[At first, all that can be heard is the low, muffled sounds of talking and utensils clicking against plates in a restaurant. That's in the background; Walter himself has yet to order and thus sits in silence, waiting. Within a minute or two, a familiar waitress approaches and he shifts, moving to put the communicator away.]

Hello! . . . am I interrupting?

What?

Isn't it on?

[Walter looks at "it," and only then does he realize that the communicator in his grasp is indeed on. Perhaps misinterpreting his silence, there's a not so subtle mirth behind the waitress' voice.]

I'll come back later. Please don't be shy!

Wait . . .

[The communicator picks up on her fading footsteps. Following a pregnant pause, Walter goes to turn the device off.]

( ooc: This is a joint post in which Chibiterasu (sonlight) will jack most, if not all, threads. There's a good likelihood that he'll switch to the video function, being very eager to show off what he learned about the SFC. )

[ rkngkrngkrng she is just. going to smile so big right now! ]

You're so cute, too! How do you manage it, looks and brains? Ahhh, I wish I could just pet you right now!

[ After another second of this, it occurs to him that their "conversation" is completely irrelevant to him. With that single thought, he turns his attention back to the communicator.

And turns it off.

They can carry on, of course. ]

Woo? [Hold up a sec missy, we lost your boyfriend! It's cool, Chibi will contact him.

A TEXT MESSAGE will flash on Walter's screen (and everyone else's, because Chibi does not know how to filter).]

??? ????????

[...It contains the only symbol Chibi recognizes the question mark is universal, okay.]

[ that is so cute. oh my goodness this little puppy is the cutest thing. Kohaku can't contain her giggles as she receives the text, too. ]

[ Walter, for the most part, was doing fine and dandy (enough) after hanging up when the waitress returned. It would've continued to have been so until the communicator made a noise as he was about to speak. The waitress giggled and left without taking his order.

Again.

Needless to say, Walter doesn't look all too pleased when he returns to the conversation. ]

Stop sending needless messages.

[Chibi just huffs at the screen, clearly proud of himself for being able to bring Walter back into the conversation.]

Awww, he's just being a mister grumpypants, little guy. He'll get over it.

[ nonchalant wave, yep. ]

[ This is annoying. She annoys him. In his otherwise calm tone, he snaps, ]

What do you want?

[sonlight]

[Whoa! Chibi jumps back from the communicator, a little startled at the sudden snap.]

Woof! [There's no need to be so snippy, bro!]

Hey, No-name. You don't happen to speak puppy, do you?

[ yep, still melting at the cuuuuute. and wishing she knew what the little guy was saying. ]

[asea]

[ . . . "speak puppy." ]

What makes you think it's saying anything?

[ It could just be making sounds. Like a wolf. Actions speak louder than words, anyway. ]

[Chibi takes this opportunity to grin mysteriously at them, very much used to people assuming he has nothing to say.]

[spiria]

He's got to have something to say! Why else would he want you to rejoin the conversation after you left so rudely?

[ bicker more, you two. bicker more. ]

I'm sure he'd find that rude, you know. Assuming he has nothing to say ... of course he's got something to say.

[ Goodness, woman. Allow him to rephrase that flatly: ]

If you can't tell by its actions alone, then there's no point.

[ . . . except he has trouble understanding the pup half the time, himself. ]
