[ makima’s smile at this point becomes toothy and odd— maybe pleased, but it was a strange sot of smile in a way that it wasn’t so perfect. maybe that has been the most natural smile she’s given until today. ]
You’re not wrong. A friend of mine mentioned a dog café to me in a similar manner.
[ Does her smile look odd? Are we going to judge a person for their smile? Not when she does look pleased, like Robby hit a right note.
And he's that kind of person, who pays attention to such things. Grinning himself, listening to Miss Makima say she'll consider it--when he tips his head, says airily: ]
Sure. I'll come on the opening day.
[ Translation: You're totally gonna do it. ]
Do dogs like cupcakes? You should sell 'em too. Go well with tea.
Take out? I'm more a takeout guy. [ Said, with a faux sheepishness--he can't deny it, he thinks he'd prefer having food ordered in than making it himself. ]
But Mister LaRusso's the same, and he had a full time job on top of being a sensei, too. Guess it's not that unbelievable.
[ ...even if Robby keeps thinking 'all those dogs, tho'. ]
[ gross, take out. she'll delete that from the new world. ]
Hmm . . . [ she knows the answer, already. but there's no harm in a bit of pondering to stall her words. that, and tea. ] I think it may just be at a similar level, despite the smaller scale. What do you think about it?
[ Damn, that's dangerous. Robby's shaking his head, amusement in his voice. ] Way more dangerous here. We didn't have magic blood or monsters. Just normal humans, unless everything magical's hiding somewhere.
[ Because maybe that is a thing and he's never noticed it, but for now? It's still hidden. ]
Worst thing you had to worry about was money and people screwing you over. [ A beat, a touch of reflection: ] Probably sounds like paradise.
[ But at the same time, Robby can't think so, even now. He can't say it is, could be. Just sounds like it. ]
People have to worry about rent prices there too? [ He doesn't use you, because what would a government official have to worry about money, obviously. Maybe she's never experienced herself. Maybe she's only adjacently aware of it.
No one who owns so many dogs and gets to cook and have a life has to worry about money. ]
[ Asked after a drink of his tea--not amused, but there's an itch of it left over, but his curiosity is more present. A cop job surrounding monsters doesn't sound like it'd lead over to demolishing rent. ]

[ it’s cute. it’s even endearing. ]
I’ll have to consider it, now.

[ cupcakes made from dog food and unsalted meats and such— but trusting the human taste, a meat cupcake wouldn’t exactly appeal! ]
Have I told you I’m quite the cook?

Was it as dangerous back home as it gets here?

[ which is saddening to say the least. there’s the good part of people. but there’s the bad part, too. and that part just deserves to scram. ]
The supernatural aside— it’s still my home’s biggest problem to this date.

[ so they build up since there's no way to expand sideways anymore. no, she's never lived a life like that. she's only lived with luxuries. ]
One of my biggest dreams is to get rid of all of that, did you know?
