Chapter 5
Adora might have been able to pass this off as a dream if she wasn’t currently shaking hands with an actual, living, breathing, centaur.
“Nice to meet you, Adora, I’ve been waiting for you to join us ever since Catra first joined us.” He said, and Adora finally had to accept that yes, this was reality. “And Catra, you do remember you don’t need to wear your hat here?”
Adora turned to look at Catra confused-- her hat?
And then-- for the first time in her life-- Adora watched Catra remove her hat to reveal two, oh so fluffy, ears. Her heart stuttered at the sight-- she almost missed Catra’s belt pulling out of the loops and swaying behind her as a tail.
“How--?”
“Legacy of Poseidon, I inherited some shapeshifting powers, but not totally. I can only turn into felines and I’m stuck with permanent ears and a tail.” Catra explained quickly and with finality-- a tone Adora recognized as ‘I don’t want to talk about this any more than necessary.’
Adora could only stare in shock.
“I believe you’ve had quite a bit of shock today. Catra, if you could I’d advise that you escort Adora to the medical wing for a check-up and a nap,” the centaur-- Chiron, if she remembered his name correctly, said. Catra gave what Adora assumed was an affirmative flick of her ears and took Adora’s hand, guiding her back out of the Big House.
