PLACE YOUR BET !!!

📺⭐🟥⭕ To anyone other than the two of them it'd be weird to see a smile after such a harsh admission and feel a strange sort of comfort at their laugh. Especially from someone that knew full well he wasn't speaking in hyperbole. But some part of him just knew that wouldn't shock him.

Its just what they say next that makes him double-take. " You run a casino nowadays..? " He scoffs in amused surprise, a hand running down the side of his box. " Hah. No kidding... With the way you came dressed, I uh.... kinda thought you were lying low at an autoshop or something. To be fair... if you came in with tassels on I might've been angrier... " He jests, somehow keeping a straight face, but-- in truth, it does... suit him, a Casino. Casinos are hard to bankrupt, for one-- But also, he always did think the ex-addison had too much flash to be just another ad guy. A part of him is a little glad he... didn't completely give that up about himself.

You know, if he decides for sure he doesn't want him dead.

That explains the now, but the past was still lingering between them like dead air. When the video player pops up, he goes stiff. With how they look around Tenna instinctively did the same, stepping a little closer, as if his size might block it out. He almost wished he stayed back.

"Yeah well... I do that, too..." he mutters about the auto work. Frankly, something he enjoyed a little more. But both kept him busy. Anything to not slide back down into the abyss of emotions he'd rather not think about.

He shakes his head slightly at all the questions. His mouth opens, closes. He's clearly struggling with how to explain it, as he barely even spoke about it at length with his post-surgery therapist. But viruses were well understood within Cyber World, he knew it would be difficult for Tenna to understand. So he mulls through his processor for a moment, digging up all the old TV lingo he'd swapped over to using during his time here. It was... fuzzy, but the recollection was there. Much of his subconscious had kept it well hidden.

That's right, they tended to use more Lightener-friendly language, given that was at least half his audience.

"Well-- There was, a thing, there..." His eyes go back and forth. Almost nervous that thing might be listening. "Viruses; they're like... a program that attaches itself ta ya body, only you can see it... It speaks ta you... This one, specifically... called itself Friend, ironically. Told me, it would give me everythin' I wanted... if I just..." He scrubs harder at his neck to the point of drawing a feather or two.

"Can we... Just... go to the T room? I feel weird talkin' bout it here..."

"My pet human, Greg, hasn't left his bed in a long time. He's just scrolling his phone all day" Greg needs enrichment. Add enrichment in his enclosure and take him on walks

"Greg has been super lethargic and sad recently for seemingly no reason" Greg need vitamins, take him outside for some vitamin D and fresh air. Perhaps a picnic

"Greg won't sleep even though he's been super lethargic" Greg needs a schedule, especially for the lights in his enclosure.

"Greg has been super distant recently and keeps crying to sad music" Humans are pack animals, he needs to hug another human and hang out. Perhaps pack bond with a rock together

"Greg has been flailing around and panicking, his breathing is way faster than it should be" Greg is overwhelmed. Take Greg out of the situation and give him time to calm down. Perhaps somewhere cozy with tea and a movie

"Greg won't do what he needs to do" Train him. Humans do great with positive reinforcement, give him little treats when he's doing good

"Greg he's been super anxious and tired, he can't seem to enjoy his days" Humans needs to move around. Give Greg something to exercise with. Things like stretching, weight lifting, walking, or even dancing will help

"Even though I've taken really good care of Greg, he still has been having issues" Greg is ill, take him to the doctor. You might need a specialist (therapist, optometrist, oncologist, etc)

as you can see, his flirting is very subtle
