I'm unfamiliar with that name.

Is the animal you wish to rescue from the zoo also a mutant?

[glitterateur]

no I think it's just adorable

[thelasttsviet]

Would it be better with you?

[glitterateur]

well

I mean I have lots of other animals around it could play with and I'm also VERY good at snuggles

[thelasttsviet]

I don't know if it is a creature that cares about any of that.

I cannot find much about it online.

[glitterateur]

every creature cares about snuggles!!!

[thelasttsviet]

I don't.

[She's pretty sure anyway.]

[glitterateur]

what?!?!?

what about hugs??

[thelasttsviet]

Not really.

[glitterateur]

are you sure??

wait have you ever gotten a hug!?!?

[thelasttsviet]

Yes.

Many years ago.

[glitterateur]

that's your problem!!

you're super out of date with hugs

you gotta have a new one and a GOOD ONE stat!!

[thelasttsviet]

I don't see much point in it.

[glitterateur]

it makes you feel better if you're sad or even happier if you're already happy!

[thelasttsviet]

I'm not usually either of those things.

[glitterateur]

how do you feel usually?

[thelasttsviet]

[There's a delay before Shelke answers.]

Indifferent?

[glitterateur]

that sounds pretty boring honestly

you never get excited??

[thelasttsviet]

Not really.

[glitterateur]

ok

that's kind of alarming!!

we gotta fix this because honestly getting excited about stuff is the best part of life!!

[thelasttsviet]

It has a lot of downsides too.

[glitterateur]

nope!! I've been excited a lot and so far it's been great

[thelasttsviet]

Disappointment. Fear. Abandonment. Disgust.

They can all come from excitement that fails.

[glitterateur]

those can come from other places too though!!

so you can't just blame being excited about something for the bad feelings that might happen

it's not excitement's fault!!

[thelasttsviet]

Yes, they can.

[Which is why Shelke generally just tried not to feel anything.]

I do not just blame excitement.
