[...Why do they have underwear for the bears. Silver tries not to look at them, but then can't help but eventually grab one, wave it around, and say-]

Why didn't they name these underbear? They had a perfect opportunity and let it go by.

Perhaps they thought that it would be too crude. [ Though... isn't this already sort of.... ] I'm surprised they'd consider giving their bears satin underwear, however.

[ Even she doesn't have those? Like, these are some surprisingly fancy bears, apparently. ]

Furthermore, it's a bit speciesist to only give the bear some undergarments, wouldn't you say?

They're already speciesist as is. I don't think these are going to fit Potato's friend.

[But he'll pass her a pair of red ones anyway. Go on, give it a try. ...Would it be obscene to put underwear on a bunny that's supposed to be like Liz, or does that make them mandatory? Shit. Maybe he can slip on a pair while she's occupied.]

[ Red so isn't his color... But she'll try and fit it on him anyway. Go put on some underwear on your Elizabun, she'll be at this for a good bit before she gives up and decides he looks just fine with a hoodie.

He's a dog. He doesn't need underwear. It's fine. It'd only get in the way, and his tail is too cute to hide. ]

[There's a little hole for the tail. Silver keeps trying to get a tiny little bunny tail through some of these obnoxious underwear before realizing that it isn't worth it and trying to discard them. Let's move on from the underwear, shall we? He can just put the bunny in some cute blue dress, no underwear required.]

Are you going for a full denim look?

[Should he keep an eye out for denim shoes-]

[ The shih tzu's tail is too big!! ]

I wasn't considering it, however... Now that you've mentioned it, absolutely.

[ Denim's hardy! And she likes it, even if she never wears it, ever. Except in certain people's nightmares. ]

[In that case, he'll hold two little denim shoes- seriously, what were they thinking when they made these- and "walk" them right on over to Liz. She understands what he's about. At this very moment, their humor is as one.]

Glad we're on the same page.

[ She laughs softly, taking the shoes from him and carefully fitting them on her dog. There... Perfect. His jhoes. ]

He looks marvelous. Thank you, Silver.

[A dog absolutely covered in denim and a bunny with a dress and a bow...]

You know, I'm starting to think this was just a celebration for the continuing return of the color blue.

Why not? It's quite an auspicious occasion... though I'm certain I have plenty of acquaintances who would argue we shouldn't celebrate until eye colors have returned as well.

[ ...Poor Sena. ]

I was considering wearing a few blue pieces myself, now that I have the chance to... Most tend to be a little too saturated for my liking, but... [ ...mmm. It's not that she wants to be more like her other self—far from it, really—but she does look quite nice in colors that aren't just... aggressively neutral. Ah, she's got it. ] Well, I suppose I'd simply like to try something new.

What about some bright blue pumps? You get the bold colors, but not too much, and that should go with most of your outfits.

[Liz is now the holder of one of Silver's greatest and most well kept secrets- he isn't always a fashion disaster. But his expression softens up a little.]

I can think of a bunch of things you'd look good in, but the truth is that you're beautiful enough to pull off anything you want.

[ Elizabeth's heard that sort of thing more frequently—that she's very pretty, that she's cute, that she looks good in things, that she's beautiful—but it never fails to give her pause anyway, an uncertainty in how she should accept it.

It's like she told Chiyo, though. All you have to do is say thank you. ...Except it sounds like Silver's thought about her in other things before, and that's a little weird, but she smiles slightly anyway and busies herself with adjusting her shih tzu's clothes in the meanwhile. ]

Thank you. If I'm honest, I don't believe I'll ever get used to hearing things like that... [ "You were beautiful up there," is a sentiment she's much more used to hearing. Comments about her actions or her acting, aspects she's worked on... Not things she's simply born with. ] What's after clothing them?

[ Moving RIGHT ALONG— ]

[Look, if you can't picture someone in every color of the rainbow (except maybe green) off of the top of your head, then what good are you-]

Well, after that is when we make our daring escape with our new companions.

[Ah yes, their daring escape all the way over to the cash register, unless Liz is really sold on printing out a birth certificate for her stuffed dog.]

[ Why wouldn't she??? They'll both have pedigrees like this.

...Please wait for her, she is going to get a birth certificate for her stuffed dog. ]

[...Well, shit, he's going to watch. He won't do one for the Liz bunny because that's... Kind of weird, but he's curious to see what she'll name her second dog.]

[ A good name... Something to match Potato...

Sausage. Potato and Sausage. Perfect. ]

[Potato and sausage... It's not surprising that Liz is dedicated to her food theme.]

Are you picking your favorite foods, or whatever seems right at the time?

[Although he can't say that he isn't curious about the thought that went into it. Is it simply whatever strikes her fancy? Her favorite foods? Perhaps she's simply named Potato after something just as good as her dog.

I wanted him to match with Potato, and... Well, I originally named Potato so because he reminded me of one. They're both very small, after all.

[ ...She's a simple girl. Rich and classy and with high-quality tastes, but simple. ]

[...He holds his hands out in front of him, like he's trying to imagine Potato the dog, then potato the food... But he shakes his head quickly. He named Feraligatr after the color blue.]

How are you going to keep the trend up? Are you just going to go through every breakfast food?

[He says, as if he fully expects Liz to bring home another pet sometime.]

Edited 2017-11-07 04:37 (UTC)

I'm not going to be getting anymore pets. I already don't have enough time for Potato, really...

[ Which... is upsetting in its own way, but she won't dwell on it. She's doing her best to be a dog mom, and she has Goro and Silver helping out... and even her uncle will, if she asks him. And he isn't busy with this or that. ]

We don't really have the space for another, either.

Not really. All things considered, we make really good use of our space.

[It's a given that he and Goro will help out, and he understands having a busy schedule, but...]

What's keeping you away? Your studies?

Yes. On top of taking absolutely as many classes as they would allow me to, I take extra practice outside of my piano lessons, and I work at my uncle's flower shop still part-time. I also have homework to consider, projects, theater club and its productions...

[ ...Ah, well. She smiles brightly, wiggling one of Sausage's paws. ]

It's quite a lot, and honestly, October was quite rough on me... but I'm certain I'll be able to finish up the year without issue. Well, provided there isn't anything too terrible happening because of unreality or et cetera.

[...That's a lot. A lot more than he was expecting really. Where does she get time to breathe between all of that? And he thought he had a rough time last month...]

So when do you get time to relax? Don't you have any days to yourself?

I take Sundays off... Generally to relax, yes, or to finish up things here and there.

[ Which is what her Sundays have largely turned into, yes— she's also managed to have friends, right? So she keeps up some semblance of a social life? And then there's managing to sleep, eat, and all of that... ]

But enough about that. We should pay for these before the workers here get tired of our prattling on, shouldn't we?

Yeah, we should.

[And with that, he'll get in line- thankfully, it's not too long, but before they reach the front-]

Is there no way you could get another day off?
