[ It's hard to tell where Grid is, since she's curled into a tiny, miserable ball and her bulk fills most of the screen. Her hissing is a little quieter than normal, given that she's still pretty subdued from her earlier misadventures on the network. ]

Oh, Grid. I'm sorry...

[ABLOO.]

Nice sounds? What do you mean?

I have music a friend left with me.

is good. like it.

[notyourchauffer]

Yeah? I have a lot of music like that, if you'd like it. I can copy it for you and teach you how to play which songs you want.

[dismembers]

[ She perks right up at that, bobbling her head in what might be an attempt at a nod. ]

yes. want that. want to know how to make the sounds.

[notyourchauffer]

Alright then. Get on over here like I asked and we'll do that.

[dismembers]

[notyourchauffer]

[ Oh. Slightly apprehensive about that--Thane called her something (unintentionally) unpleasant way back in the day, and Grid never forgets and rarely forgives.

Still, she wants her music, and to roll all over her bff, so she slinks in a few minutes later. ]

[And he greets her with allll the pets.]

Good to see you. Had a bad day, huh? We'll fix that.

[dismembers]

[ Grid mashes her face into him, making all manner of tiny sad 'pity me' noises. Of course the fact she's had bad day is all her fault, but she's not going to bring that up. ]

yes, fix it.

[He just laughs and scratches under her chin before leading her inside.]

Come on, you little turbopuppy. Eat something.

[And look at that. There's a plate of raw meat just waiting for her. HE EVEN CHOPPED IT UP.]
