DIFFERENT SOULS - ONE LOVE.

“ah... it is good to see the art of dabbing has not been lost.”

he doesn’t know what’s harder - resisting the urge to roll his eyes, or walk away at the snarky comment - though, it was pretty funny. honestly, slightly unexpected. the guy had always seemed so damn serious, the fight-first-don’t-ask kinda guy. he was glad to see he was wrong, that fox had a sense of humor, venomous and sarcastic as it was. “yeah, yeah smart guy,” he snickers, leaning back a bit and stretching his back from side to side. “your secret’s safe with me, scouts honor,” his own retort just as sarcastic in nature, before cerulean gaze meets the vacuoan horizon. “... so - you and sun have some knowledge of this place. guess that’ll make all this that much easier, right?”

“shade. yeah. bullshit. this place could use more of it.”

he resists the urge to reel a bit at her sudden, strange behavior, instead deciding to act as if nothing was out of the ordinary. hands relax casually in the pockets of his coat, grin shrinking into a small smile. “a few shops, huh? i’m still not used to here - know any good places to get some cool clothes? weather’s turnin’ so i’m wanting to get a scarf or new boots.”

“hey, i may like to be clean and cut, but that doesn’t mean i can’t take an opportunity to get stronger. i am one of the top marksmen in my class, after all,” replies neptune with a snicker. arms raise above his head, lacing together behind fresh-cut blue locks. “... ‘sides, i’m a guy full of surprises. what can i say? makes sun stoked, too, so. y’know. win-win. don’t worry - we’re not gonna bring you guys down.”

“oh! belli.” charming grin on-hand, he strides casually up to the faunas. “what a pleasant surprise. didn’t think i’d see you out and about today. up to anything fun?”

it was hard to see, what with his frizzy hair being in the way - a hand reaches up, removing a wireless earbud from his ear. “ah... sorry.”

“ren - do you have a moment? i was hoping i could borrow you for a bit.”

“y’know, i feel like i should apologize for sun. sometimes, he’s the act before thinking kinda guy.” shrug of his shoulders, lips quirking up into a grin, eventually, he does sigh, arms raising and lacing his fingers together behind his head. “but, i can say he means well. don’t let ‘im get to ya, snow angel.”

“... are we... doing the right thing?”
