"Ya dun gotta be nervous 'round me kid. I like ya. Yer secrets are safe with me. I know a thing or two 'bout not wantin' ta much o' Domino's attention on ya."

He hooos, wanting to give you a pat but that might startle and lead to a box and then a breaking of the box and if Eidos didn't like it, this kid might have a heart attack.

*no yeah you should be thankful he only has vague memories of what happened. ... he makes the phone vanish though*

F-fine. I'll try... not to be.

"Yeah? Thanks. Lemme know if it starts gettin' ta much an' ya need ta fidget with yer gadget.

So, do ya even get out much with yer buddies, Lucius?"

Mostly ... Landrobe...

*and Landrobe is very clearly not the kinda guy who's up for "getting out" most of the time.*

"...Yeah?

What about the other three? I mean, Esch's prolly busy, but ya could 'ang out with Mith-...

Garum, 'e seems like a nice kid if a lil' uh..."

Don't say grumpy, you're not stooping to that level.

"Prickly."

Edited 2017-01-17 16:56 (UTC)

Garum is... unfriendly, most times... even though we do try to get that to change...

Escher is busy a lot... and Mithra can get overbearing... Even if they're both nice. Mithra is like... the type of older sister who can do too much, but you can't really tell her to stop...?

I-it doesn't matter, though. Landrobe is the one that I've... known for the longest.

"He seems like he's, uh. Warmin' up. Kinda. Domino seems like it's bein' kind ta 'is social circles.

Yeah, I, uh. Got that impression from Mithra.

Really? That sounds nice. All the way back ta grade school?"

Even farther than that... I've known him since as long as I could really remember. We're from the same town, so... we lived really close by to each other.

"Really? Where're ya folks from? I ain't ta familiar with Earth's geography, 'sides maybe a 'uge map o' the continents."

Ah... um... Aomori...

*he said that pretty quietly, but you could tell what it is. that's a decent distance away from Domino's area, yeah.*

"Huh. Ya all from there, or jus' decided ta start a pro team an' got the others on it?"

He gestures for you to walk with him as he starts walking.

"Sorry if I'm askin' so many questions. I keep meanin' ta ask Esch some stuff but I start lookin' at 'er an' gettin' distracted."

He says with a big, goofy grin on his face.

Well... Garum, Landrobe, and I got accepted to LDS and Duel Academy, respectively, so... I just ended up starting kinda late...

... are you... happy around her?

*following after you*

He blinks.

"Absolutely 'appy, yeah. 'sbeen quite some time since I was this 'appy 'round a girl. Should I not be?"

O-oh, no. I don't mean my question like that...

I guess it's just... weird to hear, that someone is happy around one of us... Though I guess Escher's about the nicest one... and most confident...

"...really? Ya'll seem like great folks. Why wouldn't someone be 'appy ta be 'round ya? I know Garum's got himself a..."

He gestures vaguely.

"Whatever the 'ell 'e an' the lil' demon girl are doin'."

I don't know what he's doing about her... when I talked about it with him, he just got mad at me...

And... I dunno, I just don't think... I'm really that enjoyable to be around...

"Then they're datin'. Or that weird nebulous teenage stage jus' 'fore datin'."

He nods sagely.

"Huh? Yer a lil' nervous, but all nervous people got a reason fer it. Lemme tell ya somethin' kid. I wasted alot o' time doin' shit I didn't like an' I've decided I ain't gonna do that. If I didn't think ya'd be good ta 'ang out with, I wouldn't be 'ere with ya."

Garum isn't... a dating type... Or more he's never been on a date...

*... fidgets a bit with his hands*

Are you sure it's not just because you want to be... how'd Landrobe put it... "A bad influence"?

"All o' ya'll dun quite strike me as the datin' type, really. But, give 'er, like. Three more days."

He laughs.

"'s a lil' bit o' that, yeah. Or a good one. Jus' dun think I can do much ta be a good influence mos' days.

Speakin' o', Monday's the day the ogre an' I go ta seedy spirit 'ang outs an' pick fights with people 'oo think they might be tough shit while he tries ta get a finger on the illegal shit goin' down.

Wanna tag 'long?"

*three days. what is Trendafilka going to do to poor Garum.*

... That sounds like a bad influence, to me.

... though Eidos might want to come. That sounds like something he'd like.

Cyril has no idea, but suspects that's probably the max she can wait before she does something else.

... He's terribly wrong. The max is about another day.

"A bad influence wouldn't give ya a choice. I'm jus' feelin' out yer stomach fer some o' the shit I get up ta.

Some o' the smugglers pay me ta not rat 'em out ta the Ogre or the powers that be."

So THAT'S what he's doing for a living.

"Ah, well, uh..." He scratches at his head at the mention of Eidos.

"Next fight night I'll see 'bout takin' 'im. This is yer day, kid. What do YOU wanna do?"

*... he has to stop and think for a bit.

... he gets an idea though.*

There's something I... would like to see up close, but I've been kinda afraid to really do it, since I don't know if there's restrictions on going near it, but...

I want to see the remains of that Momentum facility that was here.

"Yeah?"

He grins real wide.

"Lemme text the ogre that I'm gettin' inta a different pile o' trouble, an' we'll 'ead that way, aight? When that shit went up, ya 'ad ta be a lil' kid, yeah? I ain't seen it myself, so this sounds like a good fuckin' night!"

*he's actually kinda surprised you took it, but-- whatever works.*

A-alright. Thank you.

He fiddles around with his phone before dropping it back into his jacket pocket and starts walking again.

"Ya fine with feet? I can go get my bike, if ya'd prefer ta ride 'long."
