[That was something Ruby could get behind herself. She's been around two to four years younger than most of her peers doing similar work, and has had to deal with the challenges that provides. She's still probably not quite as mature as she should be about it.

On the bright side, seeing and getting to play with the puppy tells her a lot more about this boy than their initial conversation might have given her. There was a softer side to him than he wanted to let on.

She'll move to follow along a little closer to his actual side this time.]

I mean- I could do that. But I think he'd end up stopping me at some point. You can't say he wouldn't miss you. And I bet you'd miss him licking your face first thing in the morning.

Yeah, whatever.

( he'd, eventually, go find the dog again. jason's bonded to him by now. but they don't need to get into that.

especially not when he's small and figuring out what the hell he's supposed to do from here. it's an inconvenience and a pain in the ass. )

Which way were you headed? Y'know, before deciding to tail along with me. ( despite his protests. )

[She is counting that one as a win, mainly because she doesn't know any better.]

Not anywhere in particular. I was mostly patrolling around, I'll probably head back to the community center soon though. It's getting kind of chilly.

[She is aware she kind of intruded on his bad mood, and that could be wearing out it's welcome.]

And hey- I just wanted to make sure you were safe and not itching for a fight or anything. If it's a big deal, I'll go.

( it's always chilly here. but he gets what she's saying, even if he almost, almost gives in to the urge to snap back at her that it's hardly any different from normal. partially because it's, well, wrong - there's the cold that leaves snow blanketing every surface, then there's the storms that leave the cold seeping deep into their bones, killing everything stupid enough not to cover up.

ruby hasn't done jack shit to piss him off, she's not responsible for this. he's just bitchy. )

Which way's the community center?

( he knows. he's just not saying he knows. )

[If she had any idea that this kid was actually the same guy as the hulking broken red helmet guy she had met before, she'd probably be watching her words a little more. But she is way more convinced that he's just a cranky newcomer, which she does understand at the very least. She just had to assert that she doesn't have to sit here and take the grouchiness either.

Still- She has to say she's a little surprised when he speaks up again, and she feels a little smile play back up on her lips.

She kind of nudges her shoulder a little further along and to the right. She can't exactly point with a puppy in her hands after all.]

Oh! Over this way. It's pretty warm and there should be some spare beds for you and pupper, too.

I mean- Unless you've got better places to be.
