Conversations With Pippy Gonzalez
Pippy: *has seen the ginger cat* Meow. *scratches at door*
Dragons: No, you may not go outside and thump the orange cat.
Pippy: *scratches frantically* Meow!
Dragons: Nice. I like your inflection there. Still no.
Pippy: MEOW.
Dragons: 'Kay, listen up. Here's the deal. You can't SEE the orange cat, CLEARLY get outraged, and then ask to be let out.
Pippy: Meow.
Dragons: Because I have a duty of care, you little arse monkey. If I let you out, and you HAPPEN to come across the orange cat in the front yard and you HAPPEN to biff him in the nose, then I can live with that. Because that is just life. Shit happens. But you can't repeatedly throw yourself against the window shouting "BRING IT!" and then apply for a hall pass. I have your number, Gonzalez. Stand down.
Pippy: Meow. *stalks off down hallway*
Dragons: Sorry, Pippy. Try stealthy next time.
