[gluttoning]

If we lose any dodos, I'll make a new PC! Unless I'm the lost dodo in which case y'all are on your own.

Woah, that's direct.

[ that does seem to snap him back into attention; he shakes his head. ]

Sorry, there might have been a misunderstanding. I'm not into, ehm, you? Not like that, at least.

[ listen i have enough canon evidence to make the executive decision and say that crea is fruity. he is, however, embarrassed that this conversation took this wild of a turn. ]

Though time really does change people's perception of what's good and bad, huh...

[stilllovesyou]

I didn't think you were, which is why I asked if that's what you were worried about.

[Apparently Nona took one look at Crea and declared him a fruit. Crazy.]

[dakicover]

Glad we got all of that straightened out.

[ he's gay as hell, he doesn't want to fuck her. all's well in the world, and he's so confused about this whirlwind of a conversation. ]

My name's Crea.

[ might as well introduce himself now that he's been read to filth. ]

[stilllovesyou]

I'm Nona. It's really nice to meet you!

[dakicover]

Likewise!

[ now that they're done with that accursed subject, he can start to talk about more normal things that don't give him psychic damage. such as- ]

What's the dog's name?

[stilllovesyou]

[Nona lights up like a christmas tree with excitement. It's her favorite subject, possibly even more so than the science hour.]

Noodle! Say hi, Noodle!

[Noodle barks by way of saying hello.]

Noodle says that Noodle loves you. I love you too!

[dakicover]

[ oh, soft...

crea's smile softens as he sees both nona and noodle lighten up with the attention. he bends down just a bit, extending his hand out for the dog to sniff and maybe pet ]

Oh, you can understand Noodle? That's awesome, I've never met anyone that could talk to animals. Have you two been friends for long?

[stilllovesyou]

Animals don't really talk like people do. They more just express their feelings.

[They don't lie either which is refreshing.]

We've been friends for a large part of my life, I think.

[dakicover]

Ah, is that so? So you can understand their feelings?

[ ... ]

I see. That seems nice. I have a best friend that I've known most of my life, too... though he's a human.

[ therefore it's a bit more complicated to understand his feelings. ]

[stilllovesyou]

Humans are harder.

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

[dakicover]

…Ain’t that right.

[ crea’s smile weakens a bit, tilting his head to the side. ]

Aren’t you a human, though? Don’t need to place yourself apart from us.

[stilllovesyou]

I'm not placing myself apart.

I just don't know who I am. Nobody does.

[dakicover]

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 ]

[stilllovesyou]

Um.

[She's realizing she might have said too much.]

I can't say. I'm not supposed to.

[dakicover]

…

[ oh. hm. maybe it’s better not to push, then.

he nods. ]

Don’t worry about it, then. I won’t pry. [ everyone’s got secrets! no need to worry about it. ] I’m sure that won’t change the fact that we’ll hopefully be friends.

[stilllovesyou]

Thank you for not prying, I'm glad we're friends.

[No "hopefully" about it.]

Maybe I can tell you at some point.

[dakicover]

[ 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.

[stilllovesyou]

You go through time?

[!!!!]

[dakicover]

A little bit. Technically it's not me who performs the spell, I'm more like a passenger. [ he rubs the back of his neck sheepishly, a wry smile on his face. ] It's part of my job, which ain't the best, but at least that part is fun.
