re both unique~

[Chipp pauses for a moment, thoughtfully, as he moves to scratching behind one of Kagami's ears.]
... Guess 's better I didn't do that in the long run. Nenett woulda been pissed.
no subject
[He doesn’t seem too concerned about it. He’s too busy leaning into Chipp’s hand and rubbing his palm with his cheek, smiling lazily.]
Nenonen is so kind… I imagine it would be terrifying to see them pissed. It might even be enough to intimidate you.
no subject
[Frankly, how easily he admits that would probably be concerning if this were anyone but Kagami.
But thankfully, this is Kagami. He's Differentâ„¢.]
... It ain't so much that Nenett's scary when they get mad. They get quiet.
'N I just don't like that much.
They'd be disappointed, too. That ain't somethin' you ever wanna hear in they voice, if you like'em as much as you say.
