[ Suzune - Jackalope ] Solemn silence

Chula - Suzune

Jackalope can speak. Or so she had heard. Supposedly not to the prisoners, but if he's capable of speaking at all, then she should be able to safely assume he'd be able to UNDERSTAND what she is saying. so there was a risk, of her ending up just talking to herself in Jackalope's presence, or she may end up hearing something unexpected. It was all just so… curious. And she couldn't get answers from the wardens right now, so perhaps this was her only course of action.

Thus, she awkwardly knocked on the door of Jackalope's room. "Hello? Jackalope-san, are you in?" … She glanced down at the small bunny door, much too small for her to fit through. Ah… well, if he didn't come out to say hello, she could check the kitchen as the back-up. That was the only other place she knew him to be, though. "I was just wondering if we could chat for a little bit! Um… I'm fine with whatever, like, venue you would prefer, too."

There's a fair delay before the door clicked open like any full-size door and Jackalope hopped out. It shut quietly behind him as he gazed up at Suzune with his cute widdle eyes.

Nothing but a nose twitch for a reply, though.

Well… yeah. If Jackalope had maintained silence for so long, there was no reason he'd suddenly start talking to her over a singular sentence, she figured. She kneeled down to get a little closer, like you would with a small child. "If there's somewhere you'd prefer to be for a little chat, I can just follow you! Or, um, like… I guess if you don't care where, stand where you are and I'll pick a place?"

… She probably looked insane. She absolutely looked insane. But she knew this rabbit at least had SOME amount of intelligence to him, so there was a strong chance that he'd at least understand what she was saying, even if he didn't respond.

… This was likely going to be a pretty quiet conversation.

Jackalope simply continued to stare up at her, his eyes unblinking. He didn't appear to be going anywhere, so that was probably his way of telling Suzune that he didn't have any preference?

Chula - Suzune

Well… She supposed that was the answer. Suzune herself didn't really want to chat in the middle of the hallway, so she kneeled down and held out her hands for Jackalope to be carried. Good excuse to touch the fuzzy bunny while she was at it. "Ok! In that case, the main hall has some nicer chairs and not much to do in it, so it's a little less crowded. I can carry you there if you want!!"

… If Jackalope is sentient, she should respect his autonomy and ability to make decisions for himself. Just grabbing him and picking him up without asking would be rude as hell. … GOSH it was so weird to have to train her brain to treat a cute bunny wabbit like a human being, but any creature with thoughts and feelings should be given that much respect.
