[He snorts and runs his fingers through Emet-Selch's hair.]

Or you could get a dog. Or was it a cat?

He wouldn't accept them - I already had to struggle to word my previous assistance in a way that wouldn't hurt his pride, and he did give me those points back.

And it was a cat. But I don't need one, I already have him.

[ looking at Emet as he says that ]

And Wildfire, for a dog.

What is this? I've been degraded from co-parent to cat. And now our child a dog. Is this a roundabout declaration of divorce?

[Look he doesn't purr, but he does like hair petting.]

How stubborn. He fits right in.

If mythical creatures were allowed, we could get Lahabrea a winged horse. I imagine he would enjoy that.

Hahahaha!

[He laughs as Emet-Selch is dubbed cat, patting his head as if he might have ears before going back to petting his hair.]

You aren't wrong. He is rather feline.

And I would like a pegasus, thank you.

[ there's a smile at lahabrea's reaction to that and okay, he knows he's losing this competition because so far all he's done is stand right next to Emet but for HIS standards? That's like, the highest amount of affection ]

Don't worry, I'm not filing for divorce yet. Consider me calling you my cat proof of my affection towards you.

That said. You could ask Future is Now to gadgeteer you one, you know.

A pity. I would have given you the dog in the divorce.

[He sighs. Of course he does.]

And here I was already fantasizing about getting out of learning to play that game of his. Dashed my hopes already. But I suppose in this lifetime I can try to be a decent parent.

[And he just gives 'resting bitch face' at Lahabrea for the pat. They correctly equated him to a cat after all.]

Better than my suggestion. I was simply going to glue wings upon one of the horses at the stable.

[It's okay Five he wasn't keeping score. It was never a competition to him just an excuse to bully Emet.]

Neither of those suggestions sounds reasonable, frankly. You both are banned from horses.

Terrible. How can I possibly survive that.

Well, I think I've decided our next outing just to prove Lahabrea wrong. What do you think, Five?

[Patting his shoulder.]

Oh yes, do prove me wrong.

[Terrible. Horse riding. Don't do THAT to him. How will he ever endure doing something he likes. And already does daily.]

[ he's just going to give him a look because wait, what ]

You don't actually expect me to ride a horse, do you? Please tell me I misunderstood.

And here I thought you liked to try new things.

Oh don't force him if he can't do it.

[He's being a shit]

You're not going to manipulate me that easily.

But for the record, I can do it just fine.

[He taps Lahabrea on the nose. His gesture for 'be nice'.]

Then you can participate or simply watch. 'Tis the company that is important.

He's already said he can do it.

[He shrugs. Can't make him be nice!!]

[ For two nigh-immortal beings you sure are cute with each other. And he sighs!!! Like he's making a huge sacrifice instead of, you know, actually enjoying their company and not at all minding spending more time together ]

I'll see whether to participate or not. As you said, it's the company that it's important, and I suppose it is something new.

You two are terrible at times. And I'm all the more fond of you for it.

You would be fond of us if we started debating dirt. You're easy to please.

Should we? The idea was to spoil him, after all. He did mention he'd like to see us debate before.

[ the way he says it almost makes him sound like he's seriously considering DEBATING DIRT, but obviously he's joking ]

Or the man himself can tell us what he'd like. Though I feel like all this physical contact is already enough.

I'll just nap if you do. Truthfully I will in any case.

[Lazily leaning still on Lahabrea.]

And you are observant as always, Five. What I'd like is my dearest companions and closest confidants for company. Is there anything more fulfilling than that?

You heard it from him. He's so easy to please it becomes hard to find a way to spoil him.

Well. In that case.

[ he's going to move and change positions, laying down fully on the ground and just. resting his head on Emet-Selch's lap, staying there ]

I'm going to take full advantage of it.

[That's a little surprising, Five. Though not unwelcome. He starts to pet his hair softly.]

Perhaps we should move to the bed. That can't be comfortable on the floor.

[Ah it's a shame he can't lift them. Ah well.]

We may as well.

[Gently pushing Emet off and getting up to offer them both a hand.]
