[ They cover their mouth with a hand. ]

What?!

[tactic]

He just doesn't realize it yet.

[ OKAY ]

[mygod]

[ ALRIGHT! SURE! ]

I see... Are you sure you might not scare him away?

[tactic]

What's this? Trying to give me advice?

[ tbh he could use it ]

[mygod]

[ APPARENTLY HE DOES. ]

Oh, yeah, I'm an expert in this sort of thing!

[tactic]

[ He doesn't know Pestilence, he doesn't know whether or not to believe this, but he is so madly in love with Cloud that he's tempted. ]

Your expertise won't serve me very well when he's a dog.

[mygod]

Huh... is that so...

[ They consider this... ]

You can still spend time together. He'll remember it.

[tactic]

[ The vibes... they become somber... ]

It might be better if he didn't.

[mygod]

[ Oh... ]

Huh? Why's that?

[tactic]

[ ... Picks a stupid reason to get out of this corner. ]

I wouldn't want to remember being a dog.

[mygod]

[ AVENTURINE... be open. ]

Really? Is there something wrong with being a dog?

[tactic]

[ HISSES LIKE WET CAT ]

He's probably picking up fleas as we speak.

[mygod]

[ In a hushed tone, ]

Then you can give him a bath.

[tactic]

Why are you coming up with weird scenarios in your head?

[mygod]

I'm reading your mind... It's what you're imagining...

[ no ]

[tactic]

[ SHOOK ]

Well, now I am!

[mygod]

[ Naughty... ]

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this.

[tactic]

[ It's hard being in love... ]

While I'm here, I may as well ask if you can provide a few things that I need.

[mygod]

Ah, nice topic change.

But yeah, shoot.

[tactic]

For starters, comfortable blankets for the barn.

[mygod]

Awwww.

What's there isn't comfy?

[tactic]

You should come by and try them out for yourself.

[ Fucking brace yourself, there's more to come. Aventurine will even start counting off on his fingers. ]

Soap, shampoo, conditioner, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, traps to get rid of all these rats—Oh! Maybe something for the barn smell. I guess candles are out of the question with all the hay inside, but maybe a spray freshener or even some perfume.

[mygod]

Haha, no thanks! I'm good.

[ You can't pay them to go in any of those places! ]

Wow. Quite a list there.

[tactic]

The bare essentials, I would think.

[ Aventurine you won't even SEE THESE if they do happen. ]

[mygod]

Well, you're not getting all of that.

But what's your priorities?
