What, so you don't think we're best friends?

[ Yeah? ]

[onlypets]

[He pauses to give Wolfwood a Look over his shoulder. Wow.]

Come with me, best friend.

[He walks out of the Peacekeeper Arizona room and into another one.]

[crucifer]

You're still going for more photos? Maybe you're gettin' fond of this place.

[ Wow... bestie rapport... ]

[onlypets]

We do not have things like this where I'm from, so it's interesting to see. I have a duty, however, so no matter how interesting it is, I must return home.

[The new room unfortunately has a pink, teenage girl's bed with brightly decorated walls and a bunch of trendy decor.

D gestures at the bed, but at Wolfwood. Like... get on.]

[crucifer]

[ Huh. ]

Seriously?

[ Just looking at D like hey I know we're all joking and buddy-buddy (no) but we have standards. I have standards. ]

Pick a better room.

[onlypets]

You wouldn't go in room order with your best friend...?

[Pretends to have a :pleading_face: expression. He puts T-chan on the bed, and then he climbs onto one side, lounging experimentally. T-chan sort of looks around at this disaster; he grunts.]

Yes, it's not quite like the settee in the shop, I know. It's comfortable, though. [He peers at Wolfwood.] It's big enough you have your own side.

[crucifer]

You askin' me to bed?

[ Just bluntly says this. Looks at T-chan too. He doesn't seem very happy. ]

[onlypets]

Please. I'm a pet shop manager, not a harlot.

[T-chan finally settles down on the bed against D's front since D is on his side. D reaches up to pet him lovingly on the head and back of the neck.]

Neither of us fit the aesthetic of this room at all.

[crucifer]

Damn, going straight for harlot. Tough crowd.

[ D really just slutshamed him with zero hesitation. He's coming over and picking at these wall decorations... this... One Direction poster... hm. ]

Looks like... teen girl bedroom. I think. Who is this for?

[ Like, for photo opportunities. He knows he said it's for imagination and all that but who is wanting this. He's not a teen girl so how would he know... ]

[onlypets]

[He continues to pet T-chan, watching Wolfwood inspect the foreign room of a teenage girl. It's very funny to see.]

Weren't you the one who said they were for your imagination?

[Look, Wolfwood might not, but D will just say it. He uses his nails to give T-chan a headscratch exactly like one of those whisk-looking scalp scratchers.]

It doesn't sound like you have children. Or daughters, at least. [D's survey of the room is oddly indifferent. It sure is a girl's room.] Since neither of us are girls or daughters, I guess in this scene, we're meant to be terrible interlopers.

Perhaps we're the monsters under her bed.

[crucifer]

[ T-chan is so well pampered... live your best life, buddy. ]

It's still gotta be an imagination you like. Don't know anyone who wants to go out and take pictures in a place they don't care to be in.

[ He looks back at D, considering though. ]

Nah, don't have any kids of my own. Pretty familiar with 'em, though. Grew up being surrounded by brats.

Chased out my fair share of monsters under the bed.

[onlypets]

[His head tilts curiously. T-chan is very pampered, yes.

He thinks about it for a moment.]

Siblings of your own?

[crucifer]

Not by my blood, but I used to think of 'em like that.

[ Thinking about it, wondering how they're doing now... ]

[onlypets]

[Depression.]

An orphanage then. Unless you had a very large family.

[Honestly, Wolfwood truly has that Orphanage Energy, he must say.]

Were you the oldest, or just the least afraid?

[crucifer]

Could've just been some neighbourhood kids.

[ Doesn't really confirm nor deny though. ]

I'd say I was pretty tough to scare, yeah.

You? You kinda got that single kid feeling about you.

[ But according to Hei, I (Lowe) as a single kid apparently assign single child to everyone so what do I know!! ]

[onlypets]

Could have.

[Shakes your hand in single kid. Is this why we’re playing single kids…… I see.]

I have a grandfather, and I had a father. That is all.

[So Wolfwood was right.]

[crucifer]

[ In my defense I played Estinien who is a brother........ but he is also an orphan so like I guess so. ]

Guess we're kinda the opposite, then. Had more women around than men.

[ And fuck the few men that there were. ]

[onlypets]

[Thinks about all the sibling kids I play but the other sibling is dead or fucked up. Nods.

The look on his face as he peers at Wolfwood is strange and unreadable.]

I had not seen my father for a long time, not until recently. My grandfather raised me. [He lifts his eyes.] I never had a mother, or a nursemaid, or a nanny.

[crucifer]

Huh.

[ He's never had any of those either technically speaking, but he won't just put that out there without prompting. ]

You get along well with your gramps?

[onlypets]

[D has an inkling. Single child.]

Yes. We traveled the world, and he taught me many things.

[crucifer]

[ D's single inkly... ]

That sounds good. Always nice to have a reliable adult around.

[onlypets]

[Don't say it like that.]

Are you speaking from experience?

[crucifer]

[ Oh shijt the inknly ]

Maybe. It's been a long time since I last saw her, but had an auntie around who I liked. Always made time for me when I was havin' trouble, but she had a lot of things and other kids to look after.

[onlypets]

[NO.]

An auntie boy...

[T-chan's head gets a few more scritches, then he swings his legs over the side of the bed to sit up on the edge.]

So how does a boy with an auntie surrounded by other kids go from shooing away bed monsters to being burdened by priesthood?

[crucifer]

Don't say it like that. It's not like I followed her around like a duckling.

[ Pats on the head, the little things like thanks Nicholas. He's grateful to her nonetheless. ]

Guess I decided to graduate to a different kind of shepherding. From kids to lost lambs, now.
