Fluffy flattened herself to the ground when she heard her owner's scream, trying her best to prove that she'd Stayed where she was told even with the child tackling her and wrapping something around her that seemed to have stuck in the most bizarre of ways. Her ears went back in embarrassment and confusion and humiliation, eyes staring firmly at the ground while Xiven yelled at the boy, who'd admittedly been nice until he started roughing her around.
Her eyes flicked back up when she heard the concerned tone and her mistress's question, midnight blue meeting black and looking utterly bewildered. Her tail was tucked beneath her legs, flat against her stomach, and...
...WHAT?!
She lifted one of her paws and sat up, staring in shock at the very blue appendage that was flattened against her stomach and puffed out to twice its natural size. Except it wasn't natural. Or hers. But it was. "Fluffy has a tail?" she asked in a horribly confused voice. "What...?"

Xiven was dumfounded and pissed off. That was horrible combination of things to be. She craned her neck around to look at the boy, and hissed. "You didn't fix her. You gave her a blue tail! You gave my Fluffy a blue tail!"
She almost whimpered when she turned back to Fluffy. She could feel a headache or something coming on, she couldn't quite tell. "You have a tail... a tail that isn't yours... but is. Oh I..." Xiven's tail remained puffed up as she sat down to try and think things through. What the hell had the boy done to her? How exactly had he attached a bright blue tail to her pretty white and purple Fluffy? Maybe they could bleach it or something...?
The young feline wanted to kill something. Her ear twitched as they flattened against her skull in thought. She turned back to the boy. "Your mother is going to hear about this, and she's going to properly punish you because I don't have the time for such a thing!"

How had he managed to screw this up? HOW?! He selflessly gave something to someone (admittedly, it was not his, but if it had been, his actions would have been the same) to help them fix a problem they had they they couldn't help. Now he was being yelled at for it! And PUNISHED?! How could... why...? His hackles raised in frustration, but he quickly ran in a circle and curled up on the ground, putting his paws over his ears, back facing toward Xiven. He then shot back up, angry now and barked at the Cat.
"I KNOW a gave her a tail! That's how I FIXED her! And what's wrong with blue?!" he was yelling back, but he kept his distance and submissive position. He wasn't trying to beat her, he was just trying to defend himself. Except that comment about his Mother irked him. "And DON'T you DARE talk about Mommy like you're more important than her! I don't CARE if you're a Queen! You are NOT more important than her!" he stamped his foot, beginning to rise from his crouched position.
[Oh dear, they're shouting a lot. I think I'll open this up, in case anyone wants to be drawn into the scene by the shouting. XD ]

Xiven didn't mean it as an insult. She meant it as she needed to fix what had obviously gone in the complete and utter wrong direction and that Heilyn obviously knew what she was doing with this whole kid thing. "That wasn't an insult. Your mother is responsible for your discipline. I have no room to punish you, even though you SHOULD BE!"
He hissed, her tail still fluffed up. "And don't you dare disrespect me young man. You should have never touched Fluffy without my permission! If I was a crueler person I would have chopped your paw off! What part of don't touch what's not yours don't you understand? It doesn't matter who you are, if you piss off the wrong person your dead. Got it kid?"
Xiven growled before turning back to the all too frightened Fluffy. She really needed to learn to shut up. "I need... to find a way to fix this. We don't even know if that tail has weird effects or something...." That worried her. A lot. She didn't want something bad to happen to Fluffy because of a stupid tail.

Fluffy felt absolutely awful about making everyone so upset. Somehow, she just knew this was her fault. She was the reason they were yelling, wasn't she? And the child was only trying to be nice, even if it was in a horribly confusing sort of way. She had a tail now...?! The thought was just so utterly strange to her. She'd always been without one and hadn't even had any idea it was possible to attach one to her rump. It must have been the result of magic? Someone did notice all the shouting and commotion, two young voices raised in a screaming, hissing argument. One was far younger than the other, but it was still more than audible from the room where she was having lunch and tea with her sister. Lani opened the door and walked out, ears tilted half-back as she approached the scene of the argument. She recognized the feline easily as Xiven, one of the other natural-born Queens in the palace, the daughter of Peaches and her father's Pravus. Younger than her, so she had seniority, but still. Similarly, she knew of the girl's pretty little pet Ace. She wasn't quite expecting the blue tail attached to the half-Highlander, or the child half-crouching defensively in front of Xiven. "Excuse me, but what the hell is going on?" |

