[ Fuwari just smiles. What a kind person, to be caring about her.

But she's still holding the rock, and Keith having mentioning "rocks" puts this first and foremost in her mind. She looks around. ] Have you seen whether they sell feed here? I wouldn't want to get into space and have nothing to feed him.

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, that's probably true.

[She continues to approve of not punching rocks.

She glances out at all the rocks again. Still nothing moving that she can tell.]

If you find something are you going to get paid for it?

[uwannagobro]

[ Careful, such a warm welcome could really embarrass a guy. ]

[ Rokurou doesn't seem to be put off from the idea of space alcohol either way. He's even distracted enough by Zaveid's new look to give him a raised brow and a half-grin. Was Zavied always that big under that jacket of his? ]

Even if it's not the best, it's still worth trying. It's not like I could get anything like this anywhere else back home.

[uwannagobro]

[ A little girl yodeling out to a pile of rocks? Sure, Rokurou could roll with this. It's not like he can say this is the weirdest thing to have ever happened to him. And maybe she knows something he doesn't. With how new he is around here, it's a pretty likely scenario. ]

Huh, is that their language?

[ Do rocks have a language? ]

[uwannagobro]

I'm not sure. I wasn't really thinking about the money when I came out here.

[ That would just be a nice bonus on the rock-monster-fighting cake, really. So long as it was an interesting challenge, Rokurou was in. ]

[searingedgelord]

You were just thinking about fighting rocks.

[She's not surprised. It's pretty typical.]

[priforpalps]

It's how we call for faraway friends in the Palps. [ Fuwari leans forward, hands still cupped around her mouth, and tries again. ] Eeee heeeee!!! Maaa, maaaaaaaa!!!

[ But, since this doesn't appear to be working, she straightens up and frowns. ] Perhaps they're napping.

[nonono7]

Yes I did!

I am... maintenance!

I've done cleaning before, so I should be fine! As long as there's nothing for me to break.

[brothersboots]

[Yes, he does. How can he think that anyone raised by that idiot would be normal? How can anyone?]

Intelligence, something you're obviously lacking.

Can you even heal yourself if you get injured?

[brothersboots]

Are you sure about that? I've heard that stupid catches.

[And he can be pretty damn dumb sometimes. Honestly, picking fights with Shepherds? Who does....

Nevermind.]

[brothersboots]

Right. Interesting.

[It's a good thing he's kinda cute. And that she thinks of him as her... little human brother? Something. He's hers. They're stuck with each other.]

Of course they don't hate me. They annoy me, but they're not bad.

As for their obsession with Lailah, even I don't know why that is. You'll have to ask her.

[airily]

[ Rokurou deserves it.

All the same, he moves on in to settle down, crossing his arms over his chest as he looks the other man over. It's been so long and they were never exactly close, not like he was with Eizen, but all the same... ]

Yeah, but still... The stuff back home was good. You can give the humans that, at least.

[uwannagobro]

Nope.

[ It's not like that has ever been a problem before. Why ruin a good, wholesome entirely dangerous thing? ]

[uwannagobro]

Hahah, yup! You caught me.

[ Now if a rock monster would just show up... ]

[searingedgelord]

You're pretty obvious.

Have you seen anything yet?

[Because she sure hasn't.]

[uwannagobro]

[ He grins at the explanation, it's a good enough one for him, by all accounts, but he's not about to let go of a potentially good fight just because of a nap. ]

Well, if your call's not enough to wake them up, maybe something else will.

[ What exactly that is though, he's stumped on. ]

[searingedgelord]

[Shh. The Calamity Crew makes excellent decisions.]

Pretty sure.

[uwannagobro]

Not a thing. You think we came at a bad time?

[ He's going to be real disappointed if all the action happens after they leave. ]

[uwannagobro]

I can't argue that. They know their alcohol.

[ There's a mutual checking out, if you will. And yup, Zaveid's definitely bigger than Rokurou remembers him being. And, you know, his hair is longer but who notices trivial things like that. ]

[ Well, even if they weren't exactly buddies before, Rokurou has no problems with being tentative drinking buddies now. ]

So you don't got any recommendations then?

[priforpalps]

Perhaps if we found them a snack...Or played a game.

[ Fuwari puts a finger to her lips. What does she have with her?

Oh, yes. ] I wonder if they'd like some cheese....

[airily]

[ Bigger and better! He wanders over, flopping down in the chair opposite Rokurou, finally, before he breathes out a soft noise, kicking his legs out in front of him. ]

Nah. We've only just got here, so I haven't had a chance. How long have you been skulking around?

[searingedgelord]

I don't know. When's a good time for rock monsters?

[When would rock monsters be active and hunting, or doing whatever it is rock monsters do? Velvet doesn't know. If Phi or Eleanor were here they might have suggested reading up on this kind of thing, assuming there was any material available. Unfortunately, Velvet and Rokurou aren't really researching types.]

bar!!!

[rockily]

Nothing is better than a bottle of good whiskey.

[ Eizen trails behind him, invisible to most of course, hands resting upon his hips as with his lips upturned in a rather noticeable grin. Of course he goes and finds a bar first. ]

[monolike]

[How many ancient seraphim are gonna adopt him anyway]

Don't you two know each other from a while back? The way Atakk talked about it, it was like she was some kind of celebrity.

[uwannagobro]

[ It's okay Velvet, Rokurou kind of misses the nerd squad too. But Rokurou's got at least a bit of hunting knowledge to go by. ]

It's not like they need to hunt at night in order to stay hidden, so it has to be whenever their prey is active.
