"All right squad, let's go over our mission again."

The young clone squats before several mothkittens, the latter in various states of attentiveness. One's sprawled out on its back, watching Omega as she gestures, another sits watching her hand the way a cat would a laser pointer, and the last two are a pile gnawing on each other, paused for the moment as they watch her anew while still holding onto an ear or a tail in their mouths. Up in a tree behind them is a larger mothcat, appearing content enough to lounge as she watches the children at play.

"We'll be patrolling the southern perimeter of the city square," Omega details, using the twig she has in hand to start tracing a rough map in the dirt. "Launch and I will take point, then Trapper and Tumble, and Dart, you're our rear guard. We'll start out facing the lakeside and keep to this side of the road. -yes, that's it right there, Dart. Can I have my stick back?"

She sighs as the little mothcat tugs at the twig she holds, grinning as she shakes her head and tugs it back a little before letting the winged furball roll about with it. Turning her attention to the one she's called Launch, she holds her arms out to catch the mothkitten as he predictably leaps up. "Okay, I think we're all set. Trapper, Tumble, Dart, let's go." Nodding to herself, Omega stands, letting Launch hop back out of her arms before she turns towards the tree and salutes the larger mothcat.

"We'll be back soon, Tony. Sure you won't come with us today?" She'll take that yawn as a no. "All right then. We'll see you later," she giggles, turning to head along. Naturally the mothkittens are quick to drift off in different ways than she'd outlined, but she doesn't seem to mind terribly as she sticks to her 'patrol' assignment.

The girl shook her head. "Well, not with these little ones, at least," she said. "Maybe when they're older. I'd rather not let them go too far, especially if they like wandering." For now they seemed to know better than to go too far from mom.

He looked back at the moth cats again and wondered. "How long does it take for them to get bigger?" The king really was just asking because he was curious, but if she didn't want to answer that was totally okay too.

"I don't know," she said with a shrug. "Maybe Jon would know. They hang around the library the most, anyway." And since Jon apparently dwelled there, it stood to reason that he'd see the most of them.

"Moth cats and libraries, that sounds like an interesting combination." Noctis smiled. And then he realized he didn't even know there was a library here. Of course he was almost always not home and out fishing or hunting.

"But I guess if I'm that interested I can find out."

Omega had no reason to push him to it, anyway. She would have been surprised to find out Noctis hadn't known about the library, although to be fair it wasn't much of one for the lack of a proper collection of books. Still, the map proclaimed it as such, although Omega hadn't much experience with libraries to really know what to expect of a fully functioning one.

She got up, dusting herself off and flicking stray hairs off of her clothes. "You've never been there, then?" she asked. "It's this building right behind us."

He watched Omega get up and dust herself off. But he had to shake his head at her answer. "Haven't been to one in..." And then he thought. The royal library was destroyed, but the library wasn't a place he'd stopped on his way into the Citadel that night to take care of what needed to be taken care of.

So Noctis smiled. "About ten years."

Ten years was more than half her own lifetime. Libraries seemed like an important place and resource if one had access to them, but Omega can only assume that Noctis had his reasons.

"I've never been to one before, but I was told there's supposed to be a lot more books and things. There wasn't anything left in this one."

He nodded. "That'll give me a place to start then." He could only imagine his advisor's face and the comments he'd hear about an empty library. So Noct smiled. "But you said you haven't been there at all?"

"Jon's been trying his best. I think he'd be the person to ask about library things." She shook her head. "But I've never been to any outside of this one here, so I don't really have something to compare it to."

"I'll see about finding him then. But the ones we have back home are full of books, and maps and all sorts of other things." Noctis replied as he tried to think of how splendid the royal library was at one point.

Ignis spent way more time in there than he did and it was only now that he wished he'd had the brains to read through the old tomes that had no doubt been destroyed in the attack so long ago now.

He sighed, thinking he should probably go find this guy and let Omega get back to her training. "I'm gonna go, do you need anything?"

Training was certainly a very loose term by now. Her troop had gamboled off a while ago, but it hadn't been outside of Omega's realm of expectation. She smiled up at Noctis, shaking her head.

"No, I think I'm fine," she said. Maybe she'd have to reconsider her training regimen.

Noct nodded. "Alright, if you need anything let me know, and good luck with the training."

With that he smiled and started walking off.

"I will," Omega said, giving him a nod and a wave. She watched him head off before she turned to resume her own walk.
