I mean. I bought that coffee for me. I was really looking forward to it.
❰ and it's not that he can't afford another, it's the principal of the thing. so yes, it bothers him — but probably less than it would if he didn't get a hefty monthly allowance. ❱
It's Hunter. Or Haneul, whichever's easier for you. Can I have my phone now?
❰ he's not asking without offering anything back, look, here's your phone. please hand his back it has government secrets. ❱
❰ hanni? friends??? what????? hunter can't even respond to any of it before puppy's called his phone and saved his number. is this what making friends is like for normal people? he's pretty sure it isn't. surely he'd have seen this in a movie or something if it was normal. ❱
I didn't plan on ever seeing you again, ❰ is all he can say. at least it's not rudely meant; he just sounds perplexed, not unhappy. ❱
Are you always like this? Were you raised by wolves? How are you real?
It's whatever. Everyone has parents. Some people have weird parents. Do you like donuts? You were eating a donut last time. We should get a box and eat them!
[ time to go? time to go! puppy gets up, gets the drink, holds out hand. field trip yay??? ]
❰ whatever it's not important. puppy gets up coffee still in hand and holds out his hand and for a second hunter just stares at it like's it's got some kind of disease...
and then he takes puppy's hand, and uses it to pull puppy toward him so he can grab his coffee back, thank you very much. ❱
Are you like. Okay? Are you lonely? Do you need help with something?
❰ you're way too eager to hang out with a guy you've never met before, something must be wrong in your life. ❱
❰ how are you real? how has no one taken advantage of your general strangeness and taught you that strangers can't always be trusted?
well, if no one else has, it falls to hunter. it'd be irresponsible to just leave puppy without trying to impart some potentially life-saving wisdom. ❱
You shouldn't just hang out with people you don't know like that. What if I was a serial killer, or something? You don't know what I might do to you, or want from you. And you shouldn't take things that belong to other people, cuz what if I got really mad about my coffee and started yelling at you?
If you started yelling at me then I'd just walk away from you, I don't like people when they yell at me so why would I stay and listen?
Are you a serial killer? Are you gonna kill me?
[ many things have happened to puppy in his long and strange life, for all that he seems to retain a very naive-like outlook in almost everything. he's been caged, literally and figuratively, and he's been killed; both events have left scars on his skin and on his mind, and he's nowhere near self-actualized enough to unpack the trauma he's experienced.
so he's not really coping very well, or healthily for that matter, but he looks hanni in the eyes - those kind, handsome eyes - and clasps hanni's hand with both of his. ]
If you don't mean me any harm then I'm not in trouble. So let's go?

[ yay, friends! maybe? puppy's still in possession of the drink, though. it's a bit too sweet, but nothing he'll die from.
the first thing puppy does after picking his own phone back up is to scroll through the list of calls, save haneul's number, and then hit dial.
ah, it's ringing. perfect. ]
So you'll text me, right? We'll hang out too?

[ what does puppy know of normal? he's a cat. ]
And not wolves. My guardians are a phoenix and a dragon, and they raised me as a cat. Wolves are mean to me, as are most dogs, I smell weird to them.
How do you make friends, then?

[ puppy looks at him quizzically, a little offended but mostly just lost. why would he be lonely? why would he need help, too? he's doing pretty good!
he frowns at hanni, tilts his head aside. ]
I'm okay. I'm not hurt or anything. Why, do you want to play?
