002 - {action}
[Around Locke city it's probably normal to see people walking around the park with their dog in tow or playing a friendly and probably adorable game of fetch. Thus, Rei probably stands out a bit as she strolls leisurely through the park with a white rabbit on a harness. She gets to the less populated side of the park which only makes her stand out even more. The rabbit happily chews on grass intermittently as it leads Rei around to wherever it's little rabbit heart desires. Anyone who sees her around the public highschool from time to time will notice that she is much more lively around this rabbit than she ever acts at school. Not to say that she is some sort of animal whisperer because it's painfully obvious that this rabbit is the one running the show and not Rei. It'll start hopping as fast as it can in one direction and Rei will have to chase along to keep it from wiggling out of the harness or hurting itself. This happens over and over as the rabbit does as it likes and Rei is powerless against its iron will.
You'll probably find her occasionally talking to the rabbit, laughing at it, reprimanding it for getting too close to the street, or or once again being forced to run next to it. Really, you couldn't ask for a better conversation starter.]

It would be cruel to keep him in a cage until he dies.
Dogs can be walked, so can rabbits.
. . .
Are you drawing Santa Claus.

[Rei bends down and picks up the rabbit, holding him so his legs kind of dangle and kick around idly in the air.]
This is Santa Claus.
when i was six i had a rabbit named snow white
[Avery takes a second to process that.] Yes. Yes I am drawing your rabbit. Who is apparently named Santa. That's definitely a thing that just happened.
no subject
I was eight.
[Rei gains a small smile on her face.]
I like the picture though. You must be v--Ow! [She's cut off mid sentence as Santa Claus finds the need to sink his teeth into Rei's finger. She quickly lets him down where he then hops around in a small circle.]
Shitshitshit... [Rei's finger has now started to bleed quite a fair bit, and she quickly takes a tissue out of her shorts pocket to wrap around the wound. She looks more annoyed than worried about the amount of blood gushing out of her finger.]
no subject
[She has no fucking clue what to do in this situation. Help...]
no subject
He does this to me all the time, sorry...[She keeps her hand squeezed around her bleeding finger, holding the leash under her arm.]
The flamethrower wielding may not be as inaccurate as you think. [Rei's sad attempt at a joke.]
no subject
Do you need help with that or something? Like, there's a drug store down a few blocks from here.
no subject
God knows what's been in his mouth today...
no subject
Avery wrinkles her nose a little but tries not to be super duper rude and is merely just a bit rude, about on par with her average level of rudeness.]
Welp.
Come on then. [She stands up, jamming her sketchbook in her messenger bag and throwing it over her shoulder.] I'll walk you there.
no subject
You aren't the one that bit me, either.
no subject
[She takes a few steps in the right direction anyway, despite the seemingly agreeable tone of her words.] But I bet you anything I know where it is better'n you do.
[Pause.]
I also know that rabbits aren't allowed inside drugstores.
no subject
Thanks. [Slouches her shoulders. Yes she's awkward and there's not much she can do about it. Sorry.]
no subject
[And proving how totally not awkward about it, she proceeds to... not make conversation at all.]
no subject
I don't want him to bite you too, so I'll hold him out here.
[Handing the money over to Avery.]
You can keep whatever's left when you're done.
no subject
I'm not keeping your money. [She does take the bill though and slouches inside. Only a few minutes later she slouches back out with a box of dinosaur bandaids and a tiny tube of antiseptic.] Good news, [she informs her glibly,] antibiotic ointment is fucking expensive.
[And so, there's only like seventy-five cents and a dollar in the crumpled receipt when she holds her hand out to return the change to its original keeper.]
no subject
It's my brother's money anyway. [rei you bitch.]
[Tucking Santa's leash under her arm, she takes all of the supplies provided by Avery and begins applying everything right then and there.]
I appreciate it, though. [Dabs the ointment onto the bite and then busts open the box of dino bandaids. Interestingly, she digs through it for a while until she finds a pterodactyl. Apparently its the only dinosaur she deems suitable for wound dressing.]
Perfect. [Don't look at her like you don't have a favorite dino too.]
no subject
Too late now.
[She watches the process passively, inspecting the bandaged wound. Shit looks ship-shape from her end. When Rei is done, Avery gives her a thumbs up.]
