[ Kate never had a dog growing up either, part of why she's latched on to Lucky hard enough to consider him (at least partly) hers instead of letting Clint fumble around and do a well-intentioned but sometimes half-assed job dog-rearing. Dogs can't live on pizza alone no matter how much they enjoy it. At least not cheap pizza.
Claire goes on and she pulls a bit of a face at the top of Diablo's head, not sure for a moment whether she ought to be kind of offended or not. She's more confused, ultimately, and Claire doesn't seem to mean it meanly or about her at all, so whatever. She plays with puppy paws more, and ruffles his sides. ]
You're not a cold hearted bastard, are you buddy? No way. I mean I cared when Aidan left, I guess [ this directed obviously at Claire instead of the dog ] but he just went home and it was probably for the best that ended when it did anyway. Johanna.... [ She just shrugs. Who the hell knows how that's going to end.
She's more than capable of reading between the lines, but doesn't comment directly, at least not right away. Instead she says, vaguely but because she's not sure how to explain more than because she's trying to avoid the subject: ] None of mine have ended well but they were...complicated.
Which makes it sound like I've had some long string of boyfriends instead of really just two but they were both kind of disasters. Okay at the time and sort of-- important in some way, but never going to work out.
The fun part is the best part, though. As T-Rex says, "feelings are boring, kissing is awesome."
