Welcome to Gaia! ::

Richard took a moment to recompose the sentence in her head from Newt's garbled studderings. She chuckled a little at the river comment, normally she might take that as a cue to make Newt uncomfortable but the frustration of the hunt seemed to have worked the predatory behavior out of her system for the moment.

"Be my guest." She slipped a foot under the rabbit and flicked it into the air, landing bonelessly at Newt's feet. "I need it alive, I need two rabbits actually."

Richard watched Newt warily. "Uh Newt, maybe you should cut down on the drinking. And why on earth do you need the feathers? Stuffing a pillow?"

Richard couldn't help but giggle when the frog jumped face first into the bush. She ambled over to where Newt had crash landed and peered down at him. "You know if your drunk, it going to be awfully hard to get away from Annie or Jamal." It was amazing that Richard seemed to be a champion for sobriety now that the taste of alcohol made her gag and fight to contain the contents of her stomach.

Richard's amusement quickly turned to disgust, the smirk to a sneer. Despite her own difficulties with her form she like to think she had never fallen this low. He was a useless drunk, Richard had thought that perhaps the frogman might be able to make her some snares or traps. There was no hope of that when he was like this. "Right." she halfed growled at him. "How pathetic."

She backed off some and looked around to try to get her bearings.

Richard's tail gave an irritated lash. "If that's what you want to call a deathwish, relaxing." Her hmpf was turned into a small growl. At other times she might have tried to give Newt a pep talk about surviving until the lab's crumbled or whatever but after spending the afternoon kissing dirt she just didn't have the energy to be encouraging. She started to turn away, towards a hot shower in her duplex when Newt's last utterance caught her ear.

She stopped mid step, put her foot down and then twisted around to give Newt a sly look. Her gossip detector had gone off. "Who likes what Newt?"

Richard had figured that much out already, she took a step forward and placed her handpaws on her hips. "And does the girl have a name?" Richard wrack her brain to figure out who in the world would be interested in Newt. Maybe it was one sided? Either way Richard's tail curled upwards with curiosity.

"New?" Only Mercedes came to mind when Newt mentioned a new person and she truly doubted Mercedes would give Newt the time of day. "How new? Has she changed?"
