[ after making sure they've gathered up all their belongings, mal follows after nico back to the cabin. she smiles at oreo. the skeleton cat is cute. far cuter than most living animals. ( some part of mal still isn't over not getting her own kitten or baby moray eel or hyena cub when she was six and she wasn't invited to evie's birthday party. another still associates animals with her mother's raven, diablo, who would caw and peck at her and one time drew blood. mal hated that animal.
she made her peace with dude. mal would sit in one side of the room and dude would not whimper for carlos or jay or evie. peace achieved with animalkind. )
but as much as she likes the cat, she likes nico smiling more. he's happy and mal is happy to have made him happy. even if this cat had hated her too, mal would still have offered her power just to see nico like this.
the entire scene is precious and mal will happily give a black eye to any misinformed or uneducated beholder. ]
