[everydayeveryway]

...so have you ever had a dog before?

[flamekthunder]

[There's just a small widening of his eyes at the question before he averts his gaze—though not before Adelle might catch an odd dark glimmer in his eyes. This...isn't something he's talked about with anyone yet and he's not really prepared to. Really he can't be too surprised by it, either. It's a logical question given his obvious interest in dogs.

Yet...he can't bring himself to wholly deny it, either, even if it would be easier.]

...Something like that.

[So just a quiet vague answer with a heavy vibe of "Do not really want to talk about it." But at least he's not being brusque about it and is just kind of. Somber.]

[everydayeveryway]

Mm... [Despite being energetic and stubborn, Adelle's perceptive. She can pick up on things -- and it's not hard, at all, to pick up on how there's something sad there.

She's quiet for a second.]

Sorry, if I brought up something uncomfortable.

[flamekthunder]

...No, it's fine.

[It's not like she could have known anything, so really he doesn't fault her at all. And fortunately that little "brooding" moment has passed.]

I assume you asked because of my interest in dogs.

[everydayeveryway]

Mm-hm. You clearly like them a lot. More than almost anyone that I've ever met, I think.

[And she's met some dog lovers in her time.]

[flamekthunder]

...Is it really that unusual...?

[He can't help but feel a little weird about that kind of observation. He thought his passion love for dogs was more or less normal...]

[everydayeveryway]

No, not unusual! Lots of people like dogs a lot. But... it stood out, how much like them, I think.

[flamekthunder]

..I see.

[He is now going to be mulling over how his behavior is. He does try not to have it too obvious, yet... Hm.]

What about yourself?

[TIME TO SHIFT THIS TOPIC OFF HIMSELF.]

[everydayeveryway]

[SHE CAUGHT THAT, EUSTACE but she'll let it slide. She gets being dodgy. She sometimes calls herself mysterious, after all.]

I like dogs. They're loyal and very cute! I never had one, though.

[She considers for a second. Is this dangerous territory?] I like cats, too...

[flamekthunder]

Mm... Cats aren't so bad, but they can be too fickle.

[He likes most animals, really, but dogs are a clear preference.]

[everydayeveryway]

I don't think you can go wrong with either. One of both is the correct answer for a household, I think!

[flamekthunder]

What if they don't get along?

[everydayeveryway]

I guess... I'd try to... make sure to introduce them slowly? And separate them, if it came down to it.

[flamekthunder]

Hmm... That would be the only way to do it...

But if you had to choose only one: dogs or cats?

[And then there's a very serious glint in his eye as he stares at her.]

[everydayeveryway]

W-Well...

[Adelle hesitates. This is hard! And--oh, god, he's a wolf-guy. He has a dog in this ra-- no that metaphor doesn't work!

She nods her head.]

Dogs. They're cuter. And nothing puts a smile on your face like a puppy.

[flamekthunder]

[Jiiiiiiiiiiii—

That's right, Adelle, THIS IS A SUPER SERIOUS QUESTION AND HE IS LOOKING AT YOU SUPER SERIOUSLY.]

Good answer.

[—Only not really, and he just grins a little.]

However you don't have to say that for my sake.

[everydayeveryway]

[Oh no, he knows, he knows!

Adelle's eyebrow twitches a little when he says that and smiles. He... he got her? Eustace got her?

She sighs and hangs her head.]

You don't play fair. [But she's smiling, too.]

[flamekthunder]

[That little grin turns into more of a smirk as a small laugh escapes him.]

Heh. I only asked a question.

[everydayeveryway]

[She's laughing too. It's pretty funny... and he played it so seriously that she thought it might have been genuine.]

Oh, I think you know what you did! Mister Serious.

[flamekthunder]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Just feigning ignorance. Which, when using his normal "serious" face is rather convincing.]

[everydayeveryway]

You're doing it again, Mister Serious~.

[EVEN IF THAT FACE IS SO GOOD THAT SHE WONDERS]

[flamekthunder]

Still don't know.

[He does know.]

[everydayeveryway]

A sneaky Mister Serious, is it?

[SURRENDER NOTHING]

[flamekthunder]

If I am, then you only have yourself to blame for falling for it.

[Light smirk.]

[everydayeveryway]

I'll have to remember that you're capable of this, then.
