"Today's wonderful, isn't it?" Ankita said, smiling. Sarava was wrapped around her neck, her tail periodically brushing up against her hair and her face. She took a deep breath, feeling the cool braze against her face. Her eye closed, she could only imagine how beautiful it must have looked to match the wonderful coolness.

Hadrian, while he hadn't been following Ankita had been a few paces behind her for a handful of seconds and responded to her hypothetical question.
"Quite," he said quietly, a horribly uncharacteristic smile playing on his lips.
Not that she'd be able to see it.

Sarava's head quickly snapped back, eying the voice. You again.
Ankita looked around, somewhat confused. Sarava had never spoken before, and she was fairly certain that she was, in fact, a girl. And then she finally realized who it was.
"..H. Hadrian?" She was fairly sure that was his name, but she still said it fairly quietly in case it wasn't. "How are you? I feel like it's been a while since we saw each other." she snorted. Because in all honesty, she didn't expect to ever see him again.

Hadrian once again offered up an orange to try and quell the huge-eyed beast's anger for whatever time remained.
He'd actually taken to carrying them with him.
"It has been," Hadrian said, "I got promoted. And found a zebra in a box. How's your life been?"

Ankita chuckled, "A Zebra? that's quite the discovery to have made." she smiled half nervously. Sarava on the other hand was quiet pleased with the peace offering, and quickly began tearing apart the orange rind and getting to the juicy fruit.
"Me? Hm." She thought about everything that had happened, "Well... Made some friends... and some enemies." She mumbled, remembering the little quarrel she found herself in. "But other than that, uneventful." She nodded.
"OH! You got promoted!" her voice seemed to have raised an octave in excitement. "How was your performance? Was everything good? How are things now with you? Liking the upgrade?"

Hadrian nodded out of habit.
"Yeah, but everyone needs some enemies. It makes life more interes--" he laughed when Ankita began rambling, "Slow down! Ah...my performance was...fine. Everything's...okay. Things are...lonely, frankly, but who knows. And, yes, I'd much rather turn all pruny than have to lift boxes all day."
It was only a half-lie.

Ankita's expression seemed to fluctuate from Happy to somewhat sad to happy again depending on his responses.
"Well, I'm glad that some things are working out for you." she nodded. "It's always good to not have to do the heavy labor though." She grinned.

"Yeaaah," Hadrian droned, "but, you see, I'm going to have to start lifting other people now or something. Gotta keep up the image." He snorted slightly.
Oh, how he hated the 'image'.
He accidentally let an awkward silence grow.
"So..."

Ankita snorted, and grinned.
Sarava was enjoying the orange, not paying any mind as the juice stuck to her fur, she was far too distracted by the sweetness to pay any mind to it. Him, on the other hand, was a different story. She continued to eye him, slowly blinking.
"You and Sarava seemed to be getting along very well." she said, nodding.
As long as he pays at least. Sarava snorted.

"Ah, the beauty of bribes," Hadrian snorted and looked to the aye-aye warily. There was absolutely no way he was going to allow her to attack him.
Again.
"By the by? You have a very sticky aye-aye. There may be a bit of an issue removing her from...your person."

Ankita reached over, petting Sarava between her ears. The aye-aye's eyes went euphoric as she began to pur.
"She's an easy one to please if you just know what to do." Ankita grinned, pulling her little companion's face close to hers and kissing it. "She's just a little baby." her voice went soft between the kisses she planted on the orange covered fur.
Ankita shrugged at his comment. "She's always stuck to me, whether or not there's some sort of stickiness involved." she giggled quietly to herself.

Nothing about that statement seemed funny to Hadrian, but he smiled anyway. Ankita was damn cute in an innocent kind of way.
"Yeah," he nodded, "I guess I'll just have to learn, then."

"You can pet her if you want." Her eyebrows raised with a slight hint of happiness. She leaned forward a little bit to get Sarava closer.
The hell do you think you're doing? Sarava's eyes grew wide as she saw herself being moved closer to him and she snorted, quickly turning her head and hiding it in the unruly mess that sat on top of Ankita's head.
"Aww, come on, don't be so shy, you like getting pet anyway." Ankita said softly, trying to get her out of what mess she burrowed herself into.

"Uhhh..." Hadrian voiced, the last few syllables turning into a nervous laugh. He knew quite well that the little freak of nature (as if he was one to speak) didn't like him much.
If at all.
So instead of petting her, he held out his hand, palm-up, like one would do for a cat. He figured if she bit, scratched, or spit on him, then that was a definite no. He could take that.

"Be nice..." Ankita said, whispering into Sarava's ears. Sarava snorted in response, sniffing at the man's hand, her nose brushing up against his palm every now and then. Finally, she simply lowered her head for him to pet, eying his every movement.
