[The feed opens after this scene, as Zelos sets down his bag and accidentally causes the locket attached to open. They look to be in some area of the Station and Zelos is accompanied by what looks like grouchy black cat with a red scarf (who is no other than Mako who accidentally got turned into a cat by a feather). Also there's a baby dragon.]

Jeez- fine, Mako! I'll try! Stop giving me that look!

[Zelos sighs and tries to think how to do this. He's never actually tried to undo a curse or enchantment with magic before - he usually left that up to Raine. Just how was he supposed to do this? But he had to try something, so he makes a thinking noise for a moment before he snaps his fingers]

Okay, got an idea! Just hold still, okay? This takes concentration.

[He makes sure to be standing up so he can concentrate properly. Then, he starts channeling magic. Glowing light and glyphs appear around him. As he does so, water comes up from the ground, clean and sparkling with magic. The water starts to spin around the cat, until it forms a very large spinning bubble around him without getting him wet. Zelos meanwhile, looks like he's trying really hard to keep up concentration as he tries to recite the incantation he heard Raine say a lot]

Root of all creation...grant us the breath of- shit! Wait! That's the wrong one!

[And with that mess up, his concentration is broken. The glowing glyphs immediately dissipates and the sparkly water bubble? Well it immediately loses it's form and the water SPLASHES down on the cat. ]

MRRROOOOW!! [The cat freaks out, sneezing out a fireball in the process]

Whoa-! [Zelos jumps back away from the splashing water and FIRE, looking very startled]

...Oops?

[ a... pumpkin? what the heck his ears twitch attentively with her story, betraying his emotions as she talks, sometimes folding down in skepticism or distaste, but definitely perking up at the sight of the fire.

but he does do as flora asks, shaking himself much like a dog gets water out of its coat, starting with his head, his ears twitching, and ending with his tail. it doesn't do anything immediately, but the blue feather tangled up in the knot holding his tiny scarf in place is pulled away from his fur, so hopefully......

eventually... ]

Yes, a pumpkin. [She's good with animals and can read your kitty skepticism, Mako.

But she smiles brightly when the feather reveals itself during his shakeout. So she was right, after all! Excellent, maybe he'll change back.

Any moment now....]

Um...

[ any.... momeOH THERE WE GO. there's a rather tall fellow sitting where the cat was before, looking relieved and slightly bewildered. apparently the gold eyes weren't a cat only thing, because his are clearly the same color, and with his dark clothes and red scarf, it's not hard to see how the feather made him shift into a cat the way it did.

delighted that dad is big and safe now, the little dragon that has been watching the whole spectacle squeaks in delight and crawls into his lap, twining around his forearm and trilling happily. ]

Oh.

[Flora clasps her hands, delighted.]

Oh, wonderful! I was wondering if I might have to come and try reversing it myself.

[Also wow is that a dragon--okay no first thing's first.]

I'm glad that worked.

[ still startled, mako holds up one of his hands to inspect it, make sure it's not, you know, a paw, before focusing properly on flora in the locket, his other hand idling scratching at the baby dragon behind the ears. ]

Me too.
