SPOILER!!: Cole! <3 Quote:
Originally Posted by Nordic Witch  "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."
In a way, Cole was right. Caring for a pet did provide some basic techniques as one would care for a child. However, Claudine never had a pet. Not until now, that is. “I suppose you’re right. I’ve never had a pet before. I never wanted one until now.’’ She shrugged, for once not keen enough to observe just how troubled Cole was in that moment. Still holding little Christopher, she inched her right shoulder close to Cole so that he could deposit her new rat onto it. “I’m honestly blank on names. Have you got any suggestions?’’
Cole’s question distracted her so much that she jerked her head up, crinking her neck a little in the process. The rat was now on her shoulder but she had frozen her movements so that Christopher was now still. It was rare that anyone ask her outright like that; she assumed that everyone assumed that she was the weird person. “I have a problem with touching anyone. Christopher is just a doll, not human.’’ Claudine arched an eyebrow, her gaze questioning as she wondered why Cole was taking this personally.
