[ action - the city ]

[nai wakes up to the sound of rain, although he doesn't recognize it for what it is. the droning noise could almost be considered pleasant, compared to the absolute nightmare he was finally pulling himself from-

or not. he sits up from the cafe table he'd been slumped over, his cheek still red from having laid it against the laminate surface for too long. he stares blearily out of the cafe window he was seated beside, brows pulling together as he frowns. the rain captures his attention as he slowly comes to, before all at once the gravity of his situation hits him with full force.

kni jumps up from the table so fast he nearly knocks over the chair, only realizing belatedly that he was holding something. an oddly shaped device and a... book? he decides he'll flip through it later as he rushes for the doors, nearly jumping out of his skin when someone - tall, human - opens the door from the other side. he only gives them a sparing glare before he pushes past them to run outside. right into the rain.

his heart racing, kni stands there. staring up at the sky, the feeling of rain soaking his hair and clothes is so new, he doesn't know what to process first. with his new items clutched to his chest, kni's gaze moves from the storm clouds above to looking around and noticing, with dawning horror, that he was surrounded by humans. this wasn't the desert planet they crashed into, either.

from one nightmare into another, kni picks a direction and starts walking.]

[ this is absolutely the fastest the humanoid typhoon has ever gotten dressed in his life. By the time Kni has finished splashing water over his head, Vash has managed to hang up his wet slacks and underclothes, and has managed to get fully dressed in a comfortable, but frumpy pair of white sweatpants and an offwhite turtleneck sweater.

hes now busying himself getting out a few choices of things for kni to wear, even if theyre mostly just oversized sweaters. two hoodies, one bright red and covered with candy pictures, the other a cozy brown. ]

Will you need a dragon-sized portion of lunch, too, then? I don't mind accomodating if you're super stuck.

[ he titters out one of those goofy laughs of his. ]

As for weird stuff, well. For me? My hair turned into fuzzy worms for a day, once.

Oh, and I can grow flowers. Just. Out of thin air.

No, I think I'll be fine for now. If not, I'll go harvest some of the apples as a snack later.

[Libra chuckles.]

There was also the time that all the animals hated you... it was funny to watch Fritter be angry at you all the time.

[kni lifts his head, wet hair now free of shampoo plastered to his face. when he looks to vash, he blinks at the new clothes. when did he change?]

You can grow flowers? I want to see.

[also, give him a towel, please. the furnace is warm, but the water was far from it and he's back to shivering again.]

... You really named that worm 'Fritter'?

[judgement be upon ye!]

[ no worries, no worries. He's bringing Kni over a towel, dropping it in his hands, and also putting that pile of sweaters on the table near the washbin so kni can go through them. ]

Dooooon't remind me of the time all the animals hated me.... half the chores I gotta' do in the garden is taking care of them, and I got bitten so many times that week for no reason...!

[ maybe it WAS a little funny that fritter was so aggro despite being a fucking APPLE but... ]

...Yeah? I, I thought fritter was a cute name. You know, 'cause he lives in an apple...

[ don't judge him!!! he'll... busy himself moving over to the table, taking out a cup, and he'll start... quite literally growing flowers out of his hand, one by one. A lily, a carnation, a rose, a red geranium...
putting each into a cup, slowly, one at a time, until there's a literal tiny bouquet inside. A centerpiece for the table. ]

[Libra laughs, resting his chin on the open windowsill.]

I think my favorite was when Nicholas kept rotating Fritter between the three of us when he was hissing at you.

[He watches the flower show for a moment.]

I'm assuming he hasn't met Squeaker yet... which is probably because he isn't the biggest fan of this form.

It hissed at you? [draping himself in a towel, he steps out of the basin with youthful ease, while careful not to slip on the water he drips everywhere. he stands there as he slowly dries his hair, watching vash produce flowers with curious focus. of course, he can recognize each flower as they form effortless from vash's finger and the last one...

kni turns away then to pick up one of the hoodies vash had set out for him, replacing it with the towel off to the side. putting it on, the fabric ends just past his knees. kni looks down at himself briefly with a tick to his brow. he lifts his head and finally looks to the window, where he can see libra's snout poking out.]

