Melog rumbles at her, a sound that's an eerie echo of a purr, and leans into the scratches. It's only when Adora hits a ticklish spot that they fake a sneeze (--still copying Catra's), and shake their head to stop her. And then, because they do not actually want to stop her, they meowl a request.
It's coincidence, probably, that Catra actually has to say something in order to convey it.
"...You're tickling them," she says shortly. Melog turns their head to huff at her, and Catra's fur bristles despite herself. Another coincidence, probably, that she can't feel bad about herself and be annoyed at Melog at the same time. "But they say to keep going. Just... rub them instead, or something."
Adora doesn't look good, doesn't sound good, and can't possibly feel good after all of that. Asking her how she's doing seems like a cheap question, when the answer is so obvious. And... there's something Adora said as well, and Catra doesn't know how to address it. A few things, actually. And back at the Heart, too, and occasionally along the trip.
Catra's silent for a bit, quietly keeping pace. She... actually doesn't have enough information yet to address it.
"Hey, Adora." Her tone's returned to normal, and her hands have relaxed on her arms. Melog does have a lot to do with it, this time; calming one of them tends to do it to the other. "You and the She-ra's of the past... How closely are all of you connected?"
