[comes by, lifting him up by the back of his shirt and placing him on his feet. he doesn't say anything and just keeps going, black and white spotted tail flicking behind him. he seems to be taking to the small white ears he's suddenly acquired quite well, too. either that, or he just can't be bothered to freak out like everyone else.]

Whoa--

[wait, how'd that happen? maybe it has something to with the tail that's flickering away ...]

[he makes a quiet, offhand comment right before he disappears into the kitchen]

People generally keep the carpet-munching to their rooms.

[ohoho. someone has really bad jokes :|]

[okay, at least someone's talking to him. that's almost as good as being given a pair of wicked cool ears.]

Yeah, like I'd be so lucky.

[the kitchen's not far at all, so Riku can still hear him as he rummages around in the fridge for something to drink. slight subject change.]

Cat ears and a tail aren't going to get you a girl. ...Or a guy, whatever you're into.

[well, he can't really be sure if that in a place like this, but whatever.]

Who says I'm trying to pick up anyone? I just hate missing out on something fun.

[considers pointing out that he did say something about being so lucky, but it's not worth playing who-said-what, so he let's it go.]

Random animal parts is fun to you.

[it's more of a 'wow, you need to get out more' kind of statement, rather than a question. not that he's the master of fun, or anything. ]

Well what's your idea of a good time, sitting alone in the dark?

[finds a bottle of water at the back of the fridge.]

...Pissing my brother off.

[wait, what?]

Y-you have a brother?

Mm.

[it's just a coincidence, just a coincidence ...]

W-what was he like.

[shrugs, twisting the cap off the bottle.]

Hell if I know..

Of course you know! You're his brother-!

--and he hates me. The only way I can get him to talk to me is if I make him angry enough.

[grips his water bottle a little tighter, passing his tongue along the inside of his teeth.]

So, again. Hell if I know.

[... he's quiet.]

That isn't fair.

[mutters, sipping at his water.]

When is anything ever fair..

No you don't.

[holding her tail with a small pout, red on her cheeks. those ears and tail make her look a lot like a half meerkat.]

[t-tail. don't grab it, don't grab it ...]

[... eyes him, takes a step back.]

W-what.

[he's getting up, hands firmly behind his back.]

You looked like you were about to pull something.

[and it doesn't help that her tail is peeking under her very short dress. she's got half a mind to just go and get a longer one.]

Hey, not me.

[just stands there, rocking on his heels. yeah, he's thinking about it, but that's better than grabbing girls at random, right?]

[so she lets her tail loose and crosses her arms.]

I don't even know what I am... can you tell?

[he's got to think about this for a minute.]

... a mongoose?

[... sticks out her tongue.]

Well. That's... wow.

[shrugs.]

I saw 'em in a book once, but I guess that doesn't mean you're it.

[looks back at her tail with a slight sigh, flicking it.]

Maybe, maybe not?

Maybe you could look in a book, too ...

[rubs the back of his neck. awkward suggestion is awkward.]

[brb loling as her fox tail swishes]

Who's laughing!

[a graceful eye brow arches]

That would be me.

Well sto-p--

[... he's tripping again.]

[she's trying, but that smile on her face isn't going away.]

Hey, you okay?
