"Are you sure you don't want to come back with us? I mean you and Scorpia would be more than welcome to join us." Adora said, motioning to where Entrapta was talking with Bow about something or another, although Catra only shook her head.
"I know but I still have a lot to learn about not only my people but also my powers. I mean I just found out that I could basically go like ninety-miles-per-hour and Dillion wants to teach me how to control it so I wont crash into another tree." Catra retorted, glaring over at the blonde who had started laughing at that confession.
Catra couldn't help the ghost of a smile that came over her face at the familiarity of all of this. The bantering, random late night conversations, even the half-ass arguments. Gods, she hadn't realized that she had missed those stupid little things so much until now.
Then again, she was thinking for herself now. Not worrying about Hordak or Shadow Weaver and diffidently not being pitted against anyone.
"You will come visit us sometime right?" Adora asked, suddenly interrupting the feline's thoughts though she just laughed and bumped against her.
"Duh. You think I'm just going to let you get by with telling my mother of all people about the mouse thing? Besides I still want to kick your ass. Just because we are basically on the same side right now doesn't mean I am not going to surpass you one of these days." Catra replied to that "next time we met though you better be ready for me to show you up."
Catra wasn't expecting to be pulled into a hug—nor could she help by yelp in surprise at the sudden motion.
"Okay...I'll miss you too but stop being such a marshmallow and let go of me." Catra retorted, pushing Adora away before adding "Jeez, you've gotten soft on me."
"So are you sure that you want me to teach the class for you? Scorpia makes a really good teacher." Dillion said as he sat in the laborite room, earning a sigh from Catra who opened one eye and glanced toward him.
"Scorpia is coming to Bright Moon with me and I trust Amur with the kids as far as I can throw him." Catra retorted, smirking a little as she leaned back against the smooth, multi-colored stone before adding "You and Anu have the patience of Shai where he doesn't. Hell, even I don't have the patience half the time—although I don't throw my weight around." Catra responded, earning a chuckle.
"You had the patience to learn how to..." The old man began, however a sudden flood of light cut him off with a grunt and earned a hiss from her.
"Do you people always forget to knock?" she demanded, earning a light chuckle.
"Sorry chief, your mom was asking for you to come see her before you leave tomorrow." Scorpia's voice said from the doorway, earning a groan from Catra.
Speak the obvious...Seriously. Did Cyra really think I would leave without saying goodbye? I'm not Adora...Ugh...Shut up brain, that is in the past.
Catra thought as she turned toward the taller girl, trying to resist the urge to roll her eyes.
"Yeah, I was planning to. She's been busy with queen stuff lately and I've only seen her at dinner twice in the past week and since I'll be gone for three weeks I should say goodbye." she retorted, earning a crooked grin from Scorpia.
"Why don't you just say you want to talk to your mom before you leave because everyone knows that's what you mean."
That was enough to earn a glare from Catra as she stood, smoothing down the wrinkles in the dark crimson colored jacket she had on.
"Keep it up and I'll make you walk to Bright Moon by yourself. Remember I can easily outrun you." The feline princess retorted, tail waving about lazily as she tried to get the feeling back in her lower body—that was partially numb and stiff from sitting still for so long.
After a few minutes of silence, Catra finally walked over, roughly pulling Scorpia back out the door by a belt loop.
"Thanks for making that thing for me Dillion, I'm not the best at this gift giving stuff, Now think that's my cue to leave before this airhead ends up embarrassing me even more."
"So you got Adora a gift?" Scorpia asked as she was practically pulled out of the room by Catra, the meaning of her words not going unnoticed by the feline, who blushed and quickly got into the defensive.
"Hey, it's a respect thing among Magi-cats to never visit the home of a friend without some kind of token! Besides, I got the other two nitwits something too as well as Queen Angella." Catra retorted before adding "and your thing is in your room since you decided to stay here for the time being."
She tried not to notice how Scorpia's face instantly lit up at those words, however before she could say—or do—anything, Catra bolted off.
I am not dealing with her Effusiveness right now...I should have gotten her a children's dictionary...With a highlighted entry on the word Personal space. Catra thought, although she couldn't keep the corners of her lips turning up slightly as she heard Scorpia's complaints echoing down the hall behind her.
"Sorry, Can't hear you! You're too slow!" she called over her shoulder before laughing.
