He just bit you. And he looks tough enough to survive a little duel.

[ With the obvious signs of distress on Fuwari's face, maybe Rokurou's not going to get his to-the-death fight that he'd been hoping for... ]

[priforpalps]

Anyone would be scared if guests dropped by unexpectedly.

[ Fuwari isn't just going to make a face. Fuwari is going to try to insert herself between Rokurou and his quarry. ] I'll explain to him that it was rude, so, please.....?

[uwannagobro]

[ Annnd Rokurou's going to hook an arm around her waist when the rock monster makes another swipe for them both, dodging back once more and this time keeping his arm around her waist. ]

How about we compromise and leave him alone?

[priforpalps]

I'm sure he'll understand...

[ But he's already so very distressed. Fuwari thinks this over. ] All right.

Mister Rock, we won't bother you any more, so no more hurting strangers, okay?

[ This smile could make flowers sprout, even here. ]

[uwannagobro]

[ If this actually works, Rokurou's ready to give up alcohol. ]

[ ... For like two days. ]

[ Maybe. ]

You sure about this, kid?

[priforpalps]

Yes.

[ That smile just got even brighter. ] All animals are friends, you see.

[uwannagobro]

[ I'm not sure I should be allowed near this level of purity. ]

Never saw that before, myself.

[priforpalps]

Don't worry.

[ Fuwari waves to the pile of rocks. ] Everyone means well. Truly, truthfully.

[ It is hard to tell what a pile of rocks intends....

...but at least it isn't attacking any more. ]

[uwannagobro]

... Riiiight...

Well, nice going either way, kid.

[ Rock I will come back for you once I return this tiny to a ship. ]

[priforpalps]

[ Fuwari giggles nervously when she's praised. It wasn't anything special... ]

You weren't injured, were you?

[ It'd be awful if you were. ]

[uwannagobro]

Me? Nah, I'm fine, it'll take more than that to give me a dent. What about you though, you're the one who took a bite.

[priforpalps]

This is nothing...

[ A smile. ]

I've been told I, too, have rocks for brains.

[ So she feels a kinship with the animals of this planet! It's all good! ]

[uwannagobro]

Well if you ask me, you've got some pretty smart rocks in there then.

[ Pretty brave rocks too, to jump up and do what she did. Rokurou can respect that. ]

[priforpalps]

[ Fuwari colors a bit, but keeps smiling. Praise...she just did what came naturally, really... ]

Shall we head back so he can finish his nap?

[uwannagobro]

Might as well.

[ Rokurou can always sneak back later for part 2 of their fight once he's sure he's not going to be followed by little pacifists. ]

[priforpalps]

Then, have a nice day...

[ Fuwari curtseys to the pile of rocks and begins heading back. She's happy everything was settled peacefully.

Far as she knows. ]
