Walter Girl B's Room of Scientific Discovery and Kitty-Cat Cuteness

The room that Brianna has taken within the boarding house is a smallish bedroom located on the second floor, tucked out of sight and generally unnoticed by all. She keeps it tidy at all times, as Brianna prefers to keep things in their proper places, but with a happy cat bounding from here to there at times, it can sometimes get a little out of sorts.

Though Brianna can often be found more down in the workshop or attending to the automatons she's been charged with taking care of, there are moments of downtime in which she can be tracked down her lonely little room.

Part of him didn't want to leave her side, but another felt it would be for the best; no distraction left for her so she could change out of the grass stained dress and into something else. It'd bring up too many questions if she was still wearing it- Not to mention from Paige if the other Walter Girl saw it on her.

However, he couldn't help but steal another kiss from those smiling blue lips after she had settled, letting it linger for a moment or two before he stood back straight with a smile of his own.

"Look forward to another one sometime," even if it didn't end like this one. It took a bit before he actually left her room as well with a goodnight, door closed behind him again.

"What th' heck even happened?"

Oh, not even a step away from the Walter Girl's door and there was a curious Rabbit standing there, confronting his brother while giving a curious peer upwards.

The Spine just looked way too damn smiley. Not to mention the grass that hadn't been brushed away from the back of his clothing and the way B had looked when she'd arrived back home in his arms. The grass stains, the blushing, the coziness.

That was no normal date. "Whatcha d-d-do? I want th' details, Spine!"

Someone was in too good of a mood to even be bothered by Rabbit, glancing over his brother--

Did that smile of his just turn a little smugger? Just by a twitch at the corner of his mouth tugging once side of those black tinted lips a little higher on the side. It might have. "Just had a really nice date out with Brianna. That's all Rabbit.

"Ain't nothin' else you need to know." Already heading for the stairs to go up to his room, whisps of steam curling from vents.

That twitch of a grin more smug was certainly not unnoticed by Rabbit, who immediately hopped after his brother without pause, those heavy feet of his thudding along the floor before a set of slim copper fingers were gripping at The Spine's wrist.

Nope! Not going anywhere until you spill the details.

"Yer hidin' stuff from me! Yer big brother! After everythin' I've ever d-d-d-d-dd-done t' help ya!" Tug tug tug.

"C'mon, at least whisper t' me." .../Ya can even just tell me over wifi, I promise I won't t-tell anyone!/

"Just a little dancin', Rabbit."

His brother would find himself tugged close if he wasn't going to let go, hauling him right up those stairs with him. This mood was just too good to get irritated, which was something pretty damn new. Wasn't it?

Just a little dancing, huh. "Real nice evenin' out without any trouble." Details without the detail.

The Spine's mood was far too good to just be the simple effect of an evening of dancing with a pretty girl, no matter what the silver automaton was saying right to his brother's face. Nope, Rabbit wasn't buying it for a single moment, not with the way the younger 'bot was just so casually dragging the elder along with him.

Rabbit shot The Spine a scandalized look the moment they mounted the final step.

"Ya g-g-got laid, didn't you?!" Oops, use your indoor voice, Rabbit, everyone on the second floor probably heard that.

Once he finally managed to pry his wrist free of his older brother's grip, Rabbit would be getting a firm pat on the shoulder. Even that hadn't wiped the smug grin off of The Spine's face. That smug, smug grin.

"G'night, Rabbit."

Off he went for his room, that smile not one faltering.

That was the sound of older brother stomping his heavy feet on the ground, huffing steam into the air, and throwing a five-year old quality tantrum

"Ya c-c-can't just walk away from me, ya big jerk! T-t-tell me! S-Spine? Hey Spine?!"

Oh, this meant war.

"It ain't hallway talk!"

Called from near his door-- that could almost be taken for an invitation to invade his space, couldn't it? Rabbit could have his tantrum, though. He'd just had a very wonderful night with a very special woman that he loved.

"I'll s-s-show ya hallway t-talk right here with my fis--Wait what?" Well, that was certainly one way to steal the literal steam out of Rabbit's fit, the 'bot standing frozen there behind his brother with one angry fist paused in mid-shake, that expression of irritation slipping away in an instant to leave behind something much more bewildered.

A beat passed, those ancient processors of Rabbit's whirrrrring in struggle to keep up.

But then there was a shuffling of heavy feet as the copper 'bot rushed across the hallway to slip into his brother's room--That had been an invitation, right?--kicking the door shut behind him before those blue and green glowing lights were focused on The Spine.

"That mean ya gonna spill?"

It was probably a good thing his counterpart of a room mate was likely wandering the lower hallways of the house. Maybe doing something else; either way it was just them in the room.

"Y'know it ain't proper to kiss and tell, Rabbit." That smug grin was still there, even as Spine set his hat over the post at the foot of the bed, vest being unbuttoned before he sat back in his arm chair. The automaton looked far more relaxed than ever. "No details, but it's a date I'm gonna remember for a real long time."

Dear robut lord, help us.

Rabbit wanted details, absolutely hated not knowing anything that was purposely being withheld from him, but that stance, that answer, that goddamn smug smile... It was all the copper 'bot needed for confirmation that his brother had done the deed with Miss B, wasn't it? Had his first taste (haha) of just how truly satisfying these robot/human relationships could really be for both involved.

The Spine was getting a brotherly pat on the shoulder for that affirmation, Rabbit clanking forward to close that distance and stand there beside his seated brother, his look of blank confusion slipping away to a more prideful sort of crook to that lopsided mouth. Big brother was proud. So very proud.

