[11:05 AM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
Zerada had really wanted to ease her way onto the boat. It felt like whiplash being from one spot to the other. She couldn't help but feel her heart pound as she was practically carried onto the boat by Su-Ji. Christ, this was going to be an eventful time..
"Nice boat.." Zerada cleared her throat. "Real nice, isn't it?" @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[11:15 AM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"Yeah!! Pretty sweet." Su-Ji grinned. "Sorry for yanking you along like that.. was worried that cult girl was gonna get annoyed at us.. she looked kinda mean." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[11:18 AM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"Nah, it's- It's fine," Zerada glanced around. "Probably for the best, it probably would've taken me a while to actually make the effort to get on the boat."
She frowned. "If that cultist has shit to say to you or gets annoyed with you, she'll have to deal with me. I can be mean back." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[11:20 AM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji chuckled, "but hey- you got on! So brave of you." He pat her back after setting her down.
"You wanna grab some grub- get out of the view of the ocean?" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[11:31 AM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
She only had gotten on with help from Su-Ji, but Zerada was willing to take praise where she could. She offered him a small smile.
"Thanks, gato," Zerada hummed. At the mention of getting away from the sight of the water, she eagerly nodded her head. "Yeah, I'd- Like that a lot, actually." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[11:33 AM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji nodded before walking down the steps. "They mentioned coats. Should we grab any?" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[11:51 AM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
Zerada followed after him. "Eh, I wouldn't mind a cloak, just so we can stay warm enough. I'm sure it'll be warmer once we're in the dining hall, so I think we're good for now." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[1:00 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"I think I'm fine. I have a fur coat." He grinned. @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[1:32 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
Zerada let out a quiet huff. “You are a fur coat.. I guess I should go grab one, then.” @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[1:35 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"I could hug you and act like a coat!" Su-Ji laughed. "You wouldn't dare take me for just my beautiful pelt. Then you'd miss out of all this" he gestured to himself. @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[2:14 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
“I’d be missing out on so much, you’re right,” Zerada rolled her eyes, barely keeping back a huffed chuckle. “This is why you’re so much better than any old crow.” @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[2:43 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"Yeah!! I AM better." Su-Ji grinned.
"...Can we get food now? Su-Ji hungy..." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[2:50 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
“Alright, alright,” Zerada gave Su-Ji’s back another pat. “Let’s go get you some food. It’s a buffet, you can eat all that you want.” @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[2:53 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji grinned as he made his way toward the buffet. "I could eat the whole thing!!" He cheered as he approached it. "Mmmm look at it all..." He was already practically drooling. @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[3:30 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"It all does look pretty good," Normally, Zerada's first thought would've been, 'Better not eat until I can make sure it isn't poisoned,' but she truly had grown more lax when it came to certain things about the world. For right now, the thing she was mostly focused on was the fact that the food looked nicely seasoned. Very, very good.
"I almost don't know where to start." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[3:31 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji was halfway through piling the sausages and other various meats specifically onto his plate. He paused halfway to glance to Zerada..
Before continuing.
He definitely knew where to start @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[3:37 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
Zerada grabbed herself a few things, nowhere near as much as Su-Ji did, though. She grabbed a simple serving of pancakes, fruits, bacon, and a few breakfast biscuits. Some orange juice really hit the spot.
By the time she had taken a seat, she was sure that Su-Ji was on one of many, many servings. @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[3:42 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
He, in fact, was. He was halfway through his "plate" of food- if you could even call it that. It seemed easier to eat while he was in this form.
"Itsh sho good-" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[4:48 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"It is," Zerada chuckled. "I'm surprised you can even taste the food with how quickly you're eating it." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[4:52 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"Coursh I can-" He swallowed. "Even more with the whole-" he gestured to himself- "cat thing." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[5:00 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"Right, that makes sense," Zerada chuckled and shook her head. She took a forkful of her pancakes and ate it. Very nice, very delicious. About a 7/10 pancake. @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[5:21 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji finished wolfing down his food, leaning back in his chair as thoigh satisfied. "Mmmm that was good... really hit the spot... definitely beats dumpster pancakes." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[5:51 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"I feel like most things taste better than that. This really hit- The bacon's perfect, too. Haven't had that in a while, same with the sausages." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[5:52 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"Mmm... I kinda wanna get more..." He mumbled, grinning. "Tasty... Can't remember the last time I ate like that..." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[5:53 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
".. We can pack some up and I can put it into my backpack?" Zerada offered. "Then you can have some later." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[5:54 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji gasped, perking up a little. His tail wagged behind him, "really?" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[6:16 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"Really," Zerada nodded with a grin. "I have space for it, and I do have a little ice pack in there with some food already, I'll just add it to the bag." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[6:28 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji looked excited at the idea. "Thank you Amiga! You got my back again!" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[6:39 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"Anytime, gato," Zerada chuckled. She took off her backpack and unzipped it, rummaging around through a few things before she took out a bento box. She opened it up and handed it to Su-Ji. "Load it on up." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[6:52 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji excitedly grabbed the box and ran to the buffet. He scooped up various food items (mostly meat, once more) and rushed back to Zerada. "Got it!!" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[7:05 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"Good," Zerada took it from him and closed it up. She slipped it back into her backpack, putting it into a small insulated lunch bag. "Whenever you want more, just let me know and I'll give it to you." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[7:07 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji purred loudly, smiling happily. "Appreciate you, Amiga." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[7:10 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"Appreciate you," She chuckled. She zipped her backpack up and slipped it back onto her shoulders.
