Mmm, 'm sure he will. Bet you ain't the only one who'll want their name back.

[a beat. Another thoughtful skritch]

I'll go after mine when ya go for yours.

[doggonemad]

[ mmm, leans in. ]

Yeah? That'd help a lot.

[throughbamboo]

[keeps doing it]

Mmm. Figure I'll help whoever even after that, but . . . if yer gettin' yours back, I want mine back too.

[doggonemad]

Could be dangerous.

. . . heh! When's that ever stopped us, though.

[throughbamboo]

[he snorts softly]

Was gonna say, that don't mean too much for us.

[doggonemad]

Damn right. Ugh, gonna hafta deal with that fuckin' mist, though. They were all out there.

[throughbamboo]

S'a pain, but ain't a surprise it's not gonna be easy.

[doggonemad]

Fuck. When I get mine back, I want ya ta use it, like, all the fuckin' time. Until it gets weird, at least.

[throughbamboo]

[he hums a little, trying to find that good spot again]

Won't be that weird, ain't like I never call ya by name. [a pause] Or d'ya mean yer given name?

[doggonemad]

[ it's easy to tell because his ear flicks when he finds it and he bumps his head into his hand. ]

I dunno. Fuck. Both, why not. Use whatever the hell ya want.

[throughbamboo]

[he smiles briefly at that and focuses the skritches there]

Ya say that, but I've always used whatever the hell I want with ya.

[doggonemad]

Bah. I just wanna hear ya say my name.

[throughbamboo]

[he softens a little]

The moment ya get it back.

[doggonemad]

— an' then I wanna scream yer name, too. Nueeeee just don't have the same ring to it, I know that much!

[throughbamboo]

[he should have expected this. He barks out a laugh, giving his ear a little tug]

Well shit, now I do want it back as soon as possible.

[doggonemad]

M'a simple guy!

[throughbamboo]

Yer a simple shit, ya mean.

[doggonemad]

That too.

[throughbamboo]

What if I wanna make ya scream my nickname before that, eh? Just once.

[he's joking, of course.

. . . what if he changes how he sits . . . to get both ears at the same time . . . ]

[doggonemad]

[ oh god. he doesn't respond because he's too busy letting out a happy little noise. ]

[throughbamboo]

[he grins at the noise]

Takin' that as a maybe.

[doggonemad]

Ffffuck youuuuuu.

[throughbamboo]

Oh, ya want me ta stop?

[doggonemad]

. . .

We ain't never speakin' of this once I change back. Ya got it?

[throughbamboo]

[huffs out a little amused noise]

Yeah, yeah. Ain't like any of this was gonna leave yer room anyway.
