[he flops down and she immediately curls up against his side because she's a pest.]
Tama got mad when I told her I come here and don't visit her, so I'll probably be around. [i'm sorry she is just so squirmy, like she can't get comfortable. the cats are mad about it.]
She's definitely unique. [ like ryuki, who is so cute when ace is under love arrow and only then, ] And she likes you hanging out here too, so we might as well just keep you.
[ in a tone of voice like he is absolutely not going to do that. he's also just like. letting her do whatever she needs touching wise and not commenting on it ]
Well, it kind of helps, this way the cats can do their business outside. [ he does not have a concept of outdoor cats being bad ]
[ he thinks. he doesn't pay attention. but at that he tilts his head a bit ]
A treehouse? [ he knows no on the tiger dorm, but the treehouse part is new. huh ] I could probably help you with that. I practically lived in one as a kid.
I've never built one, but I accidentally promised Danny I'd build one so he wouldn't have to be by himself in Tiger's dumb office. [... she's mad at him right now but she knows she won't be forever.] So if you wanna help, that'd be cool. Maybe not this week. I think if I see him at any point I might eat him.
I built one with my brothers. [ so, yeah, he can definitely help build one, he means. ] And you shouldn't do that. Nothing tastes worse than sweaty teenage boys.
[ hmmm... kind of rubs at her back lightly as a test ]
About... seventeen years? [ it's joke-y in tone ] We moved out for a bit for that treehouse when I was ten, but we were in the same forest still. We'd go back from time to time to borrow their bath. And we... [ there's a pause before he shrugs ] We didn't use the treehouse as much after Sabo died.
Ha, yeah. They are both houses made of wood. [ are they. ] Point is, I'm no shipwright, but I've built both a treehouse and a ship, so I can help you with that for sure.
Maybe it'll be fixed by the time you want to choke Danny out less? [ he's not sure. where to get stuff either. ] I don't think they're gonna let us cut down the trees in the park.
Yeah... this place has a lot of stores. [ pensively. capitalism exists in one piece but not to this level? anyway he looks at her hiding her face and moves to put his hat on her again. hide in there. ] If not, maybe we just take the wood from another building we care less about.
[ it's a joke. ]
We used a lot of trash from the terminal for ours, but this place doesn't seem to have an accessible dump like that.

Well, she's right, you know. Pretty rude of you not to when she's the most exciting thing in this place.

I could be a goat. [...] I guess it's easy to be one since there are no doors.

[she appreciates this, honestly - she's going to keep doing it, because she's very nearly crawling out of her skin, but y'know.]
I wanna sleep here until I figure out how to do a treehouse.

[ he'd know, ]
no subject
Well, maybe he'd deserve it. [...] You lived in a treehouse with your brothers?
no subject
Yeah. We got tired of living with the bandits, and... Anyway, we built a treehouse. We had our own pirate flag, too, to fly over it.
no subject
absently rubbing at her arm...]
How long did you live with the bandits?

About... seventeen years? [ it's joke-y in tone ] We moved out for a bit for that treehouse when I was ten, but we were in the same forest still. We'd go back from time to time to borrow their bath. And we... [ there's a pause before he shrugs ] We didn't use the treehouse as much after Sabo died.
no subject
Oh. [...] Yeah, I guess it'd be hard to be there if it reminded you of him?
no subject
Mm. Well, that, and we did kind of build it for little kids. We wouldn't have been able to stay in it forever no matter what.
no subject
[she is less squirmy, now] You guys went and did the ocean thing anyway. If you think about it a boat is a treehouse.

... When I'm less mad at Danny we can work on it. I don't even know where to find the stuff though. Tarkea got set on fire.

I guess next week. Maybe they'll have one of those depot stores by then.

No, I like that idea, we just steal wood from - I don't know, the worst building. [...] Those dumb swan boats.
[are those even wood]
