[M] Unexpected Deadly Romance (Me and NoviDome)

[NoviDome]

Tom smiled a little. "Hmm... I'm going to have to go with quokkas. I've never seen one but they look so cute in pictures."

[Sparkz]

"Oooo good choice! I prefer polar bears... well... any sort of bears really. But polar bears are my favorite. They are so majestic and yet friendly."

[NoviDome]

Tom grinned. "Friendly, yeah? Have you met one?"

[Sparkz]

"Well, the one I met. We did a class trip to a school in undergrad and this one polar bear was following us around as we walked past and it was trying to play." They said with a chuckle.

[NoviDome]

Tom grinned. "That does sound like one friendly polar bear!"

[Sparkz]

They nodded. "It truly was! He was a good bear, I'm sure."

[NoviDome]

Tom laughed a little and took a sip of his drink. "You know, this is really good," he said, pointing at his drink. "Thank you for suggesting it."

[Sparkz]

Robin grinned. "I love a good chai." They said. "But I'm glad that you like it!"

[NoviDome]

Tom smiled and took a good long sip. He found his mind still wandering back to his parents, and it frustrated him. "So uhm... do you have any hobbies?" he asked, hoping to keep himself distracted.

[Sparkz]

"Well, I volunteer at the local animal shelter when I can but I like to play video games. The RPG kinds where you go on fantastic adventures in new worlds." They smiled. "It's a lot of fun. What about you, Tom?"
