[ it is good news!!! news that she likes very much. it's enough to make her try to be bolder...what. what if she tries to pet his snoot? is that acceptable?? ]
[ rufus is saying words and izumo isn't hearing them. the only thing she's acknowledging is how she's been blessed by a rub. ...which makes her a bit more bold in her pets.
[Oh, that's fine. Rupe accepts the pets and scratching, then responds by pawing at her very friendly hand once. Rufus just doesn't say anything, because she's ignoring him now and that's equally fine.]
well, if he's not going to complain then izumo will definitely fawn over her new furry acquaintance. she'll try to gently hold onto rupe's paw and maybe see if he'll shake.
she...loves....soft things so much. does she care that it doesn't quite look like a normal dog? nope. it's fine. she grew up in a shrine with fox demons. ]
[Rupe's paw sits tamely in Izumo's palm. His fur is a little coarse, but not terribly so. Although he's no household dog with fancy tricks to spare, he won't pull away if she attempts to shake.]
[ WHY THE FUCK DID I LOSE THIS TAG...?? IN MY SEA OF IZUMO BECOMES INCREASINGLY DISTRESSED THREADS THERE WAS THIS GOLD NUGGET....
anyway, izumo is playing shake with rupe. rupe is now her new best friend. shoves all of the people she has been talking to. you don't have to answer this jae, i just. need this. ]
[Rupe is Izumo's best friend until Rufus decides that it's time to leave, at which point he follows. But Izumo gets to play shake for at least a minute or so before that happens. Good deal!]

So, do you remember where you got it? [ please let her pet rupe. ] ...your pet.
no subject
[There's a beat, then another that passes by without a response. On the third, however, Rupe gives the tips of her fingers a single sniff.]
no subject
You remember nothing about them.
[ that must be weird. ]
Have you considered giving them a new name?
no subject
He already has one. A new name is unnecessary.
no subject
Won't it be difficult to address them or call them over when you need to?
no subject
He follows me on his own. If I were to give him another name, it would confuse him.
no subject
Do you know for sure?
no subject
Naming him again at this juncture would merely be for my own convenience—one I can do without.
no subject
Is it really that complicated?
no subject
It's fine as it is now.
no subject
how about a scritch under his jaw??? ]
