After I was done attempting to numb the pain in my ears I walked away from Elliot. 'Now how do I get rid of the ears?' I looked at Clair, "Any ideas to get rid of the ears?" She was gazing at Peter. "Note to self: Never make friends with girls obsessed with rabbits." I said in a monotone voice. This got no reaction out of her. I gave a sigh and looked at Julius and a thought came to mind.
I walked over to the serious man and held out my hand. He looked at my hand than at me with a curious expression. "I want to test something. So please just place your hand in mine." He gave an exasperated sigh and complied with my demand. I once again felt the tingling feeling go in reverse.
Everyone looked at me weirdly. "What?" I asked calmly. Clair looked at me with a big smile, "They are just amazed how you figured out how to get and get rid of your animal attributes. I wonder . . ." She looked at me weirdly before taking a finely polished spoon of the tea table. "Clair sto—"
I didn't get to finish seeing a shiny object swishing back and forth in front of my eyes. I followed it with my eyes. I was entranced with the silver object in front of my eyes. I would reach forward and try to grasp the spoon that had light from the noon sun glinting off of it. I finally reached with my right hand and suddenly grabbed it with my left, successfully tricking Clair and getting the precious shiny object. I held it in front of my eyes while sitting on the ground criss-cross-applesauce style. A happy smile on my face.
"I guess the cat features affected her." Ace said with a broad smile. I may be entranced with the object but I heard this conversation. "No not really." I heard Clair say and was guessing everyone was looking at her oddly. "She has more than one reason for her nickname." Everything got quiet. 'My precious shiny—' My thoughts were cut off by her continued speaking.
"Kat may be short for her name but she has always acted like the animal too. She loves cream, especially in her coffee. She loves shiny objects, like, really loves them that spoon right there." I was staring at the said spoon but I think she was pointing at me. "That spoon can distract her for hours. One time she saw string dangling from the ceiling and she started pawing at it. She actually owns a yarn ball. She made it for her cousin's cat but the cat ran away and she kept it. She found it amusing to play with." "Wow." I have no idea who said that.
"She is also clever and sly similar to a cat but she doesn't really trick people. She uses it to solve problems and stuff. But, she is very protective of her 'children'." "She has kids?!" I think that was Elliot. 'Heh . . . I want to see the look on his face but pretty spoon.' Clair started laughing. After a minute or two she stopped. "No not biological children. You see she has a lot of friends a year or two younger than her and she took us all under her wing. She helped us with all our troubles and always tried to get us together. She always made time for us and put us before her. She even had a concussion one day but stayed the whole time just to ask us about our day and walk us home. Not to mention she is very maternal. She always has everything right when we need it. Band-aids, water, hair ties. One time I needed a belt and she had one. I think she has Mary Poppins's bag disguised as her satchel. She earned the nickname 'Mom" from us because of her maternal-ness. A bunch of young children are fond of her they always refer to her as her big sister or even mom sometimes when they heard us call her that."
I was still staring at the spoon when suddenly it disappeared from my sight. Suddenly I feel pain in my lower back and screech in surprise and pain. I look to see Ace with a black cat tail in his hands and my pretty spoon between his teeth. 'I must have had the animal attributes come outduring some of the time I saw the spoon.' "Great job Ace now the spoon is worthless." I say monotonously with no amusement.
"Where are the two young ladies going to stay?" I heard Blood say with an even voice not betraying him to tell me how he really felt. "Kitty-onee-san and Bunny-onee-chan should stay at the mansion with us!" I heard the Bloody twins say. I gave an amused giggle, 'How can two boys so cute be so dangerous? It is incomprehensible.' "Noooo~ I wanna stay with Peter~!" I heard Clair whine. "Now Clair is that rude or polite?" I stay in a jokingly scolding tone, to let her know I am messing with her. She got quiet.
"I don't necessarily care where I stay but I would prefer to stay with Clair. You don't know how to maintain what little sanity she has. Also, I will earn both of our keep." Everyone looked at me, well Clair was hugging Peter. I was serious; I could not comprehend the thought of being in a world where life wasn't valued. Not that I wasn't one to talk. I don't even truly value my own life; I always make sure to go last. Right now Clair was of the upmost importance.
"You said there was . . . a vile." I said looking suspiciously at the man who seems to have a fetish for clocks. "Yes." "Then where is ours?"

I do not own Mary Poppins. But a few people actually asked me before if I own her bag since I have basically everything with me at all times in mine. I only own Katherine. My friend owns Clair. I do not own HnKnA.
