I need you to tell me everything you know about facilitating a recovery from this.

...please. I meant, it would be helpful if you could tell me, please.

[bolderfell]

Kurama. You've got more important things to worry about right now.

[Than being polite to him, he means.]

You're right, it happens when you run out of Chroma. The only thing I know works is moonlacing, but I wasn't that far gone. Should still work. Might take a while. Just being held reversed it all eventually.

[roseblooms]

No. It's better that I adhere to good manners, right now. Though if it makes you feel better, I can assure you that it's not because I think you'll be offended if I'm not polite.

Is there any means of transfusion that you're aware of? A direct transfer of one person's chroma to the affected person.

[bolderfell]

Haven't heard of any. Maybe a healer could?

[roseblooms]

It'll take a better healer than me to do it, that much is for certain.

[bolderfell]

I know a cleric. Couldn't say whether she's tried anything like this, but she's been here longer than I have. So maybe.

I trust her.

[roseblooms]

Your trust goes a long way with me.

If I haven't made any progress after another few attempts, I may...have to ask you to facilitate a meeting.

It's not my partner. Just a friend.

[bolderfell]

Yeah. Her, too, I guess.

If I manage to close this place tonight without losing any damn cats, I can drop by. Bring you whatever. I won't be nosy, just figure you'll need things that then you don't need to leave his side for.

[roseblooms]

[.........]

Are you worried about me?

[bolderfell]

["........." yourself, man.]

Am I worried you NEED me to do anything for you? No. But I can still try to make things a little easier while you watch over your friend.

[roseblooms]

That's not what I asked, and you know it. And I know it, and I think you know that I know it, and knew I would when you said it. So that's answer enough.

Tell me about the damn cats.

[bolderfell]

[That's an awful lot of emotional intelligence Kurama's ascribing to Therion, there. He could be right, of course, but y'know.]

Do you have cafes where you're from? Hell if I can keep track of any of these things from different worlds.

[roseblooms]

Cafes? Yes, we do. They're taverns, of sorts, only cleaner and less rowdy.

[bolderfell]

Yeah, that's how I described it to someone a little while ago. Anyway, I 'work' at one of those, but they serve cats as well as drinks.

[roseblooms]

...

And do you work there even when it's Cordis?

[bolderfell]

Yeah, but only because they don't put me on the menu.

I actually mind it less when it's Cordis. The rest of the month I have to wear a stupid headband with fake ears.

[roseblooms]

I'd find it compelling advertising, if you were on the menu.

Your uniform includes fake cat ears?

[bolderfell]

If I say yes, would you find THAT compelling advertising?

Though yeah, it does, except when I have my own. Boss isn't cruel enough to make me look four cat ears' worth of stupid.

[roseblooms]

Not particularly. I like you as a cat, but I've never been particularly fond of cheap imitations when I've already had the real thing.

Have you considered asking to have the policy changed?

[bolderfell]

Not really. That actually a thing people do when they work for someone else?

[roseblooms]

Some places value that sort of contribution. Others don't.

I suppose I don't really know what sort yours is.

[bolderfell]

...It's a nice place, honestly. If I said the ears were that much of a nuisance, I could probably get out of wearing them. But it doesn't seem to bother anyone else.

Sometimes it feels like it's all kids working there. I realized the other day I'm the oldest one actually on staff, including the owner. Call me soft, but... doesn't hurt me to let them have their fun.

Really makes me feel my white hairs thinking like that, though.

[roseblooms]

For what it's worth, I understand the feeling. Everyone I know is several centuries my junior, to a certain degree. And I stay with them because I like to be among them, even if I'm always a little conscious of that particular disparity between us.

[bolderfell]

Do most demons live as long as you?

[roseblooms]

Only the powerful ones. Age-related deterioration isn't really a concern, so the most common cause of death among demons is an altercation with another demon.

To be very old implies that you've survived everything that tried to kill you along the way.
