"Alright," Andy agreed. She grinned. "You and Eclipse are so cute together," she teased a bit.

Belle chuckled. "I could say the same of you and Sess," she teased right back. "I have to admit, it's nice to have someone I can talk to, about all the girl stuff. The guys just don't understand some things."

"That's because they're guys," Andy pointed out. "Then again, Lucivar is actually pretty good at reading my moods, most of the time, but that's probably because his character spent a lot of time around women more volatile than I am." She grinned. "And besides... Sess is the pretty one, not me."

Belle laughed at that. "Yes, same with Thomas. He's too pretty to die." She grinned in remembrance, shaking her head a little before she quoted the book. "'We're not going to die here because Thomas is too pretty to die, I'm too stubborn to die, and tomorrow is Oktoberfest and polka will never die!'"

Andy laughed.

"Butters was hysterical," she said. "That book was quite possibly one of my favorites just because of him."

Belle grinned broadly. "Poor Butters. Got dragged into that mess kicking and screaming." She chuckled. "Bob had fun though."

"Butters took it better than most people would have," Andy said. "And I think I was a bit more focused on the fact that they were riding on a dinosaur. That part just tickled my imagination and wouldn't stop."

"Ever since I got here I've wanted to find a Bob and a dinosaur and let him inhabit it. I mean, riding a dinosaur? Epic. Freaking. Win." Belle's grin was huge and slightly insane.

"I have dragons, that's close enough," Andy said. "And I don't think I'd want a Bob. Not really my thing."

Belle snorted. "You're right. Too much of a pain in the ass, not to mention all the romance novels you'd have to provide him with."

"He'd have to fight me for them," Andy retorted. "I have a soft spot for the cheap romances."

Belle nodded. "Well, you could read them then give them to him." She couldn't help but snigger at the thought. "That would be amusing."

"I think not," Andy replied. "Your definition of amusing and my definition of amusing must be different."

Belle grinned. "Okay, I meant it would be fun to watch you two fighting over cheap romance novels."

Andy rolled her eyes.

"Well, I don't have to worry about it because A: I have no such novels on me right now, and B: I don't own a Bob."

"Alas, such is life." Belle grinned. "Can you imagine having a Mouse? Or other Foo dog?"

"I have Kaelas," Andy pointed out. "He's almost as tall as I am sitting down. And I doubt a cat as big and intelligent as Kaelas would get along very well with Mouse." She blinked when she remembered something. "And I'm going to need to have a chat with him, because he likes to sleep at the foot of the bed whenever we're in a hotel for the night. I need to let him know that he may not be the only one sharing the bed with me from now on."

Belle snickered. "Oh that's going to be fun," she muttered. "I bet Kaelas would get along great with Mouse. They'd be like playmates." She grinned. "I should get a Mouse and test that theory. I've wanted a dog anyway."

"That would be interesting," Andy said. "And I would say I'm very much a cat person, but..." She trailed off, glancing over at Sess. "Yeah."

Belle laughed a little. "I like both," she said. "Depending what you like them best for. Dogs are more loyal, better companions, and listen better. Cats are better hunters, better lap warmers or neck warmers, and more entertaining to watch playing."

"Yeah, but you can't get eight cats to pull a sled through the snow," Andy pointed out teasingly. "Sorry. That was one of my favorite jokes when I was a kid. But cats listed perfectly well, and they make fine companions. I had three, before I came here."

"I've had various numbers over the years. I think the most my family had at one time was about twenty, plus some strays we fed and petted." Belle shrugged. "Plus four dogs, at one point. And a guinea pig. We're animal people."

"I think at one point we had three cats, a dog, and a rabbit," Andy said, thinking. "But the rabbit was a wild one we rescued from said cats, so we had to let him go." She grinned. "We named him Houdini because he escaped from his cage twice. Anyways, before that we had two cats and a tank of fish."

"I've always loved animals. I'm kinda surprised I haven't found one yet to come travel with me and the boys," Belle said with a little smile. "I've been toying around with the idea of finding a Mouse or some other animal from various series, but I don't know."

"I like animals, too," Andy said. "Probably why I jumped on the chance to catch Kaelas." She grinned. "Of course, I spent the first ten minutes afterwards going 'big kitty~!' before I came back to my senses."
