(why didn't he spend curfew with nero wow)

Ah, dinner!

(He's excited!!)

I was wondering what to eat.

(Did he just

invite himself to Nero's dinner.... yeah.)

[perfectdistance]

You invitin' yourself along?

[cranelike]

Why mention it if you aren't going to invite me?

(Hello?)

[perfectdistance]

'cause 'm on the beach for it.

If ya catch a fish, I'll cook it for ya.

1/2

[cranelike]

(




Catch... a fish....)

[cranelike]

(He has his pride!)

Then I'll be sure to catch one! I'll surprise you with my catch!

[perfectdistance]

[Hmm... Works for him!

Nero starts heading out to the pier with his fishing rod.]

Lookin' forward to it.

[cranelike]

(Then there is Tsuru with no fishing rod. But he's going to follow along and just? Leave his hole? It's fine, the tide will cover it up probably.)

Do you usually fish? Or is it something you started here?

[perfectdistance]

I do it sometimes.

[If he goes out to the lake in South Country.]

[cranelike]

A cook and a forager... how useful.

(Anway to the pier they go probably? He has no fishing rod and he doesnt really plan on fishing though..... so he'll just? Take a seat?)

Mitsu-bou and the others usually handle all of that back home.

[perfectdistance]

Your friends?

[He'll get the fishing rod after Nero is done with it.]

[cranelike]

(Stop, he's trying to weasel out of the boring work.)

Mhmm. They were the ones who made my lunch before I left.

(The lunchbox they couldn't find......)

[perfectdistance]

Sorry 'bout your lunchbox.

[The line gets cast.]

[cranelike]

It's fine.

(Patting Nero on the head.)

I'm sure it was delicious.

[perfectdistance]

[There's a moment of utter bewilderment, before he's like "oh yeah, grandpa vibes."]

Maybe you'll get it back once you're home.

[cranelike]

Ah, I'm sure Mitsu-bou will prepare a wonderful feast, too.

(Raising his head and looking quite proud as he talks about his friends.)

I wonder how long I'll be away, though~

[perfectdistance]

Hard to say. The angel guys didn't have a timeframe when I talked to 'em.

[cranelike]

I've heard the same.

Hmm... Let's see... (He's counting on his fingers,) I was ready to be gone for at least two decades. No more than four.

More than that, and I might grow impatient.

[perfectdistance]

Dunno how well the humans are gonna hold up if it's four whole decades of bein' stuck here.

[cranelike]

(nero: think of the humans
tsuru:
nero:
tsuru:




Tsurumaru is quiet, thinking about this. And then he'll just lean back on the palm of his hands, look out at the sea, and


sigh)

Their lives are short.

[perfectdistance]

They can fit a lot in a short amount of time.

[But it's still... Really short.]

[cranelike]

(Tsurumaru isn't going to say anything else! But Kiku will hop on the pier next to him, twitter, and give a curious head-tilt before shifting forms into an otter that slips into his lap. Tsurumaru will scratch at the back of her neck quietly, )

It's dangerous here.

(A change of topic? Maybe????)

[perfectdistance]

[Disce sneezes into snake and then leopard cat flopped awkwardly onto Nero's lap. It's fine, it's fine. Her tail's slightly fluffed.]

Two bodies in one week? Ain't great.

[Who's next?]

[cranelike]

An enemy we haven't seen yet and don't know how to fight...

(A lot of problems here.)

How troublesome.

[perfectdistance]

'nd somebody else's conflict to resolve.

[It's all bad, fam.]
