Hey, hey. I know.
[ this time he reaches with his free hand to touch koby's cheek, thumbing at his cheek bone and making him keep his gaze. he shouldn't have mentioned the woman that haunts koby's mind, but it's true. monsters are family to someone, whether they like to admit it or not.
but he sighs a little, ruffling his hair gently even when he doesn't feel the same kind of liveliness. ] Nah, it's a thing from my world. You make a promise and you pinky swear on it. Means it's unbreakable, you're gonna uphold it. So? You trust me?
[ he nudges his hand further, pinky extended. ] We link pinkies and that's that. I'm not going anywhere, you got it? Gotta stick around and look after you before you get yourself in any trouble.

I think so. Maybe because it's pink.
I got here on June 12th, just missed it. And yeah, I did.
Just because he's tall doesn't mean I'd be interested. Did you ever find out what he knew about that groundskeeper?

Sounds complicated and a matter for other people.
I see, so a trick from the library then. The dragon is red, so it is that of Rhaenyra. Had it been gold it would have been mine.

And blue! And sometimes purple or yellow or red. There were a lot of flowers on the islands. Not so many here.
I see. We're only a few weeks apart, then. I mean, birthdays, not years.
I recognized your handwriting.
Ah. No. We weren't really talking, the week I was with him.

[Well, it's not outright hatred or spite, Koby can work with that.]
It's the same symbol? The Targaryen sigil, I suppose. That seems
Confusing.
Why is yours gold? Aren't you the Greens and the Blacks?
But yes, it's implying that Rhaenyra prefers the company of other women.

Yes we are the Greens and Blacks, in a manner of speaking.
Our banner is a golden dragon on a green background. Those of Rhaenyra have a red dragon on a black background.
My dragon, Sunfyre, is gold.
And if that is the case then I am certain her husband ought to know.

Yeah, I know. But it's like Easter flowers.
He was never gonna write them himself. It's low pressure, okay? Bringing something to burn matters more than gifts.
Do you want to know?

oh. hi.
[He's really only passingly familiar with Koby from some of his past network posts, but this is fine.]
yeah, they're bigger. and noisier, too, in some cases.
[It's easier to control the volume on a console attached to a TV than it is the volume of something like a pinball machine.]
do new rooms appear a lot?

[Koby's significantly nosier, and despite the fraught intensity of the previous month, he'd paid attention. To everything.]
Noisier? That sound like a nightmare. No offense, if you're a fan of them. My favorite pastime is fishing, which is very quiet.
All the time, yeah. I've been here since June and the house seems completely different now.

The spring one. The resurrection.
No, their parties are usually grand royal affairs, but I'm doing what I can on short notice. He likes burning stuff. Bonfire celebrations are pretty common in America, though.
I wanted to know, when it was Hawk, even though it was horrible.

Right. Three days and rebirth and symbolic death as atonement and all that. [Koby almost asks if that had been what kept Tim going while Hawk was gone, faith in a resurrection, but -- well. Hawk's hardly a messiah.]
Fireworks too. Americans and pirates have that in common. Still, it's nice of you to do something for him. He doesn't seem used to being thought about.
It's different. I'm used to there being things I'll never know about Shanks. That's not
We aren't like that. We're something [delusional, dangerous, doomed] different.

[Monster apocolypses really go a long way in desensitizating a person to weird shit.
But he is kind of. Bemused. By that last statement.]
i attacked someone for asking me a question.
[the person was Hao and the question was annoying, but still. He wouldn't call that remaining calm.]

[Well, Koby's used to a very...effusive way of attacking people.]
People tend to do a lot more yelling and insulting when they attack, where I'm from. You were just sort of
Silent and deadly? Maybe?
You didn't even call out your moves.
Also I told him to knock it off, but I'm sorry if he didn't.

No, he's not, and nobody's ever done anything about it.
I don't get it. You're okay with that, not being able to really know him?
