[She actually gets excited over the idea of a puppy, a tiny little soul to love and cherish and watch as he/she grows. The blueprints aren't as important anymore, so she lets them slide to the floor and climbs in his lap.]
[He's never really had the chance. Not like he's got close friends with young kids. The best he's got is Tendo and the Chois live on a different continent right now and they're probably smart enough to know not to leave Raleigh alone with a child because something will go wrong.]
Is it - [He's not looking at her like he's about to hit the street and run, but she still wants to ask first. Somehow.] You're the only family I've got left.
Yes? [So one kiss turns into smiling through the kiss, and then the next kiss involves a little too much enthusiastic tongue and her hands cupping his face but.]
[He's distracted from answering right away because of that enthusiastic frenching, They've been family for a while now, all the other one has left in the world, but it just feels official having said it. Like it's a promise.]
Yeah. Yes. It's not like I've spoken to my sister in like a decade anyway.
[Wow when you put it like that he sounds like a real asshole.]
I-- [he cuts himself off because even though it's Mako, he doesn't want to say that he's more or less afraid of his little sister, less in that she could kick his ass and more that she might not want anything to do with him and he'd totally deserve it.]
I did. I mean, I have a phone number. I just haven't called it.

What kind of dog?
no subject
A lab or a husky or something. I'd step on a tiny one.
no subject
no subject
Yeah? You don't want a little lap dog fuzz ball thing?
no subject
Only if it's as big and fat and slobbery as Max.
no subject
I'd sit on it at some point and smash it. It's probably better to get a bigger one.
no subject
no subject
It is how you make the tiny ones stop barking though.
no subject
I really don't want to know what your idea of babysitting is.

So, dogs. A big dog, doesn't matter if he's a puppy when we find him. One that needs a family as much as we need a dog.
no subject
We're a family?
no subject
Aren't we?
no subject
You haven't said it before, I didn't want to assume.
no subject
Is that okay?
no subject
More than okay.
no subject
no subject
Yeah. Yes. It's not like I've spoken to my sister in like a decade anyway.
no subject
What?
no subject
... you know, Jazmine. My little sister?
[Three guesses why she isn't talking to him.]
no subject
There was no mention of a Jazmine Becket.
no subject
Yeah, I know. We haven't really talked since our mom's funeral.
no subject
You have family. You have a sister, and not even after we saved the world - you didn't think to check up on her?
no subject
I-- [he cuts himself off because even though it's Mako, he doesn't want to say that he's more or less afraid of his little sister, less in that she could kick his ass and more that she might not want anything to do with him and he'd totally deserve it.]

no subject
Call it. Call her - at least.
