She's on the trail of a lizard. And just when she thinks she's about to get it, she pounces! But not onto the lizard- onto a person. "Um-! Sorry- I gotta- get that!"

[solarisligatus]

"I'm all for a good laugh, we're in the same boat there, after all. Buuuut it's polite to not leave a gentleman waiting for your answer~!"

"Ooh, wonderful~. I'll get food next time then, how about that. Fair~? i think it's pretty fair." @praeteritus-memories || c.

     Suppose when he'd started at Belobog Industries, he hadn't really known all the ins and outs either, but it didn't stop him from feeling a bit sheepish about it. And now he was their dedicated medical expert, so it had all come to work out! Still, given that they worked with machines day after day, he felt like he should've known at least a bit more of this.

     Though, even from behind his hands, he peeked through his fingers to watch the other. Amethyst eyes quietly running over the other's figure before he knelt down by the toolbox. Settling on one feature in particular as his tail started to wag.

     “ Right, better t' have and not need it… ” he repeated, not quite paying full attention. And then how immediately he straightened as the other mentioned being hot.       Straightening his posture and averting his gaze as he tried to clear his throat. Oh, he was no better than the men at the bar!       “ I might jus' do that –! Um, did ya want anythin' while ‘m headin’ in there? ”

     He really just hoped he hadn't noticed where the Draconid had been staring…

Pompey shrugged at the mention of him 'doing most of the work'. Might be strictly true, sure, but there was the old adage of learning to walk before you run. It wasn't like he could do engine maintenance day one, either; might've started learning earlier than Shoi-Ming, but he'd started simple too with checking oil levels and tire pressure.

Seemed like the other's thoughts had wandered in a different direction, though. Something worth covering most of one's face about. Pompey couldn't puzzle out the reason - so for now, he didn't try. Still work to be done.

"When you described the problem, I figured this would be one o' the most likely causes. Besides, better to have it and not need it, if possible." Returning to his toolbox and settling onto one knee, Pompey pulled the new wire set to the top, but first started carefully removing the old ones. "If you're feelin' too hot, you can get a drink yourself while you wait. This'll take a little bit."

He didn't really think it was that warm a day outside, but Shoi-Ming did have more layers on than him.

"Would ya still love me if I was a worm?"

[solarisligatus]

@dupliciti : "If that's what you're into. I'm not going to judge or stop you... But I don't want to be involved in your business!"

"You're the ones that brought it up don't come over here yelling at me about it."

"Wouldn't that be the ultimate joy though..? A passionate love affair with Aha~?"

[draconicfool]

"Your daughter-?" So little Clara had a dad-. Well, other than Svarog if one called him that. But this brought another question to mind, the vidyadhara tilting his head slightly. But perhaps that isn't his place to pry.

Letting out a soft laugh, he brought his hand to his chest. A want to keep her somewhere she called home. That he could relate to. "Well if that ain't just the sweetest~. She's a real cute kid. Smart and headstrong too. S'nice to meet you, darlin'."

Eros loves love. For him the ultimate joy one can feel is intense and soul crushing love. To this end he's extremely flirtatious when one sees beneath the mask of sweet normalcy he wears. This is also why the name he's chosen for this life is Eros, as who would know love better than a god of it?

[draconicfool]

     “ Y'might jus' have t' make me. ”

[solarisligatus]

"Me..? Just Eros, nothing more, nothing less~."

[draconicfool]

"You're kiddin' me right--?" Oh no he certainly wasn't. Not at all. His tail started flicking irritably. Just staring up at the other before he reached up to squish and pull at the other's cheeks.

"Some stupid asshole is th' reason I can't hear y'talk all nice an' sweet in our private time?! I'll kill 'em-! I'll do worse than kill 'em, I'll eat 'em!"

For Eros' part he just found it interesting that there was another Fool here. What his motivations were remained to be seen, but at the very least he could be friendly. Keep an eye on him. He wasn't bad looking either, so 'keeping an eye' was mostly for the doctor's own benefit. If only because he found he quite liked looking at him.

"I think y'er very lucky y'ran int' me first, sugar." He shakes his head as he speaks, adjusting his own portable heater as they made their way forward. "Anyone else might not have listened t' ya so much as trusted ya t' actually be bringin' supplies." Anyone else would've been far more mistrusting. A stranger from the Overworld meant trouble, didn't it? But for Eros this was someone from the Tavern. And that meant that Sampo could be trusted to an extent.

"Ah, y'er gonna be wantin' Wildfire, then. I c'n introduce ya t' a few of 'em. Ya need t' be on y'er best behavior, though." As best of one as a Fool could have.

Sampo already liked it here. The atmosphere, the tension in the air, even the strange looks he's been getting, it was so undeniably amusing. All it takes is a spark, and some patience for some truly entertaining things to go down.

"Eros," he repeats, now turning back around again as he hums, calmly sauntering towards the Furnace Core. "It's a pleasure. I like to think I'm lucky I ran into you first down here." Someone truly accepting and kind, when he's expected to be wholly mistrusted as a stranger coming from the Overworld. A fellow follower of Aha as well, now that's something you don't run into every day.

"Do you know the folks who run things around here? Y'know, up top we have the Silvermane Guards? Know anyone like that down here?"

[solarisligatus]

"If I ask real pretty do you think they'd let me play on the Express for a bit?"

Eros has been added to the muse list

"Now y'er talkin' dirty, sugar." The vidyadhara chuckles, shifting slightly to let his cardigan slip down his shoulders. Tilting his head to the side as if offering himself like a meal.

"Surprise me? S'been awhile since I got t' actually try m'luck on this front." Awhile since he'd actively tried to die, at least. Last time it had been...right, that former Memokeeper. Shame that one hadn't worked.

"...Heh."

"How do you want to be killed, or perhaps We can rip your throat you and bleed you to dry your meat. I am open to options."

"A brave person such as yourself, deserves at least to know the method of how they will die."
