[doggonemad]

Bah. Party pooper.

[throughbamboo]

You'll get over it.

[doggonemad]

I will, I always do. Jus' like I'll get over that bunny butthead.

[ stretches. ]

S'long as I get a lil' break from his shit, anyway.

[throughbamboo]

I'll keep 'im off ya. Let him tattle on ya for whatever he thinks he's tattlin' 'bout.

[doggonemad]

Get his ass, bro.

[throughbamboo]

Hope he won't be too disappointed when I don't do shit.

[doggonemad]

Bet he's been talkin' shit 'bout me. Joke's on him, ya've had access to my notebook from the moment ya got here.

[throughbamboo]

If he's talkin' shit, it ain't ta me. But he did tell me 'bout the stage ya built.

[doggonemad]

Ain't built no stages.

Only thing that's close was, yanno, makin' sure the community center had a stage . . .

[throughbamboo]

Yeah, that's what he was talkin' 'bout.

Like I don't know ya do shit like that.

[doggonemad]

Right, I don't like advertisin' that shit.

[throughbamboo]

[he smiles a bit]

'Course not. Got an image ta maintain'n all.

[doggonemad]

An' if some sicko goes diggin' for weaknesses, I sure as shit ain't makin' it easy fer 'em an' puttin' those kids in the line of fire. Fuck that.

[throughbamboo]

Mmm, I know. Goes without sayin'.

[doggonemad]

With you, anyway.

[throughbamboo]

With me. But I get it, too.

[doggonemad]

S'nice havin' ya 'round again. Ain't gotta feel like I hafta explain shit.

[throughbamboo]

Known ya for a couple'a years, I got an advantage.

["a couple"]

[doggonemad]

Yeah, yeah, an' ya ain't lettin' me do anythin' fun.

[ but he says that playfully, so.

you know. ]

[throughbamboo]

Can't let ya get yer way all the time.

[doggonemad]

[ rolls over, then just sort of curls around him idly. ]

You are no fun whatsoever.

[throughbamboo]

[ah . . . his expression softens a little]

'M a borin' old man, I know.

All right if I touch ya?

[doggonemad]

[ his eye shifts towards his hands, like he's ready and waiting for his movements. ]

Yeah, go fer it.

[throughbamboo]

[he nods faintly, lifting his hand to lightly brush some of his hair back before resting on top of his head. A little awkward and stilted, like it's something he hasn't done in a long time.

He's careful to avoid the eyepatch strap, too]

[doggonemad]

[ really the only thing different is the eyepatch strap. otherwise, it's like they're back in the 80s.

Hannya tenses briefly, before it slowly starts to seep out of him as Nue brushes his hair back. ]
