Is that one you recognize?

H-hey! I--that cat it not a pet, you know!

[He isn’t thrilled with that but at least he does remember something. ]

It isn’t? But, it is so cute and I did look it up. Animals like that really are very common pets here. Maybe that cat already has a home, but one like it might be to Lantis’s liking.

[She makes an irritated sigh, but in this case--she can't accuse him of being a total idiot.
As for the cat, well--Rita thinks it's an embarrassing topic!]
Then find a different one if you really want one so badly.

[Eagle still considers this difficult though. So many things he can’t remember… like if he even wanted a pet. He only knows Lantis likes animals and they had a conversation about a pet once. ]
I was only using that cute cat as an example. Maybe an animal like that would be something Lantis would like? I think I would be fine with any kind of pet as long as Lantis liked it.

...For how long? Do you remember that?
[As for the pet-]
Then instead of wondering, just go ask him. It's not that hard.
Reply
[A month… but Eagle is clueless about it. For all he knows this will last forever. ]
I was trying to ask him, but I must have forgotten something… or sent the message to you instead?
[Filter fail. ]
Not that I mind. It isn’t that private.

Huh? Oh... [She was actually so distracted by the picture of herself that she forgot. At least it means Eagle should get some kind of answer from the guy.] I think you just told everyone on the network.
Reply
[Or, that it would be a more effective punishment that way. ]
I wasn’t intending to. [A beat.] But since I have, which one do you think makes a better pet? Maybe I should just get one and surprise him with it later?
[Might as well ask for a little relationship advice while he is at it. ]
Reply
[And Rita...has no idea that what Eagle wants is relationship advice!] Huh? Well, I like cats. But if he doesn't want it, you'll be the one stuck looking after it.
Reply
[It is subtle relationship advice. Its not as if he is asking if it should be flowers or candy. ^,^]
I don’t think he would ever turn an animal down, so I doubt I would end up ‘stuck’ with it. I am just not exactly sure what the best animal would be. Maybe I should even look into a bird of some kind. He does really like birds.

[Since she doesn't blame Eagle for killing those people, but rather the City for causing the curse in the first place. For Eagle to have to pay for it...It's frustrating.
And it's probably a good thing it's subtle advice! Although Rita might also happily recommend sweets.]
Birds are everywhere. There's nothing really special about them. [Nevermind that someone could say the same about cats.]

Eagle kind of feels like he deserves this though for causing so much trouble…
*eyes him* ]
I hurt those people, so this feels like a fitting punishment. Even better they will be able to continue their lives again. I think that is really the most important part.
[Sweets would totally work for Eagle! Lantis is a little more difficult to shop for, since he doesn’t react enthusiastically to much anything. ]
Birds are everywhere, that’s true. Lantis can call them down out of the trees and even hand feed the wild ones.
[Are you tired of hearing about Lantis yet? Sorry, Eagle is gushing a little. ]
So, of all the animals out there you recommend a cat the most? Thank you, Ms. I will definitely keep your recommendation in mind.
Reply
...Fine, whatever. Just forget it. [--Oh, stupid choice of words there.
She listens to that gushing about Lantis with an impassive look; she's not annoyed, but she's not interested, either.]
Sure, I mean...I just happen to think they're less of a pain.
And just call me Rita, okay? Rita Mordio.
Reply
Less of a pain… That sounds nice. I know he could get along with anything but I could use something that was easy to care for.
It is nice to meet you Rita. [Again. ^,^ ]
