[ oh this is hurting the francy ]

You really took it as a challenge.

[ it's a little funny, in a way, even if he's kind of bewildered. ]

What kind of attention do you want?

[fergalicious]

[ you know what medb is like. i don't know what to tell you.

anyway, ]

I know you're smarter than that.

[ She already spelled it out for him. Does she have to do it again? ]

[dotcom]

No, I get that.

[ the dog curls up at his side. ]

I just also know what relationships are like here.

[fergalicious]

[ Medb beckons for a dog to come to her as she thinks about how she wants to answer this. ]

What kind of attention are you willing to give? Let's start with that.

[ He is one of the more private people here and keeps himself pretty removed. It's not hard to see that. ]

I want so many things, but I'm not going to be unreasonable, so if you want to draw your lines....

[ This is the time for him to do it before she starts taking what she can. ]

[dotcom]

I think I'd just tell you no.

[ he's pretty good at stopping things he doesn't want to happen, honestly. people joke that he's bullyable but if he truly wants you to stop he will. make you stop. ]

It'll be annoying.

[fergalicious]

[ She gathers a puppy into her arms. ]

Is that a no? Or are you saying you're fine with me up until a certain point? And then you'll say no when it becomes too annoying for you?

[ Just so she's clear.

Because she thinks if Takeru is going to say no, he'd flat out say so instead of going, "I think." ]

[dotcom]

I'm not really an affectionate person.

[ like. emotionally and physically. people call him tsun a lot but honestly, the tsundere is only to very specific people because otherwise he is, legitimately, just an asshole. ]

But I think I need to start letting up a little here. I'm not getting anything from acting like I normally would back home. But that doesn't mean I'll just be fine with just anyone.

[ he's still picky and rude. ]

So, I'll just tell you when it's not okay.

[fergalicious]

[ she laughs a little when the dog licks her chin. ]

That’s fine? I don’t always need affection. Relationships aren’t the same between people, and I’m fine with helping you if you need it. I don’t mind being antagonized, but you haven’t really been mean to me in a way I don’t like, so I think we’ll be fine.

Are we good?

[ because he says he won’t just be fine with anyone, but in her mind, she isn’t just anyone. ]

[dotcom]

[ hmmm

there's a nod. ]

We're good.

[fergalicious]

Good.

[ Medb beams and then holds up the dog in her arms to his face, so it can lick him. ]

For the record, that's not the only thing I'm interested in. We really can just talk like we have before, too. About whatever, or whatever's pressing.

[ Typical conversation topics. ]

[dotcom]

[ there's a small smile at the dog. cute. ]

Mm. I didn't think you'd abandon everything else.

[ medb may be horny but she cares about other things ]

[fergalicious]

I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t try to keep hold of everything I wanted.

[ while keeping the dog still raised, she darts in to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. ]

[dotcom]

[ ah

there's a pause, and he'll turn so he can give her an actual kiss. it's still quick, mostly because they are surrounded by dogs. who would make out in this room. ]

[fergalicious]

[ Oh. That surprises her.

She was testing the waters because he said he wasn't affectionate, but that didn't mean she couldn't be when she wanted to be. She beams at him. ]

See. You're not shit company at all.

[dotcom]

It helps that we have three with us.

[ he pats a dog.

dogs always make the mood better. ]

[fergalicious]

It helps, but even with just you, I would think the same.

[dotcom]

[ ...

there's a small smile. ]

Mm. Let's go play fetch.

[fergalicious]

Sure.

[ and then they go and presumably play fetch with the dogs?

give me another thread this week, francy. ]
