Description: Bunny Theme


Nii lounges languidly with his back to the chair with one hand behind the back of his head cushioning comfortably, and legs crossed with green bunny slippers hanging off of his black socked toes. While his other hand, typing quickly against the keyboard and blue monitor in front of him. The super computer hums quietly as he works at his station. The doctor takes his hand from behind, and grabs the soft-pink bunny mug from his desk, not far from the computer tower; he then takes sips his coffee through the cup.

A pace of footsteps subtly pads its way into the dark laboratory chamber.

Nii swings his head towards the sound of the footsteps and smiles delightfully as he grabs his smoking cigarette from the ashtray next to his bunny mug, and placing the stick between his lips. Kougaiji walks all the way into the laboratory as he makes his way to the doctor's workstation. Just before the prince opens his mouth, he glances around the older man's surroundings. He spots his misplaced coffee mug and the bunny slippers, which they have been missing for almost over a year.

Nii glances up at the young prince as if his cigarette was about to slip from the bottom of his mouth. "Is something the matter, my prince?" He asks calmly, while his eyes blinking curiously through his glasses. Kou gazes at the doctor irritably, and then sighs deeply in almost giving up on his question. He then begins to speak, "You seen any bunny items?"

"What do you mean by bunny items?" Nii questions again, placing his nicotine back on the ashtray, then grabs his bunny doll and sits it on his lap. Kougaiji smiles back with a grin crooked on his face. "A pair of slippers..." Nii stares at the prince and blinking again, and this time without a word. "And a mug," the prince then added, looking directly at the doctor before him. "They have gone missing for nearly a year, and I was wondering if you have seen them?" The doctor remains quiet, quiet without a word and without a peep.

"Excuse me, my prince. I must return to work."

Kou immediately grabs one the bunny slippers from the doctor's foot before he turns around from his chair. Nii hands falls onto the wooden table with his head on his arms as his chair turned facing the desk, he then completely laughs outright from his spot. He turns around again and looks up at the prince who already has his palm out before him.

"Can I have the other one as well?" Kou asks with an amusing note in his voice. "What do you mean other one?" The doctor questions back with a nervous grin. "The other slipper." Kou growls, somewhat annoyed. Nii gives an aspiration sigh as he then reaches down from his chair with bunny doll still on his lap, and removes the other green bunny slipper off his toes and hands it back to the prince. "Anything else?" Nii asks, somewhat sad note in his voice. Kou takes the bunny mug off from the desk that was sitting next to computer tower. The doctor lips turn somewhat a frown, seeing the bunny mug, now gone too.

Kougaiji turns around and begins walking out from the laboratory. Nii shortly calls after him from his chair, "Could I at least finish my cup of coffee!" The prince answers back sharply, "No!" As he carries himself out from the way he came, while holding his returned belonging protectively in his arms. Nii returns facing the computer with one hand on his face, wiggling his toes beneath the table, and his other hand gingerly tapping rhythm scales, against the desk.
