[ it's a bit of a strange segue. lop keeps his hand awkwardly on otome's shoulder as he tries to figure out what brought about this line of conversation. ]
Um. I -- suppose? Humans did still have pet rabbits -- the animals -- and the like where I'm from, too. But, well. It's not as if we're that similar to the animals, so. I think there's a bit of, um, a divide?
[ that actually takes him a full moment to even process, staring blankly at that beautiful smile beaming up at him. ]
Um. [ his ears immediately shift back and his gaze dips aside, flickering nervously to the floor before looking back. ] I, ah. Thank ... you? I can't say I've been told anything like that before. But cages are. Well. A little ...
[ A LITTLE SCARY, he wants to say, but surely this is just a badly told joke, so saying something that blatant would be hurtful?! ]
I. Um. Appreciate the thought. I guess it's very considerate. But I've also, ah ... heard it's bad to keep rabbits in cages. That they can get claustrophobic, if kept caged up ...
[ a very weak and forced laugh as he tries to subtly push at otome's shoulder to gently disengage from that hug. because oh my god. ]
[ It's probably a good thing that Lop's catching on. Because her grip? It's absolutely not budging, even if her smile is sliding away into a more displeased frown. ]
I'd let you out on occasion, you know. We could go for walks.
N-not at all! I enjoy every moment I get to spend with you! But ... um. Cages. Are a little drastic, don't you think?
[ ah. this is actually starting to feel a little scary?! lop winces as otome's arms cinch tighter around his midriff, giving a slight wheeze as he squeezes her shoulder. ]
-- um. I -- sorry, it's getting a little harder to breathe --

You know, I always thought it was funny... Where I'm from, rabbits are considered pets.

It's all right. I'm sure we could find you a nice, roomy one, with comfy blankets and clean water and you'd never be lonely, because you'd have me!
[ Run. ]
