so, uh what's everyone's take on pets on this place? has that been already been covered? yknow with the whole this place's just like a pit stop, for some of us [ he feels he should clarify. he doesn't know your lives. ], til we get that wish.

[ like it's one thing to start something with someone who knows and understands you're gonna leave. it's another thing to do that to an animal who has come to depend on you. ]

This is because of me, isn't it? Just tell the truth, you couldn't bear to leave the dog at the shelter all alone, could you?

[ Jax scrunches his nose. And so what if he couldn't? Those had been some mighty puppy dog eyes. ]

he already has a spot on my bed. [ good thing this is via text. because then it all sounds like nbd

and he's already rented out all the books he can find. he hasn't gotten into buying him toys yet. that would be committing. ]

[Vasquez can barely even keep himself from laughing because of course Jax gave in. He's only surprised that maybe it took so long for him to admit it.]

You already spoil him too much. He's going to think he's the one in control of you.

[scrimshanding]

[ you mean he isn't? ]

yknow
you've got a lotta pet advice for a guy who didn't want a dog.

[ can the good-naturedness come through the exasperation via text? jax isn't worried about it. ]

[quinientos]

Just because I don't want a dog doesn't mean I haven't seen how to take care of animals, you know.

[After all, he's happy to hand them off, but he can enjoy being around them. He also knows when someone is being controlled by something.]
