Aha, thanks! :) I could tell there were a ton of other kwamis in the miracle box with the named folks; what others were visible? Somebody's fic said dragon, but that might've easily been noncanon. I can envision wolf or dog, but that's probably just me hoping for a kwami of super puppy cuteness, and black cat is specifically specified, so I wonder if there's another catshape out there? Snow leopard kwami, oooooh.

Nonbinary Nooroo for the win! It kinda fits. I can also imagine Duusu using both he/his and they/theirs interchangeably, once discovering the possibility is a thing, and that idea's growing on me!

Fan musing and theory ahead, obliquely.

... Watching a bunch of eps, and also reading the latest posted verses of one of Ysabet's poems, totally led to me dreaming I was Emilie Agreste, transformed as Paon Bleu, shouting for Duusu's help while dealing with a painful combat injury identical to what Gildenstern got to the shoulder, yes it did. Never mind the kwami in question was powering the transformation at the time and couldn't do anything. It definitely read like desperation, the pain of the injury talking, you know. Sorry for the ick.
