…Thank you, Sissel. Guess I should start feeding the you that I have back home the fancy stuff, huh?
You don’t have to - he will still love you. I always did.

…Even if things don’t end up working for me…At least there’s some kind of version of me out there that’s happy.
Though I can’t say I feel any better with you stuck as I am. There’s no end to it, you know.
I know that there’s no end, Yomielle. And I don’t mind.
And I already said, I’m going to keep an eye on you. So that your future will be a good one...

redletter-spirit:
Ha, really?
You’re making the rest of us look bad, you know.
…A good life. With the people that killed me? Your time must be so…different. Backwards, even.
You think so? Well, I never had a reason to kill anyone, right? I had a good life.
My time is so very different from yours, Yomielle. And at the same time, it was exactly the same.

redletter-spirit:
You haven’t…
She looks off into the distance, away from him like she doesn’t really want to say it herself.
…Done anything, have you?
You mean killed? No. Never. I just saved some lives.
[If he could, he would probably shrug now, but instead of he gentle licked the tips of Yomiel’s index finger.]
Don’t worry. I’ve had a good life the last ten years.

redletter-spirit:
Ah, sorry. I’m so used to the you that I have back home.
…How do you stand it?
No problem, Yomielle. Don’t worry.
[He rubs his head against her fingers, even if he didn’t even feel the touch, and keeps purring.]
Good. I got used to it. And I found other ways to… feel. Even if it’s no real feeling, of course, but just something like imagination.

My cat knows more than I do. That’s depressing.
She crouches down to his level, chuckling to herself as she reaches behind his ear.
Sounds like you’re just trying for more treats. The more Yomiel’s, the more you get, right?
[When Yomielle reaches out one hand, touching him behind his ear Sissel starts immediately to purr.]
Maybe it sounds like that, yes… but treats...

What are you, my babysitter?
There’s an indignant tone to her voice, but a smile on her face.
Do you try to take care of all of us?
Maybe?
I always tried to make Yomiel happy. To make him smile again. But I was just a cat, I wasn’t able to do anything for him.
But now I can. I can help him and you, because now I have powers I didn’t have before. I have very...

redletter-spirit:
I met one of me. One that was alive, but he said he’d rather not talk about how that happened for him. It was strange, he remembered being like me too, but…
Like I said, he said he felt that if he told me what happened, it might stop it happening for me…whatever that means.
…I guess that must have been the one from my time.
It means that you still have a chance for an...

Well, I can’t really say how far ‘back’ I am since I don’t know what point you’re starting from.
A good friend, huh? You sure come from a funny timeline.
Still, of all the, eh, ‘people’ to take that damned rock, figures you’d be the one to do it.
You did always do your best to keep me happy. Well, still do, technically.
I’m usually starting from the day we met...

…Was that her name? Hm. Well at least I have a name rather than a face to blame now.
So…you’re in the same position as me, then? The whole thing of being…dead but not.
…you seem to be far back if you don’t even know her name anymore.
Yes, her name was Lynne. And she’s a good friend of mine.
Not feeling anything? Not aging? Not being able to get hurt...

redletter-spirit:
Yomielle, not that much of a far cry, huh.
Butthatdoesn’texplainthewholetalkingthingdoesit.
Yomielle then.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention. Back then, ten years, when you took that… girl hostage - was Lynne even a girl for you…? - however, when you took her hostage, and the meteor crashed on the Earth, the fragment hit me instead of you.

redletter-spirit:
…
It finally happened, didn’t it?
I’ve snapped and now my cat is actually talking back to me.
Gods above, my sanity was all I had left.
Nothing happened, Yomiel… or what shall I call you? What’s your name?
However… you haven’t lost your sanity, don’t worry. I’m not… your Sissel. I’m another Sissel.
I’m from a time,...

You must be the woman Yomiel was talking about… it’s nice to meet you.
I’m Sissel - but I guess you know that, right?
revengefulspirit:
You do what you can, you know that, right? And you do it well.
Dunno where I’d be without you, Sissel, really.
[A weak attempt at a smile, but one all the same.]
Like her? I dunno. I barely know her, to be honest.
But Yomiel…
…why don’t you talk to her? You’re lonely… and she’s probably lonely too. You two could comfort each...

revengefulspirit:
Hey, it’s not … it’s not your job to make me happy, Sissel. I’m taking care of that. Don’t worry.
[Or, well, he was. He’s not even sure what he’s doing anymore.
Things are different from how they were just months ago.]
Yeah, maybe. I’m sure she’d be happy to meet you.
But I want to make you happy. I want to comfort you, to make you smile, to ease your pain. But I’m...
revengefulspirit:
You’re my cat, not my mom, you know.
And yeah, she’s … somethin. She’s where I am, I guess. I haven’t really asked her. But she’s … smart, at least. Seems like it’s redundant to describe someone who’s basically me, but there you go.
I know. But you took care of me when I was lost and all alone. Isn’t it just normal that I want to take care of you too?
If I already...
revengefulspirit:
You always say that, Siss.
[Not that it’s really gotten less weird that his cat can talk, but, hey.]
But it’s true, I guess. You seen the other ones of me yet? There’s a girl, now, too.
And I always feel bad for not keeping an eye on you. Or leaving you alone too long.
Yes, one took care of me when I lost my memory and my body not too long ago. And I… talked to...
