[1] Home; the Study: What Does it Eat
[In all eighteen years of his life, Bokuto had never been allowed to have a pet. For one thing, his home had never had room for his boisterousness and his siblings, much less any animals. For another, he would barely have time to take care of one, and even though Bokuto had spent as much time as anyone else pouring over cute dog or cat or owl pictures, he could concede it was probably a bad idea to get a pet.

The little moss thing that had came out of the egg, while weird, definitely seemed to be pet-like. So Bokuto was going to do his best to be a good owner, even if it meant trying to make sense of the mostly blank books in the study. After about a minute or two of furtive, noisy page flipping, he was going to toss his head back, gripping it in despair.]

What does moss eat?!

[2] Home; Outside: Putting on the Ritz
[Okay so Bokuto doesn’t know much about moss or pets or what exactly he should do to be a good pet owner, but pets like walks right? And the little thing has legs, so he’s just going to be outside, a few steps away from the little moss ball looking thing with legs, calling towards it.]

Here Ace! Come here!

[Though if he caught anyone watching, he’d beam up at them proudly.]

Hey, hey, hey! Do you have a leash?

[Because clearly this was normal and the right way to do things.]

Threaded | Flat

You called it Ace? Are you training your replacement?

[Kuroo's grinning, leaning against a tree as he watches this spectacle.]

And no, I don't have a leash. Even if I did, I'd have my own uses for it. [This is evident in the fluffy, floppy yellow rabite beside him - though, honestly, it doesn't look like it needs a leash. It looks like it needs a nap.]

[ Bokuto's voice caught I-Pin's attention (because, honestly, who could ignore a voice like his?) and she glanced at the boy. About to wave hello, she noticed him calling something over.

It... it was ball of grass. With legs. ]

Aiyaa!! What the--?!

[ The Cantonese spilled out of her mouth instinctively. She took a few steps back at the sight, not even hearing Bokuto's question. ]

Bokuto-senpai, what is that?!

[There's no lofty attitude here--as much as she's probably been helping Irves raise her rattler boa, it's not this boy's critter. Still, Sara has had enough time to observe Irves' pet. It does bring up a certain question...]

What did you feed it when you caught it? My sister fed hers meat, I think, but her egg was scaly. And now it's a snake!

[She does chuckle a little, at that. As for Bokuto's actual question...well, she's got some small talent in botany, so she can help him out, here.]

Moss is a plant; it 'eats' water and maybe some sort of fertilizer, and sunlight.

Ace? It's a good name, Bokuto-san.

[akaashi also had a hatched something or other but it was up in his room napping so he didn't want to disturb it since he still wasn't sure what to... do with it exactly?

needing some air he went to have a bit of a reat outside where he found his ace who was with his own ace apparently.

it was cute.]

I don't have a leash, sorry. Have you been taking care of Ace well?

[might be... a little worried?]

Shit, probably.

[he entered the study just in time to hear the fukurodani ace make the frustrated remark. and a quick glance told him all he needed to know.]

Compost? Water. Don't suppose you've ever done gardening before, but think of it as a plant maybe.

[maybe? the fact that bokuto has a lump of living moss is pretty damn weird actually and maybe it didn't follow the same... plant logic? who even knows.]
