Good news all! I finally got the little lovelies that are going to be living with Llewellyn and Pretzel and myself. Here, let me see if I can get them to pay attention for a picture.

[And yes, he's definitely included an image of not one or two, but three baby bunnies]

Sweetpie is the white one, Sugarbeet is the dark one, and Flopsy is the slightly gray one. The breeder had all three and my research said that it was better to have at least two for company but then I'd have to have left one behind and I just couldn't!

Look at them. Aren't they the sweetest little ones? Look at their faces!

They are SO SOFT. You should pet them. I'm supposed to help them acclimatize to being handled so that when they are older I can collect their fur for yarn. Who wants to pet the babies?

Gamey..seems I've heard that before.

[But he doesn't want to dwell on it too much.]

I've heard people describe deer or duck like that.

[unbreakable_king]

Oh yes. Venison is VERY gamey. I think duck tastes more... fatty to me. I've never been too fond.

[areasontohope]

I haven't had deer, but I was at a New Year party one time and they served a hot pot. i didn't end up trying any though. So I'll take your word for it.

[unbreakable_king]

Hot pot? I am not familiar with that. Can you explain?

[areasontohope]

[He thought a moment.]

It has broth, or soup really that's hot. Meats and vegetables are laid around it and you put the uncooked things into the soup to cook it. I think there was Tofu there at the time as well but I do remember green onions, cabbage and mushrooms too.

[unbreakable_king]

Wait, so it's soup but it's... last minute soup?

[areasontohope]

[Yuki smiled.]

It can definitely be soup.

[unbreakable_king]

That sounds delightful. Soup is a wonderful course.

[areasontohope]

It can be.

[And even though there'd been several, it still got crowded.]

If I end up making one, I can bring you some if you'd like.

[unbreakable_king]

I would be happy to pay you for it!

[areasontohope]

[There was a small laugh.]

You don't need to, honest.

[unbreakable_king]

Ah, but what if I want to young man? What if it would delight me to repay you? It is something I was raised to do.

[areasontohope]

Ah well, that's up to you.

[unbreakable_king]

Then you will be rewarded handsomely.

[areasontohope]

[He smiled and lowered his head so that his grey bangs covered his eyes.]

If you insist.

[unbreakable_king]

This is me, actively insisting.

[areasontohope]

Okay, you win.

[unbreakable_king]

And I shall celebrate fairly. And make you a gift. A nice embroidered scarf perhaps.

[areasontohope]

Oh.

[The fact that he's genuinely touched is evident in his tone.]

That would be great, considering Autumn is just about here and Winter is on its way.

[unbreakable_king]

Wonderful. I shall see to it then. Do you have a favorite color?

[areasontohope]

[Yuki paused a moment and nodded.]

Blue is my favourite colour. Would that be okay?

[unbreakable_king]

Yes, absolutely. But what shade? Dark? Light? Medium? Toward the blues or the grays or the purples? Let me know.

[areasontohope]

[Yuki had to think a moment.]

Light blue would be fine.

[Gosh this man gave him so many choices.]

[unbreakable_king]

Ah, wonderful. I shall definitely have to see what I can put together.

[areasontohope]

I appreciate it, thank you.
