Sorry, I asked something kind of difficult to answer. [ her face is a perfect recreation of the :/ emote. ]

But... okay. I get it. I can't exactly say it's because I want you to be happy in this instance because even if that is true, you ca parrot it back at me! It is pretty hypocritical of me. I am sorry, Dirk. Just take it as relationship advice, at least, though?

[ oh.

jade rubs at one arm, feeling a tiny bit silly. ] Thank you, Dirk. I do not know what else to say, but I do appreciate you looking out for me like that. [ um. ] This was kind of supposed to be about Jake, but I guess it became a mutual discussion, heh.

No, it's not! [ it reminds her of someone else, back when things weren't so difficult. jade, however, doesn't want to make him feel like a ghost of someone else. ] You're a lot like Becquerel was, but you haven't grounded me, at least, hehehe.

Bec was not a lusus! He was a dog. Since it's us, we do not have to worry about cross-culturual terms at the moment.

You are a dog, Dirk!

[ oh thats cute ]

Do you purr like a kitty cat?

Me too!!!!

[ jade demonstrates, baring her fangs (literally, what with being half dog?). the noise that comes out of her is very distinctly canine and not human, because of course it is. woof woof ]

But I only growl sometimes now!!! I can control it really easily, except when I'm angry.

[ she was asking what makes him growl without asking :/ ]

Yes it was! It's your turn to show and tell.

Obviously, but it must be kinda cute if Jake comments on you sounding like a kitty cat! Can you make any other animal noises, then?

Oh, is that your impression of Neigh the Sayer? It is missing some moxie, mister!

But it was fun!!! You are absolutely not going to neigh, huh.

Okay, jeeeeez, Mr. Chicken Hair, I get it.

[ folding her arms, jade somehow manages not to ruin the gifted flowers. ]

Too cool to goof around, but that's okay, I think I get why Jake likes you. [ he's fun. like, a lot of fun. some day she is gonna get him to neigh. ]
