Cats and Birbs

A clumsy cat girl wasn't what Cleo had expected to encounter today. So when the girl had dropped a pile of books and fallen, Cleo did something on instinct, she caught her. The green haired girl would blink down at her and giggle a little, "easy there love, don't want you hurting yourself," she hadn't been expecting this, but she wasn't complaining.

Standing the girl back up, she'd give one of her cat ears a pet, and then starting to help her gather bet books. "I'm Cleo," she'd say, in her British accent, with her bright smile, "hope I didn't startle you." She'd brush a bit of her hair back out of her face, "gotta be careful, hate to see you get hurt."

Cleo would giggle at the adorable cat girl, "a pleasure to meet you Lexi, you have some cute ears there." Reaching into her bag she pulled out a water bottle, "here you go hun," she'd offer the water with a smile.

"And no need to apologize," she'd chuckle, "everyone falls sometimes, shoulda seen me a year ago when I first started flying." She'd grin, "I was falling into trees and bushes....just picture a big bird falling because she hasn't figured flying out."

She'd tap one of her fingers in the books, "where you taking these?" the girl would ask curiously. "I can carry them for you, can't sit back while you got such a load."

"Thank you hun," she'd say with a smile, "your hair is quite nice too." Stepping to Lexi she'd gently take half the books to carry for her, giggling with her, "oh but it's quite embarrassing, big phoenix failing at flying," she'd joked with a grin, "as for climbing, do be careful, though....I wouldn't mind catching you if you fall."

"Well I'll help you carry them there," she'd say with a smile as they walked, "oh, I'm a sophomore in high school," she'd say with a grin, "it's my second year here at Starlight actually." She'd giggle, "if you couldn't tell from my accent I'm from England."

"What about you hun?" she'd adjust the books in her own arms as they walked, "what grade are you in? You look around my age."

Cleo would blush at her calling phoenix the most beautiful birds in the world. "I wouldn't call us the most beautiful," she'd say with a smile, her blush not fading quite yet. "That said, I could show you my phoenix form after we drop off these books of you'd like." Her blush was starting to fade now, but her smile didn't fade.

She'd tilt her head curiously, "what'd you used to do when you climbed?" she'd ask, a curious look on her face, "don't need to feel embarrassed hun, though no need to tell me if you're not comfortable sharing."

Cleo would again blush at her accent being cute, "thank you Lexi," she'd smile and step a but closer to the cat gir. "You're quite sweet," she'd giggle, "I may have to hang around with you more after this."
