[If the dog was bothered by it, he certainly didn't show it as he stretches his neck forward, trying his damn hardest to lick Bull's face. Just...a little closer.
It's not close at all.]
...
[Kaneda snaps his fingers almost automatically, and on the other side of the sidewalk a motorcycle shows up, ready and waiting.]
Something like that. I mean, mine's better...but it's got two wheels.
action;
That was shitty of you both.
action;
[His head tilts up, giving Bull the stink eye before huffing.]
Asshole was just looking for a fight.
action;
action;
[It comes out a little rapid, and his grip on Capsule tightens.]
He poked me til I said the wrong thing.
action;
Probably best to give him a bit to cool his ass off, then.
... Any idea where he'd run to?
action;
Warning flags sent up like no one's business.]
He -won't- cool off, Bull. That's his problem.
action;
Happen to see which way he went?
action;
action;
... Know who he talks to regularly? Aside from us.
action;
Kazu. Some guy named Kazu.
Other than that...he keeps that to himself.
action;
Know what he looks like?
action;
[Kaneda honestly couldn't think of anything that stood out, honestly, which doesn't make this any easier.]
action;
[Because if it's anything like Cole's weird hat, they may be onto something.]
action;
[A lot of people had beanies, but that's all Kaneda can recall.]
He should be in the directory, yeah?
action;
It's worth a shot to look up. If nothing else, maybe he knows where your buddy was headed.
action;
[Capsule wanders over to Bull, pawing at his pants.]
Tetsuo can't hide forever.
action;
[He glances down, then just. Scoops up the pup in one hand. Balancing it like Capsule's a fuzzy airplane.]
He won't.
action;
It's not close at all.]
...
[Kaneda snaps his fingers almost automatically, and on the other side of the sidewalk a motorcycle shows up, ready and waiting.]
Something like that. I mean, mine's better...but it's got two wheels.
action;
... Huh. Very nice.
Where do I get one?
action;
Well, I could make one, but...-you-?
Sure you wouldn't like...crush it?
action;
[A beat.]
And throwing it doesn't count.
action;
Throwing it counts.
I don't know...I guess if that ol' blimp Joker back home could fit on one, you're not out of the question.
action;
It's either that thing or a car.
[He'll set the pup down though, if they're going to keep talking.]
action;
You could always steal one.
action;
Nah. Then that screws over whoever owns it. And how do I know it's not some kid who saved up everything to get one?
