[ The sheepish look on his face is not one that he's proud of, especially because of what's happening immediately behind him. There's a dog on its back, all four legs in the air, and its chewing on the rope of his lasso. He only wishes that he could say this has happened to him before. ]

If anyone's seeing this, I could use a little help to get out of this...situation.

[ The dog barks. ]

I don't know if I'll get arrested for this, but I think this animal might belong to someone and is lost, so any distractions for the police would be very appreciated.

[ Another bark, like the dog approves and is enjoying its upside-down antics, kicking its legs in the air like it enjoys it. With a wary look back at the screen, Vasquez gives one last pleading look of help in a single expression. ]

See, now I understand you. This isn't a place to be responsible for anything but yourself.

[Then again, he would've said that about any place, that's just his current mode when it comes to the way he goes through life.]

Do you have a cat here, then?

[naz]

Well...

( She shrugs a little, her voice non-commital, because she doesn't necessarily agree, but she supposes she can't really disagree, yet, either; she's still new here. )

I guess that depends on the person. I don't, no, I haven't been here long enough to settle into my own life, let alone take care of an animal yet. Eventually, though, maybe...

[He thinks that if he can stay here, all the better. It gives him a place to live and stay, it gives him food, it gives him safety. That doesn't mean he's rushing out to get a pet.]

What about this wish business? I thought that everyone would get it fulfilled and go? It's happened enough times to people I know, not you?

[naz]

I'm not sure I'll be able to pay back enough energem fast enough to make it so easy, but eventually. I'm imagining I'll be here for a while before it's time to go.

( But he's right, she does intend to go home when she's had her wish granted. It's just asking a lot, in her opinion, to have full control of Killer Frost's powers while not being entirely ready to jump into bed with people. She'll be taking her time. She'll get there, of course, but she'll be taking her time and she has a feeling that's going to draw out the process enough for her to need to settle in. )

[Vasquez snorts, because with him, he's probably got a long time to go before he's built up enough energem. At the same time, maybe he's not exactly trying very hard, because there's no way that going back home is going to be anywhere near as freeing as here.]

You and me both. Me, though, I'm not on my way out anytime soon by choice.

[He suspects that even though he's building up affections, he's also willing to do something to counteract that. No rush to get back to hiding out and the outlaw life, after all.]
