The comfort objects answer here has a lot of things that pertain to this, actually! Not to re-iterate the other answer, but a hot bath - one that’s a bit too hot, really. She can be alone (or with her ‘Wolf’, he’s allowed bc he doesn’t stress her out so much anymore :P), no one can bother her, the hot water is sort of just...cleansing. She can shed the day - and the emotions. But she really has to get out of whatever situation is working her up - much like a real cat, overstimulation is real, and once she reaches a certain point...she isn’t very clear-headed and needs to remove herself from the situation; she’s pretty emotionally stunted and doesn’t know how to cope in the moment sometimes if she’s caught off guard/triggered. Exercise is a good option, too - a nice, long run to clear her head, and again sort of...just cleanse body and mind. Chin-ups. Run. Practice martial arts. Go on a hunt. She’s a cat! She likes to be moving. But! Like the cat she is, a good bask in the sun is nice, too. So long as it’s not at a noisy beach or something. (A lot of these involve heat, and exercise, haha!) And depending on the emotion, drawing in her sketchbook or playing something on piano works, as well!  (Once again, Ketsuchi comes up - he’s also learned most of the telltale signs of her discomfort when she’s triggered/anxious/upset, and he’s gotten pretty good at distracting her with a little light teasing to take her mind off of the ‘thing’ and put it on him...or he suggests a bath together and she’s ready to think about/do that instead.)

(One of these days, I’ll actually write the story I took screens for.) Either tormenting her twin brother, or trying to get into the tribe’s weapon stash - she was a little too eager to grow up and go on hunts with the other women, and it got her in trouble now and then. She really wanted to use a spear, and was...obviously much too small for it. (Now and then I ponder whether she should try to pick it up now.)

tbh if i were to put kahili in ffxi/v and she and jak ran into each other idk if they’d get along and be partners in crime or just butt heads bc that’s what she tends to do with mostly everyone she meets especially if they have similar personalities and i think that’s beautiful

Honestly though, her mouth has caused some problems for her. She doesn't really care though, as she speaks freely and doesn't see an issue with it.

“What kind of ignorant ‘bo-shite...of course I would. My life is more important than...pretty much anyone’s. Especially if I just met them - no skin off my back if some stupid asshole eats it instead of me.”

“Ah, fuck. Really, everyone I know is stubborn. Maybe it’s a trait I like in other assholes like me, hm?” Such a velveteen tone, soft as it is, hardly seems suited to profanities and sharply wielded words. “Fuck, probably the Wolf...well, motherfuckers are both wolves, really. Ironic, that. One’s a...well. I don’t know what to call us. He’s referred to me as a student, though the term rubs me the wrong way. He’s called me...a few things. I don’t think I like any of them.” The black-papered cigarette between her claws is ashed, and puffed on briefly - smoke trailing upward, as she speaks at last, “He is, quite simply, My Wolf. No one holds their ground like he does - and few care to try, with me. Suffice to say that when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object? The unstoppable force slows the fuck down.” Slowly, does she finish spilling smoke upward, before shrugging - a faint smirk lingering in the corner of her lips, “I love a challenge. And he is a complex one, my Wolf. As for the other? He’s...my friend. I lashed out at him in all ways except literal violence...and he stubbornly refuses to leave my side. Still.” She frowns to herself, wine-red lips twisting in a moue, “He’s always...around when my life goes to shit. When I’m on the cusp of a bender...he knows when to show up and make me put it down - drugs, alcohol. Maybe not the murder, but...we understand each other, there.” (( Mentions both @ketsuchikotetsu and @rukaen ! For the record, Kye, she still hates calling him that. But the irony makes her laugh. :P ))

Thanks for the ask! @miqojak​ & @neekaxiv​
