Of course he did.

[Mr. Animal Handler.

Wiggling a almost transparent finger at the rats even though it does nothing.]

I'm glad you have two. They are very social creatures and should always come in pairs.

[crimebaby]

If it's one thing he knows, it's animal training. [ a bit wryly ] Like I said, I'll take any tips you have to offer.

[ livio is a responsible pet owner. poppy quacks because livio is not paying enough attention to her, so he carefully lifts up a hand to pet her softly ]

[ the rats are also well trained, livio gets them to climb up onto his shoulder, stand up on their hind legs and do the rat equivalent of a wave at d ]

[onlypets]

It sounds like you've had good instruction.

[For as awful as Simon can be, the man knows the animals.......... even if D has a distaste for circus culture in regards to animals. Anyway.

He laughs gently at the rats, but it's a genuine laugh. Funny hearing his laugh and not seeing very much of him.]

[crimebaby]

[ d is such a nerd... livio also seems pretty happy. he likes animals, and he's not currently afraid of hurting them, so he's having fun with his lil posse. also i think we determined that circuses don't exist in trigun so he has no frame of reference ]

So what have you been up to, on the other side? Aside from making everyone dress up as maids and eating chocolate.

[ he is joking ]

[onlypets]

[There's a disembodied huff of exhale.]

Why do I keep getting blamed for that? We decided to meet on Monday, and the maid cafe felt like the best place is all. I didn't make anyone do anything...

There were sweets, of course.

[crimebaby]

Does seem like something ya would do. [ sticking his tongue out a bit... but teasing ]

... Ya guys had to dress up as maids to go into the cafe and meet? [ ???? ]

[onlypets]

[A transparent, in-and-out hand comes up and through Livio's face, almost like he's trying to grab the tongue but obviously can't.]

Yes. It was a requirement to be in the cafe. We had to dress as maids and butlers and say, "How can we serve you, Master?"

[crimebaby]

[ making a face at d while sticking out further.... don't ghost grab his tongue that's weird? ]

.... Oh.

[ suddenly, things make sense ]

I guess weirder things have happened.

[onlypets]

[Don't be sticking it out at him if you don't want it ghost grabbed, Livio!]

I think much weirder things happened on your side anyhow.

[crimebaby]

[ don't ghost grab tongues, weirdo!! ]

.... Can't deny that. I didn't dress up weird, though.

[onlypets]

[Hmmmmmm.]

Perhaps you already dress weird, so there was no need.

[crimebaby]

[ normally he'd get self conscious about this but he seems weirdly incapable of it ]

I've got pretty good fashion sense. Ya didn't complain when I gave ya my hat.

[onlypets]

Mmm.... It was a bit small...

[It fit his head fine, but he is surprisingly tsundere for a guy who is emotionally competent.]

A little out of fashion for me in particular.

[crimebaby]

What would ya have me wear? Robes?

[ imagine this turns into shopping trip ]

[onlypets]

Oh, it's fine on you, Mr. Livio. I just mean on me. I don't look very good in Western clothing.

[MAYBE IT SHOULD BE A SHOPPING TRIP, THOUGH. Help Livio.]

[crimebaby]

[ awww ]

Well, maybe ya should give them a chance.

[ how did this happen ...... ]

[onlypets]

I assure you, I have, and that is exactly how I know they look atrocious on me. No thank you.

[He will stick with his very fancy Chinese clothing, including the dresses.]

[crimebaby]

Ya do look nice in what yer wearing now.

[ from what livio can actually see when he's flickering into existence ]

T-chan is with ya, right?

[onlypets]

You can barely see me, Mr. Livio, so that almost feels like a lie.

[Teasing.]

He is, yes. Do you want to say hi?

[crimebaby]

I saw ya earlier....

[ no teasing allowed ]

Sure. Just wanted to make sure he was okay, too.

[onlypets]

Looking hard, hm?

[The in and out of him shifts, winks out completely, and then after a long moment he comes back into view. This time, he's holding what may be T-chan. Piece of a horn, a little furry, one striped tiger paw.]

Here he is.

[T-CHAN IS LOOKING LIKE ?????????]

[crimebaby]

You wish.

[ sticking his tongue out again!!! seems like he got better at handling teasing. or maybe it's an effect, hm. ]

[ oh, a bit awkward, waves ]

Um... h-hey T-chan!!! Hope yer doing okay!!! Sorry ta bug ya....

[onlypets]

[Growing up, Livio...... Getting more confident.

D lifts one of T-chan's paws and waves. T-CHAN IS REALLY LOOKING AROUND LIKE WH....? But D just pets him afterward.]

He says hello.

[crimebaby]

[ mysterious confident effect maybe... ]

[ the rats wave back, at livio's behest but frankly they have no idea what's happening ]

I guess he can't see me....?

[onlypets]

[Cuuute.]

I don't think he can, I guess... Well, at least you can see him.
