Don't tell Ocelot. [It's the last request he makes about this. But he'll hope, at least that Snake shows some interest in what his plans are. That he'll ask him of his own free will.]
[Like two harried birds, they finish grooming and tending to one another, drawing comfort from slight touches that can't come from Kaz needing assistance to rise or settle or to have his clothes situated properly on his body due to the need for an extra hand. He tucks his hands back close to him, withdrawing into himself again.]
[He can be patient. He's good at waiting.]
[The sound of faint licking draws his attention, and he notes Mama has stuck her snout into DD's ear and is grooming him in a friendly way. As if she had taken some sort of cue from the two masters, though her and the ambiguously wolf looking dog don't look as melancholy as either one of them.]
[Watching the two of them, Kaz picks up his now empty cup and waits for Snake to rise, before offering up his hand again, like he wants help up.]
[They both know he doesn't need it. Not in the way he used to, anyway.]
