He smiled nostalgically, the girl reminding him of himself when younger "want to pet the dog? I promise we won't bite. I also have a cat. Her names Ridly." At the sound of her name, the cat came out from her hiding spot under her bed and meaowed up at Lucas and Aspen
Aspen laughed quietly at the sound of the cat "She is very cute." she said
Ridly came up to Aspen and rubbed up against her leg with a meow "yeah, she's a charmer." He shook his head at the cat and sat in the middle of the hallway, earning him some weird glances. Ridly sat in his lap and nuzzled his arm "and needy."
"so,– uhm– what d-do you do i-in your spare t-time." she asked quietly
He glanced up at her and sighed "I like to read, walk outside, play Kirby on the Switch in the game room and mostly draw, how about you?"
"I'm –uh– an I-insomniac s-so I stay up a-and write." She explained
He smiled "writing about what, if you don't mind sharing." He nudged Ridley's head with a gentle hand as he listened "maybe you could help me with writing."
"Anything. I-I'm writing a-a story about a s-space e-exploration c-crrew. I can-can maybe a-assist you in w-riting." She said, fiddling with her fingers.
He nodded that sound really cool. So you like space and stars too huh?" He asked with a smile
"M-more like it-the c-concept out-of the unknown. " she said, sitting cross-legged on the bed
He smiled and looked at the girl in admiration "exactly my thoughts. I'll be right back. Comet do you mind staying with her while I find something?"
Comet barked and laid at her feet, waiting
Lucas rummaged through his things until he found the book. he glanced at the poster with a sad smile, taking it with him last minute. "Alright. I don't know if this'll help but it's all my stuff on Astronomy and the stars. Think you can draw inspiration from any of this?"
Aspen lit up "t-this is a-amazing!" She said taking the book and flipping through
He smiled "I'll take that as a yes." He sat on the ground next to comet and flipped through a book
(We need some action)
(Yas I'm down for it,)
(What kind?)
(I was thinking of having Lucas have a medical attach from all the treatments he'd been getting. Something along those lines maybe?)
(Sure, maybe the two of them, bailey and Lucas find each other?)
(aw that's be adorable!)
(Yee)
(Yay your turn to answer)
Aspen read the book cover to cover twice before looking up and realizing that the sin had gone down and it was almost time for dinner. She stood up and stretched before getting a sip of water.
Lucas had fallen asleep on the floor, clutching a book. His head rested on Comet and his other arm was on Ridley's back.
