[Another shrug.]

I don't know. She's been with me for a long time. She wasn't always there. But it's been a while.

[Is he fond? It's kind of hard to say. Maybe? Possibly. He isn't really sure how to address that, if he's honest.]

[bloodsins]

She your only companion? Sounds kinda lonely with just the two of you.

[...Hmm, that's kind of weird now that it's out there, probably because he was traveling on his own for a long while... Eh, better not to think too much about it.]

[terminalgene]

Yeah, she is.

[He's never found it lonely, really; Cibo is decent company, and she tends to keep him busy - whether on purpose or otherwise. Besides, if it was lonely before, then now it's going to be- ]

I'm used to being by myself. I don't travel with people.

[bloodsins]

[Yeah. That's a mood.]

Did she just invite herself along, then?

[terminalgene]

She does things like that.

[It doesn't sound affectionate, but it at least doesn't sound like he minds.]

[bloodsins]

Heh, yeah. It happens, I guess. Couple of kids started followin' after me awhile back and now it seems like I can't get rid of 'em or the people they keep recruitin'.

[...not that he minds at all, from the sound of it.]

[terminalgene]

...What are they like?

[Fair's fair in asking about that, really.]

[bloodsins]

Kanata's a do-gooder. You know the type, can't help stickin' their nose into everythin' and always tryin' to help, even when no one wants or needs it. Strong sense of justice, stronger ideals... the sorta kid that's gonna change the world somehow, or die in a blaze of glorious stupidity.

Misella's his friend and biggest supporter. She's real fond of him - or I guess what she thinks he should be. That idealism's real important to her, and she can't stand anyone who'll lead Kanata astray. I guess she's dedicated? She likes settin' stuff on fire almost as much as she likes Kanata, and she likes meat even more than that. She tried to kill me in my sleep once.

[A brief pause as he considers, and then Vicious nods.]

A pair of dumbasses.

[...he's pretty fond of this pair of dumbasses...]

[terminalgene]

[He seems to consider that for a moment before just...nodding a bit. A pair of dumbasses. Got it.

The plants here are nice to look at, on the occasions when he doesn't want to be reminded that he's just wandering around holding hands with someone on the world's worst first date; he's not familiar with them at all and it's obvious, and as day wears on into evening they start looking...well, decidedly like something worth looking at. It's pretty, if nothing else, and even if Killy isn't used to pretty things that exist solely for prettiness' sake he can't say he minds it, either.]

...This isn't as bad as it could have been.

[The whole...Synchrony thing. It's awkward, but it's not terrible.]

[bloodsins]

[These sure are some weird plants. That's about all the thoughts Vicious has for it, but hey, scenery is something, at least??]

C'mon, you thought it'd be worse? It's just holdin' hands.

[He squeezes Killy's with a smirk.]

[terminalgene]

[...That gets a Look, but he doesn't pull away or anything.]

I don't let people touch me, either.

[bloodsins]

Eh, that's fair. Glad you're willin' to make an exception just for me~

[No, he knows he is not going to get anything out of teasing Killy, but listen, he hasn't gotten sick of it yet!!]

[terminalgene]

You seemed most likely to agree without asking questions.

[...He literally just went VICIOUS, YOU HAVE NO STANDARDS in contacting you, uh.]

[bloodsins]

[YOU SURE DID MY DUDE]

Seems pretty straightforward, not sure why anyone would need to ask questions. You're welcome, though.

[terminalgene]

...Some people like to ask questions for the sake of asking.

[I mean, he's not wrong.]

[bloodsins]

Hah, yeah, there's always gonna be people like that. Guess you already made a few friends who'd start pryin' into your business here, huh?

[terminalgene]

Not really. One, maybe.

[Someone he met immediately after arriving here. They did fortune-telling stuff together.]

[bloodsins]

"Maybe"? Is that "maybe" to them bein' a friend or to them pryin'?

[terminalgene]

[...He has to think about it.]

Both.

[bloodsins]

So you figured it'd just be safer to turn to me for help?

[terminalgene]

Something like that.

[...Yeah.]

Why did you choose this place for it?

[bloodsins]

Gives us somethin' to stare at while we're wanderin'. Better than just sittin' around, right? I figure we did enough of that already.

[You know, while we were in time-out!!]

[terminalgene]

...Yeah.

[And for a moment it looks like that's all she wrote; give him a bit.]

I got my gun back.

[...Sir.]

[bloodsins]

[Thanks for not totally leaving him hanging here...]

Yeah? Did you bring it?

[...on a date????]

[terminalgene]

Yes...?

[...ON A DATE????]
