Continued From: roy eben inu roque
Inu wandered into the dining hall, letting out a small yawn as he rubbed his eyes once more. He was still a bit sleepy but hey, some breakfast can help that, can't it? Inu stretched out as he waited for Roy, letting out a small hum.
"...I've mmm..never seen so much food...it's a lot.." He said softly.
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
Roy quickly shut the door behind them, the lack of sun sure made it colder than hell. He caught up with Inu, taking in the smells. “Phew, smells good! Maybe this time I’ll get to eat without bein’ interrupted….” That breakfast on the boat was nice, for the few moments he got to enjoy it.
“You lookin’ at anything in particular? Those strawberries smell nice.”
Inu nodded along and gave a small shrug. "I like strawberries.." He hummed softly. "I think it would be nice to get some.." He headed over to the table grabbing a plate before handing one to Roy.
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
“Thanks.” He took the plate and looked at the spread. He was starving but didn’t want to seem impolite, so he took what he hoped was a normal serving and waited for Inu to finish choosing. He looked out into the hall and saw Isi! But she was sitting with a… dog? Person? And it would be rude to intrude on their conversation.
Once Inu was ready he headed over to table near to Isi, maybe he could talk to them later.
The sound of a struggle from the kitchen stopped Roy from whatever he was going to say. “What the hell..?”
Inu put some food onto his plate before he headed off and went to one of the tables sitting down. He glanced towards the kitchen before back at the table. He..he didn't wanna get involved. He already felt pretty uncomfortable on this island with the whole ""I'm always watching""...he'd rather stay away from any problems...
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
“Hmm.. not gonna bother with that…” He relaxed, shuffling a bit before looking back to Inu. “Ha, so, how’d ya sleep?” He bit into one of his strawberries.
"Pretty well, all things considered...' Inu smiled a bit. "Uhm. Waking up was..freaky but...you know..." He sighed before he looked over at Roy. "What about you..? I liked our..uhm. Little pillow fort...it was nice.."
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
“I slept pretty well, actually! Usually I wake up a lot, ha… That pillow fort was fun.” He smiled back and picked up another strawberry. “Ha, maybe we can keep doin’ that.” He doubted Roque would care if Eben was there or not. On the other hand, once they talk to the church people maybe they’ll make her move somewhere else and Eben would be safe to sleep in his own room.
…a part of him didn’t want that. He chewed on his strawberry, becoming lost in thought.
Inu nodded along. "I get that.." He laughed a tiny bit. "I uhm. Struggle to sleep often and stuff..sometimes staying asleep for long periods is just..mmm." He waved his hand around. "Maybe Eben can just stay with us on our side...I don't think they'd care too much...the staff and stuff..."
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
“Yeah, we’d probably have to remake it, with the blood and all…” Would he want to stay?
There was no real use worrying about it. He decided to change the topic. “So, what were you doing before this tournament business?”
Inu pondered for a few moments before he shrugged. "..I uhm. I wandered really." He admitted softly. "I..came here for shelter and food...to be honest. And money doesn't hurt.."
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
“Oh.. that must be hard. My situation isn’t great, ha, I have to skip meals pretty often. But, that’s gotta be rough.” Roy fidgeted with his hair. Maybe that wasn’t the best thing to ask… “I’m glad these people could help you out.” It was strange though, wasn’t it? Plenty of folks out there needed help, so why were only people with powers invited?
Inu frowned at Roy before he nodded along. "....I do that a lot too.." He mumbled. "But..I guess a roof over my head is well...better than the streets or anything...so even if this place is...mmm..weird...its still something.."
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
He frowned a bit. “Yeah… this place is strange. I don’t really trust these people but…” He picked at his food, feeling guilty for bringing up a sore subject. “…sorry.”
Inu blinked before he shook his head. "No..no need to apologize...its uhm. Its something I've been..used too. Living..uhm...alone for awhile." He offered Roy a weak smile. "You're okay.."
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
He had a sad look as Inu admitted to living alone for so long. Mama always said he was a bleeding heart. “Oh.. how long have you been living on your own?” He then realized that was a rather invasive question. “Um, you don’t have to answer that if you don’t wanna…” He pulled at his hair, small pieces were rising with static.
"Uhm..." Inu looked up in thought before he honestly shrugged. "...Since around..eight? Something like that.." He shook his head before he offered Roy a tiny smile. "You meant no harm, Roy. Its okay."
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
If he could physically make this face 
he would. “Since you… oh, that’s just awful. I’m sorry.”
At Inu’s words, the guilt died down a little. He hoped he was being genuine. He was bad at telling when people were honest about these sorts of things.

Inu shrugged his shoulders once more with a shake of his head. "Its..mmm..its okay. I uhm. Complicated." He sighed a bit. "But..you're okay. Uhm." He looked back at his food. "I'm still shocked they...mmmm..could make so much you know.."
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
..the food? Oh! Oh. Shit. He had been talking about that for too long. He shouldn’t have said anything. Shit.
“Ha.. yeah. It’s nice, even though they made a lot.” He had a little bit left of his food, still nervously picking at it. His mind was a complete blank for anything else to talk about. Shit.
Inu let out a tiny small humm before he looked at Roy. Inu hestaitnly reached out and placed his hand on his. "Roy..." Inu frowned. "I'm not mad at you.." He narrowed his eyes a bit, his frown increasing. "Please...please don't think that..okay..? In..In a weird way...I uhm..I find it comforting you can relate...means I am..not alone..you know..?"
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
Roy watched as Inu moved their hand over his, breath hitching. He did his best not to move, flinch, or accidentally electrocute his friend. He listened closely to their words.
“…y-yeah? You’re not..” They’re not upset. He let out a shuddering sigh. He got himself stuck in his own head, Inu wasn’t going to hate him for one bad conversation. It was fine, they’re okay. “We’re… yeah. We’re not alone.” He nodded his head; the contact grounding his racing thoughts.
Inu offered a small smile before he let out a tiny shy laugh. "Eh..." He removed his hand before he placed it on the table. "Yeah...even...uhm...even if its not like...a good thing..its still..you know.."
@Sauce | Roy 🌩
He took a deep breath. They’re alright. “Yeah. I get what you mean.” He offered a small smile. At the loss of contact, he busied his hand by running it through his hair.
“Ha, well, you almost finished? I don’t think I can eat anymore.” He had been sitting too long, he needed to move and get out some energy.
Isi re-entered the dining hall, and after filling their plate with breakfast potatos and fruit, headed over to Roy and Inu. it looked like the two had been having a...moment, so Isi was dubious about whether they'd want her to sit with them but, Roy was nice, right? it couldn't hurt to ask. They approached with their food, and a cup of coffee (it was growing on them since the ship).
"You two mind if I sit with you?" Isi ate fast, but did infact want to sit down while doing so.
@Sauce | Roy 🌩 @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S
Roy jumped a little, caught up in the moment. He relaxed once he realized it was Isi. “Buh? Oh! Mornin’ Isi! Yeah, go ahead, how’ve you been?” He gave her a smile. It was nice to see them.
Isi laughed a little. "Yeah, eventful. I kinda maybe sent one of my roommates to the hospital, actually" they replied, then quickly began eating some fruit on their plate.
"Yeah, the food here is really nice actually, best I've had in a while" they replied to Inu.
@Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @Sauce | Roy 🌩
His eyes went wide with surprise. “What??? What happened??” Isi was such a friendly gal, he almost forgot she was also here to fight. Something big must have happened to send someone to the hospital, though. “Wait- who are you roomin’ with? Is everyone alright?” @capisnotonfire @sketti | Eben 🕶 + Isi 🍁
