[He smiles to himself, behind the feed, setting it down next to him while he uses his arm as a pillow. Truth be told, it was nice having someone to talk to. Everyone here was so tense, always prepped for battle, talking battle plans or how tired they were.
He needed this.]
He likes melon-flavoured things. It's damn hard to find here, though. I looked.
Oh-- really? You didn't just go to the store the udon place shops from?
[Make connections, man!!
Maya's eager to have someone to talk to, as well, though. Tetsuo isn't good company and being alone in the house just reminds her of being alone in the Manor.]
That's where you get all the cool stuff! You gotta talk to the restaurant owners.
[she says, like it's a common courtesy.
Kaneda may be able to hear the snuffles of Capsule's snout as he positions himself next to Maya. He can just barely hear his master's voice over the line.]
They probably have something like it, if they don't have it. It's a pretty good store.
[When it clicks to video on Kaneda's end...the boy's...honestly seen better (and cleaner) days. Dirt and scratches spread across his face, his hair's a mess, and he looks beyond tired. But there's a little smile, seeing his dog for the first time in days.]
Capsule, hey buddy...
[The dog's eyes don't leave the screen, except for a few times where he noses Maya with his muzzle, as if to say THAT'S HIM THATS MY MASTER HE IS HERE I SEE HIM AND HEAR HIM.]
[Maya smiles faintly at him. She can see the dirt and scratches and exhaustion and it reminds her of where she was four months ago. But he'll be out of there soon. She has to believe in that.
She turns her smile to Capsule, letting it grow as she scritches his head.]
That's right, there he is! You've been suuuuch a good puppy, right Capsule?
[Capsule's nose inches closer and closer to the feed, trying to sniff the screen where his master's face is. It's strange, he's right there, but he can't feel his master's warmth or his smell. He smelled like metal????
Oh but then Maya scritches his head, talking to him, and it's easy for the dog to roll on his back and into her, clearly spoiled by the affection.
Something Kaneda can't help but smile at.]
You're protectin' her, boy? You better be.
How come you never give me that kind of attention?
Audio;
[She smiles a little. Doesn't sound like she's been doing the wrong thing at all. Good to hear.]
Any other helpful Tetsuo tips?
[Maybe she likes hearing him talk about Tetsuo right now. There's a lack of that bitterness from before.]

We can go look when you get back.

[It's not like he frequented grocery stores back home. But...now that he thinks about it, why didn't he? He has money now...]
Do they have Hi-Chew?

Audio;
Is that...Capsule?
[And as if on cue, the dog's head lifts, ears at full perk and head tilting from side to side at the comm.
HIS MASTER IS HERE BUT HE IS NOT????]
Audio > Video;
[She switches to video, holding it out in front of them both to make sure Capsule's on camera.]
Say hi, buddy!!
Video;
Capsule, hey buddy...

[Maya leans down and puts her arm around Capsule's chest, pulling him up in a half-hug and smooching what bit of Capsule's face counts as a cheek.]
Because Capsule's not gonna get a big head if I spoil 'im.
Video;
Tell her, Capsule!
[Capsule looks at the screen again, blinking once or twice before straight up licking it. HE LOVES YOU MASTER, YOU ARE GOOD AND SMART.]
Video;
Capsule! You should be on my side, you know.
[For no reason.]
I guess your face is cute enough to compensate.
Video;
[Remember what she said about a big head, Kaneda?
This is it, right here.]
Video;
Video;
[Give him a minute to pat down his hair.
And remove that stick.]
Video;
Great cleanup job.
Video;
Not bad for being in the middle of a jungle, huh?
Admit it.
Video;
[She laughs. Yes, Kaneda, you look good for a guy stuck in a jungle.]
Video;
Video;
[Snickering, she rolls her eyes.]
You're showing off a lot for someone who's busy!
Video;
[Watch him as he adjusts himself on that hard ground, head nestled into a pile of folded limps as a 'pillow']
Besides, I always got time to show off for a cute girl!
Video;
But if you say so, pal.
[She's not complaining.]
Video;
It's boring as hell!
