[ ears droop a bit. ]

Tch.

[throughbamboo]

[starts stroking his thumb along Gray's hand]

Finish yer drink, then we'll work on gettin' rid of all this.

[doggonemad]

God fuckin' damnit . . .

[ grumbles as he reaches over to pick up his glass, taking another shaky sip. ]

[throughbamboo]

Relax, bro. It ain't a big deal if it's just happenin' with me, right?

[doggonemad]

It's a big goddamn deal that it's happenin' at all.

[throughbamboo]

Ain't sayin' it ain't one at all, y'know. I know it bothers ya a hell of a lot.

[doggonemad]

Friggin' itches. Feels like I'm crawlin' outta my skin.

[ his tail curls around himself as he knocks back his drink, finishing off the glass. ]

[throughbamboo]

[frowns a little at that]

Does it hurt? Or is it just 'cuz ya still ain't used to it?

[doggonemad]

Prob'ly 'cause I ain't used to it.

[throughbamboo]

[an understanding noise]

Has it happened at all since the last time?

[doggonemad]

Here an' there. Not to this extent, though. Nothin' more'n my hands.

[throughbamboo]

[hums a little bit]

Think I said it last time, but we gotta get ya used to it. I don't think tryin' to avoid it happenin' would work all that well for ya.

[doggonemad]

Fuck. Fuck. I hate this shit.

[throughbamboo]

I know. [lifts their hands to kiss Gray's knuckles, he does not care about the fur]

We were just talkin' 'bout how hard ya work, bet it'll apply to this, too.

[doggonemad]

Like I need another friggin' project.

[throughbamboo]

Ain't what I mean, bro. Don't think of this as a project.

[doggonemad]

S'what it is, isn't it?

[throughbamboo]

Mmm, yes an' no. But it's workin' on yerself in a way, ain't it? An' you ain't a project.

[doggonemad]

I'm the biggest goddamn project there is.

[throughbamboo]

[turns a bit to look right at him and firmly:]

You're not a project.

[doggonemad]

If you say so, bro.

[throughbamboo]

Damn right I say so, asshole.

[there's no heat in it. He gives him a little nudge with his elbow]

Oughta listen to me, ain't I always right?

[doggonemad]

Ain't always, jackass. Ya just think you are.

[throughbamboo]

When it comes to you I am.

[doggonemad]

S'like ya know me or somethin'.

. . . the actual me.
