[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?

[missleadingquestions]

Good boy, Capsule!

[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.

[rassera]

Hey, my head's perfect sized!

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.]

[that just results in the sound of Maya's laughter past a bunch of mess on the screen when Maya wipes it off with her shirt.]

Capsule! You should be on my side, you know.

[For no reason.]

I guess your face is cute enough to compensate.

[rassera]

Cute? What about -stunning?-

[Remember what she said about a big head, Kaneda?


This is it, right here.]

Video;

[missleadingquestions]

Hmmm, I dunno, right now you look kinda dingy.

[rassera]

...


[Give him a minute to pat down his hair.



And remove that stick.]

[missleadingquestions]

[Congratulations, Kaneda, that just results in sending Maya into another fit of giggles.]

Great cleanup job.

Video;

[rassera]

You think so?


Not bad for being in the middle of a jungle, huh?


Admit it.

[missleadingquestions]

That's not exactly something to be super proud of, you know!

[She laughs. Yes, Kaneda, you look good for a guy stuck in a jungle.]

Video;

[rassera]

Sounds like a yes to meeeeeee.

Video;

[missleadingquestions]

Alright, alright, you look good. Just, good and dingy.

[Snickering, she rolls her eyes.]

You're showing off a lot for someone who's busy!

Video;

[rassera]

Hey! I'm on downtime right now. Even a guy like me's got to rest.

[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;

[missleadingquestions]

I'm tellin' you, it doesn't sound like a very resourceful use of your time.

But if you say so, pal.

[She's not complaining.]

Video;

[rassera]

Oi...getting lectured about how I use my time in a jungle.

It's boring as hell!

Video;

[missleadingquestions]

Then hurry up and kick Pan's butt and get back here!

Video;

[rassera]

FINE, FINE!

Next time you see me, it'll be at the front door.

Video;

[missleadingquestions]

Alllllright...

But don't let me down, now.
