[ Mhm. Now she's picturing those robotic dogs they sell for children. ]
I see... I suppose that would make sense then. [A nod.] That's like with Dumuzid. Well, he does have a human form, but he goes around as a golden sheep most often.
[ Why does Dumuzid come back so often in their conversations?
Better move away from this sheep! So of course she finds herself blushing a bit as he praises her. She finally lets go of the hug and takes the doggie back on her lap. ]
Heh? W-Well... I guess that's because I've thousand of years of hugs to give back! I-I need to compensate by making my hugs the best ones.
I see. [A golden sheep... That's a cute image.] My friends had taken form as cassette tapes. Though at least two had recently taken the form of motorcycles as their alternate mode.
[It probably makes more sense once she gets to see them in person. Alas, that is impossible to do in this world.]
And I can say for certain all the hugs you've given have been the greatest... Even if you had surprised me with them in the past.
[Though from now on, he'd probably be a little less surprised, unless Ereshkigal randomly does surprise bear hugs. The doggie is happy to be back in the goddess's arms, snuggling up to her, tail wagging. The kitty that has been hiding this whole time has made her reappearance, leaving her hiding spot as she cautiously approaches Ereshkigal. The shy creature sniffs around her ankles for a few seconds before rubbing herself against her leg. It seems she's accepted his friend!
All that aside--]
Again, thank you, Ereshkigal. For listening. And the hug. I feel... better talking about that. [Is this something he'd do often now? Probably not, but the option to confide in a friend is there.] If you have something you wish to talk about but you do not know who to talk to, I will be available to listen to you. I can't promise if I can provide solutions, but I'll listen.
[ ... ... ... ... S-She's not going to mention she has no idea what a "cassette" is, she gets the feeling that would be super awkward if she did! She's such an old goddess, and cassettes are out of mode in the era she was summoned in.
No, instead she reaches out for the kitty that's rubbing against her leg, trying to pull her closer. ]
Come here, you. [And then to Soundwave.] Ehe, I shall!
[ Though... Not today, probably. ]
But I didn't come to talk about myself today. [She shakes her head.] Besides, I wouldn't know where to begin... [There is so much she could talk about!] No, I'm much happier petting your new pets.
[ Which she is doing! Having two hands is very convenient. ]
[Eh, he gets it. When he returned to Earth years ago, cassettes were already outdated. It was why they needed to update their alt modes to fit in with the modern Earth era. Thanks Primus, for that! He did not like being stuck as a cassette recorder for more than two decades!]
You're right. [He doesn't expect her to dump something on him today, but the offer's there, should she need it in the future.] Ah, but I ended up speaking about myself... When I originally wanted to introduce you to my pets.
[That was why he invited her to his home, after all. The tiny kitty sees Ereshkigal reaching for her and bravely stands on her hind legs in response, tiny paws reaching for her hands, only to clumsily flop over. Meanwhile, Soundwave watches the adorable scene in front of him.]
But I see that Bruiser and Razorclaw have already taken a liking to you.
[ She's actually quite happy he confided in her. I-It is quite the novel thing! And she likes talking with her friend, even if she's still pretty bad at that whole "being social" thingie.
She looks down at the pet and nod in a most satisfied manner. ]
Fufufu, they recognize a perfect goddess when they see one!
