#rafal throwing the mental potshots at team rat and team sheep don't worry about it

[rafent]

cheery eyes belie a man who is much too nosy to help himself. from behind the door fogado slips, barely making more than an effort grunt as he traipses into the room that he Definitely Wasn't Assigned To.

" what the what? rafal, you're a weasel too? " his tone is wary but open; despite the past, he's open to attempts at a nicer future. " man, it's like, where one goes, the other follows, yanno? "

"That it seems. I see that you have been placed here as well, Fogado."

The tromping of carefree steps claimed ownership over the space, as if its owner belonged acutely to the same four-man dormitory designated as Rafal's. He didn't. The Fell Dragon regarded Fogado with tepid greeting regardless, brushing up against a feeling not perfectly akin to relief by his own stubborn understanding, but something within view of it. Without Nel, without Griss or Alfred, and otherwise denied the company of faces owed to greater familiarity, it had seemed for the moment that Rafal stood alone on a desolate isle of experience. Not anymore.

He set his luggage down with a heavy thunk! Packed floor to ceiling with his choicest confections, no doubt. Many of which would serve as important sustenance; an equal amount to be surreptitiously indulged across the late midnights of coming days. "The correct turn of phrase would be that I am a dragon. But yes, so far as teams go, I have been informed that I am—" Expression scrunched with vague yet uncontrollable affront. ". . .a Weasel."

Was it to his imagination, or did the term feel. . .degrading? None too flattering in any case. At least others were worse off with their compulsory associations. What violence Rafal would feel if anyone should call him a rat or a sheep. No dignity to those names at all! That circumstance aside, an eye centered on the remainder of silver linings: "That we are presumably allies is a blessing. For you. Whatever hardships should face us here, my power will more than suffice to meet them. You may count on that."
