[reluctantlegend]

After work Josh had come home to unwind and relax. A little light training and some video games was his normal routine after work but he was feeling a bit restless. He wasn't sure if he should do more training or video games to get rid of that feeling. Maybe he could see if anyone wanted to go hang out or at least come over.

[tooksteps]

It hadn't taken much to track down Josh's home address. Employment records and the signal on his comm were clear so she had no hesitation in walking up to the door and knocking on it, shuffling the package she had in her arms.

[reluctantlegend]

Josh was just munching on a banana when there was a knock at the door. Heading downstairs he smiled a bit when he saw who it was.

"Hey," he said, opening the door for his friend. "Come on in."

[tooksteps]

"Thank you."

She stepped into the apartment and held out the package.

"This is for you, it is a cake. I made it to thank you."

[reluctantlegend]

"Oh."

Josh took the cake, not quite sure what to say at first. It was an... odd gesture, but very thoughtful.

"Thanks," he said, brightening. "That's really cool of you."

[tooksteps]

Her head tilted as it tended to do when she was accessing information.

"The average teenage male requires, on average, three thousand calories per day. Do not use the cake to meet all of them, as it is nutritionally void. In moderation, however, it is tasty."

Her expression brightened to what could almost be considered a smile. "Like ice cream."

[reluctantlegend]

"I promise not to eat it all at once," he said, smiling even more at her sort-of-smile. It was probably the first time he had seen that expression on her.

"So what have you been up to lately?"

[tooksteps]

She remained standing where she was, but her eyes took stock of the apartment.

"I moved."

Some of the furniture was nice and in the back of her primary processing center she began searching for similar items on the internet.

"And I have a protector."

[reluctantlegend]

"Oh?" he said, setting the cake on a counter in the kitchen before gesturing for her to have a seat.

"Who is your protector?"

[tooksteps]

"His name is Bolt."

She sat primly on the edge of the sofa.

"He is an imPort."

[reluctantlegend]

"How do you know you can trust him?" Josh said. He was worried about Red and while he was glad she had a protector, he didn't want anyone taking advantage of her.

[tooksteps]

She paused, she hadn't said?

"He is a dog. So long as I treat him well, feed him, and show him... affection he will remain loyal. He is trained for protection."

[reluctantlegend]

"Wait, your protector is a dog?" he said, looking rather confused. After he thought about it a moment though, he decided that was probably not a bad choice.

"Cool, he should do a good job then."

[tooksteps]

"Yes. He is lucky, he can regain his form at will."

She tapped a foot uncertainly. "Have you ever had a pet?"

[reluctantlegend]

"Yeah, but never a dog, we moved around too much," he said.

[tooksteps]

"How do you... play with animals?"
