[Just pulls a bunch of stuff down off the racks and starts dumping clothes on her. When everything's done by the head, he hesitates a second.]

I'm gonna cover your face for a sec, okay?

[softlyfalling]

Ah, that's all right, it's fine.

[ she closes her eyes and mouth, though, so that she doesn't like, get an eyeball full of fabric. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Adds one more shirt.]

...okay. Completed buried.

[softlyfalling]

extremely buried

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Uncovers her again.]

...kay. Pretty sure you can come out now.

[softlyfalling]

[ she levers herself up into a sitting position, shedding stray costume pieces. ]

Thank you—I really appreciate it.

Is there anything you need, in return?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sure, if you don't mind.

[Hands his card over, then starts hanging up all these costumes.]

Anything on there you'd be cool with?

[softlyfalling]

Oh, plenty, probably... would playing fetch be useful? Since you've got a lot of that row covered.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Uh, sure. If it's not super weird...?

[softlyfalling]

No, not at all! It's really just playing catch, isn't it?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... I guess that's true, huh.

I didn't think about it that way.

[softlyfalling]

It's pretty normal, I think, so don't worry about it at all. Um...

[ she picks up a rubber ball from one of the bins of supplies. ]

I guess... go get it?

[ and she throws it in a gentle overhand. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[His tail starts wagging a little, excited.]

Uh, sure. Brb.

[And he's off!]

[softlyfalling]

[ squinting after him. did he get it? was it too far? ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[And, comes bounding back, holding the ball out to her.]

...thanks, dude.

[softlyfalling]

[ she takes the ball back. ]

D'you want me to throw it again?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Flushes a little. His tail going crazy is probably a yes, but:]

...think I'm good. Thanks, dude.

[softlyfalling]

If you're sure. And I'm always happy to help.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...it was good talking to you again.

We oughtta hang out sometime.

[softlyfalling]

Mm, we ought to. Most of my hobbies aren't really... things I do with other people, but I feel like I should probably change that?

[crossmyheartandhope]

You don't gotta change it, if it's what you like doing.

[softlyfalling]

It's probably... good for me to get out of my comfort zone, though.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... some hobbies aren't great for company, though... right? If you like reading, it's weird to read with other people.

If it's stuff like that, maybe you can just try something new out, too. Keep your old ones, but stretch your wings some.
