"Really?!" She hadn't actually thought Mermista would be interested. Entrapta acts self-assured, but she's fully aware that people tend to find her... odd. She's pleasantly surprised. "Come with me!" She shouts suddenly. One pigtail shoots out to wrap around Mermista's forearm, tugging the —

⠀ mermista calms down a little after hearing that. she may seem like she doesn't care most of the time, but she doesn't want to be impoded. 〝 well in that case, yeah. i would like to see this bomb demonstrated. 〞 she said, leaning on the wall. ⠀

Normally, this is the point where Hordak would explain things away, and Entrapta would allow the topic to be dismissed and moved on from. Normally, she would simply make a mental note to later log and analyze it. Normally, however, Hordak would've left her personal space by now, especially after —

"May I assist? It would take less time, and..." It was definitely all about completing their work in a timely manner, and definitely not about enjoying their time together. He trailed off, entranced by the subtle way her face changed as she lingered, face inches from his. --

“Got it! No music. For 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 bot, at least.” She already has her own bot programmed to help her meet her dietary needs on particularly busy days, but adding a musical playlist — to play only when Hordak’s not around — isn’t such a bad idea. She hadn’t actually been aware of the slow but steady —

She can try to multitask to cover how hard she's thinking, but he knows something's on her mind. Entrapta just has a certain look to her when the gears are turning, nevermind how he knows it so well. What's on that brilliant mind? "Music distracts from my work." A rather clipped, almost polite --

The sound of metallic screeching pulls her gaze down to Catra’s claws. Slowly, she brings the tape recorder close to her mouth again. “Catra Log Number Fifty-Nine: Yet another She-Ra incident. This time my work table paid the price,” she speaks into it before clicking it off again. Now she —

The look she gives him is pleased — and knowing. She’s fully aware that Hordak treats her differently than he does others; she’s actually been keeping a fairly extensive log on the matter. Unusually private, too, considering her affinity for thorough explanations about anything and everything to —

Intimidating warlord, intimidated by a tiny sandwich. He can't remember the last time he's had lettuce or tomato; the nutrient bars packed far more calories and vitamins in. But still, he took a bite. "Very well. You may do as you please as long as you manage your time well." He's still acting --

She blinks. “A gravity bomb!” She repeats, assuming the princess just hadn’t heard her. “It’s not ready for testing yet, but when it is, it will be far away from any populated areas, of course. Do you really think I’d set off a bomb close enough to cause casualties?” That only happened one time.

‍ ‍ * 𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀.@salineasruler.bsky.social · 7mo ago

⠀ 〝 um, a what? 〞 she wasn't expecting to hear that. 〝 uh, where will you be testing this exactly? i don't want it near me or salineas. 〞 ⠀

“Oh, I’ll likely need a few hundred more. It’s been a slow-going process, considering how closed off you are,” she responds. There’s no judgment, just a matter-of-fact statement. “But we’ll get there!” She’s working on the left hand now, just as gentle as she was with the right. “As for being —

Her smile widens, eyes crinkling at the sides, at the sight of Hordak’s reluctant compliance. Victory! “You 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 me!” One of her pigtails bends underneath her to give her something to sit on — despite the fact that there are numerous actual chairs around. “My statistically superior ability to —

"But one is adequate-" he starts to protest, and then she's gone. He looks over at Imp in the corner, and the little demon shrugs at him. And then she's back. With food. Dainty little princess food. His eyes narrow, but he doesn't exactly make any aggressive moves. If this were anyone else, he'd --

“Become what? Happy? Older? 𝘐𝘴 he older? How old are you, and how old is he, exactly?” She tilts her head, brows raised expectantly. Nothing she’s said is said with any underlying meaning — She’s genuinely just curious! That’s all!

@hordakhorde.bsky.social I pray to Prime I do not become you.

“I suppose you’re right. Life in the horde doesn’t seem very conducive to fostering creativity.” The cupcake is placed gingerly back on the tray before Catra’s swatting hand can make contact. In case Catra changes her mind. Entrapta’s hands are surprisingly gentle as they start their work, —

She can see the relief in his eyes, in the way his shoulders relax, in the way his fists uncurl. She mentally notes it, tucks it away for further analysis later on. Does it mean…? No, she’s tucking it away. Whatever it means, Hordak’s not willing to examine it, and if there’s one thing she’s —

𝕳𝖔𝖗𝖉𝖆𝖐@hordewarlord.bsky.social · 7mo ago

There's some kind of glimmer in her eyes for a moment. Is she overthinking things as much as he is? And then she responds like she's been let down. Did she expect something else? Something he was too broken to give her? He won't admit she's more to him than just a brain. And then she changes the -

She’s always been too wrapped up in her experiments, too ethically grey, too talkative about things that only she seems to care about. She’s grown used to the stares as she talks — at best, blank and confused, and at worst, disturbed and openly anxious. Most fall somewhere in the —

He shouldn't care for her, really. Her people are miserable ants and he doesn't particularly care what Prime does to them. But he'll keep this one. Is he selfish for enjoying her hours of rambling, or the way she knocks down his defenses? Is he stupid for telling her truths he should keep --

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 he is. Entrapta finds the red tinge to his cheeks especially endearing, but there’s something about the recovery, about him 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 with her like this, that perks her up like nothing else does. Her entire life has felt as though she’s standing outside a bubble, and everyone else is inside, —

Red blooms across his cheeks and nose for half a second before he composes himself and clears his throat. "Your concern is noted, but invalid. Who was it that recklessly ran towards a collapsing portal...?" He circles around her, lips curling into a smirk. This is banter to him, apparently.

“Aww, I like you, too.” She beams up at Hordak, patting him on the head with a pigtail. “But to put it in similar terms to yours — I’ll always take extra precautions when you’re around so as to ensure you don’t accidentally get blown up by one of my experiments.” Not that she’s ever accidentally —

𝕳𝖔𝖗𝖉𝖆𝖐@hordewarlord.bsky.social · 7mo ago

"No, it would be factual." He simply *can't* elaborate further and embarrass himself. He does it anyways. "Beyond your usefulness in my lab, your presence is... tolerable."

“A gravity bomb!” She repeats with absolutely no hesitation. She beams at Mermista, taking her question as genuine interest. “It pulls people to the epicenter of the explosion site. Do you want to see it?”

⠀ 〝 yeah, no problem. anyway, i hope whatever you are working on goes well. 〞 she said, as she turned to leave. but as soon as she did, she heard her mutter something. 〝 wait.... what exactly are you making? 〞 ⠀

"To live your life based entirely upon what's efficient rather than what interests you is a 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 boring life indeed, Catra." Now she's waving the cupcake back and forth in front of Catra's face. It's red velvet with crimson icing; she's determined to thoroughly test her hypothesis that Catra's —
