Rose was sitting in her apartment, flipping through a Victoria Secret catalog when she heard 'The Ruckus'. At first she heard indistinct yelling, unable to tell if it was angry or not. All she could really tell was that it was Seth. Then... laughter. Also Seth. He had this strange little cackle about him. And then singing, the most terrible of the three noises. When Guillermo came back in her room, he looked as if he had aged half a decade. "Manic Monday." She said, not looking up from the magazine for a moment.
She looked up, seeing his distressed face. Something was wrong. Flipping the catalog shut, Rose sat up, staring at him quizzically. "Are you alright?" She stood up, seeing him vibrate like a cell phone. "You're shaking." Grabbing his hand, it felt unusually cold to her, as she had always found his hands to be oddly warm. Or maybe her skin oddly cold? Either way, not the point.
"He gets hyper sometimes, but he's harmless. Mostly. Kind of like a kitten. You know how they really don't mean to do any harm, and hiss and make a bunch of noises, but really do nothing except claw you on accident a lot? That's Seth." Rose's eyes fell embarrassed by her own sincerity. "This is really cool of you. Letting him stay with you. I appreciate it. Really." Watching him closely, she squinted analytically. "Do you want to sit down or something?"

Rose muttered something as he walked in. He didn't catch it. She approached him, taking his hand. "Are you alright? You're shaking." He felt strange. He couldn't even tell her what was wrong. Because he didn't exactly know. "He gets hyper sometimes, but he's harmless. Mostly. Kind of like a kitten. You know how they really don't mean to do any harm, and hiss and make a bunch of noises, but really do nothing except claw you on accident a lot? That's Seth." Guillermo closed his eyes to hide the eye roll. If Seth was an adorable kitten, then he was a fucking platypus. "This is really cool of you. Letting him stay with you. I appreciate it. Really." He nodded, his mood rising just a tad at her praise. "Do you want to sit down or something?" "Yeah." He sat on the couch. "I guess I was just..." Guillermo looked into her clear blue eyes, "Dizzy"
