"Sorry – apparently there's a massive time dilation, like five years passed here before Ruby and Anakin jumped over. Ruby apparently figured out how to transport other people without having to leave the universe she's in – she moved Luke to Bet, he'll let Anakin know if time there speeds up and Behemoth attacks."

"Rrright. Guess we have time to take a breath, then."

"I'm going to get so much work done."

"There are several notable advantages," Contessa says, evenly.

"Is that your excited face?"

Awkward smile?

"Ruby did not convey much information about local conditions. I need to calibrate how excited to be."

Uggghhh she kinda wants to blow her off but Contessa's cute. So. She'll roll on her back for belly rubs while she updates the team with what she knows?

Appreciated.

(Daniella promptly faceplants into tiger tummy fluff.)

"...That's a lot of alts."

Oh no she has to interrupt purring to answer... Eh, well, Daniella's unlikely to go anywhere. "Think they have even more than got like, directly described? I didn't even meet everyone."

"Luckily you already have a distinguishing nickname!" 

"Advantage to being a cape." She so wants to meet both her alts.

"Does yours really count, though? It's a bit of a mouthful for casual conversation."

She sticks her tongue out. "I'll accept 'Artist' for short."

"Fair enough."

Daniella mumbles something indistinct along the lines of 'I'll be your short mouthful in conversation'.

"Daniella, you're cute. And a total dork."

She sends a thumbs-up Lilywards, still facedown in tiger fluff.

Which is precisely when they all hear a very excited scream: "KITTY ME!!!"

Followed very shortly thereafter by a small child launching herself with the Force right at Ruby.

-Not a threat, despite the velocity of approach.

Though Daniella will try to catch the child so as to make a gentler introduction to Ruby.

Awww... Still: "Hi a my sis," she says, brightly, before trying to wiggle free to hug the kitty her. 

Ruby raises her head and rumbles a bit.

Hugging the kitty at normal speed is good and fine.

"Hi a... small Ruby?"

Kitty hugs!!! "I'm Anakin!" Pause, then: "Palpatine Panthera, not one of the Skywalkers."
