[retellers]

[ same routine... which is to say that nothing happens when kano makes his wish, so hopefully he steps outside--where goat will suddenly appear, just like last time. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano hangs around for a while until he leaves, and immediately gets startled by Goat just suddenly appearing, yeesh. ]

...Hi to you too! Do you not like being inside, or what?

[retellers]

... I haven't thought about it, but I suppose I prefer the outside?

[suddenlybees]

Just a feeling? Not, like, a memory or anything like that?

[retellers]

I still have no recollection of my life before the Realm.

[suddenlybees]

But you got preferences, right? So that's gotta mean something! Here, hold out your hands, lemme see your hands~

[retellers]

[ ???

they hold out their hands. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano holds Goat's hands. Give me hand lore. Are their fingers long or stubby? Warm and soft or cold and dry? How neat do they keep their nails? ]

[retellers]

[ i have not thought that hard about goat's hands, i'm crying. but their fingers are slender? they're kind of girly-looking hands, maybe. but they probably have not bothered with nail maintenance. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ What's under those nails... dirt? blood? when is the last time Goat showered, nail maintenance is important. ]

[retellers]

[ they're not no-hygiene-ever dirty, at least. so goat probably showers. but it doesn't seem like they go out of their way to pick the dirt out of their nails over the course of the day. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ probably ]

I see, okay.

[ He lets go of Goat's hands. ]

You were a city kid.

[retellers]

I don't know what that means.

[suddenlybees]

You know what babies are, right? Kid is like, halfway between that and you.

[ ... ]

Kids are little goats.

[ Oh fuck no, he wants to make it very clear that was not supposed to be a pun. ]

[retellers]

I know what babies and kids are, yes.

[suddenlybees]

So... no city, huh? Like Clementine.

[ He looks down at Goat's hands again. Ten fingers total? ]

[retellers]

I am aware of what a city is as well.

[ ten fingers, yes. ]

[suddenlybees]

So... city kid... kid living in the city...?

[ where are the dots not connecting ]

[retellers]

But I'm not living in a city.

[suddenlybees]

Not right now, but before! You gotta have come from somewhere, even if you don't remember, right?

[retellers]

So you think I came from a city...?

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano shrugs ]

What do you think?

[retellers]

[ they think. ]

I don't know.

[suddenlybees]

[ They didn't think very hard. ]

You said you like being outside, right? What do you feel when you're outside?

[retellers]

I'm not sure.

[ can kano detect a pattern ]
