[ but there is konpeito, and he blinks a little. he's also staring at will's face like he's searching for something before he just sticks his tongue out. konpeito him. ]
[ he doesn't sound sorry... also listen. it'd be weird to call satan loud when he is dead. he is in fact very silent. but he also had a loud personality ]
Yup. [ the puff's ears flick like a cat's, and it stretches out a little so it's closer to danny's hand while staying on nico's shoulder. ] They weren't really in a good situation when we first met. So when we were able to, it was only fair to offer them their own freedom.
[ this is an extremely condensed version of what happened, and it's a little obvious there is more to it that he's not willing to say publicly judging by how he's saying this, but it's close enough to the truth. ]
[ okay so danny is already absolutely infatuated with this thing but now i lisa would also die for it. he smiles softly, not even realizing it, as he will continue to pet it for as long as he is welcome ]
[ nimona is not cat-form but he does reach up slowly so she can track his movements before petting her hair briefly. ]
...did you know I actually only came in here once this week? I didn't think to come back and check stuff out. [ it doesn't mean anything, but it's easy and conversational and a distraction from counting down to the moments they're possibly losing another couple of friends. ]
Mostly the way they're created. Which is sort of a complicated story, but...think of them as a pure being. They're very much themselves and nothing else. [ he shouldn't offer, because he looks like he doesn't exactly want to explain, but: ] I can tell you more about it later if you're really that curious.
[ danny may have a few rights at another time if he desires. the puff is oblivious to nico's plight and is digging its claws into his hoodie as it purrs(?) with the pets. ]
[ ...he just pokes the screen to drop a little pink berry and kind of goes "huh." out loud. ]
It can't be that hard to make a watermelon, can it? [ it's casually said possibly to bait her and further distract her, but also because he, a fool, does not understand how it feels when gravity painfully works against you. ]
[ me squinting at the art like "it has a chin area and that's good enough" so it will allow for chin scritchies and chirp happily. honestly he really should not be allowing this because this is putting his shoulder in an awkward position but both danny and the puff seem happy so...whatever. ]
Okay. [ :thonk: but anyway, he's glancing around the room. ] ...not so bad to be with other people, right?
[ it's better than he expected to be honest so he'll take it. ]
If it makes you feel better, I also didn't know half of these people would be here. But I'll take "could be worse" over "outright terrible, Nico, you made a huge error in judgement."
[will is seized by the wild urge to feed him the konpeito with a kiss. he does not do that, because he's not sure if nico would be okay with that and also there are a ton of people in this internet cafe, so instead he just deposits the piece of candy directly onto his tongue.]
