Marco jumped a little when there was a knock on the door, worried that he'd gone into the wrong room and the woman was coming to tell him he shouldn't be there. He sighed when he found it was only Lucas. "Yes, please."
-
Lucas quickly stepped inside, not realizing that Marco might not be decent. He gestured to the toilet. "Go in there, and then press the little silver thing when you're done." He explained. "And then you can wash your hands here. The soap's there," He pointed to the little bottle. "And to get the water, you turn that little knob. Turn it back when you're done, and there're paper towels to dry. Any questions?" He asked, grinning.
-
Marco took it all in, nodding. "Okay. I can do that," as per instruction, he went to the little mini room, closing the door behind himself. After he'd finished his business, he leaned over, and pressed the little silver button- he jumped at least a foot backwards, back hitting the door. "That's loud!" He exclaimed, not having expected it.
-
Lucas laughed sheepishly. "Sorry, I guess I forgot to mention that..." He decided to wait outside the door for Marco rather than going back to the cage, just in case he had any more questions or problems. Lucas had much more experience living indoors than Marco, so he knew he'd have to be patient if the fox hybrid was confused by anything else.
-
Marco, pants zipped back up, left the stall and went to the thing indicated as a hand-washer. He twisted the knob, and was hit by another loud noise. It seemed bathrooms liked to scare him. After he finished washing and drying his hands, he stepped out of the bathroom, feeling acomplished.
-
"All done?" Lucas asked as Marco exited, glad he seemed able to figure things out. "Sorry, I should've warned you it would be loud." He said, beginning to walk back to the cage.
-
Marco followed Lucas back to the cage, seeing along the way that the young couple was reading the clipboards for all of the hybrids, scanning over them. Each clipboard had the hybrid's name, species, breed, age, weight, height- everything. They were still a few away from their cage, so Marco got back in without disruption.
-
Lucas followed him back in and locked the door behind them. He held out a hand to Marco and opened it up, revealing two little fish-shaped cookies. They were meant for cats, but Lucas liked to steal a few when he was out of his cage. "Here, they're really good."
-
Marco reached out, taking one and leaving the other for Lucas. He held it under his nose to sniff. It passed the smell test, because it did smell pretty good. Holding it between two fingers, he took a small bite and nodded. "Good," he confirmed.
-
Lucas nodded and grinned, biting into his. "Aren't they? I just love them, but I have to sneak them when I'm allowed out, because they're meant for cats, and I know that I shouldn't steal them, but just like you said, they're good! And...oh, I'm talking a lot again, aren't I?"
-
Marco, listening and nibbling on the cookie, sat down on his blanket and shook his head. "No, it's okay," he said, actually liking listening to Lucas.
-
Lucas smiled, took another bite, and continued. "See, I've always liked cat food, I mean dog food is good too, but I just like the cat food better. But since I'm a dog, it's weird for me to enjoy it, so I have to sneak it when I'm out. I tried to take some from the cat hybrids once, but," He paused and pulled up his sleeve, revealing three little scratches along his forearm, laughing softly. "It didn't end well."
-
Marco smiled a little at the marks on his arm. "I don't like dog food. I think it's very bland." He shrugged, while the couple had reached Lucas' clipboard to read. They seemed indifferent about what they were reading, and went up to the door of the cage, tapping on it. "Hi, Lucas," the woman cooed, like she was talking to a baby.
-
Lucas nodded, but turned his head when he heard his name. He sat up and smiled politely at the woman, waggling his fingers in a little wave as he moved closer.
-
Marco sat nibbling on his cookie, watching the couple baby over Lucas. The lady, at least sure seemed to like him. She was reaching into the cage, sratching behind his ears and patting his hair. "You're a cutie," she commented, "look at that curly hair!" The husband was standing beside her, glancing around, like he was waiting for her.
