'Course. Worked with 'em all the time back home.

[He waves back, cheerfully, despite the fact that he's currently waving a piece of himself around in front of a wolf. He also, uh, neglects to mention that working with animals, back home, meant that he watched the Snowdin Canine Unit run patrols pretty much all the time.

Literally. They had paying jobs and everything.]

[wendigoner]

Really? That's so cool. [ Hannah smiles genially, scratching Wolfie, too. Who could resist that face? ] My family was always too busy and all over the place to have a pet... but, um, I managed to get one here! Did you see those... weird rabbit-things? The ones that showed up a month or two ago?

[skelebro]

The nugs? Yeah, my roomie ended up with one.

[Good ol' Mandelbub.]

One of those fox things just kinda stuck with me, so we got two pets now. Who'da figured, right?

[wendigoner]

Nugs. Right. [ One of the people from that 'world' had told her that. ] They're neat. We don't really have them where I'm from.

[ Though, maybe they just live on other continent and are just really rare. There're some bizarre animals in the world, right? ]

Oh, a fennec? Aww! They're so cute... you're lucky.

[skelebro]

Guess my jacket's a comfy place for a fox to nap.

[He can respect that, frankly. Didn't so much pick the pet as the pet picked him instead. He figured maybe he should'a brought him (heh, or "Brot" him), but he's got no clue how old Wolfie would react.]

Should really take him out for more walks around. Foxes are kinda like...dogs, right?

[wendigoner]

Make sure it gets air and stuff, though!

[ why would you keep a fox in a jacket, bro ]

I... think so. Probably more wild, obviously. I'd make sure you don't leave out anything that can't get chewed on. [ beat ] Sometimes, we'd find little wolverines in our family lodge, and those things were nothing like dogs.

[ As one would expect. ]

[skelebro]

[He don't keep him there. Just kinda...lets him do his own thing, more or less. Fella's not really all that picky, and that's a personality trait Sans can respect.]

Wolverines, huh?

[Can't say he's got much experience with those kinds of things. Not like he's got a lotta experience with foxes either - canid they may be, they ain't really much like the Canine Unit back home.]

What're those like?

[wendigoner]

Um... [ And she laughs a little, shaking her head. ] Not like pets. They're wild animals, so they're... kind of snarl-y and vicious.

[ The babies can be easily shooed out of the house, though. ]

It hasn't ever been a big problem, but it's totally scary if they're just in your cabinets or something and they jump out at you.

[skelebro]

[Ah, gee. That prompts a faint chuckle, Sans shakin' his skull at the mental image of it. Guess the Underground was lucky enough not to have pests and the like buried down there with 'em, huh?]

Not what you'd call family-friendly entertainment. Yikes.

Good thing foxes're friendly. Or, uh...those ones are.

[wendigoner]

No, not really. [ She smiles back, laughing lightly at the memory. ] Totally worth it to hear my big brother shrieking, though.

[ Oh, Josh. You drama queen. ]

Yeah, the foxes seem okay! And they're so small...

[skelebro]

Your brother, huh?

[Family's important, but family's also a prime target for every manner of prank imaginable. He's know it. His bed still smells like dirt since Papyrus buried it for kicks.]

Little fella's pretty lowkey, yeah. Think he just figured he'd pair himself up with the laziest guy in town to match.

[wendigoner]

Mm-hmm. [ Oh, Josh. She misses him every day. ]

You seem more 'chill' than 'lazy.' [ Hannah notes, studying Sans. ] But, I guess I don't know you that well, or anything.

[skelebro]

Please. I can't be a lazybones without the lazy.

[Which came first, the pun or the characteristic? That's all very up in the air, all very vague and undecided. A real chicken-and-egg type deal. Or maybe he's just pulling nonsensical, nonexistent, ouroboric conundrums outta his coccyx.

That's more likely.]

[wendigoner]

Ah ha. [ She doesn't roll her eyes, but she grins, amused. ] Very funny...

[ A pun that few can use to maximum capacity, because few are walking, talking skeletons. ]

[skelebro]

I know, I know. [He sweeps a hand in a half-assed flourish, the kind that might accompany a bow if he were predisposed to put that much effort into anything.] Never told that one before. Trust me, I get every kinda humerus bone pun out there.

[wendigoner]

Oh no... [ Hannah half-laughs, half-groans, shaking her head. ] Not puns.

[ Eh, it's okay. He seems nice enough, and funny, and she can withstand some joke warfare. ]

You're a real numbskull, huh?

[skelebro]

[His smile widens at that. Most people'll groan and tell him to knock it off, not join in for fun. Or - for pun.]

Hey, I'm a skelepun. It's what I do.

[wendigoner]

[ Yep, Josh would have loved this guy. ]

I should check around with the other stuff... [ She begins, nodding her head toward the rest of the room, ] But, maybe we can talk again later?

[skelebro]

Sure thing, pal.

[She's the organizer after all. Gotta make sure everybody's doin' all right.] I'll see you around.
