She hums, nodding before pointing to Hugo "Stay here darling." He barks, sitting down and panting at the two of them. Frederique nods, moseying up the stairs and opening her bedroom door. Instantly there was the scent of fresh vegetation, much like the rest of the house. The left side of room was a hashmash of potted plants and flowers, all of them looking well trimmed and taken care of. Flush against the left wall was a fish tank, filled with bright and exotic looking fish and ornate rocks. The right side of the room was in stark contrast to the left, more technologically inclined than floral. A hightech computer was pressed against the wall, connected to a few other laptops and computers on the floor. a piano was shoved haphazardly against the wall beside the bed, and beside it was two guitars, one electric and one acoustic.
Fred makes her way to the closet, pulling it open and hastily getting out of her wet clothes, grabbing a towel off the dresser and drying her hair "Sorry it's a bit of a mess...".

"Psh, mess." Cambria didn't really care as long as there wasn't moldy dishes lying around. "And man, you've really divided your interests. These fish are so cool I can't even tell you." They also were shiny. Big surprise. She wandered over to stare at them hard. Flippy was changing and she really shouldn't look. Shiny things made her stupid. She'd probably wind up going right over and being like 'OMAGAWD SHINY SKIN'. And that would be bad. Yeah. Bad.
"What kinda fish are these? And why so many computers? Do you make your own games or something?"

Fred finishes getting dressed, wearing a camisole and sweatpants. Her hair was braided over her shoulder, still slightly wet from the rain "Let me see here..." She walks over, pointing to various fish and naming them "That's a sort of Angelfish, those are African Cichlids, That one is a Platie, Killifish, Guppies, Minnows, and one Rainbowfish." She nods contently at her fish, giggling slightly at their gaping mouths. "I...I don't play many games, no. Mostly it's because I...how should I put it...I 'surf' the web, and usually it takes more data and ROM to do so."

Cambria stared as she named the fish. "I like the African whatevers. Those things are badass. They look all grumpy and awesome. Your room is full of win." She turned to grin happily at her new friend but it turned into an unrepentant grin quickly.
"And you 'surf' the 'web'. Do I wanna know what you look at? Especially since you need more data and ROM? Or are you one of those sexy spy hacker people? You know, the kind that are usually fat greasy unattractive boy nerds who only wish they were a hot chick with sweet haxxor ability?"

Fred looks at the Cichlids, smiling "Animals are amazing. THey can be a source of emotional support, and it's a wonderful feeling to take care a life that isn't your own." She nods contently, humming before frowning. It does feel nice...
Especially when you don't know if you're living to begin with. She sighs before addressing the second question.
"I do a bit of hacking, yes. Mostly programming. But I can mentally enter the internet, so in order to do that without hurting myself I have to rig up a bit of a master computer by connecting all these computers together."

"I wouldn't really know about what it feels like to take care of a pet. Fluffy is Alice's. And mean. So I never took care of him. I like these fish though. Maybe I could manage not to kill something like that." Cambria bent to get a closer look at the rainbow fish with a pleased hum at how shiny it was.
"And it's reaaaaaally cool that you can put your consciousness into the internet. Though, the internet can be a really scary place too." She shot a wide eyed look at Fred and thoughts of past accidental horrors of the internet flashed through her mismatched eyes.

"Ahaha, yes I know. I've almost died before since viruses see me as an easy target, while malware and firewalls see me as a virus. Luckily I rebooted before I could die but...it was still pretty bad." She watches the fish, smiling "Do you want a fish? I could take you to the store and show you what you need to care for one. there's even cat-proof lids, so Fluffy won't hurt them."

"You reboot?" Cambria asked with raised eyebrows. "What's it feel like? Oh, and you'd really take me to look at fish!? That would be so cool. I want really really shiny ones. And colorful ones. And are you kidding? Fluffy is so not allowed in my dorm room. Alice knows waaaay better then to bring that monster near me anymore." Her whole countenance and bearing turned from focused on the fish, to curious and then to flattered pleasure, all of her feelings played across her face. The pretty shiny one wants to hang out more. Hell. Yes.

Frederique watches as all these emotions play out, laughing softly when Cambria finishes. "You are quite the bundle of energy...I wonder how you would act at an aquarium." She ruffles Cambria's hair, smiling gently. There was something about that endless ammount of energy that Fred found endearing. It was nice to be around her. "I would love to help you find some fish." She completely dodges the reboot question.

Cambria's "hair" was actually very soft feathers. She couldn't do a thing with them. (Lies, she could, she just didn't want to.) "I'm crazy, it's true. I'm rarely too tired to get into trouble. As for an aquarium I go nuts. So many shiny things in one place. I've been told I'm not allowed in museums. It is so not my fault that shiny things leap into my purse. Uh anyway, I'm glad you'd love to help me with fish, because I think I need some, I could watch yours forever." She definitely noticed the dodging of the question, but hey it must have been way more personal then she thought. So she let it fly. This time.

She smiles "It's a date then. Whenever you wish to go to the pet store, I shall take you." Upon Cambria's second comment, Fred blushes deeply. What did Cambria mean by watch forever? Th-...That's confusing for Fred. Gosh Cambria.
Gosh.

"Awesome. That's going to be so fun. We should probably swap numbers." Cambria said, whipping her bejeweled phone out, then paused. "Date. You said date. Did, did you mean like a Date date? Or just like a date to be kept?" Her eyes had definitely widened and she was gaping a bit. The grip on her phone tightened and her dark skin darkened with a blush.
She had been straight this morning, before Freddie happened. But... nope she'd definitely go on a Date date if Fred asked her. Hell she'd probably have wound up asking her out too... Oh well, not like it's a big deal. Always learning something new!

Fred's face turns a deeper red, suddenly feeling too warm for comfort. Would a Date date be bad? She didn't know, she's never BEEN on a Date date. Hell, she hasn't even questioned her sexual orientation; what is she was straight and made Cambria sad? What if she was bad at dating? What if she kept Cambria waiting with an answer while she was thinking this all out? WH-Yeah she didn't know "...What do you want?" Yes, good. Fred is not one to make decisions, especially emotional ones.

Hmmmm Fred looked unsure about what was going on in her own head. Well if there's one thing that Cambria could claim, it was assertiveness. Sassy assertiveness even.
She seemed to lose all doubt and even saucily propped her hand on a cocked a hip. "Well then, I'd be more then happy to make it a Date date if you're not opposed." And then she grinned her devil may care smile.

Fred blinks before smiling softly in relief. Cambria wouldn't mind. She didn't know why this made her feel happy, but it did. "I would happy to do such....although I am not sure how many people go on dates in pet stores" She taps her chin "Although we are not normal people..." She shrugs, grinning.
