“Hm. In my head that worked out perfectly. Surely those sharp claws of yours could be used as a comb, yeah? Get to it!” Arms crossed and a smirk, clearly proud of his work.

“I know, right? Maybe you’ll get inspired as the main Rolf and follow his lead! Technically you’d be like, royalty if ya’ did marry him.” Nudge nudge.

“Uh huh. I’ve heard that one before. Ya’ just gotta realize it’s easier than ya’ think! Keep your heart open, you’ll live longer for it. Or at the very least maybe give the lad a kiss.”

“…you /do/ realize that a kiss is an early step to seein’ if you two are meant to be lovers, yeah? When I met my dragon, we fought and kissed on the same day! Ah, memories.” A small moment to reflect. “At any rate, you clearly like this fiery lion, I say go for it. Smooch!”

“See? A shower AND a comb down? Now you’re a fresh kitty!” Thumbs up and a small smile. He knew what he was doing.

“Happy accident! I’m /actually/ here just in passin’. Makin’ sure you’re still around in this timeline and what not. Did ya’ miss me?”

“I see. if it helps, I could always switch to that demon dual tone I occasionally have?” Already playfully turning his usually blue arm into a violent shade of red. ^_^

“Heheh, alrighty then! Don’t worry, apparently you don’t get injured again for like, a few more days. From what I saw, at least.”

“Is that right? Not afraid of the future, eh? That’s bold! Ain’t many lads like ya’, honestly.”

Loud fireworks!

Sitting just so casually above the stranger in a tree. “A bit hard to reveal myself when I’m not hiding, eh lad? Look up!”

“If I say yes, does that path result in conflict? Save your response lad, I already know the answer.” Leaping out the tree. “I was, yes! Thought you could use… a fun distraction in your life.”

“Name’s Reynardo. The pleasure’s all mine, good friend.” A hand out for a shake.

“Whiteridge, eh? Don’t remember this time pocket. Either way, well met and all that! I really gotta stop runnin’ into wolves around here.”

STOMPS on it.

“Ahoy there, lad! Didn’t quite see ya’ there. Half blind an’ what not! But ya’ don’t seem bothered by it, eh? Tougher than ever!” As he goes to aim a second STOMP to it.

“Hohoh! Kitty cat’s still got his bravado, eh? It’s been a while, let’s see ya’ deck me one roight on the chin! I won’t even dodge it.” As a sharp claw points to said chin.

BAM! A solid hit, evident in how Rey’s skull even seemed to dent and crush! Only for it to poof back to normal as if it never happened. “Hahah! Ya’ almost had it that time, lad. Bit more power next time, lad. Like so!” As he aimed a last second haymaker of his own!

“How long’s it been, eh? Is Zetterburn married these days? Pregnant, even? The scandalous kitty!”

“It’s almost as if I hardly ever left. Ah, time travel. Truly a wondrous thin.”
