And Ivan comes charging into the kitchen barking

And the static cat is trying to somehow to find the 'highest point' of Thistle's hair

"GAH"

while tiny shocks dance

"It's attacking you!" Gwen says "I'll tell Ivan to get it off... he could snap it's neck in one bite!"

Gwen puts the food on a counter drawing her spear!

"COULDJA ALL CALM THE FURK DOWN?"

Ivan is ready to leap at the kitten, even on top of thistle's head, the big dog would have NO trouble...

but Gwen orders "Down, Sit"

And Ivan obeys instantly

Gwen says "Okay... but.. ah, is that thing giving you electric shocks?"

Wudlig is snickering "Nah, she's just got a bright idea"

"It..." Yelp. "is." Squeak. "Scared. GAH."

"Ah, want me to knock it offer your head with my spear butt?"

BIG sparkle eyes

"Ye-ayyaahhhh!"

"Hold it hold it.. I got rubber gloves" Wudlig grabs the cat which goes furious, but is held sparking.. and now OFF Thistle's head

"Now... stop fighting me you little twerple... I'll throw it outside" Wudlig offers

Ivan perks. Maybe now that it is off the head he'll be allowed to eat..er I mean chase it?

Thistle gently falls back to the floor. "Ow."

"Sorry Thistle... " Gwen says "Yeah, go drop it outside, Wudlig. Thanks."

Thistle gets a hand offered to her by Gwen "you okay? Do we need to take you to Rivervale for healing? You don't seem burnt"

"Though your hair is.. a bit wild"

"I'm just gonna lay here, thanks."

"Electrikitty got spooked."

"Okay Um.. I got your sphaghetti" Sheepish

the cat is released outside

"let's hope the weird chimera in this area don't try to follow us home" She adds

Wudlig comes in, grabs some grub "Thanks, Gladiola" And goes off to eat

As for Thistle? Okay. Room isn't spinning. In fact, she has some ideas

or is that just synapses jingling?

She rumples her hair. It crackles.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome" Rocky says, then looks about "Actually looks like you got some progress done. "

"Sure. Some."

"Good bones, just, y'know, the parts done by a hack around them."

"We gotta make sure it is a good spot for the baron to visit when he wants to come down here to see his son. I mean I don't know he's doing that, but if he does? I want it to be great for him. " A look around "The baron's given me so much"

"Right? Ooo, maybe we could do one of the bedrooms up for Connor?"

"Well the attic is free of wasps" She ponders

"Which is very important."

"We could tweak that for him to a pretty lare bedroom and play room both"

more sounds from the office

"Assuming Wudlig doesn't tear the house down with secret doors and passages"

"I'm sure it'll be fine. Maybe I'll eat my spaghetti down here."

"On the floor?"

"Yeeeaahhhh."

"upsy daisy" Gwen picks her friend up and sits her gently down in a chair "Easy. There you go. I'll bring your food to you. Art would have my ass if I let Ivan step on you"

Thistle mumbles grumpily.

A tray is prepped and the sphagetthi, still warm thanks to the delivery box, is put before Thistle. It.. smells delicious

Gwen shakes her fingers after the static pop she got second hand "At least your hair is slowly lowering"
