she pouted briefly after realizing she'd have to wait a little longer to be reunited with her child but seeing boat cat was an added bonus. the orange creature had become like a second child to her. "luna was right with doing that you know. i mean the only reason why we're besties is because you're a negligent cat parent towards boat cat." salem knew referring to the two as besties would make rohan shudder and she couldn't help that she found amusement in getting on his nerves ( it was pretty simple after all ) and she had to admit she did enjoy their back and forth. as he toted the luggage into the car she rolled her eyes at his comment. "i don't need luggage that expensive no, but i can't help that i have nice things." climbing into the passenger seat in an attempt to get out of the cold she continued on. "i was just talking shit really, you know i'm not one to really flex my wealth but it obviously annoyed you and that's enough for me." a laugh falling from her lips. salem knew she should have probably thanked him first before getting on his nerves but it wasn't in her nature to be nice to rohan immediately. she looked over at him as he got into the drivers seat and gave him a small smile. "thanks by the way. i appreciate you offering to bring me home. i got you a really obnoxious gift for the boat also."

" sorry, i was talking about boat cat. luna wouldn't let me take stevie. " he did try to argue that it made sense to get both salem and stevie from valpo to viña del mar in one trip ; unfortunately, that did not sway their opinion. " apparently i can't be trusted. my track record is too poor with boat cat, whatever that means. " a beat passes as he looks between salem and her bags, an eyebrow raised, but he gives in easily, moving to pull open the back door of the cab so he could put them there── unfortunately for him, rohan tends to be more bark than bite. " do you really need luggage that expensive ? i spent like, half my life savings on that boat. unless that was your attempt at a subtle brag ? it doesn't impress me how much money you have, you know.
