[There isn't even an answering machine message here, only some horrible recreation of the theme from that one SBaHJ video he did made completely of clips of different bird calls.]
[He caws for real but then he's down in a rush of feathers, and then he's genuinely laughing even as he tries (not very hard) to push at her.]
Oh fuck, I'm crushed, I've been flattened by a giant baby bunny suffering a doggy identity crisis, this is exactly the kind of health hazard the attorney general needs to start putting on adorable teenage girls, democratic government has personally failed me. Help help, save me, dramatic swoon.
[ Xion laughs loudly and keeps him pinned there with her body, wincing one eye shut at his attempts to push her off and bravely resisting them. ]
You know, you're really bad at dramatic swoons!
[ reaches up to RUFFLE HIS HAIR. ]
Um... what am I supposed to say? "No one can save you now?" [ A considering pause. ] Muahaha! [ Another beat, and: ] Hehehehe, you lost to a baby bunny. How does that feel?
[He stops struggling to focus on smoothing his hair back into place, but when she asks her question, he pauses to mull it over. His expression is bland when he answers, with raised eyebrows:]
[ That just makes her giggle again, and she rolls off him to give him some space. But with that done, she just lays back on the roof with her arms splayed. ]
I wonder if I could really get a bunny someday. I think I'd like a pet.
I just think.... I'm not ready yet. Pets are a big responsibility, right? I want to be sure I can take care of it. [ She looks off to one side with a sigh. She couldn't take care of it, after all ... if something happened to her. Or she, for some reason, had to leave. ]
[It's a simple offer, because hey, so far it hasn't been all awful, raising one another in House Dersewreck.]
I mean, your mileage may vary, but I'd like to think I don't kill everything I touch. And there's always bro and Jane and Dave. Who, well, okay, he's probably even worse than me, so never mind, tick Dave off the list.
[ She doesn't notice his eyes on her. Not until he says that, and she glances at him in surprise. After blinking once or twice, she smiles so warmly it makes her eyes crinkle. ]

Pretty par for the course actually.

Why not. Nothing's stopping you here. Bet Dirk could build it a sweet pimped-out hutch with surround-sound and everything.

[ Xion folds her arms behind her head, watching the sky. ]
... I know. But it's okay. I still think I'd rather wait. It's not like we can leave, right? Well, not if we want to. So... I probably have time.

[He goes quiet for a while, but he's watching her, not the sky.]
I could get you a stuffed bunny. Those seem to make good gifts.
no subject
Hehe. I'd be okay with a stuffed bunny.
no subject
Cool, then I will. You wanna come with me to pick it out?

[ Xion sits up, blinking at him, a little startled... and then beams at him with all the bright, blinding force of the sun. ]
Yeah! I'd love to!
