"Kakashi something terrible has happened," Alex tells him as soon as she comes through the door.

Kakashi blinks and makes a questioning sound without bothering to look up from his book.

Which rude, by the way.

So she pushes the book out of the way, she demands all the attention right now and wraps herself dramatically all over his back and shoulders. "It's an invasion. Of the loud cackling sort."

Kakashi turns to Pakkun for an explanation but the pug is too busy being miserable as well. There's some silence and then: "what?"

Alex ignores his question in favour of whining pathetically. "Fix it, Kakashi." Alex can tell that Kakashi is both confused and exasperated over their antics but he hasn't said no, and really that's all she needs to keep going.

"I can't fix it if I don't know what's wrong," Kakashi deadpans at them.

Alex sighs, deep and mournful. "I already told you! It's an invasion!"

Pakkun nods from his post by Kakashi's feet. "Of the loud cackling kind," Pakkun voice is as solemn as the situation demands.

Kakashi fails to react accordingly and they look at each other in silent commiseration before turning as one to Kakashi. "Fix it, Kakashi."

But the man only sighs, finally understanding what is going on. "Pakkun, I can't assassinate civilians because you guys don't want to share your cafeteria."

Alex drops dramatically on his lap. "Loud cackling, Kakashi," she reminds him because maybe he didn't hear them the first time but he obviously doesn't see the problem because he won't budge.

"Maybe just a scare, ok?"

Kakashi sighs but Pakkun is nodding along with her suggestion.

"A tiny scare," the pug adds.

"Harmless, really," Alex continues and Kakashi drops his head on his hands when they both turn to pout at him.

Pakkun and her share smug looks over his head.

No way he's going to say no to the both of them. Bull just watches silently from his spot by the door.
