Nadine had barely opened her mouth when he crawled through the blankets, and she tried to remain appropriately indignant about the whole thing. "Watching things is different," she said with a pout, though at the same time she searched for and clicked an hour-long compilation of cat videos that claimed to be 'the funniest'. Whether they would be even funnier when set to the latest hits had yet to be seen. "It's the aggressive avoidance that I don't like." She sank her elbow into a cushion and propped her head on her hand.
"It's a metaphor," she said, "or a symbol, or something." She leaned a little, but didn't press herself into him despite the temptation. She didn't want to scare him off. Being a vicious and terrifying poodle. He was like a frightened baby deer. A grumpy baby deer. Something skittish enough to try and flee a poodle trying to play. "The dead cat symbolizes why you don't like it when I do stuff, and then pretend you don't care so you don't have to tell me." She sniffled, but it was ruined when a cat did a backflip off a printer and she snorted. She rubbed her nose and turned her head, clearing her throat to try and hide her amusement. She was supposed to be tragic, goddamn it.
She bit her lip as his fingers found her hem, and her tail was almost certainly trying to escape the sweater. "You seemed mad," she said. "And you didn't seem very nice, either." She paused, a tiny frown as she considered the statement. "Well, you were nice. And then you weren't. And before that you were also not nice. You're sending a lot of mixed signals, is what I'm saying, here."
Her shoulder fell back so she could look at him, not quite twisting enough to be laying on her back. "What?" Her voice was pitched high with incredulity. "Who doesn't have Netflix? Other than me. But I don't have shoes, even, so I think I get a pass. How do you watch… stuff?"
