Meta thought of the night brought to you by my mun's trip to airport...

Small, yapping dogs carted about in strollers: Yet another reason to push the restart button on humanity.

But killing everyone because of it? That's... why not just ignore them?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I said it was another reason why someone should. I didn't go set off a bomb to do it.

And have you ever tried to ignore those yapping things?

[youngerpetrelli]

Hmn.

I don't think you'd handle living in New York all that well...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I think I showed admirable restraint.

I like New York. Or I did, once, then. Before.

[youngerpetrelli]

Well, it's a start.

A lot of people living in a lot of apartments -- there are a lot of small yapping dogs. Some big dogs, too -- when the dog walkers come around they have everything from Wolfhounds to Yorkies... But the noise level as a whole is pretty high.

"It's a start" isn't really nearly enough positive reinforcement to get me to change my ways, Peter.

I like big dogs. Not as much as I'm finding I like cats, but still.

[youngerpetrelli]

...I didn't punch you before I said it? *hopeful smile*

I like big dogs, and cats. Some little dogs are cute, too. But not all of them.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*dry* It's a start.

I have never seen a little dog I liked. I never thought much about cats save for the ship cats, but they were always useful.

[youngerpetrelli]

Someone used that method on me once. It... served its purpose at the time, at least. *slight smile*

Some little dogs don't know they're little dogs.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I suppose I can see how that would be...

That seems to go for a lot of species.

[youngerpetrelli]

*a little distracted now, but hopeful* So... you don't really want to destroy everyone just because they annoy you, right?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*tilts his head, studying him for a long moment*

Right.

[youngerpetrelli]

*curious* Why are you looking at me like that?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*arches an eyebrow*

Like what?

[youngerpetrelli]

I'm not really sure.

*sighs* Sorry. This discussion -- about dogs and everything -- kind of reminds me of someone.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*faint frown*

Who?

[youngerpetrelli]

*softly, maybe a little sadly* Someone I... used to know. He helped teach me -- helped me learn how to control at least some of this.

He's the one I mentioned... I was losing control of everything after I regenerated the first -- well, I guess it was really the second -- time, and he punched me. I kind of remember him saying 'well, it's a start.'

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*watching him again*

Ah. I suppose that makes a bit more sense, then.

[youngerpetrelli]

It... *flatly* ...he left. They found us and he got scared and left.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*brushes fingers down his cheek, faint frown*

I'm sorry, Peter.

[youngerpetrelli]

*leans into his touch, trying not to show how sad he is*

It's not your fault at all -- you were locked up, and you certainly weren't out hunting people.

ooc: omg Claude will never forgive me for this... *continues setting him up*

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*strokes his cheek lightly*

Well, no. But it pains me to think of anyone doing that to you.

ooc: LOL. And Adam's already less than fond. Possessive boy.

[youngerpetrelli]

*soft sigh*

He didn't-- the company was-- They nearly caught us, and... He got scared. *frowns* You wouldn't want to be locked up again either, would you?

ooc: *snrk* When Claude finally finds out what Adam's been doing to Peter, that'll be interesting!

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

No. *quietly* But neither would I have left you behind.

ooc: LOL. I know. Adam's all "*eyebrow arch*"

[youngerpetrelli]

*looks up in surprise* You wouldn't? I-- *frowns* He was scared, Adam. He can't do what we can do...
