[Amaterasu's currently enjoying the park and watching the kids play. Seems like her pups and the alien children get along fine... it has them distracted enough for her to work on the lesson plans for her College lectures. Maybe she should do a lesson on constellations and astrology...]

[She blinks at the tap and looks up.]

Oh, hello.

[tumetiens]

[He takes a step to the back when she turns, giving her some space so that she doesn't bump into him-- that'd be awkward, and first encounters, in his opinion, should only be awkward if it's a chance of fate.

He glances at her, and then her lesson plans, and then gives her a cant of the head accompanied by a friendly curl of the lips.]

I hope I haven't interrupted anything, mademoiselle.

[motherofthesun]

Oh, not really. I'm almost done and the children are still playing.

[Her ears flick. Mademoiselle hm? She slips the papers into her sleeve, putting them out of mind. It was rude to work when there was company.]

[tumetiens]

[He hadn't had anything in mind when he'd talked to her-- she'd just caught his eye, and so there's a polite break in conversation as he just looks at her, all smiles. But a moment later, he makes his way next to her, motioning towards the adjacent seat.]

May I?

[He's not entirely without tact, after all, but he glances at the so-called 'children'... they all look like aliens and puppies to him, hmm.]

Do you like animals?

[motherofthesun]

You may.

[Children are children to her, but if you want to call them animals]

I do. What about yourself?

[tumetiens]

Animals? Ah, they've never been my forté, but I like them well enough.

[A pause as he watches the kids playing.]

I've ridden, and I've kept cats before. Dogs less frequently.

[motherofthesun]

I see. I have a number of animals staying with me, but I get along best with dogs.

[Here comes one now, but it looks more like an adolescent wolf.]

Ah...

[tumetiens]

[He's never been too close to a wolf before, so France looks mildly impressed, unsure as to whether or not he should reach out to pet it or something...]

A dog person, are you? And wolves, too...

[motherofthesun]

You could say that.

[The black wolf wags its tail and somewhat glances over at France. Who has the attention now?] Be nice, Hayabusa.

[tumetiens]

Is his name Hayabusa?

[He figures that it's harmless, since she seems so comfortable with it-- and he reaches out to touch the wolf, feeling a bit daring as he does so.]

I've never been this close to a wolf before, I have to admit.

[motherofthesun]

Well, he's only part wolf, but he's a good boy.

[She continues petting Hayabusa. The black wolf looks at France, but Mama said to be nice... fiiine. As long as she keeps scratching him behind the ears like that...]

[tumetiens]

[And as he pets Hayabusa, he flashes Amaterasu one of his looks, punctuated by a wink.]

Well, they do say that those with gentle and beautiful hearts are well-liked by animals.

[motherofthesun]

[She smiles]

Maybe, but I am his mother too. [Her ears flick]

[tumetiens]

[It seems like he's JUST noticed the ears, and he looks a little surprised before he remembers that...

...yeah, he's on a spaceship, there are all kinds here. He doesn't want to be rude.]

Ah...right! Adopted, is he?

[motherofthesun]

Yes, he is.

[She continues scratching Hayabusa behind the ear. She pauses after a moment though, and for good reason. Hayabusa begins to scratch his neck with his hind leg.]

[tumetiens]

[He just watches, chin in hand and eyes slightly narrowed in a kind of satisfaction.]

This would be quite a picture, if I had a camera.
