[ He notices that the usual spunk isn't present, and he definitely understands why, but this leaves him in the somewhat awkward position of not being sure of what to do. He's not good at dealing with people when they're feeling down and he knows it. ...Maybe offering her a distraction will help? ]

Do you want to look at pictures of my dog?

[ Makkachin is cute. Girls love cute things. ]

Yes.

[ Viktor moves a chair next to her and sits down, holding the phone between himself and Orihime and pulls up a picture of Yuuri playing with Makkachin. ]

That's Yuuri, by the way.

He's the perfect size for cuddling with. And for knocking someone over, if he really wants to and you're not careful. [ ... ] The day this picture was taken, he went to sleep in Yuuri's bed instead of mine. That traitor.

[ It's affectionate, though; Makkachin is his furry son and he's actually glad he likes Yuuri enough to sleep in his bed. ]

First my heart, then my dog's... There's no end to Yuuri's greed.

[ He doesn't mind one bit though, his voice warm with fondness. ]

I think I'm the lucky one. Yuuri is an incredible person and I almost can't believe he's never dated anyone before.

[ How did nobody see what a great catch he is?? ]

Yes. We must be soulmates. [ ... ] I hope he's doing okay without me.
