[Today's a good day for catching up with shows, so that's what Roji's doing when he hears the familiar sound of his roommate arriving home.
The sound of anime playing in the living room stops abruptly as Roji pauses it, and soon enough Roji himself trots over to the entryway to greet Sakichi.]
Hi, Sakichi!
[Though he's done this many times, today is quite obviously different. When he gets close enough to meet Sakichi at the door, he spots that muzzle and very noticeably slows down in confusion.]
What's- [Oh. Oh, now he definitely sees the horse itself. He just kind of stares agape for a moment. Incredible.] You got a horse?
[Roji takes the opportunity to get a closer look at Nadeshiko once Sakichi steps back.]
She's so... [He seems contemplative at first as he takes in the sparkles and luxurious pink mane. But soon enough he's beaming excitedly.] Cute!! Nice to meet you, Nadeshiko!
[He holds out a hand for her to sniff, intent on petting her if she's okay with it.]
I can't believe your other self had such a cute horse, Sakichi!
[The stark contrast between the sparkly Nadeshiko and ultra serious Sakichi just couldn't go without comment. But to Roji, even that is pretty cute.]
[ Nadeshiko lowers her head to sniff at Roji's hand. Roji is small and excited enough that he seems like any of the children who ran up to her and tried to give her pats on the way here. Hereby, he is considered Large Child. She places her muzzle against his hand, giving him permission to pet her. Her temperament is calm, so at least she and Sakichi have that in common. ]
Management didn't see her. She won't be here for very long either way.
[ He trusts Nadeshiko not to cause trouble in the meantime!! He takes off his shoes and heads for the kitchen. Maybe he can find a treat for her... ]
I thought you would like her. You seem like the type of person who gets along with animals.
[An excited gasp escapes Roji when he gets Nadeshiko's permission. Slowly and gently, he runs his hand up her head and starts stroking between her ears. Truly, he has been blessed and his day has been made.]
Oh, I guess that explains it!
[He laughs sheepishly, keeping Nadeshiko company while Sakichi heads inside. It's maybe a little risky to keep a horse of all animals inside their little apartment, even for a little while. Management would not be happy if they somehow found out. But he's pretty sure Sakichi didn't plan to have her show up today. From what he's learned of Sakichi so far, he's very orderly most of the time!
Plus, he's already completely sold on Nadeshiko and he's ready to make her as comfortable as possible!]
Heh, you think so? I'm glad! I'm definitely a fan- of Nadeshiko and animals in general. They have a way with bringing a little extra happiness into your day, you know?

Her name is Nadeshiko. We knew each other in our other lives.
[ Nadeshiko sparkles and snorts almost as if in agreement. ]
She's well-mannered. I hoped she would be able to stay here until I could find her other living arrangements, but...
[ He stands back and looks at her. It's a gamble whether or not she'd fit through the doorframe. ]

I mean, I don't mind, but... I'm kinda surprised you didn't get flagged down by management for even bringing her here!
[Seems like Roji ended up on a different train of thought than actually getting her inside, though.]

I agree. Animals are simple and honest. When people come to be too much, spending time with an animal can be therapeutic.
[ He pats Nadeshiko on the neck. He knows he finds her presence refreshing, anyway. ]
Ah. I should mention that I received her in return for a ticket from Retrospec. She came out of their mailbox.

[Roji takes the apple with a bright smile and offers it to Nadeshiko.
...But then he nearly drops it, taken aback by how she ended up in Recolle in the first place.]
She...came out of Retrospec's mailbox. [He repeats Sakichi's words except with a tone of suspicion, because:] How did she fit in a mailbox??
no subject
Sakichi brings his hands together, indicating about six inches of space. ]
She was about this big inside it. When I took her out, she expanded to full size.
[ And crushed him slightly, but worth it. ]
I wouldn't be able to tell you if it was magic or science.
no subject
...Oh my gosh. I bet she was just as cute as a mini horse! Hopefully she didn't land on top of you when she got big.
[Sakichi would probably be in worse shape if that was the case though, but Roji couldn't help but say it.
He turns back to Nadeshiko with a smile. It's exciting to think about...]
Y'know, I'm gonna guess it was magic. I can't think of any science that makes shrinking animals possible. Can you?
