Sometimes, you just have a ruff day or twenty.

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.]

[dropoffs]

[ plenty of people would not miss him! ] He talks, even. Only in Kin. [ gazes out at all the dogs. man. ]

[verminous]

Really-? I didn't know bulls could do that.

[shut up PEOPLE WOULD MISS HIM.]
