. . . It drops the Cleo-ish food (only a few centimeters above the ground, but definitely not a set) and zooms around to its front.
Clap clap.
"It's me, Cleo, d'you remember me?" she asks, holding out her hands like she's pressing them to a window.
Which is when the castle doors burst open and a silver cat charges at the pair of them.
Unpleasantnesses are nothing to worry about for very smart beings who have learned how to not nibble, although it's a little weird that one is zooming. Handspress?
Handspress! "Wow, I'm glad you're not, like, wet and squishy, you're actually kinda dry. - hello?" she adds to the silver cat, which is hissing and spitting at the very smart being.
It is also experiencing pleasant surprises about the experience of touching a food! This isn't an onk at all. It was not really expecting it to be onkful, because it touched the Cleo-ish food to carry it and that wasn't, but it still could have been bad in some other way.
Hhhhhhhehhhhhllllllllllohhhhhhhhhh. (It's so good at that one; all of the mediocresounds in it are very easy.)
"Hello! Good job!" she squeaks deliciously.
The silver cat is so agitated! It hisses more and bats at robe-hems.
Tchtchchhhhhhhhh, it hisses back. . . . Can it onk the unpleasantne - OW that's still very unpleasant EVEN THOUGH it is not nibbling. It floats up and hopefully out of reach, but still pretty near the - hm, so this food did make the Cleo noise. Maybe Cleos are a type of food, and now it's met two of them - near the Cleo.
"MISS CORNISH!" calls a voice from the building. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT SORT OF EXPLANATION YOU HAVE IN MIND FOR THIS BUT I WILL HEAR IT IN MY OFFICE, NOW!"
Cleo sighs and gets up and dusts herself off. "Professor McGonagall is mad," she tells the dementor. "I have to go talk to her. I'm glad I found you again though!"
Oh good, now that the Cleo's stood up the two of them are closer to each other again. Rehandspress?
Handpress. Clap clap. Wave. And then she turns and goes toward the voice, herded by the unpleasantness.
The unpleasantness does not like that! Hiss hiss pounce!
"Professor can you call off the cat thing? This one's friendly!"
"Miss Cornish, come back inside at once!"
This is by far the WORST Unpleasantness it's ever met. It can follow follow the Cleo from higher up >:(.
The cat thing does not have to obey gravity EITHER. Hiss hiss swat!
Terrible! :'(
It tries to onk the Unpleasantness some more, not very effectively. Slap slap ouch slap.
The unpleasantness does not seem deterred by onks.
It doesn't understand why this is happening to it. :( It wishes the Unpleasantness would stop but it really has no idea how to make that happen. Is there anything around that looks like it maybe un-eats Unpleasantnesses and makes them less boring (meaning WORSE)?
There is nothing that looks obviously unpleasantnessunnivorous.
No, it's very insistent! The Cleo is nearly all the way to the building now, trudge trudge.
The building is ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS INCREDIBLY AGGRESSIVE CAT
