[ Luckily for Adora, Catra is in a better mood than she's been. She's not doing too well these days. This place has her questioning a lot of things, and, well, she's not exactly very fond of that.

Things like practicing on her skateboard, though, get her out of her head, the velocity sometimes enough to give her a kick of euphoria.

So now, she grins at Adora. ]

Oh, this? It's a skateboard.

[ Easy as that, she performs a kickflip. Because of course she has to show off a little. ]

Which, you know, I thought I told you, but you were too busy with your winged horse to notice.

Well, yeah. We were kind of fleeing a crowd at the time.

[That had been a long, crazy day. She hadn't really liked it at all, and Catra's toy had sort of slipped her thoughts.]

It's...really cool. Something you learned here?

[Is this a semi-normal conversation?]

[ Catra gives her a flat look in-between skating around her and doing more kickflips. ]

Well, yeah. Did we have something like this in the Fright Zone? No.

I don't know. Maybe there was one in all the ruins that I didn't know about?

[It's true. But then it would probably have jet engines like most First One's tech.]

...Who taught you?

[ For a moment, Catra debates with herself whether to reveal this information, but then she decides to go for it. ]

This boy, Roxas? I don't know if you've met.

[ That's a lie. She does know, since she's been kind of network stalking Adora. ]

We haven't met in person, but we did talk on that device thing.

[Catra...why you stalk?]

He seemed nice. Very friendly. Definitely sounded like he appreciates you.

[ tactical reasons

Catra frowns when Adora talks about appreciation. ]

Eh, he's tolerable.

Yeah? He seems nice.

[She knows you like him. Don't lie.]

Not as disgustingly nice as some people.

[ Pointedly looking at you, Adora! ]

Being nice is better than being a jerk.

[She sticks out her tongue.]

[ She shoots Adora a very pointed look. ]

I don't know. Has your niceness ever actually accomplished anything?

I did reform the Princess Alliance.

And, on a more recent level, I made a bunch of people here very happy.

[ Okay, she can't exactly the deny the Princess Alliance thing. Still, she sneers. ]

What'd you do, give them a light show?

I agreed to spar with some of them. I shared food with some. And I went horseback riding with another girl.

[So there!]

Nobody but you has even seen She-Ra.

[ Dryly: ]

And I'm sure you saved everyone's day.

I haven't needed to?

Honestly, this is...kind of a boring place. There's nothing to do but relax. Heck, my job's even easy. I think I'm going to go crazy.

[ Catra is... surprised and secretly kind of relieved that she's not the only one that feels this way.

Of course, she won't say that out loud. Instead, she'll shoot Adora a smirk. ]

Well, if you need some help with that...

[Adora...actually kind of blushes at that. She hasn't really needed to fight, or felt like she needs to fight Catra since she arrived beyond some brief clashes, so there's other thoughts floating through her head.]

N-No...not really?

[ What a strange reaction! Catra tilts her head. ]

Wait, what did you think I was talking about?

I don't know? I just figured you were thinking of something...nefarious.

[Good save, Adora. Except she's not really all that convincing.]

And I'd rather not wind up getting you on the cover of more magazines.

[ Catra gapes, her mouth opening and closing a few times, then she crosses her arms. ]

As if that was only your doing!

Well, no. But I didn't help, and I know you don't like it.

[It is totally fine if Adora has stalkers, but Catra doesn't deserve that.]

[ Oh, Adora, always so noble and protective.

Which is, of course, exactly what Catra hates. She throws her arms out in frustration. ]

Will you stop trying to protect me already?

It's not about protecting you, it's about stopping something you don't like! Or would you rather be on the cover of every magazine?

[She rolls her eyes and mutters:]

Pretty sure I could make sure that happened.

[ Catra's ear twitches. She caught that. ]

Oh yeah? You'd go out of your way to put us in the magazines? How would you even do that?

[ Her voice and eyes are full of challenge! ]
