playing video games and losing to the CPU-- only to sigh when the loss becomes official. He drops the control and goes to answer the door.
makes the wee Rabbit wave, 'Surprise~'
blinks at the sight after he pulls open the door. "Hi. What...what is all this?"
'You said you wouldn't get yourself a rabbit so I got you one.' She holds out the bunny, 'She did have a ribbon on at one point but it kept_

pets the rabbit. 'I don't have to do a lot of things.'
sure when she is male again, she will regret it. Deeply. "...Thank you."
can learn to like domesticated rabbits... maybe. 'Aren't you going to name her?'
reaches out to take the rabbit. "What sort of rabbit is she?" Kind of looks like a French lop...or a mini lop...or a Holland lop-- some sort
of lop that is not English.
looks at the rabbit blankly, 'It's a white and brown rabbit.'
takes the rabbit, lifting it, "Did you even make sure it is a girl?"
nods, 'I got the guy at the store to check it!'
checking to make sure and the guy at the store is right. He holds the bunny close. "Um, do you want to come in?"
currently checking the breed of the rabbit from the receipt. 'It's a French Lop?' she tries before shaking her head. 'I have to go get the_
nods, looking down at the rabbit before looking a bit higher at Will. "Okay. Thank you for bringing her to me."
looks at the rabbit and then Matthew. 'No problem.' She drags the pieces of hutch out of the car she rented, 'It has a detachable top so_
that you can bring her in when it gets frosty.'
moves out of the way to bring the stuff in, not wanting to put down the rabbit right this second.
drags the stuff in, 'Do you want it in the back garden?'
shakes his head. "In my room."
nods slowly... 'Alrighty then.' So she sets it up in his room, taking out stuff from the bag tucked into her side. 'I bought enough food_
for a month and anything else she'll need...' She pauses, 'But.. you don't seem too happy?'
gently sets her down on the bed. "That's really nice of you. But, you already said you don't like rabbits."
sighs, leaning back against the hutch. 'I just wanted to make you happy.'
it does not break, sitting down on the bed as he pats the rabbit. "It does make me happy...Molly's cute." With the rabbit now named, there
no hope for Australia to turn back.
that's fine. It's cute and makes Matthew happy... and it won't be eating any of her crops. William smiles, 'Molly huh?' She looks at the_
hutch, 'You do know Rabbits make the most sound at night?'
a short shrug. "I don't mind staying on the couch." 'cause he does that when he's completely exhausted after work.
blinks. "I don't want her house thing to be outside, Will..."
then thinks. "...Maybe I can put it in the kitchen."
that's unhygenic... 'Maybe the livingroom?'
considering saying that next. "Okay."
move the hutch to the livingroom then, 'Why Molly?'
. "Because she looks like a Molly."
it's a good name. She places the hutch in the livingroom, arms sore by now. 'Better than Honeycomb.' That's what she was going to suggest.
sits down on the couch with Molly in his lap, insisting she takes a seat and rest.
sits beside Matthew on the couch, watching the little ball of fluff. 'Do you think Kumajiro will be okay with her?'
nods, "I think so...He's napping right now, though, so he will see her later."
nods, slipping off her shoes to bring her legs up onto the couch. 'She likes you,' she says, reaching over to pet it.
picks Molly up to give to Will. "She likes you, too."
doubts this but she takes the rabbit, watching it's nose twitch. 'If I squint my eyes she kind of looks like Jess,' she mumurs, holding the_
rabbit in the crook of her arm.
blinks as he watches the two. "Who is Jess?"
rubs it's tummy, 'One of my Sugar Gliders... it's kind of like a flying squirrel but it's a marsupial.'
"One...? How many do you have?"
blinks, 'Two... they get lonely.'
nods slowly. "What's the other's name?"
... pauses, 'James.' He named them after team rocket...
throws people off however by calling the girl by just Jess...
would not understand the joke, really. "They are both J names. That's cute."
hands the rabbit back, 'I thought so.'
sets Molly back down in his lap. "Molly is just Molly."
mumurs, 'Molly...' He looks at the rabbit, 'It suits her.'
picks her up and holds her up to Will's face. "Say hi to Uncle Aussie."
goes cross eyed, pulling back a little. 'Auntie at the moment.'
pulls Molly back and sets her down on his lap again with a short laugh.
watches Matthew, amused. She's glad he likes the rabbit. 'Well...' she starts, hands on her knees. 'I should probably go check on Bruce.'
leave Matthew with the rabbit and go cuddle up with Bruce on the guestbed, eventually falling asleep.
