Carnivore petting zoo

[awedprowess]

Since riding alpacas is fortuitously impossible, it appears the only other option for desirable entertainment for our entire party is a petting zoo.

Tezuka, could you really think of no other option? I am sure Kabaji could have joined us at the opera house.

It appears the only petting zoo close to Buenos Aires is one in which you must manhandle lions. While I appreciate not being inundated with bunny rabbits, I shall be no less irritated if a tiger eats my clothing. Kabaji, please do remember that the large carnivorous cats are not merely overgrown kittens. Regardless of the safety regulations of this establishment, I do not wish you to pick one up. Do you understand?

(ooc: Tezuka & Atobe had a text message conversation in which Tezuka suggested a petting zoo instead of his previous suggestion of an alpaca ride. Somewhat alarmingly, I did not make up the petting zoo in Buenos Aires that allows you to ride lions.)

I know you do, which is why I succumbed to the petting zoo concept.

You told me such fears were my own fault.

[seriousaura]

The wording of that makes me feel it was quite a painful decision to make.

Which is accurate. That doesn't make it any less curious.

[awedprowess]

The jury is out on this until I review the condition of my clothing after our return. And my limbs.

You talk as if I never listen to your words, Tezuka. Quite ridiculous.

[seriousaura]

You are overreacting.

Sometimes I do wonder.

[awedprowess]

I did concede to go.

I cannot imagine why. We are perfectly in-sync.

[seriousaura]

Practically begrudgingly.

There is no such thing as perfect.

[awedprowess]

Nevertheless.

Regardless, the proximity we achieve is almost painful.

[seriousaura]

Aa.

I believe the teenage medical term for that is clingy.

[awedprowess]

Proximity to perfection, Tezuka, not to one another. Finding you these days is a trying task.

[seriousaura]

How is it that hard? I was in a bookstore.

[awedprowess]

From within which your vocabulary becomes as limited as Sanada's. It is hardly quality time.

[seriousaura]

What an interesting observation. He can be quite the conversationalist.

By the way, I found something for you. It is one of my suitcases. When I start sorting through them in a few minutes, I'll bring it to you.

[awedprowess]

I await with anticipation. Is it a set of animal-proof clothing?

[seriousaura]

Why would I ever get you such a thing?

[awedprowess]

Tezuka, that comment could almost sound provocative.

[seriousaura]

It doesn't. I have no desire to buy you clothing when you have amassed more cloth than some drapery stores.

[awedprowess]

It looks far better on me than in a drapery store. Or indeed in some creature's mouth.

[seriousaura]

Nonetheless, it isn't clothing.

[awedprowess]

Do you mean me to guess? Or will you eventually reveal yourself before me?

[seriousaura]

I think I've located the bag in which it was placed. I should be there within the hour.

[awedprowess]

Good.
