Odd Duck, Alcove A1, Noonish

[withoutverona]

Romeo lay on his bunk, staring at the ceiling as he contemplated what had happened the day before.

It was sudden, and probably Yurika and Rikku were right that it was a bad idea. But he could not deny he had meant what he had asked, even as some tiny part of him was grateful to be turned down. He just hoped it would not come at the cost of Yurika's life, or what freedom she had.

He was not, however, grateful the whole mess had made radio, and hoped Yurika had forgotten to listen.

[OOC: For one then two, please. And is this icon not crazy hot, even if he is too old in it?]

Hey, when did he get so tall?

Yurika nosed at his hand for a moment before looking up at him forlornly. Hi? Hi. Hey, why aren't you petting me?

Um.

"Rikku!" he called again at her departing back. "Yurika is ..." He would save it for later; now he had a bunny.

Who, apparently wanted him to stroke her, so he ran a hand down her furry rabbit back. She felt, strangely enough, precisely like a rabbit.

"Hello, love," he whispered. "Next time we should listen to our instincts about the cabins."

"It's okay, honest, I didn't see anything," Rikku said, opening the door and then -- shutting it again, without leaving. Cat! Right. She walked to Romeo's alcove and peered in, eyes squeezed shut. "I have your cat?"

She braved cracking one, and ... okay, that wasn't what she expected to see. So she opened both to take in the scene.

"You ... got a bunny?"

Pettings! Yurika wriggled her nose happily at the new person. Hi! She looked nice...Yurika wouldn't mind getting pettings from her, too!

Romeo gently scooped Yurika the rabbit into his arms, where she twitched happily "I have a Dojima," he told Rikku, still rather scarlet. "Would you .... like to meet her?"

And, possibly, if she held the rabbit, he could get a shirt on. That would be nice, too.

Rikku set Alea down on the bed, reaching for ... Dojima. The bunny. Right!

"Hi, there," she said, scritching her adorable little bunny ears. "So, uh, from now on? I'll knock."

She promised.
