Dancing Fox Inn X: Four Left Paws

[Arkhosia]

Alysha thinks on that for a moment.

That...makes a lot of sense, actually.

Sophia nods.
Yeah, it does. He's a good horse, I must say.
Sophia replies. Petting the horse.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Alysha smiles and nods.

Then she goes to hug Clyde. Because he looks huggable.

[Arkhosia]

Alysha smiles and nods.

Then she goes to hug Clyde. Because he looks huggable.

Clyde is hugged!
Clyde, being a horse, doesn't hug back. Just stands there, sniffing Alysha.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Alysha is perfectly fine with that. She just wanted to hug him anyways.

Ya know, I wonder...If I was a lion, do you think I could talk to him?

[FireFox]

Kynegetis appears in a chair at a table for two. She looks around the Inn, then checks her watch. 100 minutes until the time she agreed to meet Eira here. ... Oh come on, that's not fair.

((I apologize to all the people to whom I haven't replied: Finals start tomorrow, and I've been super stressed, and I haven't been keeping up at all. I'll be back for actual RP probably this friday, maybe saturday if I just need sleep.))

"What's not fair?" Naku asks curiously, eyebrow raised. "Can I get you anything?"

[Zefir]

"They don't," Elendro says, shrugging. "I saw people entering and exiting via portal to Inside. I have no clue what the galactic co-ordinates to this place are."

"Well, the problem maybe that there are no co-ordinates. The Nexus itself got no real shape. That's why for example you find Trogs every seventh door in this city. And Outside is even harder, a town you know was half an hour away can a day later be 2 days away."

[FireFox]

The assassin goddess looks up at the vampire. I am early for a, a meeting. I'd rather not eat or drink without her.

"Oh, all right." Naku says, nodding sagely. "I understand that.

What meeting is it? If you don't mind my asking. Since you do have time . . ."

[Ionbound]

Meanwhile, outside the Inn, it begins to rain. Looks like Eira is coming soon.

((I'll let Kyne and Naku finish their conversation.))

[FireFox]

A. Meeting. The young woman bites off each word, smothering her embarrassment with gruff. Then relents, after she realizes she's being rude. Drinks. Without the chance of being attacked or caught up in a brawl.

Naku, instead of taking offense, grins slightly. "All righty. A peaceable drinking meeting it is.


You look . . . somewhat familiar, though." Naku says, after a bit of a pause. "Do you have any siblings?"

[FireFox]

Yes. Several. Kyne leans back in her chair, staring at Naku appraisingly. None that look like me, though. I have a relative named Callie I resemble. In as far as hair color and taste for tight black clothing runs. Callie is much more attractive than Kyne.

"Oh. I know Callie. She came through here a while back. She's actually one of the main reasons the DFI is able to be as peaceable as it is."

[FireFox]

The assassin blinks in surprise. Really? She... isn't exactly the peaceable type.

[Arkhosia]

Sophia looks at Alysha confusedly.
What's a lion?

[Mee]

The assassin blinks in surprise. Really? She... isn't exactly the peaceable type.

"I guess she just wanted to help me out? I gave her some free drinks." Naku says, shrugging slightly. "And we were having some problems around then of people ignoring the 'yo, be nice' rule."

[KerfuffleMach2]

Sophia looks at Alysha confusedly.
What's a lion?

Alysha tilts her head a bit. She found it hard to believe that somebody didn't know what a lion was, but she wasn't gonna mention that.

Uh, well, they're kinda like a cat, but really big. Really big. And boy lions usually have a bunch of extra fur around their head and neck called a mane. I spent some time as one, once. It was fun.

Cool! I always thought it would be neat to be a cat of some kind, but over all I prefer being human.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Alysha nods in agreement.

Yeah, I probably could have stayed there, but I didn't want to. I like being human, too.

Well...mostly human, now, I guess.

[Arkhosia]

Alysha nods in agreement.

Yeah, I probably could have stayed there, but I didn't want to. I like being human, too.

Well...mostly human, now, I guess.

Yeah, having hands are pretty awesome.
I wonder of animals would think it'd be near to be a human, but much prefer being an animal.
Sophia muses, petting Clyde.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Alysha shrugs.

Probably. I mean, that's what they're used to, right?

[Arkhosia]

Alysha shrugs.

Probably. I mean, that's what they're used to, right?

Sophia nods.
Probably. I wonder what animals think sometimes. Are animals as intelligent, maybe even more intelligent than, us, for example?

She replies.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Alysha grins.

Trust me. They're intelligence can vary as much as people's.

[Arkhosia]

Alysha grins.

Trust me. They're intelligence can vary as much as people's.

Neat! How'd You learn that?
Sophia asks

[KerfuffleMach2]

I've been to a world with just animals, no people. It's called the Pridelands. While I was there, I was a lion. It was fun.

[PallElendro]

"Well, the problem maybe that there are no co-ordinates. The Nexus itself got no real shape. That's why for example you find Trogs every seventh door in this city. And Outside is even harder, a town you know was half an hour away can a day later be 2 days away."

"I wouldn't know," Elendro mutters, turning in his seat. "What I did find was a shuttle to HALO and a portal to the rest of Nexus, and I think it's best for both my galaxy and the Nexus if I keep it a secret."

[Mee]

His face drops a bit further.

"Ah." Suscipio says flatly, taking another drink with his eyebrows raised. "Regardless, I would put my money on the guess that it was easily one of the greatest times of his life. Not all us lucky guys get to be dunked in a moonlit lake by someone as fair as yourself, miss. I'm sure you made the boy happy, at least that day."

With this, his smirk returns.

"And speaking of money, perhaps I could get our hungry friend over here some more to eat?"

"Possibly. I . . . I don't know. I can't say for sure.

But thank you." Naku says, smiling happily. She had been feeling pretty down about it, but Suscipio was helping. "That means a lot.

Yes, absolutely. What do you want to get for him?"

[Solidarity]

"Possibly. I . . . I don't know. I can't say for sure.

Eying the hunks of meat the man kept wolfing down with alarming speed, Suscipio chuckles.

"I suppose the food's unneeded after all, miss." his look flicks back to the woman as he puts on a more serious demeanor. "You two were close I take it? It's...hard to go from friends to, well, more. All the harder should anything happen to him."

A pause, and a weightless, short-lived sigh.

"I won't be forcing you to speak of anything that would unsettle you. We could talk about anything else if you prefer." he does a poor job of masking his concern.

Naku chuckles as well a bit.
"Aaall righty. No food for him, then.

We were close, yeah." Naku says, nodding once. "That was the problem, though. He wanted to go from friends to something else. I . . . I didn't. Now he's not around."