Who is Squeaker?

[ hoodies are cozy, right? they're cozy!! vash gives kni a little grin, moving to pull the hood on his own sweater up and over his head, as if showing it off. ]

It did hiss at me. Wolfwood did his best to keep the thing from getting mad at me, but it was a serious war of attrition. It was the worst. Fritter liked me fine when I first brought him home...

[ he sighs. He's gonna put the flowers down on the table to grab some umbrellas, so he and kni can go visit Libra out in the garden. ]

I assume Squeaker is out in the bunny house, with the bunnies and Rabbit, too.
The rain has gotten seriously annoying these last two days, I hope it lets up soon. [ it won't. ]

--Squeaker is Libra's pet. He's like a little dog. ...Fox? Cat?

I'm not actually sure. What do you think, Libby?

Probably. He tends to hide there, and he wasn't such a fan of finding me as a dragon this morning. Probably less than I was. [Let's be real, Libra wasn't that bothered by it. He's really not phased by much.]

He's a creature called a Pokemon, from what I understand. He looks like a combination of all of those creatures.

When he shows up again, I'll make sure to bring up to you Kni, so you can meet him.

[pokemon, another wholly unfamiliar term to him. it would seem those were wracking up here. he'd need to start writing things down.

kni trails after vash, a loyal shadow, to the outside. there he can finally see libra in his full form, more than just a snout poking through the window.]

Oh.

[the pictures he remembers certainly don't do him justice. striking, beautiful, how his scales glinted with splattered rain and the light that spilled out from inside the cottage. kni wondered what they'd feel like under his touch, if they felt as serpentine as they looked or if it would be an entirely new texture. well, most things were new textures to kni.]

Have you ever eaten someone?

[the most important question.]

Heheh. I'm sure once the rain lets up a little, and they get hungry, both Rabbit and Squeaker will be out and about and calling out for dinner.
They know better than to dig up vegetables in the garden on their own, after all...

[ fritter's probably out in the trees somewhere, munching happily on his newest apple shell...

Vash stops dead and turns his head towards kni when he asks Libra THAT question. A hand coming up, flapping. ]

C, come on now! We shouldn't ask those sort of questions!

[He makes a huff noise.]

No, I didn't eat anyone. [He pauses for a moment though before leaning over a bit closer to Kni. And lowers his voice.] But I have killed a few. Don't tell Vash.

Heh.

[it was one thing they had in common, but kni knows better than to ever say that out loud. he was more than happy to keep his deeds to himself, even among those non-human.

he promises with a wry half-smile. maybe vash's taste in friends wasn't so bad.]

Don't worry. I think hearing that might send him into shock. He's pretty sensitive, you know.

[vash is right there, ya'll.]

I'm not SENSITIVE! [ he protests, with a clear UGH in his voice as Libra and Kni start whispering where he can HEAR THEM PERFECTLY. He's gonna come over and tug on one of the leafy hornlike tendrils on libra's dragon head. ]

I can still hear both of you, you know!!!

Oh, let go!

[Although he doesn't fight the tug, because he knows better with Vash's strength. Even with a playful tug like that.]

I was part of an army, Vash. You can't act like I'm pristine.

I knoooow, but there's no War here, so...

...at least, for the most part. Trouble a'plenty sometimes, but...

Anyway.

I'm not sensitive, I'm an ace gunman, remember.

A what?

[he'd been watching them bicker, pleased that vash had moved from tugging at his ear and opting for the dragon - libra's horn, instead. until he hears that.

a hundred and fifty years...]

I thought you hated westerns.

[ listen he adores his Librafriend despite him being a sassy little shit sometimes, but...
after being called out like that he's gonna wiggle and try to hide behind Libra. ]

Oh, well, you know, just... something I had to pick up on ...

...

It's really hard to live on Noman's Land without at least knowing how to shoot a gun. ...I just happened to have an extra long time to get good at it...

[Congratulations, you have now heard a dragon snort. And Vash? Stop using him as a shield, you dork.]

Westerns.... Those are the shows with the strange hats and guns, right? They're an interesting thing to watch...
