Sometimes, you just have a ruff day or twenty.

[yeah so the dogs have the right idea here.

he's stretching out on his back next to io and doing the same thing, using him as a pillow.]

[dropoffs]

[ yeah there are like four dogs here just like really holding his legs down, though one is partially flopped into his lap. they're /throws dart a couple of herding dogs who have finally sensed that perhaps it's time to settle down. they will surely have much more herding to do tomorrow, and the day after and the day after. but for now they are happy to rest and get some face scritches idly between dozing. but also shifts a little to make it more comfortable for however gregor is leaning on him, that is fine too. ] So how many animals does that make? [ haha ]

[verminous]

Is that what I am to you...

[huffs as he settles into place, after io's shifted a little. the pomeranian he had with him earlier curls in next to him.]

[dropoffs]

I'm just saying... you should start up a business at this rate. [ how do you know this? maybe your sister-coded co-worker has eyes everywhere, okay? ]

[verminous]

A business for what-

[he doesn't sit up, but he does shift so he can look at him.]

You didn't see anything, all right?

[dropoffs]

[ just continues to stay chill. one of the dogs puts its head on his stomach and he pets its head gently. fluffy border collie ears... ] Kissing animals.

[verminous]

Nothing happened here. Nothing...

[just petting this dog. hhhhelp.]

[dropoffs]

[ he's right and he knows it so he's just going to give a very easy, little smile, scritching scritching. looking at now. ] I'm missing my leg, not my eyes. [ and even then ] Look, at least now Rodya is Rodya and not a feral little creature that slaps beans. Though... that was funny.

[verminous]

-it was, wasn't it?

[he stifles a laugh, thinking about it. she was pretty cute as a little creature...]

Say, think you'd get the obvious option if you got hit with that, or do you think you might be something else?

[dropoffs]

[ gives a very long hard gaze to. squints at. ] The obvious option? Do you mean... [ lifts hands, makes little horns on head ] Perhaps? Wouldn't know, it's never happened to me before.

[verminous]

It was kinda cute, that one week.

[io your cow features for furry week...]

Fair, though. I guess I wouldn't really know either.

[dropoffs]

[ h-help yeah... sometimes you are just big bull coded. he hums. ] That or a bear. My old friends used to call me "cub" even when I returned to town, so. Maybe you'd be... a vole. Or a hare.

[verminous]

All right, a hare I know, but you're going to have to explain what a vole is.

[dropoffs]

[ we have the internet. just shows him a little picture. ] Like this. They remind me of jerboas, but their ears are smaller. Legs too. [ anotha one. ]

[verminous]

[squinting at it ....]

I appreciate you not going with some type of bug, but I'm not sure how to feel about the rodents, either?

[dropoffs]

Small, easy to carry around in your pocket. But fine. What would you like to be?

[verminous]

Now I know you're not calling me small, Io...

I don't know, a dog?

[dropoffs]

[ does not respond to that first bit. ] Hm. Dogs are good. What kind?

[verminous]

[HEY. he noticed that, thanks.]

... maybe one of these guys.

[reaching over io to pet the border collie.]

[dropoffs]

[ he's just a lil guy. the dog meanwhile has been made happy by the extra attentions. yes good a little more to the left. io just evaluates. ] Hm. Good choice. Just don't get lost among them in the park, hm?

[verminous]

I don't know, that might not be the worst way to spend some time, 'ne?

[be a dog, run around with dogs...]

[dropoffs]

Not a care in the world... I can see the appeal of it. I have always envied animals in this way. [ gently to the dog while holding it's face. ] Most of the time they are much better than people. Though I've been proven wrong as of late.

[verminous]

Never gotten to spend much time with animals before we came here, so I couldn't say.

[still petting the dog... look at it. it's too cute.]

People must be doing pretty well, though, if they're beating these guys out...

[dropoffs]

This somehow doesn't surprise me. [ another dog wants in on the action. io just "oofs" because he is being stepped on and then promptly flopped on. ] I used to keep a couple of mice when I was a kid... rats... hamsters... I was allergic to cats, but I wanted a pet, so. [ pets you puppies pets you puppies pets you... ] Now I have a bull, so I suppose I'm moving up in the world... I miss him.

[verminous]

... well, we're gonna get you back to him. Bet he'd miss you, too.

[who Wouldn't miss io, after all.

...man. not thinking about that.]
