"Nah, I'm on a strictly 'no fairy' diet," he said, starting off quite serious, but unable to keep from breaking into that big ol' grin of his. Also, it was difficult to keep that 'srs biznizz' air about you when you were bouncing on the balls of your feet. Which Toby was, of course, doing right now.

Toby nodded along as Dot basically updated him on THINGS, and he absolutely did not miss the part when she called him cute. Toby wasn't one to blush (it had happened perhaps three or four times in his LIFE), but he certainly met that statement with a sheepish sort of grin. "I'm-" he started, fully intending to assure Dot that he didn't think he was cute, but decided to just... take it. Take the compliment with a big smile, sure. He could be cute sometimes, apparently, in the 'puppy cute' kind of way, that is. So he changed tack.

"I think that absolutely means you're growing up," Toby replied, and this time he really was being serious. Even with the bouncing. Srs bouncing. "My summer was good. Pretty eventful. My dad covered me in glitter and stuck me to the ceiling at one point; it was super fun. I got a puppy, too." Puppies were awesome.

"I think their wings would get stuck in your teeth, which seems very unpleasant," Dot wasn't sure at what point it happened, but Toby was bouncing, and now she was bouncing too. In time with him. Up and down, just on the balls of her feet. It felt a bit like dancing, the keeping time in her body, and she pirouetted in time because she could.

He was making cute faces, and the dancing and bouncing kept Dot from reaching out to see if he was really really real. And talking to her like she was a real person. Telling her stories from his life. About puppies and glitter and his summer. It made her feel... generally... magnificent.

And she was growing up too.

"I like glitter, but I don't think I'd like the ceiling. My dad gave me his last name, so that makes me happy. But a PUPPY, though. A puppy." She did bounce at that, reaching out to catch hold of Toby's arm and give it a swing. It was EXCITING, ok? "What do you call it? What's it look like? Do you sleep with it? Is it SO cute? Aren't you so sad leaving it at home?"