In sleep, paws, wings and tail twitched and moved as they did in wakefulness. The child ran in her sleep, dreaming of purple-swirled pets and beautiful, strong, wonderful Queens. She dreamed of scentless and colorless poisons that froze the mind and broke the psyche, and of less subtle weapons: Glittering axes and scythes that caught the light, glowing and shining in the dim, bloodied fields of battle. And she rose above it all in that dream, tall and menacing, like an angel of dea--- A piercing, desperate mewl jolted her rather abruptly from her sleep, sending her flying through the air with a terrified yelp. She landed helplessly, legs all sprawled out on the slippery stone of the hallway, heart racing and eyes wide. What WAS that noise? It sounded like someone was being killed! There were other voices that came to her then, and her ears perked slightly. She could make out two distinct voices, and they were both quite familiar. One was Xiven she was sure, her lovely Xiven, and the other... Oh, by the Suits, it was her ass of a brother. Her hackles went up as she realized this, scrambling to her feet and setting off at a brisk pace to the center of all the hubub. Sure enough, there were Xiven and Hadrian, fighting in increasing volumes. Between them cowered Fluffy, poor Fluffy, with a hideous blue object held between her legs. She recognized it as the strange tail that her mother had found. Rhiannon's ears flattened, and her lip curled slightly with rage. There was someone else coming, likely also drawn by the noise, a winged Highlander, but the hybrid was too furious to pay too much attention. " Hadrian, you... you... you STUPID DUMB CLUB!" she yelled, throwing herself at him as he rose up, hoping to knock him to the ground again. " What did you do to Fluffy?!"  |

Oh, great, now MORE people were showing up to help him wallow in his failure. Xiven was absolutely right, and he knew it. His belly touched the floor, his tail was tucked underneath him, and his ears went back. He had really screwed up this time. Even more than the time when he completely dismantled one of the library sofas. He let out a whine which turned into a yelp as his sister rammed into him. He didn't go very far, being of the heavy Solandrian stock he inherited from his father, but he allowed himself to rolled over. He lay on his back, throat exposed, whining. There had to be some way to make this better... but he had a feeling they wouldn't accept his help if he'd offered it. He looked at Fluffy then averted his eyes very quickly. What if he did hurt a Queen's pet because of his meddling? The tail was tucked underneath her... so did that mean she had control of it? Perhaps there was some hope of him being redeemed...

"Hell and a bloody hand basket. That's what's happening," Xiven said with a slight hiss. She had control of this situation five seconds ago, but that quickly went out the window. Fanfreakingtastic.
Oh gee. She was starting to get a headache. That hadn't happened in a long while. The feline looked to Lani. "Sorry. This is just... a big horrible mess. I told Fluffy to stay where she was so I could go and do something and then this kid comes from NOWHERE to slap some crazy bright blue tail on Fluffy! And and... This is just a mess."
She looked down at the ground. She really hoped that Fluffy was going to be all right. She should probably stop this whole thing before it got worse. "Rhiannon! Stop that! Don't... maul your brother right in front of me!" Xiven said with a bit of a flail. This was just so horrible it hurt.

Lani rolled her eyes as more children poured out of the woodwork. She hated playing babysitter to any of the younger kids running around the palace. There were just enough to make the place more annoying than it used to be and she enjoyed traveling to the Capital even more every few weekends. Sure, it had kids, but not where she usually went. Clubs for the win.
Unless they were the Club suit. She grimaced slightly when she realized the boy was a little Club. At least he was a Jack, a redeeming feature, and his sister was a lower-ranking Heart, though not quite low enough to be any kind of disgrace. "You're all horrible brats, you know that? Xiven, you're not usually this bad, but when you start shrieking like a banshee it just makes me want to whack you across the head with one of my wings and watch you roll, ya know? Now what happened to your pet?"
She ignored the two younger children, not caring much if they threw each other out a window - except that she did, in an abstract sort of way - and glanced at the little Ace. Fluffy had her chin tucked down to her chest, curled into a tight little upright ball of feline, ignoring all the yelling and trying to tune it out. Her ears were plastered to her skull in fear and anxiety, the bright blue limb attached to her rump tucked tightly beneath her and only just visible from behind.
The Queen raised an eyebrow. "Oh wow, you weren't kidding. Yeesh, what a nasty clashing color. Least it's not orange or something. Can you imagine that?"
