"He's so long." She said, smiling softly as she sat up and patted her lap. The dog folded into her lap and she lay there, giving it belly rubs, baby talking it as she buried her face into his neck, letting Claude's arms remain around her. "I love both dogs and cats. But I saved Taffy. She's just a cranky old girl, that's all."
“Very long. And he still believes he’s a lap dog, you know.” Claude let go of Crystal, running his fingers through his hair. “She’s very cranky. I think she’s growing on me, though.”
"Ah, we'll see. She may tolerate you at best. And what do you mean, I think he's a great lap dog. Isn't that right beautiful?" She said with a smile, kissing it's snout. She left behind a red lipstick mark, which made her grin and giggle.
“He’s a great lap dog, sure, until it’s 3 AM and he steps on your dick because he wasn’t comfortable enough laying on you and has to move.” Claude laughed, breaking into a soft grin when he saw the lipstick on the dog’s white fur.
"And that is why cats are better." She says smarty, sitting up a bit,slowly returning to her usual self as she sat up, and got the dog off of her lap.
“What? I guarantee a cat would do the same thing!” Claude argued back, letting Orpheus’ head fall onto his own lap.
"Cats are sophisticated. Smart and independent." She said with an air of confidence, smile growing a bit more as she sighed,nuzzling into him just a bit.
“Like dogs aren’t? I’ll have you know, this dog is plenty smart. And he’s very sophi- okay, he looks very sophisticated.” Claude held up his dog’s chin, giving the animal a quick kiss on the top of the head. “Don’t try to tell me this face doesn’t just scream elegance!”
"Dear. I am elegance. He is just skinny and tripping over his claws. And trained and smart are two separate things."
Claude scoffed indignantly. “First of all, that’s because he’s a baby. The boy’s only one, give him a chance to toddle around! Second, I never said he was trained. He just follows me around because I’m basically his dad.” He laughed, continuing to pet the dog.
"Again. Just a pup. Not elegant." She tapped his nose and got up,heading to the shower, leaving the icecream there to melt.
Claude rolled his eyes, getting up as well. He closed up the ice cream tub, walking back to the kitchen to put it in the freezer.
She came out of the shower and got dressed, and stayed there. She still didn't really want to get out of bed.
Claude checked the time. 11:30. He walked back to Crystal’s room, knocking on her door before coming in. “It’s almost noon, Crys. Are you really just gonna stay in bed all day?”
"Yes." She said strictly. "And before you ask I do plan on eating nothing but icecream all day."
“..God, that makes me nauseous just thinking about it. You’re gonna feel worse than if you just.. like.. eat a vegetable or somethin’, I don’t know.” Claude sat back down on her bed. “Can I at least get you water?”
"Some rosehip tea would be wonderful dear." She said with a smile. "And I eat plenty healthy! I just had my heart broken thank you very much." She said smartly. "Leave it alone."
“‘Dear’?” Claude raised his eyebrows. “You sound like a grandma or something. But yea, I’ll get you that tea.”
"I call everyone dear. It's just how I am." She said with a shrug. "Thank you." She then drew up her blankets around her, not used to people not liking her or pointing things like that out about her.
“Huh. Yeah, okay. I’ll be back in a few minutes, I guess.” Claude rolled his shoulders, moving to pull his hair back in a low, messy bun.
"You're hair looks so much better down." She said softly, looking at him curiously. "Now go get that tea."
“For your information, I happen to like it in a bun! Much more manageable that way.” Claude snorted, walking back to the kitchen for the tea.
"Are you going to try and braid it too?~" She called from her room teasingly, laughing loudly. She then got up and began to clean her room a little bit, humming softly as she cleaned about.
“I know you’re trying to tease me right now, but I sleep with a braid in to prevent tangles.” Claude came back in with her tea, leaning on the doorway.
She took her cup of tea and took a sip with a satisfied smile. "It looks the best down. No wonder it's so wavy." She said with a smile.
