The immediate response is a furious and quite visible twitching of the eye. "Frisk, I swear you're going to give me an aneurysm one of these days. If I never visit that particular shop again in my life, it will be too soon."

He sighs, however, rubbing his face. "I'm glad to see your attempts have been fruitful, at least. Everything I tried just seemed to make things worse. Story of my life, I suppose."

"I think you owe Marie a nice dinner or something for all the times you flipped out and nearly murdered her and the beginning of the loops. Maybe some flowers?" Frisk teases, snickering. They wouldn't be surprised if Kuja ended up demolishing the store with an Ultima after a certain point. Not that they could blame him if that was the case--Frisk had no ground the stand on, being the one who ended up going so timeloop-crazy that they slathered themself in barbeque sauce and tossed themself into the Great Devouring for the meme.

At least that had released enough pressure that Frisk was able to get some stuff done for the last few loops. "Eh, to be fair, I ran into a lot of dead ends too," they say, shrugging. "I mean, I basically sank the plan for two loops in a row when I tried to catch Megha-- Megham-- Mega Flare chancellor guy by surprise. And without the Star, we wouldn't have been able to save the cats. Don't beat yourself up about it."

Kuja sighs, rubbing his face. "Eugh. What does it even matter, it's not as if she remembers the first-" He does, at least, stop himself from saying something horribly insensitive, this time.

"Don't... worry about the airship, right now. There's much too much to do, and we can always work on it when we don't have Armageddon breathing down our necks. Hold still-" He forms an orb of white magic in one hand, taking a moment to make a pass over Frisk's clothing. At the very least they won't smell of catnip for the forseeable future. "There."

Frisk sobers up when Kuja mentions the impending battle. "It's still kinda hard to believe, isn't it? That this is... that this is finally it. We're finally going to save the world." They pause, chuckling. "...man, that sounds melodramatic, doesn't it? It's true, though. And weird to process after living the same three days for six dang months."

The cats take one more disappointed sniff at Frisk, turn up their noses, and prance away. Frisk sticks out their tongue at the fleeing animals, sniffs their hoodie, nods satisfied, then turns a smile towards Kuja. "Thanks. Now I get why the people in Parasraya were shooting me dirty looks while I was saving the cats, those things are pests."

"It could be worse," Kuja admits, with a faint smile. "Orichalcon enjoys stealing things, I swear he has a knack for finding whatever it is you need the most right this second and making sure it's in the most inaccessible corner he can reach-"

Frisk snickers, raising an eyebrow. "Sounds like I might have to apprentice to your little fluffball of spite once all this is over. I really need to step up my ninja-ing game if a cat can do my job better than me."
