It looks kinda like Rexy, actually! A Tyrannosaurus rex— [ side glance at Leng Feng, because it's been pretty hit-or-miss with people knowing what anything is ]

A dinosaur.

[ Oh, nice- he has to find a sturdy box to stand on in order to reach the inner mechanisms of the dinosaur head that makes its jaws open and close. chomp chomp at leng feng's head ]

[ he indulges himself with a final lil nibble at the end of Leng Feng's ponytail before Mikoto acquiesces and sets him free ]

I guess you could say it's like a wingless dragon! A real dinosaur wouldn't have let you off easily, though, especially a carnivore like the T-rex. It would've swallowed you whole.

Of course we don't eat people.

[ what a non sequitur ]

[ he puts his hands up, ready to deny, but it's... complicated? ]

I'm not. At least, I don't see myself as one. I'm really just a normal guy! Can we leave it at that?

I promise you that I am not a cannibal. As far as I'm aware. [ which really could go either way.

But anyways. He sets the dinosaur head down and goes rooting around for other things, rummaging to occupy his hands, and not have to meet Leng Feng's eyes ]


You were talking about demons before, too. I don't live in that sort of scary world, with dragons and demons and cannibals.

[ it's really the saddest thing that the one person who's been friendly to him is the one who he can't meet eyes with

he does glance back, though, when asked. looks him up and down, briefly ]


...No. You haven't given me any reason to think so. [ ends it there, before the "yet" ]

...Yeah.

[ The smile does settle him, and Mikoto mirrors it reflexively. It sits natural on his face, nervous as it is. ]

All things considered, I am glad you and I are sharing a trailer. I think we'll get along!

No, they can fire us if we do a bad job.

[ is that not a perfectly reasonable thing employers do? if you suck, they just dump your body into the ocean and move on. ]

[ it takes him a moment, but then he laughs. ]

Is that how you save people from drowning?

[ Mikoto is very patient.


but after a certain point, there's no kidding himself. ]


You really mean that, don't you? Juggling water around like some fountain.

Oh! No, it's not that. It's not a matter of lying or not, it's just that I'm still trying to get used to all of that.
