Kind of! Remus has a castle for the aesthetic and to mirror Roman, but he has no use for it so he made all the rooms into environments for Deceit and Virgil. The dungeons are actually an ocean! Sometimes you just want to be a jellyfish or something for a while.

The throne room is a cozy living room with sunlight filtering through windows and lots of warm places, perfect for when one or both of them is a cat. The walls are covered with shelves and scratching posts for them to climb, and there are places where they can hide away, plus toys and plants.

I'm really just picturing that "If I jump at [person] they will catch me" "Don't, I'm holding coffee!" meme but with Janus, Remus and Virgil-

this was cute but what if angst-

because what if Janus gave that permission before Virgil left, and even if they're friends again, Virgil doesn't know if he still has that permission-

also Remus attach himself as a koala to Janus, probably with tentacles, to make up for the missing person

"So what about the others?" Logan breaks the silence, once the chaos of the reveal has settled. Anxiety and Deceit are both standing rigidly; Remus has slung his arm around their shoulders in a move that look relaxed but is definitely protective.

"What others, teach?" Remus asks. Anxiety and Deceit share a glance, most likely communicating silently.

"It's been established that two of your pets were actually Anxiety and Deceit, but what about the others?"

"Those were- weren't us." Deceit speaks up, his s-sounds drawn out with an almost hissing lilt.

Logan nods. It does make sense that they would be able to shapeshift into multiple forms, and that explains why they never saw more than two animals at any given time.

"Could you repeat that, kiddo?" Patton asks, a look of confusion on his face.

Instead of answering out loud, Deceit shapeshifts first into a snake and then into a hummingbird. He doesn't shift back into a human.

"Oh."

The soft sound comes from Roman, whose cheeks have flushed at the realisation of who has been nestling into his hair over the years. Logan can't tell if he's embarrassed or flustered.

He doesn't get much time to think about it as Patton screams. Anxiety has shifted into a spider, and is currently running up Remus' arm to find somewhere to hide.

Pffft.

It's a mix of things! Roman just generally has the best viewing spot; Patton on one side, Logan on the other, and Thomas pretty much in front of him. And being Remus' twin, Roman is automatically considered the safest option. He and Remus are just alike enough in body language and personality for Deceit to know what to expect.

And well, Roman undoubtedly takes the best care of his hair.

Ugh arguments

Oh! It would take a few weeks from their introduction as sides for it to really sink in that all of them could shift into animals if they wanted to. Actually, it would probably take Remus shapeshifting for Roman to realise that it isn't just a special power that Virgil and Janus has.

First time that Virgil appeared as a spider, he appeared on Patton's shoulder. It was awful for both of them; Patton screamed and panicked, and Virgil disappeared immediately.

The full moon shinning on the treetops!
