Quasar stood over Dovah, one paw frozen in midair. He wanted to help, but he stared at his own green paw in abject terror. Electricity zapped over the fur, popping softly against his flesh like a purr. But he took no comfort in the noise; he bit the inside of his cheeks, digging into a growing mound of scar tissue lining the inside of his mouth. How could he help Dovah?
“Stop moving! It’s okay! You’re not on fire!” Quasar barked. His words ran together and blended into the whine from his throat. “Dovah, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. So, so sorry, I had no idea… I didn’t mean to do any of this, I’m so sorry.”
His head lowered; he thwacked himself, green paw against green forehead. But the pain didn’t solve anything, only adding to the growing inconveniences, competing for attention alongside his battered ear. Teeth gritted, he opened his eyes and watched Dovah’s writhing, glancing at his electrified paw in obvious distress. He couldn’t do anything, and he hated himself for his own uselessness.
When Rinestonestar came over, Quasar was equal parts relieved and terrified. Dovah needed help, but… the sparkledoggo also feared repercussions. His yellow ears pinned back, and what he wouldn’t give to trade his fucked up power for single-use invisibility. As he internally crunched on what to say, Quasar chewed on his tongue and avoided looking at Rhinestonestar entirely.
“I shot lightning at him. I didn’t mean to, I swear it just… crackled and crackled until it came out!”
He would’ve elaborated more, but Nine grabbed and yanked him away, and his rationality vanished the instant the unwanted contact started. “Let go of me!” Quasar snarled. The crackling in his chest was soft, so faint, but it was his skin that burned. His body thrummed with energy, and he bit his tongue hard enough to taste blood. He thrashed the entire time he was in the air—not in a calculated way for combat, but out of wild instincts.
After Nine set him down, Quasar gnashed his teeth and snarled up at the jaguar. His blue eyes flung wide, and it was clear he hadn’t comprehended a single word Nine had said. “NO TOUCHING!!” A growl thrummed in his throat as Quasar snapped his teeth on empty air.
