[retellers]

The second one, I think.

[recrowns]

[they think.....]

If I end up in trouble, take care of everyone I've promised to look after...

[he's just kidding,]

[retellers]

I-I'm fairly certain!

[ DISTRESSED ]

[recrowns]

[sdflkjdf

there's just a bit of a laugh as he breaks his tease near immediately]

Okay, then I trust you.

[pats goat's hand]

I'm merely playing.

[retellers]

[ oh... they look a tad sulky for a moment because why! are they being teased! bur then. ]

I hope that with all those promises, you have people looking after you as well.

[recrowns]

[the sulkiness just manages to make soo-won smile as he gently leans his shoulder on against goat briefly - gulfan shifts with the weight but he's fine]

Playing is what friends do, but I'll refrain if you don't like it.

[he does err on the side of politeness at the end of the day]

But ah - yes! Hansa offered to be my bodyguard, and Blanca agreed to a contract with me. It's remarkable, really. I didn't think I'd be able to earn their trust and support so swiftly.

[retellers]

[ they perk up... just a bit... ]

Are we... friends?

[ fr... iends...? ]

That's good to hear.

[recrowns]

[soo-won just laughs a bit at that]

Mm. I've thought it over, and while I think I can accept you as a Guardian of sorts, I'm not sure if the title of 'Leader' fits our relationship well.

[again, because soo-won has never followed anyone else for even a single day in his life]

So I think that we're friends.

[retellers]

Friends... I'm happy to hear that.

[recrowns]

I'm glad that we're friends too.

[he tilts his head]

Have you made many here? Or have you not asked?

[retellers]

I don't know what people think of me. Whether they consider me to be a friend or not...

[recrowns]

[soo-won hums thoughtfully at that]

I suppose some people can be rather unsure about admitting when they're fond of someone....

Maybe you'll get to know over time.

[retellers]

Maybe. It's hard to know what people are thinking.

[recrowns]

I normally just ask.

[he really, really does]

[retellers]

You ask if they think you're friends?

[recrowns]

Hm... Sometimes I ask where we stand.

Or I'll ask what's on their mind - or I'll tell them that I think that we're friends, and gauge their responses.

Sometimes people are deceitful - but not always.

[retellers]

[ ...

goat is quiet, as if it has never occurred to them to ask what people think. ]

[recrowns]

[nicely done, goat]

I think the results are rather good, if you care to try it. Just be gentle.

[retellers]

[ no hold on they're dazed soo-won has overloaded their brain ]

[recrowns]

[SWEET GOAT

soo-won is just going to pat their shoulder and eat his astronaut food

it's unclear if he even likes it or if he just likes the novelty of it]

[retellers]

[ ...




after a few moments they just start nibbling on their own astronaut food ]

[recrowns]

It tastes funny, doesn't it?

[why do you give it out to people]

[retellers]

It does taste unusual... I think.

[ they're not sure exactly what "usual" would constitute for them?

though they don't seem to mind the taste and continue eating. ]

[recrowns]

Fufu, do you know anything about space?

[is that even a memory that goat would keep]

I didn't, until today. I thought it was incredible!

[retellers]

I have quite a lot of knowledge of space, though no specific memories of it.

[ so that's a yes, kind of. ]

You have been visiting the north, then.
