funny. when this holiday first bloomed he was excited for it; ready to partake and enjoy it for what he believed it to be. a more heart-warming situation to be celebrated with the masses, but that all seemed to sink away. he had purchased goods from stalls, forced himself to try chocolates and drinks to find some sort of spark in all of it.

he found himself in the middle of still trying, a candy held between his fingers, suspended halfway between the box it once lay in and a mouth questioning its consumption. with a sigh, he let it drop back into place in the box. retrieving the cover he closed it back up.

"here," he eventually murmured, eyes picking out a familiar face. extending an arm he offered the box of sweets he no longer cared to try, "don't really feel like lettin' the dust go to waste." // @virusbuster

stare remains blank, flicking from goyou's face to the chocolates he still, unfortunately, held. they had done nothing wrong, not before and not now, so why was this introduction plucking at his nerves? with a long inhale dar let his eyes fall shut, expelling the air through his nose as he retracted the box momentarily.

"right, the coat," he reminded himself, a few annoyed sways possessing his tail at the memory. it wasn't an issue then.

"if ya think about it, i am sharin'. i had my fill and don't want 'em anymore." again, he raised out the box of sweets, perhaps a tad impatiently. "they'll find themselves in a bin if ya don't want 'em, either."

....'friends', huh? while he's got the biggest pole up his arse right now. fantastic.

"dar'khol," he finally adds, fighting with himself to respond properly.

The cat man who had given them his coat. They were wearing the coat now, and now the man was giving him chocolate. They look at the box of sweets, and then back up at the man.

They wondered if he remembered them. He must, if he was giving them a gift. Right?

But...

Had they introduced themselves. "I'm Goyou." They said as a greeting, hoping to get a name of the person who had made sure they were warm.

"You have...Already given me quite a few things. So I think we should share." They point at the box, and then at the man. "I believe that would mean we are 'friends'."
