Taffy: Hi there, would you like a muffin? You must’ve worked up quite an appetite with all that guild work! Even a scout has an important role!
“I’m not going to be taking food from a stranger, especially not anything that is unpackaged and clearly handmade,” Crow speaks in a deadpanned tone, his antennae give a single flick of irritation. He’s not stupid. Though the chances that this random tourist would try to poison him aren’t too high compared to others, the risk was still far too much. Besides it not like he needed to eat, regardless of how much Cherry would needle him into having some sort of snack every so often.
“Anyways,” he chirped, spinning on his heel to face away, “I have a job to do. Follow at your own risk, I’m not helping any of you stalkers with any traps. Have fun with your team blueberry!” Crow throws a mock salute towards Lupin as he scampers to the entrance of the dungeon.
“Wait,” Lupin looks up from where he had been sitting, a large distance between him and the twins, “You’re ah going now?”
Pausing midstep, Crow turn back to look at the riolu. He gave him an unimpressed look, raising his eyebrow as he spoke, “yeah. It’s my job moron.”
“Ah- well,” Lupin fumbles over his words for a second, ears pinning back as he tried to look anywhere but at Crow, “it could be dangerous. Maybe I should uh go with you! To help scout?”
Silence stretched between them. Lupin fidgeted with his paws while Crow simply stared at him.
“snrk,” Crows annoyed expression cracked and within seconds he was cackling with laughter, “pfft no way in giratina’s pit blue boy! Nah you get to enjoy the twin terrors all to yourself. Enjoy your break while I toss myself into the fire. I’m sure you can get along over how much you hate me.” Crow didn’t bother waiting for Lupin’s response and darted away into the darkness of the dungeon.
