[ Patch looks like the saddest puppy ever settled against the leg of a table. he was playing with a little red ball beforehand, but now it's still, just barely brushing against his nose when he sighs. ]


I miss my pets...

..!

[look who's all excited.]

Patch!

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

[ hops up, recognizing that voice anywhere! but just as his tail is wagging, his nose scrunches. Patches doesn't smell like that. ]

Smells like an old fireplace...

[jailedbait.livejournal.com]

[frowns.]

It's me. Patches ..?

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

Patches! [ sits back, pawing at air. ] You came back!

[jailedbait.livejournal.com]

I did.

[grinning all over again as he kneels, holding his arms out.]

I missed you.

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

Patches, you--!

[ excitement got the better of him; he's gotten a good look now. ]

You look different.

[jailedbait.livejournal.com]

... I went somewhere.

[how do you explain hell and murder to a puppy?]

It taught me a lot of lessons and changed me a lot. For the better, I hope.

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

I liked you the way you were. You weren't so... scary.

[blind, mostly robotic Sora walks in, curious]

You had pets?

[thinks he's talking to a person~]

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

Sora!

[ runs to him. ]

You never met them, did you?

[iwasarealboy.livejournal.com]

...

[wonders why he hears lots of feet, and is looking around, not down]

Met who?

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

My pets, silly! I have three of 'em!

[ puts a paw on his foot. ] What are you looking for?

[iwasarealboy.livejournal.com]

[j-jumps, realizing]

A...ah, sorry, I.

[kneels down, legs and joints popping loudly, gears whirring]

Hi.

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

Sora? [ tilts head. he's very much concerned. ] Are you okay?

[iwasarealboy.livejournal.com]

I suppose. Well enough?

[reaches out, trying to touch whatever it is that's talking to him, his other hand hanging uselessly]

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

Sora...

[ moves his head toward that hand. ]

[iwasarealboy.livejournal.com]

Yes?

[slides his hand over Patch's head gently, curiously]

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

How come you aren't looking at me?

[iwasarealboy.livejournal.com]

[scratchscratch]

I...I can't see.

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

Oh... I'm sorry.

[ the scratching keeps him from being too sad. ]

... I can help!

[iwasarealboy.livejournal.com]

Hm? How so?

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

There are lots of dogs that lead their pets when they can't see.

[iwasarealboy.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head, and ooh, bellyrub time]

No, I wouldn't ask that of you.

[wantstobeone.livejournal.com]

But Soraaa...

[ foot kicks. ]

[iwasarealboy.livejournal.com]

[Small smile, rubbing still]

I've survived this long, hm?

[just, you know, ignore the broken limbs and the fact he can't see]
