Laurie lies upon a field of flowers, Spot chasing the butterflies, her bag with her books, her papers and her pencils emptied next to her. She'd tried to write a few lines but all she ended up with were some dry lines, which she'd ended up erasing and erasing.

"This is hard," she sighs, rolling over on her stomach, peeking through the wildflowers, watching Spot try to catch a butterfly with his mouth, but the gorgeous orange sulphur flitted away just in time. It made her laugh softly. "But I guess you're having an even harder time, huh?"

Spot trots over and nudges Laurie's head. She reaches up and scatches that one place behind his ear that he loves getting scratched.

"Oh." So then he's been surprised as well. "I've never met another version of me, so I don't really know how that feels." Surprise is one, but that is general.

"There really aren't enough words to describe just how strange it is." He laughed again. "But so far, pretty much everything on this ship has been pretty strange."

"Yea," Laurie nods, feeling Spot bump her in the back with his nose. She reaches behind and scratches behind his ear, "Things are kinda wierd all the time on the ship." You kinda get used to it.

"I don't doubt that." He reached over to give the dog a good scratch as well. "I guess I should ask your name, since you already know mine."

Seeing as laurie isn't giving him as much pettings as he likes, Spot clambers over to Tony, nudging his Tony's leg with his wet nose and jumping up a bit in a "notice me notice me" puppy way.

"Oh, I'm Laurie Collins," Laurie says, grabbing Spot and pulling him back a little so that the pup wasn't all over Tony.

"Nice to meet you, Laurie." He's more than happy to give the cute ball of puppy some attention.

Laurie lets Spot go, sighing as he jumps up into Tony's lap and settles there, giving Laurie a look that seems to say "well you weren't petting me so I found someone who will, so there!"

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Stark," she says.

"Just Tony is fine." He continues to pet him. "And what's this little guy's name?"

"Spot," Laurie says, trying to get her mind wrapped around calling the "Famous Tony Stark" Tony. "He's a spoiled puppy. I think my friend Sofia's fed him too many treats." The pup barks, as if to agree.
