[Dualscar is soaking wet, his hair slicked back by water and wearing no shirt. His fins are quite comfortable, though, settled against the sides of his face in a manner that anyone who knows sea trolls would see means he's content and not agitated.]

So all a this is pretty fuckin' inconvvenient to evveryone. I thought I'd throww it out there that if anyone's got somethin' they need recovvered from their homes, I could make myself and my creww avvailable.

A course it wwon't be free, but I'm not necessarily needin' payment up front. I knoww most a you can't offer much I need right at the moment. But wwe can exchange favvours for the future.

Contact me here or direct a message to my SFC if you need somethin'.

[NB: This offer includes services from Cronus and Eridan! Of course, he didn't bother to ask them first...But he may send them to get stuff for your characters instead of going himself, if he's busy or doesn't feel like it.]

Well, she did jump in after me.

[That helped.]

[At the mewl, Darkleer tries to pull ahead just a bit.]

I'll get it. With you, it might think you're a light snack.

[devwocean]

Wwell, that's good, at least.

[He holds back a bit, craning his neck to look for the cat. A bedraggled black shape peers down at them]

Wwhat, you think it'd try to take a bite out a me?

[aim_exorable]

Well, you don't exactly seem to have the best of effect on... cats.

[devwocean]

[Smirk] I havve a pretty fuckin good effect on some a them, actually.

So howw are wwe goin' to get the pouncebeast down?

[aim_exorable]

I think that's giving yourself a bit too much credit, considering cats often eat fish.

I think I have something in my sylladex that might encourage it. [He swims forward a little until he manages to feel something underneath his feet just enough for him to balance himself. A small little bag pops out from his sylladex, and he holds it up. Catnip- something you carry around when your 'daughter' and moirail are both cat trolls.]

[devwocean]

No cat's evver gonna eat me.

[He frowns as he watches. The kitten sniffs, extending his little head out as far as he can to try to catch a whiff of that tempting treat]

[aim_exorable]

Of course not.

[Tone of the disbeliever! Darkleer just continues to make small encouraging noises, waving the treat enticingly.]

[devwocean]

[The kitten climbs slowly down, sniffing and finally takes a lick of the treat]

Wwhy are you sayin' it like that?

[aim_exorable]

Hush, I'm trying to coax the cat.

[He carefully tries to pet the kitten, doing his best to encourage it into his hands.]

Besides, I hardly think I'm using a strange tone of voice.

[devwocean]

[Dualscar huffs and falls silent, then walks up beside Darkleer. He's starting to wonder why he even came, when Darkleer's doing everything.

He reaches up, holding out his hand, and the kitten mews and hops into his palm, snagging a bit of the catnip with his paw and settling in to drool over it enthusiastically]

Ugh...wwhat's wwrong wwith it?

[aim_exorable]

[Tell him or don't tell him?]

[...His moirail is practically part cat, he won't tell him.]

Well it is an animal, Dualscar, drooling and such is not particularly outside of its nature.

[devwocean]

This is wwhy I prefer huntin' animals to rescuing them. [The cat is industriously licking his wrist now. Sigh]

[aim_exorable]

I don't doubt that. Now, I believe it's time to abscond to the surface.

[devwocean]

An wwe can't get there soon enough for my taste. [And he's off, careful to keep the pouncebeast out of the water as he goes]

[aim_exorable]

Just don't get upset at the cat.

[devwocean]

I wwon't. It ain't like the cat could knoww.

[aim_exorable]

What a wonderfully mature response.

[devwocean]

There's nothin' immature about knowwin' that there's no point in getting angry at a dumb animal.

[aim_exorable]

Oh, I was agreeing with you, no worries. Did it come off as sarcasm?

[Oblivious b100b100ds for 100, Alex]

[devwocean]

Nevvermind.
