[ Angela's had a bad habit of reinforcing prosthetics and biotics, habitually putting herself on their side, never treating them any differently. No hesitation in touching or accepting them, but nor does she go out of her way to fawn; it's how she's always been. She doesn't miss the face he makes at her mention of hunting, though, and she looks apologetic near-immediately and waves a hand to dismiss it. ]
That's all right, I apologize; I don't have many other practical skills to offer that would be of use in a place like this. It certainly doesn't suit everyone. I don't much like it myself, but it is what it is. The TCCC, though, will always be an open offer.
[ Shiro takes to pets far easier and everything he says has her nodding along, smiling, because she's found much the same to be true. ]
Mm, I've noticed. My little Eiger just appeared in the mail one day, as if someone had overheard my conversation with Snake. But he's been an absolute boon. He's sweet and would love another friend if you ever wanted to come see him. There are a couple of other dogs at my camp as well, but I can't guarantee they'd be there or would approach strangers without their owners around. They're well-trained. I'm hoping to get to that point with Eiger since he takes so well to others; he's well on his way to being a therapy dog. More faces would do him well.
[ Which is to say, she's gently offering him a bit of animal companionship if ever he wished for it. Open-ended and non-expiring. When she prompts further and he sighs, he's fixed with an assessing Look, debating if she should press, where, how. ]
Well, I hope you don't mind my company, then. I'll try not to be too festive. I just wanted to see how you were doing.
[ Spoken with a smile as ever, watching him toy with the mug. He's plenty welcome to ask whatever he may like, especially since she's opened the floor to 'her company' and getting to know her. ]
