Suggest a way you could 'help' their relationship?

"You know..." your mouth curls into a leporine grin, "I could stop by and provide some couples counselling exercises that could bring you closer together."

Aquerne's eyes light up. "Oh, could you really? When are you available?"

"I suppose I could help you right now, provided he's home," you remark.

"Yeah, he should be. He doesn't have a job or anything," she looks at the ground, shaking her head.

"Perfect! Lead the way!" you exclaim. "I can help you with that too!"

The squirrel smiles at you and leads you to a cozy little apartment complex. She unlocks the door to apartment F-17 and heaves the door open, its weight resisting the efforts of her tiny body.

You follow her into the main living space. One side of the room functions as a kitchen. Books and miscellaneous papers are stacked haphazardly upon the table, and piled inside the sink is a collection of unrinsed dishes. The door to the microwave hangs open, displaying brown and yellow splatters across the walls and glass rotating plate inside.

"Brock?" she calls out.

"I'm watching TV," a masculine voice hollers from another room.

You follow the squirrel into the bedroom, where a figure lay in his boxers, lit only by the dull glow of the TV. He appeared to sport vertical stripes across his face, suggesting he was a type of badger, but from the way he lay draped across the sheets, he could have easily been mistaken for a painted sloth.

Aquerne's tiny hand reaches up the wall and taps the rocker switch on the wall, turning on the ceiling light. The badger squints as his eyes adjust to the light. He looks at you quizzicaly.

"Who's that?"

Aquerne slides up next to Brock and sits on the bed. "This is a friend of mine. She's going to help with our relationship problems."

Brock sits up and rolls his eyes. "We don't have any problems, babe," he moans.

"Brock..." Aquerne sighs, "you left the kitchen a mess and came in here to watch TV. You don't have a job; you could at least help ou--"

"I told you I would clean it up," he cuts her off. "I told you to just give me a minute."

"You had all morning, but you came in here to watch TV instead." the squirrel ejects, agitated.

"My favorite show was on! I was going to get to it after!" the badger retorts.

"Well you didn't."

You stand awkwardly in the doorway. Maybe this is a bigger issue than you know how to fix...
