She did not even say <em>hello</em> to the Descendant Ryusei. Kyless knew the Descendant Ryusei was not going to be as best to Marceline as the Doctor Toshiro was, but still, Marceline <em>should</em> have greeted Ryusei, a Descendant. The Doctor Toshiro was <em>always</em> afraid of Kyless’ magic. The fact that he was wilted like a rotting flower after playing in her magic was not something new. <br/><br/>Though, how he spoke of the Human Mallory and the Descendant Ryusei was… <em>different</em>.<br/><br/>The trickster frowned as Ryusei <em>left</em> her too, to aid the Doctor Toshiro. Her blue-grey cheeks puffed out in uncertainty. The Doctor Toshiro said Mallory had made a mis… <em>Misstep</em>. Because she did not know the rules. <em>But this was a lie. It was un-true. The Human Mallory knew the rules.</em> She had told Kyless the rules, <em>again</em>, when Kyless had arrived at the boring and awful ‘shopping’ place. The Humdrum Kevin was in that place too, and even <em>he</em> knew the rules for Mallory. He told Kyless to <em>behave</em> with the human Mallory. So the human Mallory did know the rules, and therefore she knew she had broken them. She <em>was</em> a cheater. <em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. Kyless pulled her long legs up to her chest, clasping them tightly. <em>Mallory was a cheater and a human.</em> A silly, foolish human. And always, eventually, these silly, foolish humans left Kyless, and did not want to play with her anymore. The Human Mallory did not want to play with her anymore. The Human Mallory left her. This was true. <em>Why would the Doctor Toshiro not say this? Why would he lie? He lied about the ‘shopping’ place too, it was not-Outside. Not even close to The Outside, or ad-ja-cent to The Outside.</em><br/><br/>The 'shopping' place was also so horrid that neither her or Ryusei had spent any human time there. Of course, Kyless could not say <em>this</em> to the Doctor Toshiro, or else both her and the Descendant Ryusei would be in trouble and would not be allowed to be together anymore. <em> Ryusei said she could keep him. He said he wanted to keep her too.</em> <em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. Kyless turned her horned, belled head and watched as Ryusei used <em>his</em> magic. <em>Another portal, but it was so small! And it was for the Doctor Toshiro.</em> Doctor Toshiro seemed to like the Descendant Ryusei’s magic, but this was <em>un</em>-surprising, as Ryusei was a <em>Descendant</em>. Every <em>some</em>thing should adore the magic of a Descendant. <em>But… why could the Doctor Toshiro not like her magic, even for a little?</em> He said humans did not like it when her magic was frightening. But he was afraid of <em>all</em> of her magic, even when she made trees! Trees hurt <em>no</em>thing. Especially trees that where <em>not</em> real. <br/><br/>And Kyless had not wished to create <em>that</em> many places with her magic, but she had so many waiting for Toshiro’s bracelet to come off! Ryusei said they were beautiful and wonder… <em>Wonderful</em>, but… He also said she <em>could</em> be frightening. <em>Was… this a lie? Her magic could not be both.</em> If a <em>some</em>thing found her magic frightening, then they would <em>leave</em> Kyless. Just like the Human Mallory did, before, today, <em>this</em> day. Kyless rubbed her big, golden eyes. They were tired, heavy. Still heavy. <em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. Both Marceline and the Descendant Ryusei were helping the Doctor Toshiro. But Kyless did not want to help the Doctor Toshiro, she wanted the Doctor Toshiro to help <em>her</em>.<br/><br/><em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. The trickster stood on her bare, lumpy, white mattress and <em>swayed</em> a little bit. Now that the fuzz had disappeared things felt… <em>un</em>-steady. “Doctor To-shi-ro?” the demoness chanted, singing his name into three, ringing syllables. “Doctor Toshiro!” His hand was still <em>in</em>side of the Descendant Ryusei’s portal. Kyless wondered where this portal went. For a moment more, she wondered if she would get to go wherever the Doctor Toshiro was, but then realized that she was foolish for doing so. She hardly <em>ever</em> got to go where the Doctor Toshiro went, she just got to stay <em>here</em>, in her boring, bland cell that was certainly <em>not</em>-Outside. “Doctor Toshiro,” Kyless chanted <em>still</em> as she swayed over to him, the tall human being stuck to the ordinary ground of her cell. <em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. “Did you mean what you spoke? Did you mean it, Doctor Toshiro, that Ryusei will not like my magic?” It was a truly <em>ugly</em>thing to say, yes indeed. Her bare feet stopped, right next to the Doctor Toshiro's shoes. <em>Jingle</em>.<br/><br/>She did not have his bracelet on. <em>Marceline…</em> Kyless blinked her golden eyes at the not-cat, who was focused on the Doctor Toshiro. The Doctor Toshiro did <em>not</em> trust Kyless without <em>his</em> bracelet. “My magic cannot be small forever…” the trickster whispered, sadly. She wanted, <em>very much</em>, for these silly humans to play with her, including the Human Mallory, and the Humdrum Kevin, and especially the Doctor Toshiro but… not enough to make her magic <em>small</em>. Magic was alive. If it was small for too long, then Kyless could not be alive anymore. <em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. But the Doctor Toshiro did not trust Kyless when her magic was alive. And so, <em>instead</em> of touching him, the trickster turned and <em>left</em>, swaying towards the tables of the Doctor Toshiro’s strange medicine... <em>Medical</em> equipment.<br/><br/><em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. “Not done! Not done!” Kyless chanted excitedly, looking over all the <em>many</em>things on the cold and shiny surfaces. She was not certain <em>which</em>thing was the <em>right</em>thing. And if she could not decide on the one <em>right</em>thing… She would decide on <em>all</em> of the things. The trickster carefully collected a very many of the <em>pokers</em> and the <em>pressers</em> from one of the many shiny surfaces and carried them, so carefully, over to the seated Doctor Toshiro. He was very <em>quiet</em>. <em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. “The pears did not smell like pears, Doctor To-shi-ro,” said Kyless softly, repeating <em>some</em>thing she had <em>tried</em> to explain earlier, and very, <em>very</em> gently set the <em>many</em>things in the precious lap of the Doctor Toshiro, as if not to break them, whatever they were. Then the trickster scampered backwards, and sat on the boring ground, just two feet from him, right in <em>front</em> of his lost gaze. <em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. She looked down at the small pile of tools in his lap, and then back at his pale, shocked face with hope. “Still broken.” Kyless chanted, but it was <em>un</em>-clear if she was speaking of her nose, or the traumatized Doctor in front of her.<br/><br/>He might not have trusted Kyless, but Kyless trusted the Doctor Toshiro.</span>
