Skylar: "He will be," she muttered, side-eyeing the cat. She sighed. "No, he's Mein Fuhrer's. But you love me the best, don't you? Yes you do!" she said, her voice going high again as he flopped over on the bed between him, purring intensifying as she rubbed his belly with her fingertips, knitting them into the insanely thick fluffy fur.
She took a break from petting for a moment as Jane took over the petting so Mr. Whiskers wouldn't get offended. She used the opportunity to twirl her hair around and whisk it up, securing it with an alligator clip she'd brought out as a potential use in styling Jane's hair. She let go and it tumbled down a bit, springing around it. She went back to scritching the kitten (he would always be a kitten to her,) poking him in his rotund little belly.

"Is there anything else I can--"
Conrad peeked in the room. He heard conversation and the door was open, so he could only hope everyone was decent, and thankfully everyone was-- but what he saw was almost worse.
Two very cute, made-up girls wearing dresses and petting that adorable abomination of a cat. It was too much. Just. Way too much.
"I-uh-" he swallowed hard, averting his eyes pointedly to his feet. "You guys-girls, I mean, look really cute," he managed. THERE ARE GIRLS IN THIS HOUSE. ACTUAL GIRLS. He began slinking away. He wanted to be sure he could get something if they needed it, but also he wasn't at all sure that he could handle looking at them for much longer.

Jane diligently rubbed the cat's head and only quit when she heard a voice in the hallway. She looked up to see a very stressed looking Conrad. She momentarily wondered what was wrong before realizing that he was a boy, they were both girls, and the problem couldn't be anymore obvious. Red crept up her cheeks at his compliment. She looked back down at the fluffball in front of her, hoping Skylar would make up for her awkwardness.

Skylar: She couldn't help but grin to herself at Conrad's reaction. She had discovered his weakness some time ago by accident. She didn't necessarily purposely torture him, but he was flustered so easily. And he was so cute when he was flustered. And she was pretty much 200% sure he did like seeing them, he just felt it was inappropriate, which if this "society" thing ever got going again, he would need to get over.
Besides, she wanted to show off how cute he was to Jane.
"Actually, Conrad," she called out to the hallway, could you very please get us a snack? Jane is still hungry."

Conrad fidgeted but managed a smile when he peeked back into the room.
"Of course!" he said brightly, eager to have a reason to leave for a minute without being rude. "I'll be right back."
He dashed down the stairs, fighting off a flurry of emotion, before dashing to the kitchen and grasping the counter as if he'd run a mile- or more likely about five miles for him. Running a mile would have been easier for him than seeing the sight he'd just witnessed.
After giving himself a minute to catch his breath and calm the hell down he opened a few cupboards and eventually found some dried fruit that he personally had liked. Skylar had once gone into a rage about the strawberries though, so he only snagged the apples, apricots and peaches canisters before making his way upstairs again.
You can do this you can do this you can do this frick they're adorable you can do this you can do this
"Here we are!" he announced as he entered the room again. "I personally like these. The strawberries and bananas are downstairs." He said 'bananas' with such a ferocity that you would think a bunch of bananas had murdered his family in cold blood. "I like the strawberries a lot actually, but Skylar's allergic. Soooo."

She didn't know why Skylar had said that. She wasn't really- okay yeah she was pretty hungry. She hadn't been a huge eater a few years ago, but something about not eating for weeks on end could really change a girl, and she ate at every chance she got. Managing to get her blush in check, she asked the other girl, "So is he like that all the time?" She liked looking nice, yet she wasn't sure it was worth a scene like that every time.
She chewed at her nail until Conrad came back up again with the fruits of his labor (she laughed internally at that one). She thanked him and gave the kitty a last pat. As soon as she got a package in her hand she started scarfing it down. Until she realized how bad that looked. She succeeded in controlling her appetite and resumed eating calmly. She could do this, she once sat through a six hour video shoot with nothing but water. The apricots tasted so good though, it pained her to not stuff her face.

