[ Kelsier brought him a rabbit.

A strange-looking rabbit with fur around its face. And then Kelsier left.

Zane stares at the rabbit.

It stares back.

He picks up his communicator, finally, breaking a long silence. He doesn't want to go through the process of apologizing to people. He wants them to be apologized to, but he can't... he doesn't know how to begin.

So: ]

What do you do with a rabbit


[ deck spam ]

[ ...and now he is hunting. On deck. For the hidden rabbit supplies. Damn it Kelsier. ]

Okay. I can take her if you don't want to keep her later on.

What kind of set up do you have for her?

[godsays]

My room is... open. It's mostly stone, not wood. There's room.

[ He sits down on the edge of a bench, letting the rabbit settle onto his lap. ]

That should be plenty. Give her a spot in a corner or under something. She'll feel more secure her first night.

[he crouches down to look at the bunny.]

They sometimes dig borrows out in the wild. They like having a private spot.

[pause]

Any chance she's pregnant, do you know?

[ He'd given her a little bit of fresh straw to munch on, since it seemed to be her favorite, and she's more or less done with that now. Other than that, she returns Arkin's gaze with one of her own, equally, it seems, assessing. ]

...no, I don't.

[ shit she could be pregnant ]

I did lean two pillows together... like a tent. She liked that. She doesn't like the hutch.

There's a reason people say 'multiplying like rabbits.' If she is, you'll know soon enough.

[He smiles a bit.]

She's smart, then. I wouldn't want to live in a cage either.

[godsays]

I don't want to put anything in a cage.

...how soon would I know?

SPAM

[themissingpiece]

Good.

About a month. Couple weeks you might be able to feel something in her belly if she is.

[godsays]

I'll check. [ And he will. ]
