[Shortly after placing the kitten someplace other than on his person Link returns to the front room, shoving a half-asleep Pomeranian aside before sitting down heavily on the couch. He's positively seething.]

These animals must be contained at once. Our security deposit is likely forfeit at this point thanks to the General.

...don't remind me of that. [ Link you just negated all the puppy & kitty good vibes. Allen snuggles the ones in his lap a little to chase away the monetary gloom. ]

Forgive me if the issue is in the forefront of my mind.

[He pinches the bridge of his nose before rising back to his feet, scooping up two of the offending animals from the couch.]

We will store them in your bedroom until this problem is resolved, which had best be soon.

Do you think I don't care about money? [ a bit snippy. Do you want him to have a debt freakout moment, Link? Do you? ]

Well it's not like the damage to my room could get worse. [ he looks down at the two in his lap though. ]

But they're asleep.

[He pauses at the door, glancing over his shoulder at the sharp tone.]

...We will sort it out.

[There's an apology mixed in his tone as he deposits the two he's grabbed into Allen's room, pulling the door shut before going to retrieve more. His eyebrow raises at the two curled up on the Exorcist.]

They will sleep again soon enough. Come along.

[ not moving, sorry. He's too busy petting the puppy. ]

They just fell asleep.

[Link stares at him for a long moment.

He can read you like a book, Allen.]

We are not keeping them.

I didn't say we were! [ petpet ;; ]

It's just...he looks like the dog Mana had.

[Link again gives pause, staring at him in silence. His gaze falls to the dog asleep in Allen's lap, lips pursed together.]

...I was not aware that Mana Walker had a dog.

[After a moment he sits down - on the floor beside Allen rather than his preferred spot on the couch - and lets out a breath. There are some fights he knows he can't win. There are others he doesn't even want to, even if he refuses to admit that to himself.]

[ well...he can't say he didn't know it'd have this effect on Link.

But Mana has been on his mind all month, even more so than he usually is anyways. It feels good to talk about him. ]

He was part of Mana's act. He was a good dog.

I am sure that he was.

[He's relieved to hear Allen talk about Mana; he's known what's been on his mind this whole time but has done his best not to press him. After a moment he reaches out, gently rubbing the sleeping puppy's head.

His eyes move briefly to the clock on the wall, then back down.]

Walking him will be your responsibility. And I will not tolerate mess.

[ a little laugh, he considers saying that wasn't why he'd told Link but well, what's done is done. ]

Thanks, Link.

[ he scratches behind the puppy's ears lightly. ]

...can we keep the cat too?

[ Link gives him a flat look. Now he's pushing it. ]

One destructive creature is quite enough, I believe.

But doesn't it remind you of Tim! [ twitchy kitten leg is kicking the puppy. ]

And they look so happy together.

[ Allen receives a long, hard stare. Seriously, Walker. You're going to keep pushing this. His eyes dart down to the two animals curled up in Allen's lap... before he lets out a noise of utter frustration, throwing up his hands. ]

Do as you like, but if any of my reports are damaged again I will personally have them both returned to the pound!!

[ He stands abruptly, moving into the kitchen in a bit of a huff to make them some tea. ]

[ he will wait for you to come back, smiling all the while. actually he's smiling so much it's a little bit...weird, considering how his mood has been all month. ]

What should we name them?
