[You know that tingling spine feeling you get when something undesired is creeping up on you from behind? Like, you haven't even seen or heard anything, but you know it's there and you know you want it to go away.
Like a creepy ex-boyfriend, or that smelly-mouth breathing-kid from high school that spit food when he ate came to sit near you at lunch?
Yeah. That's the feeling Harley gets when Lalli makes his presence known. Her tail bristles, but she keeps herself (barely) from demanding to know why he followed them.
Her ears perk forward a touch, however, at the mention of the gate.]
Sasuke mentioned somethin' important out in the forest... If there hasn't been anythin' else, that's probably it.
[With that, she turns her attention back to the patient phantoms waiting at the bookshelf, dismissing the issue for the current one for the one being. She studies he bakeneko for a moment and then sighs, looking back at Lalli with a very measured degree of patience on her part.]
Would ya find that pigs or a goose would make ya hungrier ta talk about? [She points to the waiting bakeneko phantom behind her.]
They say that they think their book has something ta do with food, or sounds like it, but that they just might 'a been hungry. It's either The 3 Little Pigs or The Golden Goose... I'm leanin' toward the Goose, since it seems more likely ta make a cat hungry.
[See... She's asking for input. Look how nice she's being right now. Even if it's killing her.]
