[ Without looking up from Uri, and delivered sarcastically: ] No, I'm not serious, and there's a bomb about to go off at any moment and shove a pie into your face.

[ She isn't sure if the pink and white stuffed panda plush is him, because she didn't expect a gift from him, but if it is...honestly, Gokudera. Was there no girl he could go to for advice?

Her smile brightens as Uri shows favorable signs of acceptance. Don't mind her as she turns her hand up to scratch the cat's chin. ] You are a beautiful little fellow, aren't you? I've never seen a cat like you...

[59]

Ha. [ With the same degree of sarcasm. On a list of things not to joke about with people who regularly conceal dynamite all over their body... ] Wouldn't joke about that if I were you...

[ And hey, excuse you, he had someone better to consult for advice: her dad.

In any case, Gokudera passes the package between his hands, tries to judge the contents by its weight, how it reacts to pressure... It's seriously not a joke... seriously... But what the hell could it be? It's not like he's going to open it right now. That'd be embarrassing. This whole thing is embarrassing. This isn't the first time he's gotten weird gifts from girls (or from gangs— same difference?), but on his birthday... ]

That's 'cause he's not a cat. [ And beautiful— ha, he has to snort without any sarcasm at that one. But it provides a welcome distraction from the fact that he's still standing kind of (really) awkwardly in the doorway... ] He's a weapon, so don't fall for that cute shit...

[ If Kaede ever finds out that he regularly conceals explosives on his person, she will rethink this friendship and weigh its pros & cons. She rolls her eyes at his warning. Surely he isn't taking her joke seriously...

...or is he giving her a subliminal message??

She looks up at him as he feels out the package, ready to be sarcastic once more at his investigation of her gift, but then she raises an eyebrow at his statement regarding Uri. ]

He's a weapon? Wow, your mafia, gang, whatever is that serious? That a cat is your weapon? [ She pauses for a moment as she goes back to petting Uri. ] I'd expect a dog with your attitude.

Of course it's serious! [ Who do you take him for, huh?! ] But nah, dogs are more Yamamoto's style... I ended up with that brat. Not sure how, exactly— I got him from my future self, technically... [ he watches Uri for a moment as the cat mews happily and rolls down onto his back, tail swishing, paws in the air... Alright, show-off, that's enough, okay... ] ... he's much more useful in battle.

[ Someone who simply has aspirations of being the right-hand man of a potential mafia leader, not the actual reality that Gokudera may very well be the right-hand man of an upcoming mafia leader. What the heeeeeeeck.

But who cares about Gokudera when Uri is being utterly adorable. She laughs lightly and gives him a belly rub with both hands. She is memorizing his look to find out what breed he is later. ]

I'm sure he is. Maybe I'll get to see you two fight together one day.

[ And after a few more good belly rubs and scratches, she gives Uri one final scratch behind the ears before standing up straight. ] Anyway, I need to go have my afternoon walk with my dog, so I'll see you at school tomorrow. And you better not blow up that gift!
