♚ 003; That's nothing to what I could say if I chose.

Everybody should come and see my new cats! Ah~! I'm having quite a problem naming them, you see. I'm just terrible at names, unfortunately. Flopsy and Mopsy? Or maybe Edgar, that's quite a noble name. Oh, don't worry, I'll name one after you, too, Zuko! Enough names for all

[heartofheaven]

I'd love to see your cats. Have you picked names for them yet?

[mcshotashorts]

Perhaps I'll name one after my doting older brother. Do you have any suggestions? Any input would be wonderful, really. I don't want to see myself going down the streets calling for "Pickles" or the like.

[heartofheaven]

[Laughs] No silly names, got it. How do you like Vincent?

[mcshotashorts]

E-Eheh... Well, it's a very good name! It's just that I know someone named Vincent, and... and he didn't seem to quite like me so much, perhaps?

[heartofheaven]

Oh, sorry. Okay, um... what about Snow?

[mcshotashorts]

Oh, you didn't know! It's always nice to name a cat after people who dislike you, it builds relationships... perhaps...

Snow sounds like a good name! It reminds me of snowmen and the like! Ah~ It's too bad it won't snow soon. Or, er, maybe it will. It's hard to tell.

[heartofheaven]

Hmm, maybe that's true.

You can never really tell around here, that's for sure.

[mcshotashorts]

Do you like the weather now? It's quite pleasant, at least, but one must always be worried... But sunny weather lets you hang up the laundry!

[heartofheaven]

Yeah, the weather's really good now, and I hope it stays that way.

[mcshotashorts]

It would be terrible if it started snowing again, wouldn't it? People would catch such awful colds... and I'm not sure if there's even enough cold medicine to go around! Or if there's any medicine at all, really.

[heartofheaven]

If all we had to worry about was people catching a few colds, I don't think I'd mind.

[mcshotashorts]

... Yes, that's true.

Forgive me if I sound too intimate and small-minded, but how has your family been?

[heartofheaven]

It's okay, Oz. We've been... getting on with things.

[mcshotashorts]

I might sound indelicate, but is there something wrong?

[heartofheaven]

No, it's nothing I can't handle.

[mcshotashorts]

I'm sure you can handle it--and most well--but now I'm very concerned. Wouldn't you spare a bit of information? It might give me some peace.
