DODO CABIN CATCHALL
Yeah, something like that.
[He's pretty sure testing that limit would be something that could get very out of hand, very fast. But there was a time and place for that.
His brows raise slightly at the question.]
Require? Mm. I don't know that I require anything. I just eat, and I prefer it to be good.
I'm in the mood for a few black tapir steaks. Maybe a couple dozen vampire bat sandwiches as a snack. But they don't have those at the buffet. So I can do without.
[His stomach growls once again, the redhead frowning with a hand tightening against his shirt.]
...It's probably better not to talk about it, little conqueror guy. I want to get my run in first.

Minerals in your blood. Exercising can make you lose a lot through sweat. It's good to make sure you compensate for it.
Humans back home call them "sports drinks". You can think of it like a flavored water drink, if you want.
[He squints at one of the labels on an unopened bottle, before handing it out to Crea.]
Orange flavored. Try it if you want. I'll drink it if you don't like it, so don't worry about wasting it.

Humans are harder.
They don't like to be understood. It makes them scared. I don't understand it but I love them.

I'm not placing myself apart.
I just don't know who I am. Nobody does.

Like...biologically? Or, like, metaphorically? Did you spontaneously spawn somewhere?
[ he tilts his head. ]
I mean, it probably doesn't mean anything from a stranger like me, but you seem pretty normal to me.
[ even the six-legged dog looks normal to him, considering his world has giraffe-pandas ]

Um.
[She's realizing she might have said too much.]
I can't say. I'm not supposed to.

[ He listens to this, something about "vampire bats"? What. He certainly doesn't remember seeing any vampires at the buffet. This explains why Beel is hungry, clearly. ]
Fine. Go get your run in and feed yourself.
[ He folds his arms over his chest. ]
And my name is Xiao.

Xiao.
[He just nods, a firm gesture of understanding. Weird name, but he's heard worse.
He grabs for his jacket, tying it around his waist.]
You don't need to sleep in the bathtub.

Thank you for not prying, I'm glad we're friends.
[No "hopefully" about it.]
Maybe I can tell you at some point.

[Noodle yips excitedly.]
See? Noodle loves you.
See? Noodle loves you.
And belly rubs, and chin scritches, and big bones for her to chew on. [She nods repeatedly.]
Oh, Noodle is a girl. Okay.
[Just nodding in return. You're the Noodle expert here, ma'am, he'll defer to you.]
Maybe we can find her some bones while we're here. I usually eat them, but I could try not to. Does she like big ones or little ones?

Noodle's a dog. [Angel always uses he, but dogs don't have gender.]
Normally human bones are the easiest to find where I come from. Something around that size... but I don't know if there's any here.

Oh, that's true. Sorry.
[Pet pets the Noodle dog as he thinks.]
I don't think we'll find human bones at a vacation island. Maybe animal bones, though. They might taste a little different than a human.
Is that okay, Noodle?

[ oh...
that's a nice feeling, to be called a friend. he smiles softly, nodding. ]
If you ever wanna tell me, I'll be all ears. Maybe I'll tell you some secret stories about where I'm from, too! One of the perks of time travelling is that I definitely have stories to tell.

The Angel lets me walk it and play with it and be friends with it, it's part of my role as the teacher's assistant.
[It's a job she takes EXTREMELY seriously.]
The Angel is the teacher in charge of the science hour at my school. Everyone really likes them.

I think Noodle would be okay with that. Meat is meat and bones are bones, after all.
[She says it so cheerfully but to a normal person, that would be a bit of a weird thing to say!
Nona looks at Noodle and Noodle barks in agreement.]
Noodle says yes.
