Vernon: I think paws down, that crown is gonna have to go to Kodi. With maybe...Qali in second place...
Kodi: Yeeep...me and my sister are prolific shedders...
Val: Tell me about it, the house has got whole packs of white fuzzy tumbleweeds rolling around every room.
Trenton: *Chuckles* Qalis does shed, but not that badly...
Qali: I can't help it! I'm an Arctic fox! *whining* Of course I'm going to shed when the weather gets warm! I wasn't built for that.
Trenton: *Scoops Qali up into his arms, hugging her into him.* There, there Darlin', I already told ya that don't bother me none. Ain't like I don't shed too...and as much as y'all do shed in the summer, it still ain't that much in the grand scheme o' thangs...cause yer so adorably tiny. *Kisses the top of Qali's head.*
Qali: *Squirms in Trenton's grip, giggling* Trenny stahp! *Titters*
Val: At least you only shed in the summer. This dork sheds all the time...like constantly. *Val points a thumb in Kodi's direction*
Kodi: Hey! I'm an Arctic mammal too! I definitely wasn't made for living in Sahara Square! And you wonder why I'm so glad to have been moved to the outpost in Tundratown so I at least get a breather on my workdays now.
Ulric: Actually, that probably makes it way worse...Switching back and forth from an arctic climate to an arid climate is more than likely confusing the processes in your body that make you grow and shed fur. This is why the shedding is happening all year round, cause every time you go to work you're body is going 'It's so cold! Grow fur grow!' And then you go home and it's like 'This is boiling, shed, shed, shed!'
Vernon: That was...an oddly reasoned take from y'all Ully...
Ulric: Just because you guys don't take most of my interests seriously, I'd expect you'd at least wouldn't forget I worked in forensics, so I do know a thing or two about how mammalian bodies work!
Kodi: Yeah, well tell my mate that then! I'd love nothing more than for us to pick up and move to Tundratown full time but she wo-.
Val: Not negotiable. Dad gave me and El the house to split, you knew that and still decided to propose.
Kodi: So! We can give it to El! We can ju-.
Val: Nothing doing. *Shakes head* Amelia and I already have a garage location picked out. The lease is signed...once I wrap tech school the garage opens. Why move farther away from my business?
Kodi: Babe...I'm begging you here...
Val: *Eyes widen, getting shimmery and startling the surrounding mammals as well as Kodi.* "Kodi...I can't...it's not just my Dad's house...it was...my Mom's too you know...
Vernon: S-Sweet sawgrass! That's some powerful puppy eyes...
Kodi: *Lets out a whine, then a huff before throwing his head back and sighing...* Alright, fine! Fine!... But if we stay in Sahara Square, the shedding will always be an issue.
Val: *Immediately drops the pleading eyes, her smug smirk returning.* As long as you keep cleaning 'em up...'sides...they're growing on me...sorta like how you did...
Kodi: *Shakes head* Pft...c'mon, now you're really messing with me...
Val: *Laughs* Hey, they remind me of you when you aren't home...that...and they sorta get me thinking about what it might be like having some little dorks running around that look like you someday...
Kodi: *Tail begins to wag furiously*
Val: *Roles her eyes* I said 'someday'! 'Someday okay! *Laughs* Don't get too worked up...
Kodi: *Wraps Val in a tight, excited hug! kissing the top of her head like crazy as his tail continued to wag. Val puts up a weak protest but ultimately gives in.* I can't stop now! You know I can't turn off my tail once it kicks off! We just gotta ride it out now!
Val: *Rolls her eyes* You're lucky I love you...
Kodi: *Tail wagging faster* You're only making it worse! *Chuckles*
Gus: Anyone else miss when Val was cold and unfeeling? Or is it just me? *Snickers*
