Cats that are also cake. The cake acts as an extension of their bodies. But the cat itself is soft and fluffy.

[anyway what he's saying is that this woman fulfilled his deepest desire and he might ask for her hand in marriage.]

What the hell?! That's not fair, how does someone get a power to do that?

[ not that he wants a cat but holy shit my dude that would be an awesome party trick ]

... You okay?

[why is he shouting, does he want a cakecat?]

I'm fine! It's getting harder and harder to just be a good cook out here with people like that showing up.

But the cat isn't edible.

[so it doesn't infringe on his cooking skills, or whatever.]

Still not fair that someone can create life using an oven and I'm just over here making normal stuff.

[... why are you like this, bro.]

Could ask her how she does it if you want to bake something to life that badly.

[ cooking is my domain!! ]

It's not even about the baking stuff to life thing, it's like... how the hell is someone supposed to compete with that?

You don't. Just accept defeat with dignity.

[hopefully his words offer some comfort.]

[ since when does he accept anything with dignity. ]

Definitely making me feel better, Duo.

[ annoyed sarcasm thanks!! ]

I'm always here to offer moral support.

[thumbs up]

Ugh... Well, whatever, she's gonna make her cake cats and I'm just gonna make edible stuff I guess.

[ he still feels a little pouty. he's gonna partly blame it on the head injury too ]

You only stop by for the laundry?

Gonna stay over today.

[ he might be feeling awkward around Duo for Reasons, but... ]

Everything okay over there?

[he leans against the wall beside the bed that Acheron is sitting on, inwardly searching for an answer to that question.]

... It's alright.

[and it is, mostly.]

I sense some hesitance in that answer.

[grumbles.]

If you wanna say it, say it. It's not gonna go outside these walls.

[he doesn't feel like it but... Acheron asked him to talk more about this shit. so.]

Sometimes I think I was better off as a Weed.

You think? I mean, is being a sheep cramping your style?

Not that. Weed powers work in the Mist. That's useful to Flocks, right?

[it wasn't much of an advantage, but it was one nonetheless. he felt he could just... do more as a Weed. though he knows the deal about being controlled by the wolf.]

Well, yeah. Not having powers is a problem when we need to go in there, so weeds are a lifesaver. But is being useful the only reason you're feeling like this?

Think so.

[that whole fish business with his team really highlighted how little he could do in comparison, without magic. he trusts his skills as an assassin and values them, but the gap between him and his team seems big.]

You don't need powers to be useful, right?

Is what I wanna say, but this place is messed up. I mean, look at the cake cat crap. Not that that's useful exactly, but... I mean there's always some guy who can do more than you.

[he's not even sure what he's looking for, other than to be open, like Acheron wants him to do.]

That's different. It's difficult to always help my team out when I'm at a disadvantage.
