 [Urahara is chilling on the sofa reading a large book with a big goofy grin, and he's absolutely enthralled by it.]

Did you know that the term 'dinosaur' was coined in 1842 by an English palaeontologist called Richard Owen? It means 'terrible, powerful, wondrous lizard' and is derived from the Greek words deinos and sauros. And that the first

Wanted?

[trickstermentor]

Of course! It was my greatest ambition as a child to have a pet dinosaur, but they were all extinct~

[and_my_ax]

Did you want to be an astronaut too?

Or a racecar?

[trickstermentor]

Oh no, I wanted to be a ninja with a trained dinosaur.

Space travel and race cars weren't an option when I was a child~

We could get you one too, and we could race them~

[goneonenight]

You'd only get attached by the time we had to leave.

Which is why I would bring Lufeng with me, naturally~

[doopdedo, emerging from the kitchen and wandering into this here living space about now with a tray loaded with several cups of tea]

[though he only catches that last part as he approaches the sofa /o/]

A bit large for a pet, isn't that...?

[ttly offering you one of these cups, btw]

Re: [Action]

[trickstermentor]

[Ooh tea, how lovely~]

[He shifts the book, himself and the cat over on the sofa to make room for him to join him.

I am quite certain the ship is large enough to accommodate one.

[Takes a teacup with a smile of thanks, and Shaolin prowls over to have a look at the delicious tea.]

Re: [Action] dskjfh did I mention that cat is absolutely adorable 8U

I guess in the end it's a matter of where one would keep it, that's true...

[Oh why thank you~ He's just doing to settle down in that nicely provided space and set the tray down on that table in front of the sofa, before helping himself with another cup off of it.]

[He absently reaches out to pet Shaolin as she approaches, amiably enough]

Still, I'm not entirely sure what one would do with a pet like that. As a sort of...bodyguard, perhaps? [blinking thoughtfully at the picture in that textbook]

Re: [Action] she's like a baby gecko with suckers on her paws that don't quite work right

[trickstermentor]

[Shaolin butts her head against his hand and starts purring at the attention.]

It would be fascinating to see if they had the mental capacity to be trained as a bodyguard, wouldn't it? I was thinking I would ride it actually.

[He reaches out for a cup himself, and has to gently nudge Shaolin away from his tea. She's a big tea drinker, but this is a little hot for kitties.]

Why that dinosaur in particular?

[trickstermentor]

One of my teachers found the remains of one and drew a picture of it for me when I was younger. Though it seems someone else has taken the credit it for it after him.

[notasinglelady]

I see. It's not carnivore, right?

[trickstermentor]

Oh no, they suspect it was a herbivore, but I will have to go and find out for myself~

[doyuulikeme]

Heh, it looks funny!

[trickstermentor]

But also quite charming, wouldn't you agree?

[doyuulikeme]

Charming?

[trickstermentor]

You don't think so?
