[ she has nothing to say about pleasant moments outweighing the unpleasant. she hopes as much. doesn't allow herself to have expectations, not for herself, or anyone else. ]
It's not something I complain about. Why would he? It's not anything important for life here.
[ besides, she's not a big drinker, it's more that watered down ale is familiar and sometimes that's what's missed ]

[ Annie only learns Rex had found his ball again when she turns back toward Kanaya, catching the expression on her face while Rex sits, expectant, tail swishing across the wood floor. It's not much of a tail. He's still not much of a dog. Time will fix one, but his tail will never be his most impressive feature.
That'll probably be his eyes. ]
Things like that happen almost everywhere.
[ Quality control over everything. Even the most watchful eyes can miss the details they should be absorbing. ]

You Do Sure Seem Interested In Birthdays

His time is his to do as he likes... if he's not in danger, or putting himself there, then it's fine. I'll be paying more attention now, but it hadn't been necessary at the time.
Hardly.
[ they argue too so ]

Don't pout. If something happens to me, I'll get over it. This is my mess, Kanaya. It's my job to put and end to it.
[That's that. She doesn't want to fight on this. She won't fight on it. ]
But you can help me, if you can help me find Spider-Man's civilian identity.

You may get over it, but I won't! What messes you're in are intrinsically mine as well, that's the whole point. No trouble you face is done alone.
[ sorry rose, but with something this big, there's no way it won't be a fight. ]
Spider-Man's a dead end, anyway. Space just doesn't...react to him the way it should, and I've had difficulty tracing him.
And how would knowing his identity benefit us? [ not you, us. ] He isn't the threat, Hobgoblin is. He is the one we should be hunting.

Theres Only One Other Member Of My Race Here
And Long Ago We Realized That We Cant Let It Simply Be About The Hardships Our Situation And History Has Afforded Us
While Friends Cannot Simply Be Pleasant Company
That Relationship Needs More Than Just A Shared Confidence To Flourish
You Need Both
You Need To Hang Out And Talk Nonsense And Tease Each Other
You Need The Light Along With The Heavy
Either Way What I Mean To Say Is I Also Work In A Bar If You Ever Need A Drink

[ his eyes are already overpowering, keeping kanaya distracted, hard to focus on her work. this kills the kanaya. she turns in her chair and kicks the ball into the other room, and he darts off after it like a bolt of lightning. ]
It does. Quality control is meant to add human scrutiny to the process, but obviously nothing is ever going to be completely perfect.
If you had the receipt, you could have it exchanged, but this is probably less hassle.
[ and she may not have purchased it to begin with. but receipts are becoming a recurring theme with them. remember that, annie. you should always save the receipts. ]

I'm well aware of how I conduct myself publicly.
If you don't approve, then I'll consider that I'm doing an A+ job with it.

No... that's not something I do.
[ in general, or with anyone, so... the teasing, that kind of happens. she can probably manage that with reiner. mostly. talking nonsense... er. she's been bad about that.
she's generally just bad at talking altogether. ]
Good to know about the bar. Thank you.

Good to know about the bar. Thank you.
[ she's dearly learning how important receipts are simply by listening to what you can't do easily without one. then again, for the things she's purchased, she's not so concerned about returns - they've been fine. ]
Thundercracker or Bumblebee would have the receipt, if either of them bothered keeping it.
[ Rex comes thundering back, slipping on the wood floor and ending up spinning out, turning a circle on his belly with the ball still stubbornly clutched in his jaws. ]
... Thank you for assisting anyway.
[ scrabbling back up, Rex makes his tail wagging way straight back to Kanaya. he doesn't drop the ball... he's not that good at this part quite yet. ]

[ it could be the real lesson is that annie should never let anyone else buy things without her present. but kanaya knows the ball won't buy her much time, and tries to do as much stitching as she can before he's back.
she flashes a grin at annie. ] You gave me an excuse, not assisting simply didn't strike me as a worthwhile option.
[ and there's rex again, but she's only half done with how reinforced the stitching on these harnesses gets. she can't really do much while he's still holding the ball.
she shakes her head at him, trying very hard not to smile, and not quite getting there. ]

Just Let Me Know Whenever Youre Considering It So I Can Be Sure Everythings Taken Care Of
We Just Hired A Proper Bartender So I Might Spend Less Time On That Task
[ she hasn't worked with desmond enough yet, can't say how closely he'll be inclined to stick to strict legality. the flexibility was one of the things that caught her attention in the nest. ]
Also I Probably Dont Need To Make Explicit That I Think It Would Be Worth Making The Effort
Both For Your Sake And For Reiners

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.

[ annie shakes her head, exhaling sharp enough to be audible. ]
If you want to see Rex in the future... just say so. I'll still be walking him for Thundercracker down in Heropa even when he's back in town.
[ and in the future she doesn't see, she'll be doing the same for Bumblebee. in the end, even the things that change only change so much before falling back into a pattern of sameness. habit is difficult to break. she watches Rex, watching Kanaya, wagging his tail when he does eventually deposit the slobbery ball next to her foot. He bows down, rear in the air, paws stretched forward to almost touch her toes. Classic play posture, and accompanied by a huff of air and big, pleading eyes.
be game. be game, new person. ]

You think I can't escape a hired diversion? You know better than that, Rose. I don't need to be protected, and I may be our best chance at finding out who we're dealing with.
So unless you've Seen something that concretely demands my non-involvement, we should more seriously consider it a plausible action.

[ kanaya lets out a whimper at him, such a small, cute, and demanding thing. she'd probably reach down to scratch his butt if her hands weren't preoccupied, and possibly be gnawed on for her trouble.
instead, she kicks the ball again, weakly. the heart is willing, but alas. it doesn't even cross the doorway before he prances upon it and brings it back to her. ]
I would be...very amenable to that. I doubt he'd mind, either. He's very fond of the attention.
