They wanted to play? All they did was get my clothes wet!
[Eridan lifts his arm out towards Cain to be able to take his hand with his own until he notices something stick its head out from underneath the water in the pond he was in, the only pet that hadn't swam away completely after Eridan fell his way in. That head, why did it seem so --
Suddenly, he gets shot in the face with a jet of water from its snout, the little creature getting its revenge on him almost landing on it when he had fallen in. There's a pause, that moment where you just know Eridan is about to ragequit over getting a pet at all now...
Except it's not just his face that's wet, his eyes seem to do so as well. Are those -- Tears of happiness? Immediately, Eridan throws his arms out towards it so that he can scoop it right into his arms.] You -- You look just like him, almost! You're just a lot smaller and more colorful but you look just like him! My lusus!
