“Interesting.” Doesn’t fancy explaining himself further. Instead, he lends an ear to her train of thought as it puzzled him; itching at the back of his mind. Growing curious, he couldn’t quite wrap his head around what she was saying. Ivan caught himself taking it much too seriously. Eri was not the maze of mind worth picking; however, there was something about her troubles bringing him in. Leaving his cloudy thoughts he came back to current moment they shared. His features pinched into a serious expression. “Depends, I’ll need to see the dog before I can make any decisions.” Gesturing her in they met in the middle; giving one long hard look at the friendly canine paused in a state of slobbery happiness. Tilting his gaze away, Ivan hid his judgment within the tea cup. A steam rising from the cup, keeping that smugness to himself. The quiet he put between them giving enough time for the criticism to fall off the words; steeped in thought till he was ready. “Yes, those sure are some nice puppy pixels. Reminds me of... What are those-- things-- they’re small, circular, have a little critter in there, and they can shit themselves to death. Now those were fun. What happened to those?” A tamagotchi. Oh, just the thought of all the time he wasted on that pixel granted him somewhat of an understanding. “Is that one of those? It looks different. I’m curious how this new version upsets you so much. Tell that truth.”
