[Anger from Yazoo is like a heavenly strike from Shiva herself-- frigid, sharp, and well-aimed. It's not unlike the way Sephiroth himself expresses anger, but Yazoo has practically turned it into an art form. Indeed, Sephiroth knows when he's earned his brother's ire.]
I suppose all we can do is give it time. It had no collar or chip to speak of, so I'm inclined to think the latter... Nevertheless, between Kadaj and Loz, I'm not sure I can handle another animal in the house.
[Not that he doesn't care for them, of course, but Gaia, they're both handfuls in their own very unique (and headache-inducing) ways. Adding a stray dog to the pile just means more responsibility for the actually responsible ones.]
I most definitely do not want to be here for that conversation at all. Or for the week after but we’ll make do, I suppose.
[Especially if Kadaj decided to throw in with Loz. The sensitivity was one thing but the righteous anger too? Kadaj would start a war of epic proportions to keep Loz’s new pet and good luck to anyone caught in his wake.]
How long until that conversation? I promise I’m not going to find somewhere else to hide...In theory.
Unless you have another suggestion, I fail to see what else we can do. You know as well as I that we'll be the ones caring for the thing, and this household is enough of a handful as it is.
Hm. Likely story. Fortunately, I'm still in the brainstorming phase.
[A pause between texts, and then--]
How receptive do you suppose Loz would be to laying ground rules for keeping it? Childish as he can be, he's quite dedicated to a task once he cares enough.
[They just need to have a long talk about not walking in front of vehicles, apparently.]
You certainly can't blame me for trying. Take your time. I'm just watching the two cry at each other.
[And he was so looking forwards to just not being there for a week. Maybe "accidentally" forget his phone at home and come back after the worst of it was over. Then again, did he want to end up in Sephiroth's dog house any more then his brother wanted to be in his? Probably not.]
I suppose if the choice is rules or good-bye Waffles, he'd be fairly receptive. And he does seem to be rather bonded to the beast already for whatever that's worth.
[With any luck, his brother's enthusiasm will last indefinitely or once the talk about ground rules start, he'll lose interest instantly and they can remove the silly creature to a home that would be more appropriate for it. Oh, to be so lucky.]
As though we're not plagued with enough noise in this household...
[Oh, the dog house would be putting it lightly, Yazoo. It's one thing to aggressively avoid the dog situation and quite another to go no contact. Sephiroth would worry himself sick. Would you really want to do that to the poor man? He's already stressed as it is!]
Precisely my thought. Either it will serve as a good lesson in responsibility, or it will spare us the fiasco entirely.
For now, however... I will be home before long. Are we in further need of medical supplies for Loz? Food for the dog?
I really think you would benefit from some noise cancelling headphones when you're working in your office. Would you like to borrow mine to try them out?
[Probably the only reason that's kept him from doing just that. Gosh, this whole being a part of a family thing has it's inconveniences at times.]
I just hope we can all live with whatever that outcome is.
I believe he's fine for painkillers, the dog could use more kibble though and popsicels for Loz wouldn't go amiss.
[The distraction might help break him out of his navel epiphany and stem the water works.]

How goes?
No need to remind me. I'm too keenly aware.

Root beer if they have them.
[Okay and maybe Yazoo wouldn't mind one either.]
