Is this a cutscene Fin Closed

Hmph. As if he hadn’t heard that one before. These people did realize they were threatening another pet, right? It wasn’t like Kitty was Acromantula, she was hardly more dangerous than any other pet either, cats or owls could be plenty horrible, but you didn’t see him threatening peoples owls. “Very brave of you,” he waved off. It annoyed him. It really did. But he found people really didn’t care what he had to say on the subject. Not one bit.

Now if she ever actually hurt Kitty…that’d be different. But her threat was just that. An idle threat.

He did suddenly feel much less guilty about Kitty ruining Elenas day, however. Truly, his conscience was cleared! He’d remember the girl's threat and the fact he shouldn’t feel a lick of guilt after this! Not when she was fine with threatening pets! “I’ll remember that!” He added as an after though, far too cheerful as he made his getaway. Elsi grinned sharply at the flinch. Almost, almost he let go, but he wasn’t about to risk Kitty or detention. Guess Elena was lucky this time, no more happy spider getting tangled in her hair or crawling all over her robes.

Almost simply because of the spell that’d been whipped at him the moment he’d made it to the corner. Elsi threw himself sideways, snatching up another person's shoulder and shoving them forwards instead with a fumble. If it did hit anyone, it wouldn’t be him… Kitty of course was all too happy to wiggle from his grip during the drama, taking off down the hall in a tiny blur of black chaos.

Oh, if only Elena hadn’t said anything. She might’ve had him!

Sadly, she’d blabbed instead of just shooting the spell. Oof.

“You tried to spell me!” A single finger pointed dramatically at her, voice torn between fake outrage and something like withered respect. “You- oh now look at what you’ve done.”

Kitty was gone. He should probably follow her lead, clever creature.

He backed off, giving the girl a huff and dramatic salute as made it safely around the corner and out of sight. “Nice try hotshot. Better luck next time!” He snickered, running off after his pet and feeling much lighter on his feet.
