[ The video starts black. Light cuts through in sharp lines, edging in around blades of grass. No, make that fur.

Fur that gains color into browns as it shifts away from blocking the camera's eye. The rabbit hops away down the table, disappearing for a minute. Two. When it comes back in view, it appears to be wearing tiny, lens-free glasses perched precariously on its twitching nose.

The rabbit sits back on its hind legs, ears swiveling forward and paws tucking close to its chest. When it glances toward the camera, it's almost like the rabbit winks. But it couldn't have.

Could it? ]

I don't think that makes any sense at all, Franziska.

[perfectionisms]

... You'll understand when you're older.

[whatsupcroc]

I don't think getting older is going to make those two things be any more similar to each other!

[perfectionisms]

[ Franziska reacts like a mature adult would... by throwing another pillow at Collette. ]

[whatsupcroc]

( Collette catches it -- partly with her face. She's laughing again, feeling definitively like she's won. )

Real mature, Franziska! Haha, I like you better this way.

( Lobbing that pillow right back FOR REASONS! )

[perfectionisms]

[ She smiles proudly, because yes, she is really mature and she's glad Collette acknowledges that. ]

And I prefer dogs over rabbits.

[ catching that pillow ]

For future reference.

First dog morph I get, I'll trot along your way.

( She smiles. )

It's a promise!

[perfectionisms]

And the first thing I'll do would be to take you to a veterinarian to get all of your shots.

[ She smirks. ]

You can be sure of that.

[whatsupcroc]

Wow, you really want a pet dog, don't you?

[perfectionisms]

Papa wouldn't allow it. And I already have my hands full with Miles.

[whatsupcroc]

Luckily he's already house-trained, so you'll have time to deal with a whole new puppy dog.

[perfectionisms]

He better be. I'm often busy with work. I won't be able to look after it full-time.

[whatsupcroc]

It does take a family to raise a puppy. Like it takes a village to raise a child!

( those aren't equivalent... )

[perfectionisms]

And a miracle to raise Miles.

[whatsupcroc]

( She can't help but giggle. )

Thank goodness he had you, huh?

[perfectionisms]

Thank goodness indeed.
