You tell Jasper that you know how uncomfortable this is, but they’re really helping here, and their actions here could be the first step towards the cage rebelling against its god. Jasper gives a slight nod of acknowledgement, waiting for more.
You tell Jasper that it looks like the cage likes nice feeling textures, and that their scarf may do as a little something to fiddle with. You don’t even get to explain further as Jasper rips off their scarf, the cage watching with rapt attention. The cage type follows every movement as Jasper wiggles the scarf around, batting at it like the small cat it is. Jasper hands the scarf over, and the cage practically dances, hopping from foot to foot and waving the scarf like a treasured new flag.
Jasper relaxes. Even with this TCP’s size, it’s getting harder and harder to see it as a threat. Even so…Jasper looks troubled for a moment, shaking it off and saying that they want to talk to you about something later.
