The Snakette bit her lip again and tried not to flinch away lest Christopher was dropped.
One hand under his little body, one hand under his head. Wow. Look at her. She was actually doing this. The doll was not too heavy, not too light and Claudine was comfortable with his weight. She brought him closer to her chest, all the while looking down at his little face; he was looking up at her with what seemed like interest. “So far, this is easy.’’ Carefully, she began to rock the baby in her arms. At least he wasn’t crying.
Cole had the rats with him now? All of them? “Do you take them to classes?” she wondered as they were each studied. Which did she want? They were all kind of cute. However, her gaze stopped at the one closest to Cole’s ear- the brown one. And Claudine just knew immediately that was the rat for her. “The one by your ear. Mr. Brown Fur. Does he have a real name already?”[/COLOR] "If you can care for a pet then you have experience." Cole pointed out unhelpfully. It was somewhat true though if you thought about it. If Claudine could care for a pet then she'd do well with a baby doll too. Cole was positive of it. When she shifted closer to him he noted again how very, very careful she was to not make any physical contact him unless it was absolutely unavoidable. They we're friends weren't they? Cole didn't get it. Did he smell funny? Friends gave each other hugs and pats on the shoulder all the time but Claudine wasn't like that. She always had a safety distance to him. He was confused and troubled by it. How to bring it up to her without starting an argument he was unsure.
Cole let his arms drop as he watched Claudine get a feel for how to hold baby Christopher without dropping him. She even brought him close to her chest as she started to rock him in her arms. Appearing like she was totally okay with it. It irked him and made Cole blurt out something he hadn't exactly planned to say in the first place to Claudine. "Why can you touch a doll without problem, but you flinch away from me like I'm toxic?"
Raising his hands to scratch his rats affectionately and sooth his hot feelings he said "I only bring one of them along when it's allowed like to COMC classes." In other classes like astronomy he made sure that his rat's we're in his dorm. He didn't want to upset Professor Sandhu again. Ignoring the little sting he felt when Claudine picked out the rat she wanted Cole lifted it down from its place on his shoulder and held him out to her. "No, he doesn't have a name yet. You can name him."
