[hr]

Kendall sat outside of the offices in the PRT. They were instructed to by the official handling all of their paperwork and their mom, as to give them time to discuss some matters that needed sorting out in regards to them being a Ward. Their legs were kicking back and forth in the chair as they waited, occasionally looking down at their hands to observe them changing between the normal state they were in and the amorphous tentacle form they could be.

Silvia was making her way around the PRT building trying to get a better idea of where everything was, she’d only been there two weeks and hadn’t been able to commit the layout to memory yet. While it was hard for her to walk through so many pairs of eyes she knew she’d have to get more used to it if she was going to be a cape, especially a cape with an appearance as distinct as her own. At this point Silvia was close to where Kendall was sitting, but since she had no idea who the girl was she was continuing on her way.

[color=fbec5d]”Hello, Sylph!”[/color] Kendall’s voice squeaked as they waved their hand. [color=fbec5d]”Are you having a bit of a tough time learning your directions around here? It looks like you’re kind of lost…”[/color] Kendall had to admit, looking up at the mighty Sylph was scary, especially when she’s about double their height, but it would only be minorly changed if Kendall was… [i]her.[/i]

Silvia jumped as she heard her hero name called out, her tail curled up slightly and she looked around for the culprit. And she was a little surprised to see a rather small girl looking up at her, she then quickly looked around and rubbed the back of her head. She must be in the wards section or something. [color=darkkhaki]”I uhhh… Y-yes I am a little lost...”[/color] Silvia felt her cheeks heat up from the embarrassment. [color=darkkhaki]”Oh um, you can call me Silvia if you want to. Sylph is my on duty name. What brings you here?”[/color]

[color=fbec5d]”I’m becoming a ward! My mom finally gave me permission! She’s just in there, filling out some paperwork.”[/color] Kendall giggles as they stand up. [color=fbec5d]”I mean, I’ve been fighting crime for a while as my alter-ego, but now I get to do it on a team! I’m excited!”[/color] Kendall squeals with excitement, bouncing up and down with pure and eager joy.

Silvia smiled down at the girl. [color=darkkhaki]”Congratulations! You seem like you’ve wanted this for some time.”[/color] Silvia decided to crouch down a little as to not loom over the girl like a tree. [color=darkkhaki]”I hope you like the teammates you get paired with. Hopefully I’ll be part of a team soon too.”[/color] Silvia did like the idea of being in a team, but that also meant being around people a lot. And she really did worry about what people thought of her, so if she got put into a team and the team didn’t like her and they thought she was scary or thought she was dangerous or! [color=darkkhaki][i] Enough Silvia! Stop worrying![/i][/color] Silvia smile went a little awkward as she tried to maintain her composure. If talking to a kid could get her this worked up how the heck could she be part of a team?

[color=fbec5d]”We have… hehe…”[/color] Kendall noticed the situation becoming more tense and tense as Silvia became visibly stressed, Kendall finally stepping up and hugging the dragon girl. Unfortunately, her arms couldn’t wrap entirely around Silvia, but she tried to get them as far as they could go around her without their power becoming prevalent. [color=fbec5d]”I think you have pretty good odds, Silvia.”[/color]

Then the arms turned slick as they wrapped all the way around Silvia’s waist, the only part Kendall could easily hug around with how much substance they had in their body.

Silvia was shocked to say the least when the kid clung to her. She’d not actually been hugged before, at least not in the two weeks she could remember. Her tail slowly lowered to the floor and her wings drooped slightly, what an experience. [color=darkkhaki]”I-I-I-uh th-thank, thank you?”[/color] Silvia was pretty stunned and formulating a proper sentence was not something she could do at this point. She ignored the strange feeling on her back and gently lowered one of her own arms down and slowly wrapped it behind this girl. What a kind little sou- wait a second, did she say we? Nevermind.

Well maybe Silvia wasn’t as scary looking as she once thought, kids didn’t seem to be afraid of her, if the charity event and this girl here shared the opinion of the majority of other kids. [color=darkkhaki]”I-umm I’m sorry but I’ve not caught your name.”[/color]

[color=fbec5d]”Well, you caught one of my names yesterday, but I’m Ke-.”[/color] the kid stopped speaking suddenly as they backed up, trying not to speak and risk vomiting all over the offices. The tarry arms of Mastar were clearly evident now as Kendall looked back at Silvia, finally finishing her statement. [color=fbec5d]”K-Kendall… sorry. The power does that sometimes.”[/color]

Silvia was a little shocked when she saw Kendall’s arms were made of… Tar? Wait a minute, Kendall said she caught another one of her names yesterday. No way. This adorable little thing was the cape Mastar! The one who commented on how endowed Silvia and herself were! And this girl had just hugged her around the waist! Or was she going to reach for the butt!? Oh god oh jeez oh man! Silvia quickly stood back up, her left foot tapping on the ground, with a sound that was much more obvious than she liked. [color=darkkhaki]”O-oohoh oh no problem, no problem at all. It wa-was nice to meet you K-kendall. I better get g-going, I wouldn’t want to keep you from becoming a ward and all that. H-have a nice day!”[/color] Silvia quickly started walking away looking down at the floor.

[color=darkkhaki][i]AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH![/i][/color]

[color=fbec5d]”Silvia, w-wait…!”[/color] Kendall awkwardly stood there, watching Silvia run away in pure unbridled embarrassment. All they could do was hold their hand out in a vain effort to keep Silvia’s attention. [color=fbec5d]”I’m sorry if I said anything bad…”[/color] Disheartened, the kid walked over to their seat and sat back down, looking at the floor and no longer kicking their feet. [color=fbec5d]”... oh carrotsticks.”[/color]
