"I like looking out for you more, though."

Bump. "Thanks."

Lean. "You're the best sister, so I gotta try hard and keep up, you know. Keep my title of second best."

"You're doing all right at that, Lion."

She squeezes El's hand. "Good." And she leans more fully against her sister, resting her head on El's shoulder. "It's a bit weird, but... This isn't that bad a park. Bet this all looks neat when it's properly lit up."

"Yeah, it's got... benches, foliage, playground equipment..."

And a suddenly appearing tiger! Who yelps and falls into a fountain, splashing water everywhere.

And a cat made of lightning, who falls on top of the tiger!

"What the fuck," El says softly.

"What the fuck?" Bellona says, a bit louder.

"Let me up!" whines the tiger, flailing and trying to dislodge the lightning cat, and mostly managing to splash more water everywhere. (The tiger's voice sounds kind of familiar.)

"I would if you would- stop splashing!" The cat's is a familiar brand of tetchy.

She quiets down a bit, grumbling.

The cat hops into the air, sizzling a bit, and flits out of the fountain.

And notices the two observers. "Well hello there."

She jumps out. "Hello!" And squints, tilting her head a bit.

"...Hello?"

"... Hi?"

The cat purrs and rubs up against the tiger.

"Do you think we died and went to heaven, pet?"

She nuzzles the cat, a deep rumbling laugh building in her chest. "I'd expect more pillows and less clothes for that, darling."

Bellona scowls. "Leave off. And this isn't an afterlife." Probably; that'd be a bit outside the parameters.

"That's all right too. I wasn't ready to die just yet."

Humph. ...Also though. New magic? " - So you weren't intending to appear there?"

"Not really, no. We were intending to carve our names into the moon. Which this is not."

"Well, not yours, I'd guess. We haven't figured out yet if this is a moon colony or a space station or an underwater station - we're not local - how are you maintaining a cat shape with electricity?"

"How are you maintaining a human shape with lumps of meat and sticks of bone?" the cat snickers.
