Drabble Notes – Haga & Ryuzaki, set post-Doma and probably post-DM.

"Look at this one!"
It should be technically impossible for someone to get this excited about bugs. They were grotesque little things that were easily squished underfoot. Its not that Ryuzaki was without his obsessions. But at least you could respect dinosaurs. They were majestic giants that once dominated the whole earth. Bugs didn't dominate anything.
Though he dare not mention that at risk of having the whole 'cockroaches surviving nuclear war' thing thrown at him again.
"It looks exactly the same as the last ten you've found," he commented flatly. He couldn't resist some form or negative jip at his friend.
Haga shook his head and answered, "The markings on this one are different from the others. Unusual for this region…" He held the butterfly on his finger looking over it. Bugs were possibly the only creatures that weren't scared of Haga. Maybe that was why he liked them so much.
"Does it… matter?" Ryuzaki asked, trying to force out some interest.
"Of course it matters!" Haga snapped, "These markings belong to butterflies from the park. If they're moving into the forest than it means the temperature in the city is getting too much for them and they can't handle living there anymore."
He didn't know whether to admire Haga's concern over global warming or call the mental hospital about this over the top reaction to one odd looking butterfly.
"Perhaps it just… wanted a change of scenery?" he suggested, trying to sound helpful, "I could do with one myself. How about we head over to the crater on the other side of the city."
Haga resisted gasping in horror. Ryuzaki was going to make him dig up dinosaur fossils again…
