[ when the feed comes to life, there's an instant close up of a face on screen, though it doesn't seem to be the usual face that belongs to Vincent or Re-l. in fact it seems to be a bit.... furrier.
after a second or two, though, the feed shifts and is repositioned further back, putting some distance between the mirror and the furry friend that's currently taking residence in their condo. there's a happy look on its face, tail wagging eagerly. after a brief moment, the puppy rolls over excitedly, which gets a chuckle out of Vince, who is finally making his way on screen sitting behind the puppy who's hopping in front of him excitedly.
finally, he addresses the communicator ]
Since I'm by myself in the apartment a lot, Re-l thought it'd be a good idea to give me a little company. [ as if on cue, the puppy barks and jumps into Vincent's lap, licking at his face. smiling, he eagerly gives it a few pets and ear scratchings before continuing. ]
We've been talking about names, but we're kind of at a loss on what to name him... [ he blinks briefly before glancing down momentarily-- ah, good. he used the right pronoun. fdkljfsd ] I thought Peanut would have been cute, but Re-l doesn't agree...
[ even though she's somewhere off-screen, Re-l's voice can be heard as she offers her side of the story: ]
I said give it a name, not call it something based off a food or snack.
[ there's a pout from Vince as he turns to look at her before continuing ] She wanted to name him Daedalus, but I didn't like that name either, and since then we've been throwing names back and forth... only to disagree entirely. [ AREN'T THEY GREAT PARTNERS ]
So, we figured we'd ask what name is better... [ or if there's a better name to use, tho that part's unspoken because he will fight for peanut gdit
the puppy then gives another bark before jumping out of Vincent's lap. strutting over to the mirror again, he gives it a few sniffs, and soon Vincent gives a brief "Wait don't--" before the dog's tongue is seen, the feed ending right after. ]

You're not naming that puppy 'Peanut', Vincent. [ And she was going to fight for anything but Peanut, if she could possibly help it, frowning at him as she finished making a hot cup of tea for herself, instead of her morning coffee. Ever since the clinic incident, Re-l had taken to herbal teas and other things in order to try and boost her energy and resiliency naturally.
... Paired with coming home regularly for sleep, too. Though she wasn't going to admit to that one, just yet. Which was why she'd gotten him the puppy. Plus, he was cute enough...
Re-l scratches behind the little dog's ears as he bounds over to her for attention, setting her mug on the coffee table and away from prying noses as she settles on to the floor, with them. ]
He deserves something more dignified.
no subject
at her comment, though, he gives a slightly bewildered look ]
... dignified? How is Daedalus dignified?
no subject
Because it isn't Peanut. [ Plus she'd finally get the chance to train Daedalus, and boss him around for once. It might be a strange, displaced way of getting back at him, but hey, she had to do what she had to do in order to get closure of some kind.
... Don't judge her Vincent, okay? At least she's scratching the thing behind its ears when it asks. ]
Do you like this, as a gift, though?

no subject
the look soon disappears as he watches her interact with him, and he smiles slightly ]
I do. [ a pause ] I was surprised you went walked in with him, though. I didn't think you'd enjoy having pets around.

no subject
[ She'll simply raise a brow in challenge, looking at him in a way that suggests that he fight with her about it, if he's really so opposed. She has ways of making what she wants happen, Vincent, you of all people should know that. Though... she'd never admit it but when it came ot him she was more willing to relent than usual. The pup was cute, at least, and well behaved for a doppy, few months old little thing.
She'd been surprised to see him up for purchase, really, but considering that the seller was boasting that he was already mostly potty trained....
Hey, she was allowed to look out for the new apartment, right? ]
I was never allowed them, in Romdeau. Grandfather didn't allow any in the dome, so... [ Basically, morbid curiosity had made her unable to stop once she'd found she'd liked him. ]
That doesn't mean we'll have more than this dog, though.

