[14 // video // 10 March]

[The video shows not the sender's face, but a puppy, most of a black-clad leg, and a bare foot with the remnants of black polish on the toenails. The puppy's growling and tugging at the jagged hem of the leather pants, as if they're a threat that must be neutralized.]

Who the hell does this belong to?

[Mello tries to pull his leg away, but the puppy seems to see this as escalation of the game, and gives a little bark before seizing the leather again.]

Hey! These were expensive, you little fucker!

[The picture goes dark as the communicator lands on the floor.]

But there are so many things you can do with a pet that you can't do with the dependent you have now. After all I'm sure he's not the type of person who'll play tug of war with you or drag you out for walks and after every small critter he spots. [[grins bit impishly]]

Besides, maybe it might help teach him out to take care of himself, if you can get him to help you take care of it.

[want_the_world]

Heh, I'm not suffering from a lack of tug of war in my life, kid.

I think the twit needs remedial lessons in shit like shoe-tying and water-boiling before I can turn him loose on a pet, anyway.

[shiromadoushi]

[[smiles at that]] You're sure? Even Ryuzaki-kun's good with cats. [[though he's not the one feeding and taking care of them, just often being entertainment for them.]]

[want_the_world]

That doesn't mean he should be in charge of them.

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa, true. Though I'd think any cat he got would be the on in charge of him instead of the other way around.

They're still a lot of fun to have around. I think Ulthar and Pelor were asleep when you came over that once, so you didn't get to meet them, did you?

[want_the_world]

No, I didn't see them.

How about I send you the twit, and he can practice on your cats?

[shiromadoushi]

[[covers a small laugh]] If you'd like.
