"It's not karaoke. I swear," Maria said as she half pulled half led Thomas down the sidewalk.

	"And here I thought you might have liked me just a bit," he sighs somewhat dramatically. "Guess I'll just have to learn to cope." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria grinned and laughed. Tormenting him was so much fun. He was the brother she never had. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Careful, I might decide to leave you with just the grouchy one for company," he laughs. Closest thing he had had in his world to a sister was Babs, and maybe Cass in a way, but the age difference had been greater and the relationship very different so it wasn't comparable really. He honestly didn't think he'd feel even half as comfortable in this world if not for Maria. Plus, teasing and tormenting each other was fun.

	"Pfft, so have I. Where do you think I lived all my life before? Though he's grouchier here. I thought a kitten around would do him good," he joked, though really, cute cats did wonders for people in his opinion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It'll take a lot more than a kitten," she said. "It would take all the kittens in the world and then some." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is that a way of saying we should get more kittens? I can do that," he grins. But then he gets very serious. "No dogs or puppies though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didn't say that!" she protested. "I'm so not going to be blamed for a house full of cats." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-01-23 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Totally did, planted the idea there and are to blame," he teases. "Maybe you can get a cat of your own." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-01-23 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh I so did not," she said. "You did it all on your own." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thomas just smiled and shook his head at her. "It's cute you think that. We'll get you a kitten then, more cheer for the grouch as you suggested." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't do well with living things," she said. "I'd probably kill it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-01-23 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	Thomas frowned. "How could you possibly kill a kitten? And you can't be that bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-01-24 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't kill a kitten, but there have been many fish and a hamster or two over the years. Not intentionally of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am very glad that no kittens were harmed then. And that Mr. Paws is mine and not yours, I'd worry for him now otherwise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And he's very grateful for that," Thomas smirked. "Though you're older and supposed to be the responsible one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-01-24 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Please. I wouldn't know what responsibility is if it hit me in the head." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-01-24 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	He gave her a light tap on the head and grinned. "Guess you're right. I'd say we do the thing they do for kids to make them learn responsibility, give them a fish. Except...I'm sure enough fish have died at your hands." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-01-24 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes," she said. "Those poor fish." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't even sound sorry," he teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