besides, from what he's heard about the Daedalus from back home, naming the pup after him is... kind of creepy.
still, he watches as the puppy barks some more, rolling over once. he gives a playful look before hopping up and bounding to a different part of the living room, watching and waiting to see if Re-l would follow. though, when she doesn't, he lays down, watching her intently, tail wagging eagerly.
Vincent's gaze remains on Re-l, however, as she brings up the situation back home, and he nods slightly. that made sense, at least, considering the closest "pet" people had then were AutoReivs. he's quiet as he contemplates the topic, eyes finally looking to the puppy briefly. he chuckles at Re-l's comment about not having more pets ]
But what if he wants friend to play with? [ he's teasing though, as if the smile on his face wasn't clear enough. ]
(video)
no subject
[ Re-l actually looks amused as the pup tries to initiate play with her, smiling minutely as just... watching. Instead of playing, though, she'll just watch, amused even as the pup lays down to watch her. She reaches over to scratch his head, which sends his tail wagging even faster, moving to play and nip at her fingers.
She doesn't admonish the pup, as he's actually pretty gentle with her fingers, smiling as he makes playful little growls and barks. ]
That's what you're here for. [ And she may or may not be kidding about that. Just like she may or may not be kidding about this next name suggestion: ]
.... What about Raul?
no subject
he chuckles again when Re-l mentions him being the pup's playmate, expecting that sort of response from her. though, at her new name suggestion, he gives the most... unamused look ever. ]
Raul? A-Are you serious?! [ PLEASE BE A JOKE... ]
no subject
[ She'd had every intention of keeping up a poker face after that suggestion, but considering the way Vincent looked... well, let's just say Re-l doesn't take very long to break in to a fit of giggles, and then full on laughter. She seems to instinctively move to cover her face and turn away, though, even with Vincent.
Old habits die hard, but at least she's laughing...? ]
no subject
so, after a few minutes of relishing in it, he gives a soft laugh himself before quietly speaking ]
Y-You know Re-l, you can laugh in front of me without hiding your face...
no subject
[ Re-l didn't laugh often - in fact there weren't many emotions other than blank faced or irritated that she allowed herself to show outside of Vincent. Vincent got to see contentment, small smiles, but never laughter or anything too... 'extreme.' Even the fact that she was laughing right now... would have been fine if Vincent hadn't mentioned it.
The second he does, though, she clams right up, going from laughing and light to perfect poker face in a matter of seconds, turning away from him to cover her face with black hair as she strokes the dog again, back to normal as if nothing at all had occurred that she needed to address. ]
... Maybe we can name him Iggy.
no subject
Re-l... [ he's not even going to acknowledge the name she just mentioned at the moment, too focused on the fact that she still had walls up, even when with him. ] ... is it really that hard to let loose around me?
no subject
It's hard to let loose around anyone, Vincent. [ She dismisses that rather quickly, though the way she says it seems to suggest that she's done with the subject, cutting it off and saying that's the last she was going to talk about it. She does, after all, have a funny way with making those types of things clear without sniping them out. ]
no subject
he's silent for a few minutes before finally responding. ]
... I'm sorry...
no subject
It's fine. [ Maybe forgiving him would make it go away, even as she reaches to pet the pup, trying to soothe him. It's quite clear that the little dog understands that something happened between the two of them, sort of nervously glancing between the two of them before settling next to Re-l, worriedly watching Vincent even as he does so. At least until Re-l moves to stand, taking her tea cup with her. ]
... I should go and do work..
no subject
... are you going to go to the office today? If so, I can pack you something to eat... [ ... an attempt to suck up? ... kind of. ]
no subject
I don't really know yet, I'll have to see what I need to get done... [ Though maybe she'll just go in to the office in order to get away for a little while, considering how awkward things had suddenly become. She had the urge to get out of there for a little while, though... who knew if she'd actually be able to do it in the end. After all, he would probably find some way to make it up to her, or to convince her to stay.
But for the moment she's heading to the bedroom in order to get her communicator to check her schedule, for today. ]
