Maybe a mile on this road.” I held out my gloved hand to her. “How does it look?” She landed, ruffling her dark glossy feathers. “Could be worse. The shutters are intact and ...

@rowyn cassie pondering when things changed, only to get distracted by magnuslet, evidence that at least some parts of that change were a while ago
@Satsuma Cassie: "Huh, yeah. Umbral's been awfully fond of that doll, come to think of it. Was a little taken aback when I gave it to her, but took a liking to it soon enough."
@rowyn and Magnus wouldn’t have suggested Cassie make it if he wasn’t at least a bit fond of Umbral either!
@Satsuma Magnus: "I sort of suggested it by accident. Really I was trying to make sure Cassie didn't give them a mini-Cassie like she'd given me."
Cassie: "But you agreed I ought to make one for them?"
Magnus: "Well, yeah. They needed one."
Cassie: "And gave me a lock of your hair to include."
Magnus: "..."
Magnus: "...Yeah, I liked them even then. I didn't want to admit it to myself, though."
@rowyn they kissed!!! and more importantly, they talked about their feelings <3
@Satsuma Magnus: "Yes!"
Magnus: "and that was TERRIFYING"
Magnus: "whew"
@rowyn @Satsuma
'Twas. And handled with bravery and grace. 💖
@kelkyag @Satsuma Magnus: "And Umbral said yes so it was *totally* with it" ❤️

@rowyn
That's one way to introduce a complicated and delicate conversation. And Gregor so kindly shepherded everyone else away. I wonder if he and Magnus talked about this beforehand, or if he's just reading the room (and the very tired new witch) well?

(Are panther ears a distinctive shape, or is Umbral in feline-ish forms a panther by default because of their coloration?)

@kelkyag Cassie: "Big cats, like panthers, have rounder and wider ears than house cats."
Cassie: "But lion/tiger/cougar/leopard etc all have pretty similar ears. I think of them as "panther" on Umbral because of their color."
@rowyn @kelkyag Who doesn't want to rub those adorable ears? ^.^
@rowyn
Umbral-as-kitten looks to've gone with house cat ears (and size), then.
@kelkyag Cassie: "Oh yes, the kitten shape was definitely a house cat kitten. Used house cat ears when he shifted to humanoid that day, too. Varies it up."
@kelkyag
Magnus: "Gregor and I had talked, yeah. Like, I hadn't said anything about him getting us some time alone. But I knew why he was maneuvering to leave us alone."
Magnus: "As far as I know, no one had talked to Blackpaw. I kinda think he was reading the room."
@rowyn
Blackpaw's good at that. And he's been present for various relevant conversations.
@rowyn impressive! but maybe don’t push so hard so quickly, Cassie?
@Satsuma Cassie: "Didn't feel as if I was pushing until I'd pushed too hard. Oops."
