King's Row
Seraph's house.
Neph looked up from playing with Spike, seeing an exhausted Noelle and Gir walk in. "You two look like shit, hard day heroing?"
Gir looks away, but Noelle squeezed her shoulder. "Her first therapy session, Vanguard offer it to all Praetorians, to deal with the temporal slip and the stress of a new world, Gir also has some issues to get over, don't you Gir."
The Olympiad Guard nodded. "My brain is broken, the Therapist thinks it is a detach, as my body was grown fast, the brain struggles to keep up with all the input."
Neph's face softens. "Sounds like you need something to take your mind off it, like a therapy pet."
Noelle gasps. "Oh I could never afford to get government clearance on a companion animal."
Neph blinks, them remembers, Praetoria was extremely strick on animal ownership. "Guys, this is Paragon, you don't need to fill in government paperwork to own a pet."
Gir and Noelle look at each other, the lightbulb clicking on.
"But how would we even star-" Gir started, but was cut off as Caroline ran into the room.
"Wegoingpetshoping?" The teen said breathlessly, before grabbing Gir and Noelle's hands and dragging them to the door.
"Well that solves that Spike." The cyborg chuckles as they leave, patting the Bulldogs head.
Atlas Park
Spencer's pet emporium.
Caroline practically bounced as they entered the pet store. "I love this place, it is like a mini zoo, all sorts of pets from around the world, even digital pets for the tech savvy."
Gir and Noelle follow her, looking around in awe, there where more animals here than the two had ever seen in Pretoria combined, animals hooting, hollering and cheeping.
"It... It is a bit loud." Noelle said, rubbing her ears.
Caroline waved a hand. "That's just the animals asking you to take them home, now I'll let you wander and see what you like."
Gir found herself gravitating to the reptile and amphibian section, marvelling at the root of colours on display, in her short time being alive, she had never seen anything like this.
Meanwhile Noelle was examining the birds, smiling at their songs as they flittered in their cages.
Caroline smiled as they wandered off, the look of wonder on their faces amazing. Eventually both came back. "So.... Find something you like?" Caroline asked, both women nodding. "Good, I'll find a staff member to help us."
King's Row
Seraph's House.
Neph was still on the couch, Spike now asleep on her lap as she heard them come back, Gir near hidden behind a glass enclosure and supplies, while Noelle carried a simple box. "What ya get?" She asked.
Gir giggles. "I got a Packman frog, he is fat and full of love." She declared proudly before heading to her room.
Noelle blushed and held out.... A Roomba.
Neph tilted her head. "If you wanted a cleaning bot... Why not just get a clockwork? There are tons of them now with nothing better to do."
Noelle frowned. "Neph that is very insensitive, I work with several clockwork, it would be rude to own one." She says before carefully applying a pair of googly eyes to the Roomba.
Neph shrugged. "Kay, not exactly what I call a pet, but you do you."
Noelle nods and heads to her apartment, humming as she carries the Roomba home.