"Ah, real good date, huh? An' ya, uh, had lots o' fun, did ya?"

Because really, as much as Rabbit did love to torment and tease his brother, nothing made the 'bot happier than to see the positive effects a reliable lady in his life was having upon him. He was so genuinely happy for once, something that had been such a rarity before, far less easy to rouse to anger, so much more relaxed and just pleasant to converse and joke around with.

It was nice to see. The Spine deserved this happiness and even if he was snooping like he always did, part of it was only because Rabbit was so interested in knowing more of how this change had come about.

It had probably been far too many years since Spine was genuinely happy, unfortunately. There was a difference between the happiness with his brothers and certain performances and this sort of happiness.

"Real good," Someone was actually relaxing back into that chair of his, hands rested there on the armrest as his vest had been removed and just set on the nearby desk to take care of later, "and the both of us had a lot of fun, yes."

Ohohohoho~

A noticeable difference that Rabbit understood better now than he ever had before.

Despite how love obsessed the copper 'bot may have seemed over the last century, he had always teased his brother for his ridiculous obsession in wanting to be loved and in a committed relationship with a human woman. But now, after seven months with Alyss, Rabbit couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like to wake up and not have her snuggled there cutely at his side. Maybe The Spine had been right all along on that one.

For once, the two elder Walters were both so very happy in love and they each had a special woman to thank because of it.

"Ya surprised me, Spine. Guess I might'a been wrong." An admittance of himself being wrong? Dear Robot Lord, something must have been in the water. "Ya really didn't need my advice in th' first place, huh? Showed Miss B a n-n-nice time all on yer own." A real nice time judging by the sound of it.

The Spine would probably be back to his usual, easily irritated, self by tomorrow. He had appearances to keep up, right? Straight man and responsible brother of the group. There would still be that bit of a smile remaining, and not just because of what had occurred at the end of the date; it was the fact that he really was just that happy with his Walter Girl.

Only took about 117 years and being taken to another dimension in a place that allowed for multiple counterparts of the same person for them to get those special women.

Who'd have thought?

"She surprised me too, Rabbit." That was a puff of steam from between his lips, head tilted back and shutters closed, "Brianna is the one who... brought up the subject." That had really surprised him.

A suspicious silence stretched on there for just a half second too long before the copper 'bot's hand was retracting with a twitch, stare just a little too focused on his brother. Way to give nothing away, Rabbit.

"Ya d-don't say, huh?" Alyss had been spot on in her assumption of what the Walter Girl would do, huh? "Y'know, Miss B came t' have a little chat with Alice not so long ago…"

"While we were just sittin' and enjoying the evenin' together," in a comfortable silence. The view had been nice, and he had been happy just having her so close--

His head tilted, giving Rabbit a bit of a look, one brow raised a little, "Did she?" Wow, he was still in too good of a mood to be bothered. It wasn't strange for those two to talk these days.

A blink at that, Rabbit just going to perch on the edge of The Spine's bed so that he wasn't towering over the other, not that he minded much, just needed to give his knees a break. Also, it kept him here talking to the titanium automaton just a bit longer, didn't it? "Ya were just hangin' out an' she brought it up? All casual-like?" Wow, Miss B. This copper 'bot sure never would have seen that one coming, no matter what Alyss had foretold.

"Yeah, g-guess she might'a had a question or two for Alice 'bout th' whole-" Copper claws wiggling vaguely in the air between them. "-Human/robut relationship thing. But from what I got out o' it, she was mostly lookin' for advice."

He leaned back in that chair of his, "She fumbled over her wordin' a bit at first," that was as casual as it go between them with awkward, wasn't it? "She got her meanin' out just fine, either way." Which was why the date had ended as it did, because he showed that he was very willing -and able- to give her what she wanted, and she didn't tell him to stop.

"... Well, guess Alice would be the one who'd know a thing or two. You and her have been together a pretty long while already."

Goddamn, The Spine was in a real good mood, huh?

A shrug of crooked shoulders there, so very casual about it. "Guess so-" Rabbit really hadn't realized just how long that was. "But I guess Miss B must'a l-l-liked what she heard if she pounced ya so soon after." A bit of a grin, "Alice did t-t-tell her just how talented us musicians are with our fingers."

"Y'know the two of you have been together for somethin' over half a year already." That was a record, right there. no need to think that also meant that they've been in this city for over half a year as well.

Talented fingers; that might have been a slight sputtering of steam at that, giving Rabbit a bit of a side-long look. "I'm sure that she did." Wasn't his fingers that B got to experience the talent of.

A bit of a blank look at that. "Eeeeh, what? Half a year? I d-don't think that's right, Spine..." Though Rabbit was already screwing up his face as he attempted to recall just when it had all started. Mouthing off silent numbers as he ticked off months and holidays on his curved fingers. It had been just after Christmas....

....What the hell.

Oh, he knew he was roughly right. He didn't know exact days of things, just second hand tellings and the what not. Half a year sounded about right to him. "Doesn't seem like it's been that long, does it?"

Good job, Rabbit.

Seven months....Seven months. How the hell had seven months passed, not only just between him and Alyss but him and his family being here in this city in the first place? It was more than a little unreal to hear, the air in Rabbit's bellows going still as he froze at that realization, the rhythmic ticking of his gears and the boil of water the only sound to come from the copper 'bot as that silence stretched out.

Good job, him.

"...Guess not."

Really it wasn't all that long for them, the passage of time could be short compared to how long they lived- Still, that was seven months away from home, wasn't it? Of encountering trouble that meant them harm, were a danger to the human members of their family.

Seven months.

"You doin' alright there, buddy?"
