This is Brendan Frye. If it's urgent, you might have a better chance o' tracking me down on foot. If I'm not answering, chances are I've gotten in over my head with something, not that I'm refusin' to give you the time of day. So leave me some words and I'll get back to you as soon as I don't have a fire to put out.

no subject
Date: 2017-09-27 05:40 am (UTC)And for what it's worth, I am happy. We are happy, happier than I thought was possible in this world.
I have not! She sounds darling. Give me about thirty minutes.

Date: 2017-09-28 07:56 pm (UTC)she is small yet fearless and also best friends with manabu's dog scout, who's also staying over. i think scout thinks scarlet is a smaller puppy he needs to protect? it's a strange yet intriguing friendship.

Date: 2017-09-28 08:36 pm (UTC)I love them already.
[ And a couple minutes after that, there's a knock at the front door. Open up! ]

Date: 2017-09-28 09:01 pm (UTC)If I get drunk and fall asleep on you, I wanna clarify right up front it's not me hittin' on you. I just get sleepy when smashed; I don't hit on taken men.

Date: 2017-09-28 11:08 pm (UTC)Not to worry, if the need shall arise, I will push you off of me with the appropriate force.
[ His eyes dart up towards Brendan, chancing the wrath of the quite scary and intimidating creature. ]
I brought your tupperware back, and filled it with stroganoff. Something to soak up the alcohol.

Date: 2017-09-28 11:17 pm (UTC)If I get fall asleep on a guy drunk, I won't remember. Just set me down somewhere soft when I'm incoherent.
...to be fair to me, cooking an' baking isn't the same without Manabu here to eat it. [He looks down at Scarlet, rubbing her head gently, and for a moment his shoulders slump. It's stupid, but he misses Manabu praising Brendan's average-to-slightly-okay food.]

It's good to see you.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-29 05:40 am (UTC)[Said quoll sniffs at Yusuke, curiously. Brendan takes the Tupperware container from him and gently places Scarlet into Yusuke's hands. Tail withstanding, she's still the length of a hand, though she's not skinny anymore and her fur is glossier. She immediately nibbles at the button of his shirt, causing Brendan to roll his eyes.]
Well, you're chewable. She'll love you forever, now. That's her one criteria for friendship.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-29 07:01 pm (UTC)[ Sorry Futaba, Yusuke has a new best friend and it's this tiny creature happily accepting strokes on the head with his thumb. ]
How about a distraction? Or at the very least, something less ghastly sounding than...what did you say? Pineapple schnapps?
no subject
Date: 2017-09-30 02:14 am (UTC)[Scarlet sticks her nose under Yusuke's shirt, a weird nuzzling instinct she gets from being a baby. Brendan's more or less used to it, but he hopes Yusuke doesn't mind. Quolls are very tactile pets.]
Pineapple schnapps aren't ghastly. I've drank rubbing alcohol, I know ghastliness when I taste it. But if you have a distraction in mind, I'm all ears, Langosta TrĂ¡gica.

Date: 2017-10-01 01:13 am (UTC)[ He doesn't mind the quoll one bit, of course, it's only one of the cutest things he's ever seen? ]
Something light hearted?
no subject
Date: 2017-10-01 08:15 pm (UTC)[Brendan shrugs, looking almost as tired as he feels. The fact that he's just rolling with whatever Yusuke wants to do is a good indicator of how low he really feels, even if he's trying to act fine.] Like what? I already tried dressing Scarlet up for my own amusement, and that just made me wish Manabu was here more. Although I do have a working Halloween costume for her now, so it's not a total loss.
no subject
Date: 2017-10-02 05:30 am (UTC)[ Yusuke is not above abusing his powers to save money.
He notices the lack of argument, and that he's been here for an entire two minutes without some bizarre quip that Yusuke has to google, but he's trying to work on this thing called tact? He won't mention it. From now. ]
A movie, maybe?
no subject
Date: 2017-10-04 12:32 am (UTC)[Issues is a light way of putting it, but he's distracted by Scarlet scaling Yusuke's shirt to sit on his shoulder, clinging to him.] She wants affection. Well, affection that isn't Scout licking her. [He loves Manabu's dog, but Scout's licking is a bit much for a baby quoll who is still basically hand-sized.]
Movie's a good idea. That way I can still keep an eye on the animals. Manabu's a little worried about 'em, you know? Haven't had the heart to tell him Scout keeps sitting by the window and staring out at the street.

Date: 2017-10-05 02:01 am (UTC)Do they need constant supervision? She doesn't look like she would hurt a fly.
no subject
Date: 2017-10-06 08:07 am (UTC)But she'll sleep in your lap for the whole movie if you let her. And Scout'll sleep on my feet because he just does that, for some reason. Dunno why he's going all guard dog on me. 'm fine. [No, he's not.]
