Rory's gone.


[ Okay nobody panic, Rory's coming back. But Amy doesn't know that. So, have some denial and an obligatory sex post, really. ]

It's not actually a rock, and technically it's not alive by most standards anyway. I'd have to be a bit callous to be keeping something sentient hidden in my pockets all the time. Although if you do want to pet something a little more thoughtful, warm, and fuzzy I can go back to the flat and bring you a pair of bunnies for a bit.

[waitedforyears]

Maybe it likes dark pockets that are bigger on the inside.

[ Pondering for a moment. ] Nah. If I'm overcome by the urge to pet something, I'll pat you on the head, how's that.

[ Settling down on the couch again. ]

[am_i_being_rude]

[He has to pause and process that for a moment.]

I'm thoughtful and warmish but I wouldn't really say 'fuzzy'...

[He sort of falls in next to her on the couch, avoiding the pile of things.]

But if it'll help I probably won't mind. Oh! You know those little - [Hand gestures.] - those little fake pet things? Tiny electronic things you have to remember to feed and pet and parents used to misunderstand the entire point of a pet and think they were a decent substitute? It's like one of those, just a little bit less depressing about it, what with some actual reciprocation.

I don't know, your hair is a bit fuzzy sometimes I bet.

[ Sort of leaning her shoulder against his. Distraction and company do help with the hole that's Rory's absence. ]

Yeah. I never had one of those. Probably would've died way too quickly, anyways.

[am_i_being_rude]

Fluffy. My hair is fluffy sometimes. It's not short enough to be fuzzy.

[Hair is a serious business. Obviously.]

They weren't really worth it anyway. Pixels and greyscale and teaching it tricks it never ever forgets and does all the time whenever you ask. It's almost better to actually have the pet rock. At least there's no falseness happening. Or, better yet, strangely, go out and make a real friend. [He really didn't understand them, okay?] Anyway, these are better. Were you not a good pet-keeper?

[waitedforyears]

I don't know. [ Poking at a strand of hair with one finger. ] That looks almost fuzzy, right there.

[ shrugging ] Never had a pet.

[am_i_being_rude]

[He bats her hand away.] Does not.

Well, they're not for everybody I suppose. I prefer things that talk back to you, personally.

[waitedforyears]

Does too.

[ smirking. ] So you're saying we're all just pets to you, yeah?

[am_i_being_rude]

Does not.

[That gets a snort of laughter.] Yes. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Great big, wonderfully entertaining pets.

[waitedforyears]

Does too.

[ Satisfied and smug. ] Well, that's all right then.

[am_i_being_rude]

Does not.

Does that mean you like being pet? I wouldn't have thought you'd find that particularly appealing.

[waitedforyears]

Does too!

[ eyeroll ] Future!you is my best friend, you moron. I know I'm more than just a pet.

i'm amused by the idea of her somehow pronouncing the !

[am_i_being_rude]

[Clearly the verbal argument isn't going to go anywhere, so he instead opts for physical evidence in the way of reaching over to fluff her hair so he can point it out as being properly fluffy.]

I didn't say a pet, I said pet. Of course you're not a pet.

what sound does a ! make?

[waitedforyears]

[ Amy bats at his hand, laughing. ]

I don't mind being pet.

I think technically it's a click of some sort according to the IPA

[am_i_being_rude]

See, that's fluffy. Or frizzy. Some sort of f-adjective. Could be fabulous, I suppose. Fantastic, frumpy, fuzzy. Fairly flamboyant. Fiery! Could be fiery. I'd imagine you probably get tired of that one.

fascinating oô how does a click represent a !

[waitedforyears]

How 'bout fierce?
