HC: Animals just adore Robby.
He's constantly stalked by their neighbour's cat, and by stray ones too. They keep breaking into his apartment like it's the negibhourhood clubhouse. Dogs insist on greeting Robby, especially on his days off, when he and Jack finally get time to wander around the park. They completely disregard personal space, smothering Robby with wagging tails and slobbery kisses. Jack finds it both endearing and mildly infuriating, since every pet owner in sight seems to flirt with Robby.
It's gotten to the point where Jack refuses to let Robby walk through the park alone, squirrels trail behind him, cling to his hoodie, and one particularly cheeky one keeps trying to follow him home.
There was that time they took young Jake to the zoo, and Robby was basically adopted by a flock of budgies who insisted on investigating his beard and touslled hair. He ended up causing a minor commotion as the farm animals began following him around, letting Jack and Jake pet them freely like Robby was some sort of enchanted zookeeper.
Things got even more hysterical: during a conference in Edinburgh, Robby was stalked by a fox that followed him onto and off a bus. But the true icing on the cake? Back when they were young and stupidly in love, during another conference, they went for a moonlit stroll through Brissie’s riverfront garden, and Robby somehow charmed every possum in the vicinity. A dozen of them trailed the pair and cock-blocked Jack mid-makeout.
But we're NOT gonna talk about that.
