Character(s): Rinoa and anyone
Location: The Quad
Rating: F for fluff?
Open/Closed/Finished: Open
Summary: Rinoa spends some time with Angelo. Cute happens.

[Anyone walking in the Quad is more than welcome to stumble across Rinoa, who's apparently playing catch with her dog Angelo. While there's still the usual "Go fetch" type scenario going on, there's still quite a bit of petting going on too. All in all it's entirely too adorable. Feel free to either get in on the cute or if you want come be a jerk because "omg isn't that a pet or something?!". Take your pick really.

Just... don't kick the puppy. Unpleasant things will happen.]

[She shakes the hand not petting her companion, smiling as Angelo basks in the attention.]

How are you finding Garden so far?

It's all right. Definitely some good points around here, even if I'm in the wrong world. You? [Scritches Angelo behind the ears and dawwwww puppy *_*]

It takes a little while to get used to, but after a while it really can start to feel like home if you give it a chance.

[Angelo gave Marco a doggy grin and leaned against him, entirely too thrilled at the scritches.]

You sound like you've been here a long time. [Grins up at Rinoa and alskdjaksj totally snuggles Angelo for more rougher pettings.]

Oh! I didn't get pulled from my world, I'm from here. Just a little out of my time is all. [Rinoa smiles back as Angelo totally gets into the rougher petting. Be careful there, she's a lot tougher than she looks.]

Ahh yeah, I heard there were a bunch like that too. Angelo came with you? [S'totally okay, Marco will be thrilled and is the same way.]

Thankfully, it's nice to know that if we have to be in a time that's not our own we can still be together. She did, thankfully, I don't know what I would have done if she hadn't.

[It's a good workout for her anyway until Rinoa hits the training center later.]

It's always good to have nakama with you. [Calm voice and just ruffles Angelo's fur more. Really he should stop before he develops some sort of puppy addiction... but... still petting.]

Nakama? [That wasn't a word she'd heard before.] What's that?

[Oh but Marco! If you stopped now Angelo might sad face, and you don't want that to happen do you?]

Friends, traveling companions, crewmates. It's the people you trust for life. For better or worse.

[:O Never that!! V_V *pets the puppy MORE*]

That's really nice, I think I like that. Nakama huh? I'll remember that.

[Much better! Angelo leans into him, panting happily. She's really appreciating the attention.]

Yeah, it's a common term where I'm from for people you keep close.

[Awww yaaaaay. Marco is secretly thrilled even if his face doesn't show it.]

I can see why! You'll have to teach me more about your language sometime. I'd love to learn more great words like that.

[Then we won't burst his bubble by mentioning that she likes attention from anyone no matter who they are then, so he'll stay feeling special.]

Well this is my language really, just a few extra words here and there I guess. Like den den mushis or seakings. Stuff that doesn't seem to exist here.

[Aww yay! He's a special birdie or something. XD]

Well then. You can just teach me these extra words and what they mean. Like... den den mushi? What's that?

[That's right, a special little birdie. ~~Even if he was just one of Angelo's adoring fans ultimately.~~]

You know how there's this communication system for here in the garden? Back home we have one that uses snails.

[All will bow before Angelo's brilliance.]

How can you use snails to communicate? [Rinoa settles down onto the ground, intent on learning more. Despite how it might have looked, she was actually a rather eager learner. It was why she liked books so much.]

[Angelo would take over the world someday, way scarier than any sorceress as she rules through cuteness and apparent adoration.]

Yeah! [Giant grin and snuggles Angelo.] My world uses animals for a lot of things. And the den den snails have sort of psychic powers so when you hook up machinery to them they can carry it a pretty good distance. The bigger the snail, the further it can send messages.

Psychic power? So they have some sort of magic? That's amazing!

[Angelo curled into Marco, enjoying the attention. Her little doggy heart was overflowing with satisfied puppy glee by this point.]

[Daw Angelo <3] Well I wouldn't call it magic. Without the machinery, it doesn't do anything. I guess it's kind of like that though.

[Is this what they call puppy love?] So it has to have a special machine to use it's ability?

[That's... more than a little weird.]

[Quite possibly.]

Well I think the den dens can talk to each other without the machines, it just won't sound like anything to humans. In order to use them to convey video or audio messages though they need the machinery, yes.

[How sweet.]

That makes sense then I guess. It takes a machine for us to be able to hear them or anything like that. Do you think they can talk to each other that way though? In some way we can't see?

Yeah probably. While we're having phone calls, they're probably talking to each other.

That's actually pretty neat to think about. Conversations during conversations!
