laughing a bit again, Pip thought that, indeed, it seemed that actually being an animal was much more fun then pretending. She seemed to be enjoying herself

"hmm.." it hummed quietly, then hesitately reached out to touch her paw, but quickly withdrew it. "er.. is it ok if I pet you?" it asked, feeling rather stupid

Chimney wasn't really able to say, 'yes'. Instead she shook her head up and down chirping merrily. She loved being petted because it made her feel good and it felt really nice. Chimney lay still on the floor and Pip went to pet her.

"guess that means 'yes'," Pip murmured, then reached out and gently pet her head, grinning at how soft her fur was

Chimney stopped her little noises as Pip petting her, ah so nice! If she was a cat she would have purred.

(idk wat to type asfddfadsfadfa)

Pip blinked when her little noises stopped, misunderstanding that for her probably not liking it.. it took it's hand away after a few moments.

(neither do I.. *headdesk*)

Chimney did not have a clue how to tell Pip she was changing back. Seeing that Pip was neither gender or both, she wasn't sure, it was hard to think of what to do. If Pip was a girl it wouldn't be strange, but if Pip was a guy it would feel awkward. Back at the lab chimney had only seen the males at lunch and break times.

To solve this Chimney made her way to her clothes and put the cloth in her tiny mouth.

Seeing Chimney return to her clothes on the other side of the counter, it guessed she was changing back into a human, but - she'd paused a bit.. probably hesitant to 'change' in front of it, which wasn't really surprising considering.. well, it's gender wasn't exactly obvious

it almost felt the need to tell her the truth, but it preferred that no one knew.. it was incredibly private to Pip, and afterall, after the issues it had gone through so many years ago..

it shook it's head, dismissing the memories. it quickly grabbed it's staff and stood, going back to the cereal that was now a bit soggy, but hopefully still good, tasting-wise

As Pip went back to eating Chimney changed back and stayed on the ground, quickly slipping back into hr clothes. Chimney liked them because they were easy to put on, unlike Draiman's many layers of rough material. When she was all done she stood up and dusted off her skirt. Chimney went to her own bowl and started to eat the cereal. It was tasty.

"ah, so," Pip said after finishing off it's cereal and drinking the remaining milk from the bowl a few moments later, looking over at Chimney. "after you finish eating and all, if it isn't too much trouble, could you show me around a bit?" it asked, leaning an elbow on the counter, it's staff resting in the crook of it's other arm.

"I mean, this place is pretty big and all, and you seem to know where everything is.." whilst Pip knew where practically nothing was, except the kitchen - but it'd probably forget easily since it hadn't really paid much attention to it's surroundings as they'd headed to the kitchen, which is usually how Pip would remember which way to go..

Chimney rushed to finish her bowl so she could help Pip. She blushed a little, "I don't know the WHOLE castle!" She giggled and hopped down to the floor. fixing her long hair behind her back chimney dumped the bowl in the sink and waited for Pip by the door. "Where do you want to go?" Her ears twitched a little listening around the room.

after quickly putting it's bowl in the sink like Chimney had done, Pip rushed to the door, excited. "Wherever you want to show me first is fine by me," it said, it's lips curving into a grin

(*horrified* SO SORRY!!!! )

Chimney smiled, they could go to her room! She hadn't taken anyone there before! "Oh! I know where to go! follow me!" And at that she dashed out the door.
