"No can do, grasshopper. This is my meditation time. I'm absorbing the cosmic energy of the universe, just like these plants."

"That's not how photosynthesis works, clown. All you're doin' is committing indecent exposure. Reckon I could sue for this."

Bruce and Penny, as loving as always~

Their relationship is less antagonistic than the one between Bruce and Pandora, because these two never dated/had an ugly break-up. They actually get along somewhat decently, except for when Bruce is nagging Pen about some needed repair for the boarding house, or when Pen is poking her nose a little too far into Bruce's private life (Just what is going on between him and that dog buddy of his?). Penny scored a lot of brownie points with Bruce when she "gave" him the entire (brown, dying) boarding house roof garden to restore. Bruce goes about this task dutifully and surprisingly lovingly- up on the rooftop with his watering can and old lady sunhat is seriously his favorite place to be. Except when it's occupied by naked lemur landlords. Go do your sunbathing somewhere else, Penny!

(Public "nudity" is not actually that big a deal in the world of Fuzzbutts, as unlike humans, most animals have their junk discreetly hidden away. Critters wear clothes by default, but one probably won't turn heads if they opt out of wearing pants. Although there are definitely situations where it's inappropriate, such as at a wedding, or a funeral. As Penny owns the property she's free to sunbathe on her own roof, but there's some grey area around a landlord being nekkid in front of tenants. Penny don't care, suck it up ya prude)

bonus hc from a dear patron: I absolutely adore lemur Penny omg
I cant stop thinking about her doing stuff with her little hand-like feets, like holding a phone and texting while knitting or stirring a coffee with her actual hands. Bonus points if this wigs Bruce out every time and she makes a point to do it around him as much as possible

Me: Penny: oh hang on Bruce u got a little- *uses lil foot-hand to pick stray fluff off Bruce's shoulder*
Bruce: STOP

The gift of the roof garden may seem wildly generous, but Penny views it as dumping all that maintenance and labor on some chump willing to do it for free. Score!
