Oh look, there are people in the world BESIDES TAKAO & MANY OTHERS who have an affinity for dumb questions. Do dumb questions deserve dumb answers? Some might think so. He USUALLY thought so. Spare it now; save it for later—it might come in handy for something better. Breath remained STEADY—as did limbs. But eyes held reason no more to keep themselves closed. They shot open, taking in the mug of the person who BOTHERED him.

❛ I don’t know. Maybe. You can try & check for a pulse if you like—but I can’t promise you’ll get that hand BACK if you touch me. ❜
He tried & somehow FAILED to push back the bark. Unnecessary. Completely unnecessary. Hands flat on the ground found the ABILITY to push his upper body to sit upright—not like he needed an outrageous amount of effort to do so. One hand gave a wave.
❛ Sorry. ❜ Eyes gave of a bit of a roll with the next response but not to be RUDE or make it seem as though the other was IMPOSING. It was more geared to his own slight inability to not jab at everything that did not ask for it. ❛ That was INFANTILE of me. ❜
