22 ⚓ Video ⚓ Anyone might rob you when you are asleep

[Filtered from Rocket, pre-emptively]
For those of you who are curious, this is what a sleeping raccoon looks like. [Basically. Except Rocket is in his jumpsuit and draped around a rack of weights in the gym. There's an audible sigh as Duke's hand appears in frame, trying to untangle him.] Don't worry, I'll get him home safe. With any luck, he'll be awake in a week or two. I hope.

Mason? Whatever you're thinking, don't.

[Lloyd can't help snorting a laugh at that image.]

Man, that's fuckin' cute.

[Then he adds in a hurry:]

Don't tell him I said that. He'll probably figure I'm making fun.

[And he isn't making fun. He just thinks sleeping raccoon is fucking cute, goddammit.]

I know!

[Of course, Duke never said that, just like Lloyd never made a remark. He's more focused on getting him away from the rack and ready to go home. (Srs warden is srs.)]

My lips are sealed.

[Confidentiality is real important in raccoon matters. Lloyd has to work to contain his snickers, but he mostly has it under control.]

So he just caught the sleepin' bug, middle of a workout?

[Very important. Duke is pretty sure he's going to pay for this later.]

Looks like it. I tried poking him and he didn't wake up.

Guess you haven't tried going at it like prince charming, laying a big smooch on his snout.

And I'm not going to. If I did that and it worked, he'd bite my nose off.

That's a good point. Probably ain't worth the teeth hazard, if he's gonna come around eventually anyway.
