*Vorim padded toward him with an umbrella, his tail curled around himself to keep it within the object’s protection. He waved to Quincy as he got close, moving under the tarp.*
“Hey there love. I like the rain too but sometimes I just don’t get you.”
*He says, shaking his head a little.*

Q waved in return as he munched on his food, taking his time to work the mouthful. A few crumbs fell from his mouth as he swallowed, taking a swig of his drink to wash it down. "Hello dearest Vorim, what brings you out on this lovely day?" Q asked in response, smiling, well, smiling foxishly.

“Just out running errands while you enjoyed the weather.” *He folded the umbrella up and sat down next to Quincy. He eyed his book with interest, he was learning how to read English and was looking for words he knew.*
-
"Errands eh? I thought we went shopping for stuff yesterday. Are we out of milk that fast?" Q asked, blinking. "Anywho, how's the english-learning going?" he asks, scooting close to Vorim.
-
“Oh, well, they’re holiday errands. And learning to read English is going well, I think I know quite a few words now. What are you reading?”
-
"Oh this? Just a trade ledger logging shipments of metals between Phobos and Mars. Nothing too special." Q said with a shrug as he flipped through the old pages. "I found it among some wreckage in the woods, figured I'd hold onto it."
-
“Do you mind if I try reading a little?” *He asks, looking at its pages with interest.*
-
"Feel free. Its mostly just numbers though." Q said as he handed the ledger over, taking a chug from his eggnog.
-
*He tried to read for a while, but got bored quickly and handed it back with a smile.* “You confuse me sometimes, Quincy. But I like that.”
-
Quinny smiled as he took the book back, closing it as he leaned over to give Vorim a hug. "Aww, thanks hun." he said sweetly. His mood always improved dramatically whenever he was around Vorim. "So, care for some eggnod?" Q asked as he sloshed his mug around, waggling his eyebrows. The foamy beverage sloshed around, up, and back down into the cup, only a little of it spilling.
-
“Would love some.” *He said as he nuzzled Quincy, smiling happily.* “I’ve never had any but from how much you’re drinking it must be good.”
