catch-all (partly open; partly closed)
Who: Konoe and friends acquaintances (and enemies, and whatever)
When: May
Where: ~around~
What: All the things! So far: herb quest with Dylas; Mrs. Mitten quest with... you?
Warnings: The general stupidity of a catboy chasing a cat? 🙀 Will edit as things come up.
Feel free to use the format/tense you're most comfortable with! I will happily adapt.
If you want to wildcard me for whatever, go right ahead. You're likely to find Konoe around the city, following the magic classes the coven's giving, maybe attempting some very minor magic in a secluded spot, sitting on a rooftop looking out over the city and trying not to feel lonely, or... very much lost because he has no sense of direction.

It's not for the reward that Konoe does this; in fact, he's not sure what the reward even is. But he's been wanting to take a look at the forest, even if it's supposed to be dangerous, and this gives him the perfect excuse to finally do it. And, since he's not alone... he doesn't have to worry about getting lost either. (Shut up.)
It's strange how much the forest feels comfortable and familiar, yet something about it is still very much off. The smell of the trees and plants is not so different than that of the world he grew up in, but there's definitely something odd on top of that, very faint and sickly sweet, yet anything but sweet at the same time. That's new. The Void never smelled like anything... but then, that only made it more dangerous.
This still feels more like home than a city ever could. Konoe appreciates the comforts of a city, but it's hard to beat scents for nostalgia.
"Follow the river in the forest, it said..." And that's what they're doing. "Do you think it's much further?" He doesn't mind either way. He's just trying to make conversation, in his own way - and perhaps trying to calm down somewhat, with that eerie sickly sweet scent lightly prickling at his nose.
[open] MRS. MITTENS
In a city full of magic and monsters, there's a wide variety of things one should expect to see, and very little that should surprise you. Even so, the sight in front of you may raise a few eyebrows.
"Hey - wait!" There's a young man with a tail and cat ears, his hood long since fallen off his head and flapping behind him like the rest of his mantle. He's running at a pretty impressive speed, jumping obstacles... and perhaps knocking over a thing or two (hopefully not a person or two) in the process, oops.
That's not really the noteworthy thing here, though. The strangest thing to note is that he's chasing... a cat. The catboy is chasing a cat.
"I'll give you milk, so come here already!" He remembers that these Cats are supposed to like milk. He has still not accepted that they apparently - supposedly - can't talk, though... and even if he did, he expects them to at least understand what he's saying.
Clearly this particular Cat is just very rude.

Thank you...
[She's just giving this to him? He's glad, but he also feels kind of bad, somehow.]
Next time it will be my treat, okay?
[He's just going to establish that before he starts eating, tongue darting out to lick at the whipped cream.]
Mmm - it's good!
no subject
We'll trade off now and then.
[With that she sighs a little gently.]
It makes me wish I could cook. It would be nice to have homemade snacks for magic practicing sessions.
no subject
[But that person is not Konoe. He's pretty good at combining flavors, but due to his fear of fire, actual cooking is just not something he does. That doesn't mean he isn't more than happy to enjoy the results of other people's cooking, though.
He continues doing just that, sinking his teeth into the crepe once he's licked the whipped cream down to a seemingly manageable amount. (Odds of him getting some on his nose? Still pretty high.) Getting to a part with fruit and cream cheese, he's stunned at the contrast of flavors - and at how much this is filling him up already. He's so used to doing with the bare minimum.]
Mm... Maybe you could even work in a place like this.
no subject
Take a moment to wipe cream from the tip of her own nose with a thumb she can't help but make an amused sound.]
I'm not the sort of person you want in a bakery, I'm fairly sure.
[She owns up to her cooking flaw very readily, okay. Even if she doesn't exactly feel good about it.]
no subject
[Just. Not him. He's not cooking unless and until he finds a magical way to heat things up without fire, thanks.]
And it's not like they'd start you off with the really complicated things.
[If it wasn't for Konoe's preference to be out and about, he might consider some kind of eatery to work at, himself. Not that he could cook, but even so... He keeps happily eating away at his crepe, licking some cream that stuck to his lips, but not his nose.]
