"Are you sure you didn't cut that tree down to be our present tree, you know how Groot is about that?" Casrud asked the adults making Kamala think the kit was being very sweet and smart, to think about these things and ask questions, since it was time to decorate the Christmas tree realising such traditions were a bit foreign for her and Rocket but maybe they could help.
"We're sure but what's so funny?" Scott asked her, unaware Thor had decided to climb the tree, which Monica agreed was funny, making Rocket smirk at this, remembering when Meeko had done it too, knowing in his state, Thor did not mean it, making Casrud giggle remembering last year.
"Come on bud, we need to decorate the tree, you don't wanna be on the Naughty list, right?" Rocket said to the blonde-furred male seeing him come down.
"Wait, grown-ups can also be on Santa's Naughty and Nice lists, like kids this time of year?" Casrud asked seeing Rocket nod explaining, making the chubby female kit's eyes widen in awe and anxiety, because she had the feeling her uncle had always been on the Naughty list because of all the antics in the past but now he was an Avenger, that hadto count for something, right?
"You okay there, you look a little nervous, are you worried that you might be on the Naughty list?" Kamala asked her, while Casrud and Monica were helping her and the others decorate.
"No, moreso Uncle Rockie, you know?" Casrud said.
"I'm pretty sure he's on the Nice list since he did become one of us, plus is a pretty good uncle to you, so you should not worry." Kamala assured her making Casrud relieved, especially hearing they were gonna have a snack, making the adults chuckle, only Rocket wondered what she and Kamala had been talking about.
"She was worrying,, that you won't have a good Christmas." Kamala told him making him surprised by this, finding it sweet of Casrud, knowing this might distract her from her anxiety over Cassie coming, making them get it, hoping that Rocket could help her not be so shy around new people.
"Hey Monica, who's the furry kid?" Cassie asked Monica.
It was a few days later in the compound, so Cassie Lang had moved to the compound so Monica was showing her around, knowing Casrud would be anxious around her until she felt comfortable around the girl, so would let her be as Casrud was in the tech-lab with Rocket, designing and making her own toys.
"That's Casrud, she's Rocket's niece." Monica told her making her curious, unaware she had some of her dad's shrinking discs which activated shrinking her and Monica to ant-size impressing Monica besides worrying her, hoping that Casrud would notice something was up, so would come find them.
"Are you sure she will, I thought she was shy?" Cassie asked her.
"She is with you, but not me, as we're friends." Monica told her.
Casrud wondered where Monica was as she could not find her, hearing Scott say that he couldn't find Cassie, making the female kit guess, that Pym Particleswere involved, making Scott remember, that Cassie had some of his shrinking discs making Hope facepalm at that, making Casrud impressed finding a shrunk Monica and Cassie.
"Hold on guys, let's get you safe, until uncle Scott finds you, to grow you back to normal." she said softly, impressing Cassie noticing the chubby female kit scrunching up her nose, making Monica know she was anxious, explaining to Cassie making her understand wanting to help her, once they grew back to their normal height.
"Uncle Rockie, Uncle Scott, I found them!" Casrud told them relieving them, using a growing disc to grow them back to their normal height.
"Thanks for helping them find us, and I know you're unsure of me, maybe I can help." Cassie said to Casrud making the female kit nod in reply, impressing Rocket, thathis niece was making progress.
