<sub>[There's a tiny ball of orange fluff sitting on the seat beside the window near where Dirk is standing, who glances down at the cat momentarily before deciding she's not interested.

Dirk, on the other hand, shrieks and picks up the cat. WHY SO CUTE, CAT. That's also when he looks up at Rose, and for a moment he's confused.]</sub>

You look kinda like Roxy. And Roxy's auntie.

[While Mutie tried to get Dirk's attention by batting at him, Rose kept her eyes on the other.

Ah. Of course she could figure out who this one is.]

That's because we're related. You must be Dirk Strider. [She never met him in person, but figuring out Striders were her specialty.]

[givesyouaboner]

Oh! Are you Rosie? You gotta be, because that's the only other kid Roxy talks about forever.

But yeah, that's me. How'd you know?

[seeringlight]

Rose Lalonde. [No one is allowed to call her Rosie...but apparently Roxy.] I wasn't quite aware that she spoke so highly of me. I'm only a few years older than her.

I've heard of you from her and we spoke briefly, although not in person. You kind of give off a Strider feel, so I just assumed.

_{[This might be the best compliment he's ever received.]}

Yeah, sometimes I forget to turn my swag off.

[seeringlight]

[It isn't a compliment, Dirk.]

Oh, of course. I'm almost swooning trying to handle the amount of "swag" you're letting off right now.

[givesyouaboner]

Try to keep it under control. I know it's hot, but I'm off-limits until I'm thirteen.

[seeringlight]

How dare I try to gain the affections of someone that is merely three years younger. I am obviously robbing the cradle.

I'll be sure to keep myself under control. [She gives him a wink. She is still a charmer, after all.]

[givesyouaboner]

Seriously. What on earth are you thinking?

Oh, good. I would hate to succumb to womanly wiles.

[seeringlight]

I wasn't thinking. I have ran in blind and now I must pay up to my mistakes.

Oh yes. You best be careful. No one survives my snatches once I've ensnared them in my clutches.
