The Masked Council

Pets or something

Fanviva F-23 walked with F-28 on a leash. They go to a coffee shop and F-28 sits down across from F-23 as a waiter approaches. "What can I get you," the waiter asked. F-23 replied, "Two cappuccinos and whatever the other person wants." He gestured at F-28, who ordered, "I'd like a power bank with a USB-C adapter." "As you wish," replies the waiter and leaves. "Ok, F-28, what's this about?" asked F-23, "I'm embarrassed to drag you around like a pet." Fanviva F-28 then says: "Don't you think I'm embarrassed? I mean, I'm the one who's supposed to walk on all fours." "You shouldn't, who put that into your head," whispers F-23. F-28 starts humming and then it plays a recording from two days ago: "Fine as far as I'm concerned you can live here but you have to behave like a pet." F-23 just sat there dumbfounded and said: "So meant I think you should behave like that at home and you know where." "You didn't say that," F-28 reminded him. F-23 asked, "Do you take everything you're told literally?" Fanviva F-28 replied, "That's exactly what I'm doing, I wasn't programmed with human psychology, I was programmed with war." "I mean," F-23 begins, "you're an animal, so it shouldn't be that difficult for yourself to behave like one." "Why are you being so racist towards me, I am an animal on the outside but I have personality, empathy and speech just like other humans. And you're the one out of the two of us who decided to wear a fox head. " Both sides fell silent as they were already being stared at by everyone in the café. The waiter came and brought the two's order, F-23 immediately started drinking his first cappuccino while F-28 stuck the USB-C port on his neck. "You know, I didn't choose my life, neither, but I always try to make the best of it," he said. F-23 replied, "I know, I'm sorry for being so mean. How about we get this wrapped up and then head back home because you deserve a treat." "Hmm, don't know. Don't know if you deserve a reward at all", F-28 answered coquette. Then they winked at each other and Fanviva F-23 called the waiter: "Can you wrap this for us, sir?" The waiter nodded, took the food away and came back with two bags. Fanviva F-23 and F-28 step out and F-28 asks one last time: "Are you sure I shouldn't walk on all fours?"
