[ She waves her hand again, more dismissively this time. Don't make this such a big deal! Next thing you know, he'll think she was extra dumb for pushing him away when she's actually had feelings--very deep feelings--the entire time. That, and maybe she's a little cuckoo for obsessively searching for the rabbit equivalent of a needle in a haystack.

Also? Having someone say they're proud of her? He's frying her brain. How is she supposed to respond!!! ]

It's fine! Water under the bridge. [ Mostly because if they keep talking about the subject of him leaving, they'll probably end up touching on her shitty behavior. ] Like, don't be proud or anything...

[ Moving on! She steps over to his side, watching him interact with what's probably the craziest rabbit in the resort, but he doesn't need to know that. Fun fact: she upgraded to this elaborate pen after the more modest one she first got proved inadequate. It's no fun trying to find a tiny creature in a suite that has plenty of hidey holes. Things will get really interesting once the furball is fully grown, too... ]

It's, ahh. It's been an adjustment! I've never had a pet before, so I had to do a ton of reading and asking the staff in the conservatory for help. Which, speaking of~ They helped me figure out that Stampy is Miss Stampy. [ Thanks, staff! And three coin flips. ] She's really...rambunctious! She keeps me on my toes when she's not sleeping the day away!

[ Her nice way of saying "she's fucking crazy". ]

I'm used to it now, though. It's been fun to watch her grow, for sure! Plus, getting her toys and stuff has gotten me out more. And...I like having someone around. Ahaha, even if she can't talk.

[ His cheek gets a poke. ] Basically like you! But that's fine. You're both good listeners, she's just way nicer about it~
