"If an ape is pretty, then I might believe that." John countered coolly. "You're just like this goofy, dancing..." He paused thinking. "Neanderthal." He laughed obviously enjoying his bit of joke at Quills expense. Though the laugh was short lived and he grew silent.
"I miss her man.." John whispered into his drink, then drained his glass.
But the tiger was a worthy distraction. All the things about it was really curious. Quill's internal questions were exactly the same as John's and with his question about it talking - his eyes went wide. "Whooooaaaa." Blinking at the man he quickly looked to the tiger. "You think it can? Is that possible?" Of course it was. Quill was first to tell you one of his best mates was a raccoon.
"Nah man," John said staring at it a moment longer before snapping his head to Quill. "We're taking that one." It might have been the liquor talking, but, it was a great idea!
