Torgal? [A small laugh.] Aye, not as fickle as this one, but he was a bit rough at first. Almost took my arm off first time I ran into him.

Still, took to being back with humans quick as you please, especially after Charon found those bones he liked.

[And a bit of a hard knock to the head, but, you know, arm thing.]

But not the first time I took care of dogs before.

Hmmm, back before I came to Valisthea, though I handled a few even after that.

[There's a far off, nostalgic look in his eyes as he stares down at his half empty glass.]

Hunting dogs, mainly. Some were made to be as aggressive as you can imagine, but others were easier to please.

[There's just a moment before he looks back up at her, that unreadable, wry grin on his lips.]

Aye, they do. Sometimes too good...and often times undeserving of their masters.

[His voice seems to trail at the end, the slight furrow of his brow forming before he just shrugs and raises his glass to his lips.]

But they're certainly easier to handle than cats.

[There's a slight look of surprise not when she approaches, but when he feels her fingers against his brow. It immediately conjures those old memories, of those times when she would do this when she didn't know what else to do. How long has it been since she's done this...

And he just stands there staring at her for a moment before he finally lets out his own small laugh.]


Throw a fit, likely.

[He then downs the rest of his beer before setting the glass against the counter and crosses his arms, watching the cat dig her teeth and claws into that mouse.]

I'd be more worried about the dog. Would have to be one that is either tolerant enough to not mind whatever she tries to do, or tough enough to put her in her place when pushed too far.

[A light chuckle.]

Or dumb enough to not care and piss her off enough that she stays away on her own.

It is if it keeps wanting to play with her.

[But he says that fondly and with an amused grin at the thought. Just some big dog like a golden retriever wanting to play with Ash but she just has none of it and hides up in her tree.]

Not sure how Torgal would handle it. I know Jill got a cat, but that one seemed a lot calmer and more obedient than Ash.

I think it's more likely to boss them around than make friends.

[Sounds very familiar.

And Cid is amused as his own seems aghast over the idea. He walks over to rub his knuckle over the back of her neck, which seems to placate her some.]

[.....Hm?

He looks up when she starts to clean her glass... And after glancing at Ash who is now just sitting and grooming herself, he smirks a bit and walks over to her before he's right behind her, caging her as his hands grab the counter on either side of her.]


Jealous?

[A low chuckle.]

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

[Cid's brows arch up super high at her words....

............

.......................................

And then he just double over in laughter. Loud laughter. Sorry, hold on, he can't talk right now.]

Just—

[SORRY BUT THIS—]

Well—she's old all right—

[He's wiping his eyes. Does she get the hint?]
ramuhs: (⚡ 033)

[personal profile] ramuhs 2023-11-28 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[OKAY OKAY—]

Hell if I know her real age and doubt anyone would live if they tried to ask.

[Another snicker as he clears his throat.]

But Old Nan is one of my finest merchants, capable of bringing in goods that none other can get their hands on.

[Another snort.]

No, the only flames she'd be setting is all our asses should we do her wrong. Not a woman to be trifled with—and I would commend any old sod who managed to try and date her and lived to tell the tale.

[He did and that smug look on his face says as much even if he doesn't voice it.

Now his smirk is only deepening further as he takes in her flushed face.]


Now what would you do if I did have someone else?

[If this were more serious he would call her out on double standards, but as it isn't this is amusing as it's revealing a lot.]
