This is Kyna. You should just text me if you actually want me to answer.

Oh, no. He can't track. He can steal bread off of the counter when no one's looking, though.

[Which is an admirable trait, or maybe not.]

I just thought you'd like him.

[leashed]

I see.

[He pets at the dog's head again, before nodding.]

I do. Would you like to come inside?

[Rome steps back to allow them both in. The house is pristine as ever, with an extra layer of shine to it- he's been cleaning since Morgan's disappearance. It's good to get the scent out, he thinks. Better for everyone involved.]

[evocation]

[Kyna and Lando follow, though Lando immediately starts sniffing everything in the apartment he can reach. Kyna, meanwhile, loops her arm through Rome's and holds up the cookie box with her free hand.]

I brought cookies, too.

[leashed]

[Rome tilts his head at the cookies and the closeness both, looking over toward Kyna for a moment before nodding.]

The Door brought those in, didn't it?

[evocation]

Yep.

[And if he lets her, she's going to try to tug him towards the couch.]

Have you ever had them?

[leashed]

Not this kind, no.

[He moves without much complaint, even if the goal here was to clean.]

I'm not sure if they existed in my world.

[These particular snacks, he means. He's had regular cookies, obviously.]

[evocation]

You're gonna die.

[She flops down, waiting for him to follow.]

Try one.

[leashed]

I'm going to die?

[He's- uh, not sure if he wants to try one now, but he sits gingerly, reaching a hand out to the dog to idly pat at its head.]

...why?

[evocation]

Oh, uh... Not literally. It's a saying, you know? Like, "it's so good you'll die".

[leashed]

I see.

[He reaches for one, in that case.... trusting her, even though she just threatened to kill him with a cookie.]

May I?

[evocation]

[She grins and nods. She's going to just sit back and watch his reaction.]

[leashed]

[It's just food, right?

He takes a bite of it, hesitant but a little curious all the same and it's... well, it's pretty good. Rome nods appreciatively, taking another bite before responding to her.]

This is better than the food we have available here, by far.
