[The feed turns on to reveal a large, sunlit meadow that clearly showcases the work of someone who has been working with the magic dirt; a gazebo stands in the center of the clearing, simple in design and yet possessing an old-fashioned sort of charm. The outline of the Monsigny apartment complex can be seen some distance away, a recognizable shape

[NOPE!!!]

Ha, you look really cute like that!

[a beat.] I'll come get you. Some of the cats around might think you're a mouse.

[um rude she isn't cute??? get out.]

Ah, Utena-san....you're too kind, but I'm afraid you're mistaken on that account. [She takes her tail in her tiny hands, inspecting it.] Yes, they might, even with these new...features. I think I can handle myself well enough if that happens, though.

[it's not rude shut up!!!]

Gosh, you're so small. [She shakes her head.] I don't want to risk you getting e--[MAYBE THAT ISN'T THE BEST CHOICE OF WORDS. she backtracks!!] er, caught by anything. I'll pick you up right now.

[nekofinale]

I'm aware of that, yes.

[Mami doesn't directly respond to that near-slip, but it isn't hard to guess what Utena almost stumbled into saying. The ears flatten once more, and she glances away. There's a pause before she speaks up again, voice still squeaky.] Can you find the place all right? It's in a meadow just behind Monsigny-san's apartments.

[ofnobility]

Yeah, I'll find it in no time! [DETERMINED!

The Vine takes this as a cue to end the conversation, and Utena disappears from view. Not very long after, she arrives at the gazebo, a little out of breath. She searches the ground for Mami, being sure to step carefully. She doesn't want to crush her when she'd run all this way to rescue her.]

Mami-san! It's me, Utena. Where are you?

action;

[nekofinale]

[Mami peeks around from behind the gazebo, having taken to walking around looking up at her creation while waiting for Utena. Her ears are twitching, picking up the sound of the other girl's voice.]

Mm? I'm over here, Utena-san.

[Her voice remains a muted squeak, easy to miss unless one is listening. Mami moves into plain sight, dusting off her skirt, and repeats herself in a louder voice.]

Right here!

action;

[ofnobility]

[Utena notices the tiny figure, and kneels down in front of Mami. She can't quite help the elated smile that spreads across her face.] Wow...you're about as big as Chu-Chu.

[She holds out her hand.] Here, you can climb up, and I'll get you home.

action;

[nekofinale]

I...beg your pardon? Chu-Chu? [Polite confusion mixed with just a little bit of exasperation at the look on Utena's face; she doesn't yet clamber up onto the hand.

The tail swishes, curls around one of her legs.]

action;

[ofnobility]

Chu-Chu. [Utena's eyebrows knit together as she thinks of a way to explain what Chu-Chu is.] Hm, he's a friend of Himemiya's.

action;

[nekofinale]

Quite a curious friend, if he's this size. [Finally a bit of disdain slips into her tone; the topic of Himemiya is still not a pleasant one for her, even with the dream business now in the past.] Let me guess; he's a pet.

action;

[ofnobility]

[She looks the slightest bit surprised at that tone of voice, and shakes her head.] No, he's not a pet, really...I thought so at first, but they're more like friends. [A bit of nostalgia creeps into her tone, and for a moment she looks a little sad.] He's my friend too. [She hadn't realized how much she missed the both of them.]

We should get going, don't you think?

action;

[nekofinale]

[That brief expression of unhappiness gives Mami room for pause, and her tiny gold eyes search Utena's face. Feeling a little abashed in spite of herself, she decides to merely nod and carefully begin the climb into Utena's hand. Mami tries to make the attempt as dignified as possible...but it's hard to have dignity when you're so small and silly-looking.]
