she's my kind of crazy

Her nose wrinkling in mock irritation, Ania shook her head to clear any tangles from being ruffled. Bringing a lock of her hair up to her breast, she combed through it. "It is the colour of sugar, isn't it?" It really did fit, especially since she liked to bake so much. She went through an awful lot of sugar, and it wouldn't be a wonder if she eventually just turned into a sack of sugar. Though, it would be awfully inconvenient if you left a wide trail of sugar in your wake. "Yes. I'm positive. I love you far more." Absolutely determined to win that battle, Ania would not give up, even if it took all day to argue it. She was most excited for that argument, though, because if it started to go badly for her, she could use her super new kissing powers to make him stop talking.

She almost giggled, thinking that would be their first true argument. Regaining herself, she bit her lip, her head turning slowly, trying to search out a decent spot that was secluded enough. Finally, she caught sight of a tree, it's wide branches stretching outwards, the fingers of the twigs grasping blindly at the sky. Pointing at it excitedly, Ania nudged Hadrian, "Look, there's that tree there! That would be a good spot." There was just enough sun and shade to be out of the sun but still in the warmth.

Skipping willingly after her boyfriend, Ania admired the spot they had agreed on. It was definitely a good spot, semi-secluded and with a pretty view of a little river. Her attention was drawn to a pair of ducks perched near the edge, and she admired the little birds, hoping that they weren't aggressive ducks. Her legs folding underneath, Ania quickly adjusted herself on the ground, the top of her skirt ruffling out over her knees. Her arms went back to support her weight, and she crossed her legs at the ankles, her head turning back to look at the ducks.

"Oh-- they've even got babies." A handful of fuzzy mini-birds waddled out from underneath their mother's wing, and began to hunt around for food. "They don't even look real, they look like toys." She didn't think she had ever seen ducklings in person before, and it was especially enchanting to watch them in action. The largest of the group had apparently found a bug of some sort, and was working to rip it out of whatever hole the creature was determined to stay in. Of course, the duckling was far bigger, and quickly won that fight, eating whatever it had found. "Wouldn't it be fun to have a tiny flock of baby ducks to take care of? They're so cute. Though, I think I just love babies in general."

"It is incredible, isn't it?" Once you took the time to actually think about it, babies were incredible. They literally started from nothing and grew into a full grown person. It almost sounded like some weird scifi movie, a human sprouting out of a fertilized egg. A pink, wrinkly, screaming little human. "No, I bet you were much cuter." Her mother didn't seem to enjoy taking care of her as a child, but Ania couldn't really blame her for not wanting to get stuck with a screaming child when she wasn't in the best of health herself. Well, at least she mostly grew up happy. Sometimes she wished she could have had a sibling, but that probably would have only made her mother even madder.

Staring back at the brave duckling that had come closer, Ania got an idea. Rising up on her knees, Ania straddled Hadrian, her arms wrapping around his neck. "Let's get a baby. You promised me a parrot a while ago." Pressing multiple kisses into his neck, Ania moved closer, settling down gently. "You'll be able to learn quite a bit about babies, then." She wasn't ready for an actual baby, not while she was still in school, anyway. Besides that, it was a little weird to immediately suggest they have their own babies. Animal babies were the perfect solution, and good bonding mediums. "I'd stay over lots more if we got a baby parrot, too."

Ania's mouth twitched into a smile, trying to picture her Hadrian as a sour child. It wasn't too difficult to picture, he certainly looked like he could throw a tantrum and win.
Shifting her body into a more comfortable position, her hands dropped to rest idly on Hadrian's hips.
"The pet store would be a fun adventure." Pausing, Ania hadn't considered the possibility that she could get a phoenix, or any type of unique magical creature like that. Just the word phoenix made her think high-maintainence.

"A phoenix would be fun, wouldn't it? Do you think they're the cuddly type of bird, like the ones who are happy to perch on you while you do other things? I've always wanted a pet that's happy to just sit on you without doing anything." The usual domestic animals like dogs and cats often don't perch like that, though she still liked them all the same despite that. If that pet store did end up having things like phoenixes, she hoped that they weren't too loud. "I wonder what types of noises they make. Or if they burn you when you pet them, wouldn't that be sad." She did like to pet, it wouldn't be any fun if you had a companion that you couldn't ever play with.

Nodding eagerly, Ania felt a little like a child negotiating to get a pet. Her fingers closed into a fist as she worked to contain her excited energy. "Okay! I bet the pet store would have care packets on their pets, too." Despite only having gone to regular pet stores with dogs, cats, and the like, they usually carried a hefty host of informational packets, books, and knowledgeable staff on the creatures. "I don't think they die, no... But whoever owns the pet store would know, I bet!" It would be a nasty shock, if someone got you a phoenix without realising, and one day it just ... Burst into flames without warning. That would be a fun emergency call.

Unable to contain her glee, Ania threw her hands around her boyfriends neck, kissing him full on the lips as she went. This was going to be the first time that she was getting a pet, and it was definitely an occasion to remember. "Thank you for getting a pet with me, I've never had one before." It was definitely made easier if you had another person to rely on. "Well, if nothing else, we can always abduct a baby duck."
