Summary
“Entrapta?” Catra knocked on the door and tried to ignore the painful pulse that had spread from her chest to the rest of her limbs on her walk over. Bright Moon’s castle did not have a lab, but it had a spare room on one of the lower levels that King Micah had authorized for Entrapta’s use. Catra heard the authorization had stemmed from Glimmer’s advice of ‘Let her have this or she’ll explode’, but that was a rumor.
“It’s open!”
Catra entered and saw Entrapta had made the space her own. Almost every available surface was covered with pieces of tech, including a few complex pieces that might have had First Ones origins. One portion of counter space against the far wall had been cleared of half-finished experiments and instead was covered with colorful bowls. Entrapta stood next to it and waved.
“What…” Catra cleared her throat and began the acrobatic feats necessary to cross the room without knocking anything over. “Hi, Entrapta. What, uh, what am I helping you with tonight?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Entrapta opened a paper sack that let out a puff of white powder. “We’re baking, silly!”
