[A paw shake!! Goodness. Ochako bites her bottom lip, trying very hard not to laugh, while Busta... obligingly investigates this proffered finger. Foe? No. Friend? Sure! He's a very, very friendly bun, so after a few seconds of sniffing he pulls back and sits up the slightest bit higher.]
Oh— [She blinks down at her pet, smiling warmly.] I think he's saying that it's good to meet you, too! And that you can pet him. He likes to be scratched between his ears.
[ Oh, come on, don't laugh at him, Ochako! He's never been around pets before-- and he's awkward enough around people!!
And while he does smile fondly when the bunny doesn't seem to reject him, the expression is swiftly replaced with mild surprise at Ochako's suggestion. ]
O-oh, right..!
[ So he leans in closer again, lifting a single finger before slowly moving for the top of Busta's head. He starts with circular movements, slow but gentle, as though testing the waters, before going for the full scratch. Is he doing a good job, is he hurting the bunny, please tell him he's not hurting the bunny... ]
[Busta is... THRILLED! He stays still for a moment, savoring the scratching, before he sinks a bit lower in the basket and slowly closes his eyes. This is the life.]
Is he going to sleep?
[She all but whispers this as she leans down, trying to get a better look at this lazy bun. He is indeed drifting off to dreamland, nose still twitching. Oh no... this is all so cute...]
He is! That means he really likes you, Akechi-kun. [She glances up at him, beaming.] I knew he would.
[ He looks up as well, breathing out a small sigh of relief at Ochako's conclusion. He did it, he pet the bunny!! ]
Is that so? I'm really glad...!
[ And while not quite a beam like Ochako's, his smile is real, open and genuine, albeit a little surprised. That was a lot easier than he thought it would, really. Maybe he should get a pet of his own, one of these days... ]
Ah, but, shouldn't we be keeping it quiet, then? It would be rude to wake Busta-chan up...
