Nabe was watching him closely, head tilted. She had Thoughts™ about him, but was trying to figure out a way to say things politely.

Her mom taught her that it was rude to be rude, after all.

But there came a point where she had to say something, it was simply bothering her too much.

"So. Nabe's got a question. Uh, promise not to be mad?"

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"It's got tuna, and mayonnaise, and celery, and olives, and pickle relish." Nabe eagerly pointed at each ingredient. Which, admittedly, some of them didn't look much like their earth-equivalents. At least it'd taste the same, right?

"There are a lot of different recipes you could use, but tuna and mayonnaise are the base ingredients you need to have for it to count as tuna salad." Elise chimed in.

"We're gonna put it on sandwiches! Nabe likes it best that way!"

His ears perked up. He liked Tuna. He just didn't know what a tuna salad was. "What's a tuna salad?"

Asking that was better than thinking about the past.

"Nabe wouldn't mind spending time with friends!!"

"Hey! What did Nabe say about fighting dragons?"

She comes running at them with the wrapping paper tube yet again.

"Don't! Hurt! Friends!"

Putting an obvious target in front of a trained sniper is one thing.

Putting an obvious target in front of a trained sniper with orders to kill is another.

Nabe thinks for a moment, then ejects the chamber, swapping out the current magazine in her Hecate II for a different one.

Eject the first round (she always keeps a blank in them, after all), then carefully line up the shot from her hiding place.

Surely, the detonation from a single explosive round hitting its target won't cause any structural damage.

Nabe hummed. "Uh. She thinks the mothman said if you're thinking about a place when you open the door it tries to go to that place? Otherwise it sends you home?" She was fairly certain that's what you were supposed to do.

Again, this was just as much her first time here as it was Malik's.

"Maybe we can ask before we leave?"

Malik gave him a cheeky grin before going to join Nabe near her spot. He wasn't intending to finish his drink, as his curiosity grew more and more about the mechanisms of the door and its enigmas.

"Run it by me again. Once we go through that door again... we'd be in a completely new world? Is that how it works?"

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"Nooooo! Bad!"

Oh no, she's got the wrapping paper tube again. Run, Xiaolong.

"Dragons! Are! Friends! Don't! Hurt! Them!"

"Nabe was told that nobody was supposed to be here without an invitation!" she pouts, putting her hands on her hips.

"So Nabe suggests you leave her friend Malik alone! It's his birthday he's allowed to want to relax!"

[nabeandfriends-archive]

Trade offer!

Nabe presents: Pebble. It's smooth and round and very nice.

The crow tilts her head, waiting to see if her gift is accepted.

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"Just because you were a person in the past doesn't mean that you can't be a dragon now. And even if you were mean and evil in the past doesn't mean you have to be now! Personally, Nabe thinks you're doing pretty good."

She put her hands behind her back, rocking on her heels.

"So you can be a real good friendly dragon if you want! Nabe believes in you."

"Herrnnng."

Alexander rumbles some sort of disgruntled deep reptilian sound in his throat, reluctant. He does try sometimes, people are just naturally caution and even scared of him. He wasn’t going to go out of his way to seek the boy out, if Xiaolong came to him, then that would be another story.

He watches Nabe change into a more human like appearance with mild curiosity before looking stoic again. The draconain was grateful for the manners at least.

“Lord Alexander, a pleasure.” He leans forward offering his talon for her to grab and shake. He had been called many names so the title ‘Big purple’ was not minded.

“I’m not a very good dragon, I’m not a real dragon. I was not born asone as I used to be human. And humans have evilness and hatred in their hearts, so perhaps there are evil dragons, they are just made.” He countered.

"Wait! If it's so cold that the sky falls down, then... Beepmas is coming! Nabe's not prepared!"

@dragonskxn replied to this post:

Offers a nice basket of berries and nuts for Nabe!

!!! "Treats!" She opens her beak wide in hopes Annalise will get the hint and give her one now.

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"Nabe knows there's lots of different worlds out there, right? And like. Nabe has also been to a world and then been to a different world and found out the first place is also a video game."

"So... Nabe's just got to wonder if maybe there's a place out there where Nabe isn't real???"

Please hold, currently processing existential crisis.

...

Oh no. Panic registers in her eyes as a thought more frightening than anything in the world hits Nabe:

"Is Nabe an isekai protagonist????"

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"How did you know Nabe's name?" she demanded, doubling down at pointing her gun at him before she realized. "... Oh right. She's said it a lot already..."

It's amazing how often she forgets she does that.

She doesn't lower her weapon just yet, but her finger does move away from the trigger. "... Is it dangerous? What if it bites you?"

"What is Nabe thinking!" she said aloud. "Of course it's dangerous! People don't call not-dangerous things beasts!"

The fae's reaction to his offhand comment was abruptly cut short. The next thing he knew; There was a gun pointed in his direction, again.

"Fehn! Nabe!" The gunmage yelled, startled, his native language taking the front seat in the confusion. "Watch that rifle." He growled, not too keen on the idea of having a hole through the breadbug AND his chest. They did line up quite well, after all.

Somehow, he did not seem nearly as spooked when there were no breadbugs involved.

"That's a Wonderlandian beast." The Black Wind explained, his stoic mask secure back in its place. "Don't."

Was there a reason why the Unlimited of Darkness was suddenly so concerned with the wellbeing of some creature from Chaos' patchwork kingdom? Could it be, could it possibly be - that he found it... cute?

Nonsense.

Nabe is currently wrapped in a towel, sitting in a basket on the counter in the clinic's waiting room.

She took a bird bath and got all wet, now she's too cold to work.

[nabeandfriends-archive]

... Nabe knows she's not supposed to.

But she really wants to shoot him.
