giggling over herding dog rumi again . i know i've made the joke like a thousand times and have talked about her being a particularly unenriched border collie but it's literally just true to me
i think mira and zoey have to get used to it really quickly even though both of them are. wildly confused by the entire situation at hand. mira used to pick fights pretty badly when they were teenagers because rumi would just Very Pointedly Stare at her for minutes on end until mira started demanding to know what her fucking problem was. and of course rumi would never actually say anything in the beginning, but then she'd start ominously going "I Don't Like You Being There." followed by mira going "?? well too fucking bad loser i'm a hunter i'm not—" and rumi quickly clarifies "no not like that you freak. go upstairs."
it only gets worse when rumi actively starts the herding process. she's gently putting a hand on zoey's shoulder and guiding her outside. she's nudging mira by stepping on the backs of her heels until she's on the other side of the couch. she's mid-conversation with celine casually walking at her until celine is beside the table instead of in front of it. rumi doesn't ever bring it up and is so unbelievably casual doing it that everyone is so flabbergasted and doesn't even think to question it
and they ALSO don't question it because rumi does this all the fucking time. literally all the time. like it just never ends. she won't say a word before she's herding someone somewhere else just because she's decided that them standing in That Specific Spot could no longer be tolerated
she's doing this to EVERYONE in her life. everyone temporarily in her life. mira and zoey have lost count of the number of times they've watched her effectively run circles around stylists. she's making them run her ten gauntlets before she lets them touch her. bobby was led inside and then outside and then upstairs and then into an elevator to go back downstairs and then outside again once they first met, and it's because he took it like a champ that he was hired immediately
rumi gets praised for having insane camera finding abilities and has numerous posts about the way she's able to hold eye contact and has a "Look" when she performs. no one is aware that she's silently willing the person she's dead staring at to just move a little to the left
ANY staff that works or has worked with HUNTR/X has at least one or two stories about talking to ryu rumi only to end the conversation and realise they were no longer where they started speaking
she's crazy defensive about it. zoey'll bring it up and rumi will go "?? haha what i don't do that" and then mira will stare at her and go "Yes You Literally Do." and rumi will glare back and go "i don't know what you're talking about and also even if i DID do that it's on you for letting me do it MIRA so maybe just don't LET ME and it won't happen MIRA."
except you know. god forbid you don't let rumi herd you because then she's going to start biting and yowling and howling and miserably pacing around looping in circles freaking out until you go upstairs like she wanted. for some godforsaken reason
