[nellacerniera]

Okay. I'm sorry. I won't put it like that again.

[He's still a bit upset that he annoyed Leone but shhhh it's fine]

[ripetuto]

[Leone gets to his feet and goes over to Bruno to press a kiss to his temple.]

I'm not mad, Bruno.

[nellacerniera]

[He sighs a bit and tugs Leone down to sit next to him.]

I'm... still a bit upset at myself, admittedly, but...

[ripetuto]

Why?

[He goes, pulling Bruno into his arms for a moment.]

[nellacerniera]

[Nope, this is not going to be just a moment, Bruno is making himself comfortable right here, thank you very much.]

... I'm not even completely sure, to tell you the truth

[ripetuto]

[Well, Leone sure as fuck can't help him figure it out, so he's just going to sit here and hold Bruno!]

I'm not mad.

[nellacerniera]

[And honestly, that's probably more helpful at this point.]

Okay... okay.

[He's still probably going to be upset for a bit though because Unfortunately Emotions Are Just Kind Of Like That.]

[ripetuto]

[If Bruno wants to be held, then Leone will hold him.

Honestly, it makes it easy for Biscotto to find them and deposit one newly hatched Fidough in Leone's lap.

Leone stares.]

What. The. Fuck.

[nellacerniera]

[Bruno also stares, then laughs a bit, disbelievingly.

(Well, it's a laugh, at least?)

He reaches out to carefully touch the Fidough, amused.]

This must have come from that other egg...

[ripetuto]

[She instantly rolls over for bellyrubs!]

It's dough. That dog looks like an unbaked loaf of bread!

[nellacerniera]

[Aw. Bellyrubs she will get!!]

Feels like it, too... I guess this one's in great company considering Cremosa and Melassa.

[ripetuto]

And Camomilla, Zucca, Caramella...is anyone making fancy cakes in the shape of the food Pokemon?

[nellacerniera]

They're certainly missing out if they're not.

[Though now he has to grab his Gear to look...

Also, soon enough, Leone will not have one puppy to contend with, but two, considering Bruno's Maschiff is waking up and deciding to join the Fidough in Leone's lap.]

[ripetuto]

Oof--Bruno, Fico!

[A good dog, but also that is his THIGH]

[nellacerniera]

Wh-- Fico, no!

[... At least Fico will obediently (and perhaps surprisingly, carefully) get down at that.]

[ripetuto]

One of the other, not both of you. How does dough weigh this much?

[nellacerniera]

[Fico will claim Bruno's lap in the meantime, then!]

Good question...

[ripetuto]

You'd think I'd stop asking that question. I have a sentient pot of tea that likes to sit on my head.

[nellacerniera]

And that's not even getting into some of the ones I have...

[Like the sentient keyring and the haunted sword.]

[ripetuto]

...is it strange that I miss Stands because they made more sense?

[nellacerniera]

No, it's not.

[Also, after some poking around his Gear a little...]

There's some making the cakes but not as many as I figured there might be. Talk about a missed opportunity...

[ripetuto]

If I could bake.

[nellacerniera]

Nothing stopping you from learning now. I'd help.

[ripetuto]

Nah, baking's not really feasible when we're traveling even if it was my thing.

[nellacerniera]

I mean we're not exactly doing a lot of traveling now... But I get it.

[A quick kiss.]

Maybe it's something I'll try my hand at later down the line, though. Cooking is something that got suggested to me for a hobby, so that and baking...

[It's worth consideration.]
