★ cellbit has no idea that he regresses. he just thinks its him being overly tired and stressed and maybe he just needs a nap? and - uh, is bad okay? why is he looking at him so oddly?

★ when he's regressed, cellbit behaves uncannily like his younger self - minus the violence. naturally, as a result, bad picks up on it before anyone else, and can't help but baby cellbit. just a little bit. pulling him on a few adventures, teasingly offering to carry cellbit around when he complains that he's tired, walking him home afterwards - you know, little things!

including a cheerful "good work today, cellbit!" as bad rubs his head, and cellbit bunts into it with a happy prrp! and then immediately pauses in disbelief at himself while bad giggles fondly, reminded of simpler times.

★ bad has to tell roier what cellbit's regression is, but once he understands it, roier introduces it playfully. teasing pet names, "let me do this for you, gatinho <3" lovingly, until cellbit finds himself comfortably allowing roier to do things for him and fussing over him and showering him in affection whenever he feels soft and tired and like his body is too big for him.

★ typically, cellbit is a sleepy regressor. sometimes he gets playful, rowdy, wanting to do something fun, but he's easily distracted with card games or being encouraged to work on his ttrpg.

★ roier likes calling him "gatito" when he's regressed. "little kitty." cellbit thinks its embarrassing and gets flustered over it. (he likes it)

★ pac and mike are familiar with regression, but didn't realize that cellbit does it at first. but once pac realizes, he begs mike to give it a try, just trust him on this, and suddenly they're dragging cellbit on adventures around their factory, and at some point ;

★ pac realizes that cellbit will chase laser pointers directly into walls with a startled meow when regressed, and laughs himself into tears of delight about it while cellbit gives him a sad, confused look, rubbing his now-sore head from where he slammed into the wall.

★ "cebe, you can't drink coffee all day! especially not when you're little!" "but guapito... :(" complete with the biggest saddest wettest puppy eyes a catboy could possibly muster. roier is a strong, strong man for forcing cellbit to drink water instead.

★ chews on his clothes. on his hands. on his mug. on his pencils. he'd probably chew on his shield if he could. dear lord someone get this little one a very very durable teething toy. he needs it.

★ oh you pick him up?? you pick him up??? sleepy!! sleepy cat be upon ye!! (falls asleep almost instantly upon being scooped up into someone's arms. always. without fail. every time.)

★ will laugh himself to incoherence playfighting with anyone who lets him. his favorite to playfight with is bad, who is strong enough and tall enough (and familiar enough with him) that he can get flung around like a ragdoll but never get hurt. he finds it delightful.

★ clingy clingy kitty. constantly hanging off roier's arm or wearing his clothes or carrying something that reminds himself of his husband. would carry richas around the whole day if he could. clings to bad's cloak and follows him like a personal shadow. scrambles excitedly to follow after pac and mike when they leave to go somewhere.
