[Bold is screaming over the network but this is something that warrants screaming okay]

HE GOT US A PUPPY! [Bold is holding up an excited doberman puppy that seems intent on licking her face off. She doesn't seem to mind though, grinning and holding the puppy in her lap, laughing brightly as she presses kisses over the puppy's face (the dog doesn'

[ow, his ears.]

My, don't you look happy.

[video]

[wiredgod]

[Her smiles turns a little sheepish] I am. Even though I should have expected something, I...

[She shakes her head. It's still a surprise. The puppy barks and rolls over on its back again and Lain scratches his tummy with a content smile] It's not something I'm used to.

[She hesitates, because Sara doesn't. usually initiate contact with her, and yeeaahh she still remembers what Evil did.] How are you?

[video]

[lavenderglasses]

[what evil did caused problems with sasuke. right now, that makes you a wonderful person.]

That's alright. I'm sure he's happy just to have made you so happy. And I'm fine, since you asked.

[video]

[wiredgod]

[Well. That's...good?? Lain nods lightly, taking in the words] I hope so. I hope he likes my gifts too then.

Ah, that's good. [She's a little hesitant, and gives a hopeful sort of smile] I baked extra Christmas cookies. If you want some. I can send them over a little later...

[Because gift-giving is important and she's made way too many cookies and not enough people to shove them onto. And he's being nice to her so that. means he gets cookies or something.]

...Hey, why didn't I get one of those? [teasing, obviously, and only semi-directed to Gai off-screen]

[spandexisyouth]

...I already got you a puppy.

Video

[grab_my_bells]

But not a 'Christmas' puppy. Kyomei was a 'better than flowers' puppy.

[spandexisyouth]

...Perhaps after the new year we can see about getting another. Together.

[Just quirking an eyebrow and working on his small collection of gifts]

I went through enough trouble to get you that, and it's certainly an interactive gift I'm sure you'll get plenty of enjoyment out of if you're current behavior is any indication..

[wiredgod]

[Lain cuts in before Bold can complain, picking up the puppy in her arms and cradling him like he's a more squirmy baby doll and makes her way over to sit next to him. The puppy goes on her lap]

It's the best thing I've ever gotten, Neji. [She sits up on her knees a moment to kiss his cheek, before settling back down to play with the puppy]

Does he have a name?

[heavenly_earth]

[He smiles a little, relieved that she likes it, had even wondered if she would prefer a cat or dog. To the question, he shakes his head]

No- it's yours, so I left naming it to you.

[wiredgod]

[Her brow furrows and she looks down at the puppy with a look of utmost seriousness on her face, like she just accepted a grave mission.

Her and Bold talk, in their mind, and after a long moment, Lain sighs] Bold and I can't agree on a name.

I want to name him Bike... [it's pronounced more like "bick"] She wants to name him something 'cooler.'

[video] //crushes hiatus for this

[underspinning]

[ At first she was going to insult Lain and her ability to properly care for a puppy, but, after seeing how she never received any sort of gift in her life, she scrapped the plans at the last moment to congratulate Lain.

She'll pet the dog, not kick it. ;w; ]

Hmph. It's nice to see you got something you finally deserve, Bold and Lain. You two do know that taking care of a puppy is a lot of responsibility, right? [ if she catches Neji picking up dog shit there will be HELL TO PAY |:

aka angry angry words from a very stern papa Tenten. or whatever relation she is to Lain. ]

[video]

[wiredgod]

I know. [Lain frowns somewhat] But it's also Neji's dog, so he can help us. And Kakashi-san has a lot of dogs, right? He can help us too, right...?

[video]

[underspinning]

Well, of course they'll be able to help. [ She frowns lightly to match Lain's expression as she nods. ] Kakashi-sensei and Neji would do a very good job of helping you guys. Still, I got you something as well, Lain. And something for Bold too. Do you want me to drop it off sometime sooner or later?

[video]

[wiredgod]

[She nods lightly, but the admission of her getting them something makes her start in surprise.]

You did? But-- [She stops and smiles, giving in. It's no use arguing] Whenever is best for you. I think I'll be home all day.

[r_a_m_1982]

[Awww Lain...Ram's used to Bold being...bold, by now.]

It's really cute, I'm glad you two are so happy.

[wiredgod]

Mm! [Lain smiles brightly] Merry Christmas, Ram!

Bold and I have gifts for you too--We'll drop them off later!

[r_a_m_1982]

Merry Christmas to you too. What are you going to name the dog?

I have presents to give you as well.

[oh god yes, the wire-bracelet. ]

[wiredgod]

I'm not sure yet. Bold and I can't decide on one we like... He might just end up with two names depending on who's in control.

[The admission makes Lain start, staring at him in surprise] You do? ['Why' her face seems to be saying, bewildered.

Shh you'll like it.]