[7:10 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
@Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[7:12 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"So. We've gotten coats. We've eaten. What shall we do next, Zer?" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[7:15 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"Well.. I'm not too sure. We could walk around, see who else we meet, or just-.. I dunno, find a place to relax at?" Zerada shrugged slightly. @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[7:16 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"Hmm. I don't mind finding someone else to chat with if you don't. If you want to go chill that's fine." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[7:18 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"I.. Wouldn't mind chilling for a bit, if I'm honest. I feel like I have to- I don't know, steel my nerves a bit for this ride. You don't have to stick around me though, if you want, you can go and make some buddies." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[8:16 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"You sure, Amiga? I feel kinda bad leaving you so suddenly..." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[8:20 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"Don't worry about it," Zerada waved her hand. "It's fineeeeee." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[8:27 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji made a face. "...You're gonna just sit here...?" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[8:29 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
".. No.." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[8:32 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"...What're you.. gonna do?" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[8:32 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
".. Find.. Somewhere else to sit, maybe.." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[8:34 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"...And brooooooood?" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[8:35 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
When Zerada felt the boat jerk from the dock, she found herself gripping onto the edge of the table tightly. Great, now they were moving. Great. Great.
".. N-no.." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[9:57 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"...Amiga, if you're upset with the boat thing I don't want to leave you alone..." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[10:04 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
Zerada took in a deep breath in an effort to steady herself. She went to try and usher Su-Ji away with her words before her shoulders slumped.
".. I-I'd-.. Appreciate the company.." Zerada admitted quietly.
[10:04 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
@Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[10:10 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"Well, the company is here." He grinned. "Don't worry, Amiga. I'm sure there's something we can chat about... I found a lot of forests to bound in while we were separated." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[6:28 AM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
“Forests, huh?” Zerada managed a smile. She definitely was appreciative of Su-Ji’s presence. “Catch anything interesting there?” @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[7:18 AM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"I caught a bear!" Su-Ji hopped up, putting his hands (paws?) On the table, excited. @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[8:44 AM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
“That so?” Zerada asked with an amused raise of her eyebrow. She didn’t doubt her boy for a second. “How’d you do that?” @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[9:58 AM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"Rope!!" He smiled. "Made a snare- used myself as bait. It fell right into my trap." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[10:25 AM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
“That’s so smart of you, gato,” Zerada praised. “Look at you- I’m proud of you. That’s a good plan.” @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[10:26 AM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji purred. "It kept me good and fed for a while!" His tail wagged. "Did you get anything or do anything interesting?" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[12:52 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
“That’s good, I’m glad that you got to enjoy a whole bear. I’ve never had it before- Is that something you’d recommend?”
Zerada hummed as she thought to herself. “I can’t really- Remember much, nothing too interesting. Like I said, I went to a farmer’s market the other day. I bought some radishes. Don’t even like radishes, but the lady was so nice, I just had to buy them.” @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[3:15 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"I sure do! It's... hm. It sort of tastes like beef but sweeter, and gamey. It's kinda like.. pork."
He tilted his head. "You don't... remember...?" @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[9:02 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"Kind of like pork, huh? That's interesting, I didn't expect that." Zerada hummed.
"Not in a- Concerning way, it's just that when you do nothing for days on end, and your days just seem similar in every way, they kinda all blend together." Zerada shrugged. "It's fine." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[5:11 AM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji seemed to relax slightly, "oh- okay." His tail flicked. "...A lot of my days were spent doing the same thing too. Hunting and wandering the countryside... was quite boring without someone to keep company." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[12:36 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
“Yeah, don’t worry, it’s nothing- Crazy, or anything,” Zerada frowned. At least, she was pretty sure it wasn’t anything crazy. Just.. Nothing eventful. Right. Things were fine.
“It was-.. Pretty boring without anyone there.”
’I wish we didn’t part ways when we did.’ Zerada took a sip of her orange juice. @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[3:26 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"Neither do I... but we're both here now!" He grinned. @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[4:08 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"We are both here now,"* Zerada chuckled. "I'm glad to have another familiar face here. Though, however this tournament goes, I hope that we don't have to face one another. Maybe there's a tag-team match we can participate in." @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[4:35 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
Su-Ji purred, "maybe! That'd br cool! We should totally be teammates! Nothing would stop us!" @
[4:35 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
@🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[5:39 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"I'm sure that with our strengths and our specialities, they don't stand a chance," Zerada smiled. @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[6:21 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"Hell yeah!" He slammed his hand on the table in excitement. @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[7:58 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
Zerada smiled. She definitely was already feeling better. It had even been easy to forget that the boat was moving.
".. Thanks, gato," Zerada spoke softly. "I really needed- This, you know..?" @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
[8:59 PM]Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺:
"No thanks needed, Amiga." He grinned, leaning back in his chair. "I needed this too, I think." @🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐
[9:05 PM]🌙Vanessa🌙 | Zerada⚡+ Kal⭐:
"I'm glad that we could help each other out, then," Zerada chuckled. @Sam | Su-Ji 🐯+ Wolf 🐺
