“Bow decided to go digging in a First Ones ruin,” Adora says. “Without She-Ra around to help.” Bow shrugs, giving Glimmer a sheepish smile. It’s true. He did do that.

“You have cat ears,” Glimmer informs him.

“We all noticed,” Catra says. Bow reaches up, touching his ear. It tickles, and he flicks his ear away from his own touch.

“Okay,” Glimmer says. “Okay. Cool. Cool. What are we doing about this?” Bow shrugs.

“Wait it out, I guess?” he says. “We can go to Mystacor if it doesn’t go away on its own.”

“So we’re just cool with this?” Glimmer says, glancing at Catra and Adora. “We’re just going with it?”

“Why not?” Bow says. “There’s nothing actually wrong with me, so there’s no harm in waiting. Besides”—he crosses his arms and grins proudly—”I look adorable.” A thought occurs to him then, and he digs in his pockets, looking for his comms pad. “Guys, we should have a photoshoot.”

“What?” Glimmer says. Catra is already shaking her head, eyes widening.

“A photoshoot,” Bow repeats. “Me and Catra match now! Think about how cute it would be!”

“Absolutely not,” Catra says. Bow pouts at her, flattening his ears down as best he can. She makes a disgusted face at him, but Bow widens his eyes, and it fades slowly as she stares at him. “Adora, is that why you can never say no to me?” she asks, nudging her girlfriend. Adora shrugs, turning a bit pink.

“Is that a yes?” Bow says, already opening the camera app on his pad. Catra sighs deeply, standing from the couch.

“These photos go nowhere,” she says, pointing at him with an extended claw—and, hey, Bow didn’t get those either. The First Ones’ spell is a scam; all he got were the ears.

“Deal,” Bow agrees readily. Catra steps up to stand beside him, and Bow holds the pad up with one hand, flipping the camera and giving a thumbs up with his free hand. Catra just crosses her arms and glares at the lens. Bow doesn’t bother trying to get her to smile; he just grins at the camera and takes the picture.
