it's a beautiful day for a neighbor

It's been one hell of a Saturday, and it's not even noon yet.

He'd been woken up nearly at the crack of dawn by a petite pair of hands--quickly followed by a larger, stronger pair--in bed this morning and the past couple hours had consisted of the kind of vigorous activity Coop can't get out of playing basketball or going to the gym. He'd met the married couple, Sophie and Luka, during his time abroad in France nearly six years ago and when he'd decided to return to Siren Cove, he'd invited them to visit anytime. They'd accepted his offer and every third week in July, Coop takes a few days off from work--aside from emergency calls, of course--to spend some quality time with his friends.

He waves goodbye to them now with the promise of seeing them again next year as their cab pulls off the curb in front of his house. He waves until the car turns a corner and then he drops his arm to his side, rolling his neck and shoulders with a satisfied sigh and smile before offering a wave to a small group of people who pass. It takes him a moment to understand why he's getting stares as they walk by until he looks down and remembers he's not wearing much in the way of any actual clothing, save for the pair of itty bitty briefs that are really just a courtesy anyway.



He gives the group a salute, holding back a laugh at the way a couple of them trip over their own feet before they correct themselves in a hurry, and shifts his attention to the next person who approaches with a bright grin.

"Beautiful day, isn't it?"

"And I thought they let anyone be a vet," he replied softly. His way of agreeing that he knew Coop was intelligent. Hell, he used to help Owen with homework and Owen was an academic year older. Noting Coop's neighbour he waved also, purely out of politeness. "Hey, doesn't bother me, I have literally seen all of you before. But Coop, please think of the children and drivers that could get distracted and have an accident."

"I just said you were flexible! I probably said more complimentary things at the time but I am currently too coherent to devolve into that much ego stroking. I'm sure you have plenty of people still willing to do that for you."
