Re: Breakfast

[raisedbydogs]

[As usual, eating as much as he can and throwing food to his 3 dogs so that they can eat as well.
Manners? What manners?]

[unfinishedstory]

Clare decided to bite the bullet, she had a laundry list of apologies due to a few stupid days. The sandstorm was a great excuse to avoid these people a little while longer. But... she couldn't exactly avoid them forever, and she kinda needed the friends.

She sat down across from Inukashi, a seat nobody in their right mind would take given the way he was eating, and set her plate down. Starting on her food in a slow, deliberate manner. The complete opposite in manners and decorum of the boy with the dogs.

Although that last description was a bit... misconstrued, "I didn't know what kind of world you came from, I'm sorry about what I said." She slipped a wrapped plate across the table, the kind with a divider. One half had chocolate chip cookies, the other side dog treats. Clare smiled a bit awkwardly, "Just... you're not there anymore, why-" she didn't finish the question at first, trying to figure out the exact way to word it and not be offensive, "keep being a boy?"

[raisedbydogs]

Inukashi noticed from the corner of his eye clare coming, and stopped eating. He wasn´t one to pretend or be subtle, so he stared at her. His dark eyes actually having a serious glance on them, not his usual smart ass attitude.

He hears her, looking at the cookies, actually shifting a little his attitude to curiosity. He had never had any other type of cookies but crackers.

Then he glances at her, observing her in a serious manner for a couple of more seconds.
And then he sighs, his body relaxing as he switched his torso to face Clare, his expression now the usual bored annoyed mixture that is characteristic of his.

His hand reaches for the side of his head, massaging his scalp, his hair moving and entangling.

"I am not really pretending to be anything but myself." he sighs "I mean, would you suddenly start behaving completly opposite than what you always behaved just because you switched places?"

He takes one of the cookies, smelling it.

"What kind of food is this?"

[unfinishedstory]

She could feel his eyes, and if she wasn't so guilty and awkward his sudden shift to the cookies would be amusing as heck.

She hadn't exactly considered it that way, but considering her actions here, her manner here. "I... if it made me happier I would," she hadn't crossed the line of opposite of herself, but she had done and decided on things here she could not do at home, she just didn't feel comfortable with it in her own world, surrounded by those that know her best.

"Those are chocolate chip cookies, keep them away from the dogs. But most people like chocolate baked in dough that way," Clare smiled, a little awkwardly, "Most guys I know prefer a peace offering they can eat." Every guy she knew, except Eli, who would rather have depressing poetry or harsh editing critiques as his peacegift.

[raisedbydogs]

"I am happy like this." And with that, he gives a try to the cookie.

...

Woah.

"This is amazing!!!" Inukashi has his eyes open, this was extremely sweet, sweeter than the crackers!

He takes another one. Somehow, the atmosphere between them seemed quite okay now.

"Can't I really give some to them?" he asks, since the dogs were looking curiously to him. It was unusual for Inukashi not to share food with them.

[unfinishedstory]

Clare took him at his word, given the sudden change was very much a boy. Distracted by tasty things. "I can make them without the chocolate, but dogs can't digest it. Best case they just get sick..." She didn't feel like dampening the mood with the worst case.

"But that's why I also got these," Clare offered, pointing to the dog treats. She figured that Inukashi would appreciate thought to his pack as much as to himself, so she couldn't offer him something without offering them something. Clare was almost always planning ahead. Still, she had to keep somewhat on the topic, just for her own sanity, "So... is it weird that I know?"

[raisedbydogs]

[Inukashi gives a wide grin] Just give them, since it's your gift. I will signal them to eat it. [Inukashi was sure happy with this. No one had ever offered both him and the pack stuff, so this made him somewhat trustful.

He eats another cookie, delighted]

I don't mind, you are okay.

[unfinishedstory]

Clare moved the cookies to Inukashi's plate, giving the plate of dog treats to his pack. She'd never had a pet, so she wasn't really great with animals. But she still liked them, just given how much Inukashi cared she was worried she'd screw up.

"Sorry I reacted the way I did, I wasn't exactly... me," Clare of course could see more hints at the truth now that she knew what she was looking for. Even if the clothes covered it well enough, slight curves to the chest, a bit too much shape at the waist, a face a bit too feminine while he smiled. "So this is just, who you are? And nobody's ever been close enough to you to tell?"

[raisedbydogs]

[Inukashi noms another cookie. The dogs get a slight nod when they are faced with their treats, reacting much like Inukashi, by licking and devouring the treats with pleasure plastered in their faces.

The biggest one jumps on the bench, reaching for Clare's face and licking her cheek. The other ones shake their tails.

At the question, Inukashi's face darkens slightly, he noms another cookie and attempts to push whatever memory which had affected him.]

Some did, but it hasn't happened in a while. [Gives a grin] What kind of place do you come from? [It's better to hear stories than to tell them]

[unfinishedstory]

Clare was a bit startled by the sudden lick to the face, but she managed to laugh it off. At least she was appreciated, that was something.

"Oh, it's like here, but no Kishin, witches, Meisters, Weapons, madness, and not every store in the world is themed after death and morbid topics," Clare realized she basically said 'it's like here but nothing like here' with a lot more details, "I... it's just, I dunno, safe. Normal, no wars, no ninjas, no supernatural abilities, no magic."

Not the best of explanations, part of what made it hard to really discuss home with people. "I have friends, go to school, write things. It's... peaceful." Mostly, it seems she's leaving something out, as she doesn't sound too sold on the word 'peaceful.'

[blue_wayfinder]

[...well, there's someone she hasn't spoken to in a while. She made her way over.]

Hey, it's been a while.

[raisedbydogs]

[Inukashi blinks, his mouth is somewhat full at the moment. He gives a hard swallow and gives a examining look, before giving a somewhat grin]

Hey. Are you here for the food also?

[blue_wayfinder]

I am.

[She put a hand on the back of the chair beside Inukashi.] Is this seat taken?

[raisedbydogs]

If it doesn't have anyone's name, I would say it's pretty free.

[He takes another bite of the bread, the dogs waiting to see the new person actions.]

[blue_wayfinder]

[She sets her plate on the table and sits down. She casts a brief look at the dogs, curious, but while she didn't have any pets of her own, she'd taken care of a puppy briefly for a couple of friends. She'd read up enough during that time about dogs to know that she should let them approach her.

Instead, she turned to keep talking to Inukashi.]

Are those dogs yours?

[raisedbydogs]

They are my pack. [Grins proudly]

[blue_wayfinder]

What are their names?

WRONG QUESTION AQUA

[raisedbydogs]

I don't name them. [He answers, tho he points at the smaller pup] Tho that one was named Fuckface by a friend of mine.

ROFL

[blue_wayfinder]

Fuck...face?

[...what?]

Aqua, whatever you do, don't make a video of you playing with the dog and calling him

[raisedbydogs]

Yeah, he kept saying that if he was gonna be around, he needed a name... So I let him name it. [Very normal name]

pfff, that would be awkward. Funny, but awkward. XD

[blue_wayfinder]

But couldn't he have named the dog something else?

Re: pfff, that would be awkward. Funny, but awkward. XD

[raisedbydogs]

Well, he was a whore. So I guess for him that was a pretty good name.

[blue_wayfinder]

..a whore. [What is this conversation even...?]

I see.
