That’s how she’s gonna play it, huh? Well TT might know a thing or two about, erm… ‘persuading’ you… but you worked retail! You can handle an ultimatum!

That’s fine, you shrug with a cool, confident tone, hell, she and Volka can have as many sleepovers as they want!

“Oh-ho, is that right?” Scoffs Tzah-Tzie as she grins at you from her cage, “Hear that, Volka? As many as we like~”

“A-as many as we… l-like!?” She repeats, trembling like a leaf in a storm, “A-amazing food… sleepovers with my friends… this…”

Oh jeez, she’s crying...

“This is… th-the greatest day… e-ever…” The Skog bawls, each sob shaking TT at her side! “C-can… can Anton come too?”

“No.”

“Oh…” Volka stammers as she quickly regains her smile and momentum, “W-well that’s okay…”

“Yes… yes, it’s VERY okay, isn’t it?” Asks Tzah-Tzie as a delicate, but haughty laugh escapes her lips! “Isn’t it, Anton?”

You meet her saccharine smile with one of your own! Sounds great, you snicker, I mean… she won’t get her pre-bedtime scritches…

The Durher’s smile dips.

And Volka can give her those belly rubs she likes, right? She’s not gonna be too rough?

“Leave ‘em ta’ me, Rook!” Volka grins, puffing out her chest as horror spreads across Tzah-Tzie’s face!

Oh, and those nappy parts in her hair and tail… Volka won’t accidentally tug on anything too hard, right?

“Course I won’t!” The Skog boasts, “Rarely use a comb myself, but Skog hair’s pretty much the same as Durher fuzz, ain’t it?”

“A-Anton…” Stammers the Spinner, the poor girl’s face pressed up against the door to her cage like a kitten in a shelter, “Sweetheart~I… I just had a wonderful idea about how we can make you look REALLY heroic-”

And y’know what, Volka? You’re feeling lucky... what say we hit up the LEISURE CART?

“Hey, alright!” She replies, the Skog grinning from ear-to-ear! “Wow… everything’s turnin’ up Volka today! What’cha think, TT?”

About half an hour of TT bodyslamming her cage later, but once she’s worn herself out you head out to have some FUN!
