[Some people may take the appearance of a strange green thing floating aimlessly into their path as a threat. Especially when it happens in their own home. Snake is one of them
( Read more... )
[Volume, Liquid. Good thing Snake isn't the jumpy type. He hasn't touched it. Hasn't even made a threatening move besides pointing his gun at it. Yet.]
...
[That is, quite possibly, one of the most stupid things he's ever heard.]
That's right. I offered to take one, because he couldn't keep them and was looking for homes for them.
They're sweet things, really, when they're tame. Be nice. Just keep it out of bright lights and don't give it water. I'm feeding it myself. They're useful, too. Apparently they can heal people.
[You should know better than to expect Snake to be nice.]
Just like that, huh? Do you even know that it is?
[He lowers his weapon cautiously, but keeps it in hand as he watches the thing float merrily around the room. Far be it from him to take Liquid's word for anything.]
...Didn't think you'd need any help with that.
[The healing thing, that is. What with that new superpower of yours and all.]
I don't. To both statements. I don't know what it is, except that the man tamed a bunch of them. And I don't need the help. [He's annoyed that Snake seems to be suggesting he depends on that power.] It just might be useful, however. For you.
Regardless, I think it's a pleasant enough creature.
Not really. The cats tend to be outdoors more often than in. So really, you're just complaining about the goat and the... whatever that is. Because I'm sure you're not talking about your dog.
[He sighs, shaking his head. Really, Snake. Such a whiner.]
If it bothers you that much, I'll keep it in my room.
Brother, which would you rather? That someone innocent took it and was unable to defend themselves should it turn out to be hostile, or that it stays with someone entirely capable of defending themselves?
[Liquid is not impressed, brother. Not impressed at all.]

[Even if it can do that, Snake's trust in anything "magic" is fairly low. The old fashioned way has worked for him so far.]
I don't like it. It could be anything.
[But he can't deny that is isn't exactly causing trouble. Not yet, anyway. He exhales sharply.]
This place is a zoo.

Gonna take in anything someone offers you on the street?

Just because it looks strange, floats and hates light doesn't make it bad.

Doesn't make it not bad. Sort of reckless, don't you think?

[A beat.]
Brother, what an idiotic question.
[Liquid is ALWAYS reckless. And he knows it.]

Well, you're acting like an idiot.

[Because if you are, he's not buying it. Seriously.]
Didn't take you for the selfless type.
