[ i'm sorry i died in the middle of that last conversation but also i am laughing so much at the hindenburg thing in retrospect
anyway, we're out here in the park with the giant squirrels somewhere i guess and as soon as he sees rang simon is just abruptly turning and going the other way ]
[looks at your unanswered starter in grief IM SORRY ERIC HELP ME!!! rang is at ikea, eating frozen yogurt, and looking significantly less bloody than usual.
maybe they do a kdrama meet bump while trying to get seconds. rang sways a little, and watches as his spoon falls to the ground.
rang looks at simon and decides to be the nicest version of himself for this interaction only, no -- his brow wrinkles, but he just. takes the spoon back.]
I guess we have bigger things to worry about than germs.
[like... being ERASED.... or vore of the lion kind,]
hilariously rang is like standing far away from the closest group of puppies, like he's not sure why he's here in the first place? the vibe here is curious, like he's here solely to explore and not affected at all by these puppies.
ignore the blip of discomfort he emanates when one of them comes too close to his shoes, which makes him move away and luckily(?) closer to simon!!!]
Shouldn't they have more space?
[this shop feels kind of SMALL (it might be big rang is just prejudiced against shops)]
[ great!! he tenses up when rang gets closer and there's an obvious anxiety spike. BUT there's also, like, some Interest there at the same time, like maybe he doesn't actually completely hate it? also a little less fear than what might have been expected based on their previous interactions. hm. ]
Uh... ideally, yeah. Hopefully they at least take them out for walks...?
[ notably, these puppies are not bringing him any joy either, even though he'll smile and crouch down to scratch one behind the ears when it wanders over to him. ]
[SIMON PLEASE, luckily rang is distracted with avoiding puppies to realize that simon is no longer afraid of this possible murderer hanging around his space,]
They should just let them go so that they live on their own.
[okay rang...... though the vibe here is less indignant animal rights activist and more.... let them be whatever they want to be in this cold hard earth,
he watches simon pet a puppy and take no joy from it,]
Mm, tigers, maybe? The one we have has been in the circus for most of his life, so he's pretty predictable, but he can still be stubborn sometimes. And it's easy for things to go wrong in really big ways with strong animals like that, even by accident.
[when rang sees simon he'll just immediately approach him! the vibes here are a tense hum of someone putting extreme effort into repressing all emotion, will it continue.... who knows...]
[ he looks at him with his remaining eye for a moment. there's definitely plenty of repression on this end as well... though for that reason, there's really no telling exactly how those emotions might normally have manifested. ]
Yeah. Some kind of fight in the diner, it looked like.
[ meanwhile the vibes here are... eh. there's anger, but it's quiet and subtle, and his usual anxiety seems to have tapered off enough for the moment that he's coming off as much more mellow than normal despite everything that just happened. ]
Well, I don't think anyone's gonna try to take you out before Thursday night, at the very least. No points in it that way.
[ a slight head tilt like, well, hopefully that reason isn't yet another curse ]
You said before that your reason for wanting to get back was revenge, right? I wouldn't think you'd want to let things end here while that was still waiting for you.

Wasn't there a famous airship or something that blew up and killed a hundred people? It had some foreign name.
[all western names sound the same to him]

You should be careful. If people keep practicing their powers out in the open, then something worse than that could really happen.
no subject
Wh... uh... I-I'm pretty sure they fill those with less flammable stuff now?
no subject
Really? That's good then.
[he's just been smiling this entire time, like a weirdo.]

Not a dog person?
no subject
[ there's a flash of annoyance that quickly gets tamped down by what might seem like a forced calm. ]
No, I like them. They're like, super easy to train compared to most other animals, so they're always pretty nice to work with.
no subject
Right, you're an animal tamer. [he watches simon for a moment, then] Which animals are the hardest to work with?
no subject