Skylar: "He absolutely is. I warned you he was a rabbit! But don't worry. He doesn't actually mind, he just gets flustered." She pulled a face when he got bak and started talking about strawberries. The problem was that she DID like them - she just couldn't have them. Still, she wasn't going to take the food away from Jane, so really he could have stuck whatever in there.
She picked Mr Whiskers up, snuggling him close. He struggled faintly, almost on principle, but his purring deceived him.
"Wanna see something super cute?" She asks the other girl as she finished her snack.

Jane set the empty canister down and adjusted her skirt. Nodding hesitantly, she replied, "Sure?"

Skylar picked up the pair of jeans she'd discarded, digging around in one of the pockets. Mr. Whiskers was already watching her curiously, as though he knew what was coming. She drew out what looked like a flattened piece of fluff on a string. She fluffed it out to reveal a tiny pink mouse. Mr. Whiskers jumped up immediately, eyes wide and tail twitching. Skylar stood, laughing a little and dangled it over him on the bed. He immediately leapt up, paws stiff and flailing. He landed on his back and wiggled frantically, flipping over and charging the offending toy fiercely.
She bounced it around for a few minutes, the cat getting wilder and wilder in its attacks, his eyes perpetually wide as though surprised. Eventually he finally caught it, rolling on his back again and chewing victoriously at his prize. Skylar extricated it with care, only getting a small accidental scratch for her troubles. She offered the string out to Jane.
"Do you want to try?"

Jane didn't understand how the adorable fluff ball could get even cuter, but somehow he did. She watched Skylar pull the toy back and forth, and soon she felt her eyelids droop. While she really wanted to play with the kitty, a sudden yawn reminded her of the day she'd had. She looked apologetically at Skylar and declined. "I um, I really think some sleep would do me good. If that's okay!" She didn't want to offend the other girl, especially since they'd seemed to be getting along. As she packed up her bag, she added, "We should have another makeover again. Soon!" Sooner was always better nowadays. You never knew when the the chance would pass.

Skylar: "Oh! Of course! Sorry, I forget sometimes - it's fine, I fell asleep pretty quick on my first day too." She failed to mention eating their entire store of pancakes first. She scooped up the kitty and carefully shut the door, leaving Jane to her own devices. She continued down the hallway, spinning once, which earned a protesting yowl from Mr. Whiskers. She did it again, half because she though he was funny and half because she loved twirling in this dress. At the end of the hallway she found Conrad exiting a room.
"Ah, hello!" she said, offering the fluff to him, "Do you want to take him for a while? I don't want to get cat hair all over this dress, however much of a cutie muffin he may be." She figured she might as well stay in the clothes for a while. However things may look to be changing with Jane around here, it wasn't every day she got a makeover.

He nodded, taking the pile of fluff from her and holding him close to his chest, making a platform for the cat's feet with his hand. The cat began immediately rubbing his face on Conrad's jaw, purring louder than a hive of honeybees.
"Is she set?" he asked, pointing at the door Jane had retreated to just before Skylar closed the door to Lorna's master suite. "Or...?"
After she replied, he nodded. Then he said, "Do you think she'll stay here? Like you did?"

She forced a laugh as Skylar left, then flopped on her back. This wasn't her "room" though, so she willed herself to sit back up and grab both her backpack and the pile of clothes. She somehow managed to free up on arm and pushed up onto her good foot. While hobbling through the hall, she noticed the other girl and Conrad talking. The distraction made her stumble and she swung her focus back to her destination.
She finally made it to her room and quickly dropped all of her supplies. After locking the door, she scooped up her teddy bear and threw herself onto the bed. She barely managed to pull herself under the comforter before her eyelids began drooping shut. She felt safer than she had in months, and she could only smile as she drifted to sleep.

Skylar: "I don't really know," she replied, tucking a loose lock of hair behind her ear. "She seems afraid. But she also seems like she could be happy." She touched her face. She could feel the makeup on it, and it was a sensation she hadn't felt in a very long time. "I hope she stays." she said in the end, boosting herself onto the railing, keeping her legs tucked tight together, mindful that she was still in a skirt.

Conrad nodded and looked back at Jane's door. A smile tugged at the edges of his mouth. "Yeah, I hope so too." ==->
