[Otoha looks flat-out exhausted when he hops onto the network.]

The creepy empty-eyed kid who barely spoke was me. Yes, there's reasons for why. People who know me probably can guess.

For everyone else, I'm... sorry.

[Ugh, that feels weird in his mouth.]

If you wanna yell at me for being freaky I'm in the greenhouse for a while.

Comments

[bakegarasu]

"... I'll try." It's... hard. To shake that kind of conditioning. Even when he won and saved the city, there was still so much destruction.

He sighs deeply and stretches a little bit. "... Were you headed somewhere, or did you just come here to find me?"

[worthallthis]

Trying is all they can ask. "I came here specifically for you," they say with a lop-sided smile. "To defend you against anyone who might think to yell at you. For the kid thing. Not that I think anyone will."

[bakegarasu]

"That's... nice of you." He brushes his hair out of his face and tilts his head a little at Soldat. "... You hungry?"

[worthallthis]

"Otoha. I am always hungry. It's a thing." But they look kind of wry when they say it, self-deprecating rather than offended. "You offering to go get food with me?"

[bakegarasu]

"... Yes, Soldat, I am offering to go get food with you. If you haven't noticed, I'm bad at this talking thing." His tone is flat, but he can't help but break 'character' by smiling slightly.

[worthallthis]

"It could've been an attempt to distract me!" they protest, but lightly and with a smile, and push back up to their feet. They offer Otoha a hand up, too. "Come on. Let's see if there's any chocolate in the storage car. That always makes me feel better."

I think we can end here!

[bakegarasu]

He snickers and also gets up. “I can make a few things now. Taste test for me? Rich is too nice sometimes...”

and wrap!

[worthallthis]

Soldat laughs a little and says, "I will try not to be too nice."

To the kitchen it is!
