☆019-And how the green grows there.

It looks like I officially can't get into my own home. I knew I should have brought a machete back with me from work.

[Precise, indeed, and he chuckles a little at it.]

That's one way of doing it, sure. [He nodded toward the bedroom where Shizuko was chowing down.] Now I have to wonder, do the socks fall under the food budget or the clothing budget?

Pet food, of course. [Casually, as if he just asked her whether Earth had one moon. Silly Lyle. She walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out ingredients for chicken and corn soup that she had prepared in the morning.] Unless you want to wear it. But the socks I bought for food are usually the kind no one seemed to want to wear.

Of course. I should have known [It was hard to tell whether the matter-of-factness of the pet food budget was a sincere testament to her tendency to plan or one of her straight-faced jokes.]

I suppose I could. With the boots I wear no one would be the wiser. But I think the little guy would hold it against me if I started wearing his meals around for kicks. [He leaned forward to peer into the bedroom.] Your little roommate isn't prone to grudges, is it?

[She put water in a pan and turned on the stove, then went back to the living room.

Seriously, it's pet food budget. :|]

I don't know. [She laughed softly.] I suppose as long as you don't snatch the sock from under its nose, it wouldn't.

Hmm, best not run the risk of that. How would I ever explain to my coworkers the scars from such a run in weren't from any mishap in the Yard, but a vicious button bite? No, I think I'll leave the socks to him.

[Giggle.] Wise choice. Though if you're really so delicate that buttons can scar you, I must say it'd be quite a disappointment.

I like to think I'm made of tough enough stuff, but you never know. Things happen. It could get lucky.

[The giggle turned into a full-blown laugh. But as fun as it was to continue the banter, Stellaris hadn't forgotten her burning stove. She threw one last quip as she returned inside the kitchen.] Better not risk it and get your own socks, then.
