Who: Will Parry & Susan Pevensie (well, first, Kirjava & Susan Pevensie) What: meeting Will's daemon, then meeting Will. When: Sunday Where: Potts Tower, starting in the lobby, near the stairs. Warnings: a talking cat? Otherwise, nah.
The problem with this place was that every time Will got used to having someone around, they seemed to leave. First Lyra had left, then returned, then left again. That had nearly made him retreat fully into himself, to avoid having to deal with how much it hurt. It had hurt enough the first time losing her as a child, but to be given her back again, only to lose her again twice, was simple cruelty. Whether it was on the part of the fates or the universes or something else entirely, he didn't know, but he'd had nearly enough of it. The only people he'd continued talking to were those he'd already known, like Sully, or the people he had to speak with for the sake of working with them.
Except then he'd met Rogue on a SHIELD assignment, and had another lonely soul to talk to, one who had inadvertently gotten to know him better than most. And then Sabrina had appeared, with her magical, talking black cat, whom Kirjava had immediately taken a liking to. But of course, both of them had disappeared as well.
At first, Kirjava had stuck by his side almost all of the time after that. They both needed the company, the feeling of not being totally alone, and Will found the company of his daemon to be a comfort as always. Regardless of what else happened, he would always have his daemon. People had tried to separate daemons from their humans a long time ago, before he'd even had his own daemon, but that didn't seem to be a problem of this world. Even in the other worlds it was a practice that had ended a long time ago. In fact, he was the only one with a daemon here anymore, so far as he could tell-- and given the fact that she was invisible to most, it wasn't as if she was likely to draw that kind of attention.
In fact, she wasn't used to drawing any attention at all. Like Will, she tended to keep to the shadows, even though as a black cat she was generally inconspicuous even without the added benefit of being invisible. Therefore, on the unusual occasion that she was seen or sensed, it caught her attention. An angel had been able to see her, and a magical cat, and others among the tower residents seemed to be able to sense her to some degree sometimes, but now that both angel and cat were gone, it wasn't usual to find that anyone was looking directly at her.
That was why, when Kirjava felt eyes on her back, she turned around to look back at who it was. She was near the stairs, intending to head down to the basement to find Will in the gym, where he always went in the evenings. But she hesitated, looking up at the dark-haired girl who was looking at her. Back arching slightly, her tail moved slowly back and forth, and she regarded the female human with a look that suggested far more intelligence or at least sentience than a normal cat should have. She could have opened her mouth to speak, but she waited, a little warily, to see if she'd be addressed first.
