[He just looks like a smartass by default so she coughs to stifle down a chuckle. Nice Try, Belmont.]
Well, don't tell that Trevor Belmont, but I might not mind too much. [What what? And before he could process that she practically told him she didn't mind catching him naked--]
Anyway, you need to be dressed because of this.
[And she turns around, lifting up a heavy panda baby that was tied to a harness to stop it from going another direction, and deposits it right into Trevor's arms.]
[So this is his first encounter with a panda in general? That would explain why he looks so surprised, even if the baby panda just paws at him for more attention. It's a good thing he doesn't have long hair, because she knows hers often gets placed into its mouth.]
I guess there has to be a first for everything! My eldest brother had many panda pets. How do you feel so far?
Because of your job and how you're always on the move? I mean, other than expenses and necessities, I had thought animals also made good hunting companions.
[Considering what he went through, she thought that a pet may have made life a much more tolerable. He was alone the whole time, a pet would love one unconditionally. Also, he might think of himself as a fuck up, but she knows that for those he cares for, he does all that he can for him. Even if it's not so perfect.]
But, I also understand not wanting to put your companion into danger as well. Pets are still living creatures, a friend. But, since we're here now, why don't you take this panda for a few days? [Wait what?]
I had a feeling. Something so strong could still lose its life, and I'm sure whatever you could've had would be loyal to you to a fault.
[There is a long pause as she considers whether or not to tell him that caring for a panda is a lot harder than a dog or cat because of particular demands. She's just really good at it because of how she had to help China care for his pandas, as did the entire family.]
It's fine, I'll take you through it. [She pats the little on in his arms.] You'll be an expert in no time. If you can take down a legion of demons, the challenge of caring for a pet is no different. Both equally painful. [Wow could she make parenthood sound any more appealing?] Trust me, as a Dominant, you'll be fine.
Thankfully, this fellow is social enough, and also mild-mannered so it looks like it already likes you.
Oh, you'd know. [Considering how happy and docile it is in Trevor's arms right now, practically making noises at how his pampering is THE BEST, she can say, safe. Trevor might as well share in the load when it comes to caring for the cub.
Please, look at those eyes staring up at him. Friend, please.]
Always better than caring for a teenager. [She lifts her bag.] Thankfully, I am prepared. But we're going to need more bamboo. [A mini garden's worth.]
Let's get your new friend accustomed to your house. A tour?
I can't believe you managed to find out about my master plan. But I'm sure you know nothing about my second plan, which is to snoop.
[This is the part where she would make a fake evil laugh...if that was something she was even good at. So he should just imagine it.
So she follows, as he has a cute panda to start playing with him.] Oh! It's very lovely and cozy, I could picture coming to visit all the time just to relax. [Wow.]
You leave the bamboo to me. It'll be easier for me to do at first while you're still getting used to our friend.
[Don't worry, she has full confidence that he'll be able to do it right. It's by how genuine he is.]

What do you mean?
...
Oh.
No, no need to tell me, I get it.
[Which is why he would hear a knock right now. Which is followed by her carefully calling out:]
Are you dressed?
Action;
[That's what he says as he opens the door, trying not to look like too much of a smartass.
It doesn't work too well.]

[Okay, so it turns out that a theoretical baby panda and a literal baby panda are two different things.
Trevor isn't going to drop it or anything, but he does just sort of stare at the fluffy thing for a while like he's a bit surprised it exists.]
...you know, I've only ever seen these in pictures.

[He glances down at the panda, then back to Sen -- with a slightly sheepish smile.]
I've never even had a pet, Sen.
no subject
[This here? Is really cute. He's cute, him with a panda is cute, and she can't help but smile at this.
Wait.]
You never had a pet? [Thinking back to his memories, she could understand why, but.] Then...did you ever wanted one?
no subject
[Which is definitely not a 'no'. Something that might actually care about him no matter how much of a fuck up he was? That was appealing.
But between moving and his drinking problem -- no, he'd known it was a bad idea.]

Don't know the first thing about taking care of a panda.

[Not that Trevor cares or anything, just asking for a friend.
He's definitely not scritching the belly of the creature right now, enjoying the feeling of the soft fur under his fingertips.]
And -- great, you make it sound like such a treat to take care of.

[But he will take her on a tour of the house anyway, panda in tow.]
-- I don't now where to get bamboo.
[Also, he only ever took care of himself as a teenager. She's right, though -- it's kind of awful.]
