Room 527, Wednesday morning

[solo_sword]

As a kitten, Jaina had taken to sleeping on John's head, in part to annoy him, in part because it was more comfortable than it had any right to be. Until last night, anyway, when she'd decided instead to try and take up the entire bed with her wee kitten self, which was a good thing since this morning she'd wake up entirely human again.

See, good thing she didn't sleep on his head. It would have been really weird.

When he woke up, the first thing John noticed was there was no extra weight on his head. The second was that there were no wee kitten paws pressing against his side trying to move him out of the way.

The third, and most important, thing he noticed was that the kitten had been replaced by a girl, and he rolled toward the other body to toss an arm over her in a sleepy hug. It was possible he was glad to be finished with claws.

Feeling a weight on her, the kitteny instinct was to get it off because she didn't ask for it, hello. But when Jaina went to bat at his arm, she sort of noticed that she had bona fide fingers again. And hands altogether. So instead of pushing him away, she kept her hand- yay!- on his arm and muttered, "Finally."

John patted his hand against her skin, muttering sleepily, "Where's Miss Fluffytail?" Yes, he really wanted a robot.

[solo_sword]

Okay, now she swatted his arm. "Just because I don't have claws doesn't mean I can't hurt you," she mumbled.

Scooting closer, he smiled a little. "I missed you threatening me."

[solo_sword]

"You're so weird," Jaina said, but scooted closer, too. Though her movement was due in part to the nakedness and being a little cold. "And my tail was not fluffy." Yes it was.

Luckily he was clothed and willing to provide any needed heat. "It was very fluffy, but I can pretend it wasn't."

[solo_sword]

"Then I'll just say I matched your bunny tail," she countered.

"Too early for glaring," he said with a frown.

[solo_sword]

"Then I'll declare myself the winner and move on," she said with a sleepy smile.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You're a good winner," he replied, snuggling closer.

[solo_sword]

"You bet I am," she said, and after a moment, "I do still have clothes here, right?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Clothes?" His voice was confused, like he'd never heard of such a thing.

[solo_sword]

"Too early to glare," she reminded him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Relax," John replied calmly. "I kept what you were wearing when you...transformed."

[solo_sword]

"This is why I need to fill up the drawer." She'd been sort of avoiding it due to her own issues, but it was kind of hard to ignore the practicality of it right now.

"It's empty and waiting," he said. "But I'm sure you noticed that in all your exploring this week."

[solo_sword]

"Too early for teasing, too," she lied. "Besides, I don't think I made it in there."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Probably too high for you," he smirked, not saying anything about whether she could reach it now. He wasn't completely stupid.

[solo_sword]

"At least I didn't end up covered in food. More than once," she pointed out, needing to feel a little better about herself here.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You were a very clean kitten," John agreed. "Even with the pudding."

[solo_sword]

Jaina turned her head to bury her face in the pillow. "And yet I feel the need to shower."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John laughed lightly. "If it'll make you feel better."

[solo_sword]

"It will," she decided, pulling away just enough to stretch out her back, maybe still used to kitten habits a tiny bit.

"Maybe I should help you," he considered, watching her catlike moves with interest.
