A man I ate.

_{[So she can vouch for how good it tastes.]}

They're arm bones. I saved them for you.

[notwagging]

... oh.

[ well. it is definitely tasty? but it does raise a question, one that he needs to ask. ]

Was the man... uh, a bad man?

[ basically: did he deserve getting nom'd? ]

[colorature]

Bad enough.

_{[Honestly? She doesn't even really remember who this guy was but that's not important...so it's fine. Eat up.]}

[notwagging]

[ he's okay with this answer. even if Diva had answered something less than savory (unlike the bone, which definitely still has a ton of flavor on it) he probably wouldn't have been too irked...

most humans have done something wrong, anyway. ]

It's kind of nice having a bone that isn't your own in your mouth!

[colorature]

Right? My father scolded me for chewing on bones while he was skinning the arm that came from but I don't see what's so bad about it?

It feels nice, to chew.

_{[Keaton understands. Good thing her "father" aka Crowley isn't here to tell her no right now.]}

[notwagging]

[ oh... her father? weird. one of her parents are actually here?!

that makes his tail curl, not knowing she's referring to Crowley. ]

Well... uh. Wait. Skinning an arm?

[ squints. chew chew. ]

It does.

[colorature]

Mhmm. Crowley skinned it for me.

_{[What a nice dad, right?]}

I was hungry so...

[notwagging]

Crowley?

[ an unfamiliar name, as he gives the bone a few licks from one end to the other. ]

I'm glad you have someone who can help you like that. But... hm. He must be a pretty nice guy to do it for you.

[colorature]

He's a vampire too, but a different kind.

_{[He's her adopted daddy, you see.]}

He scolds me a lot but I think he cares. He wouldn't help me otherwise.

[notwagging]

A different kind of vampire...

[ checks out. there are different kinds of shapeshifters where he's from! and Wolfskin are clearly the best. ]

... it's because you're kind. And nice. And thoughtful!

[ LOOK HE GOT A BAG AND A BONE it's a red letter day. ]

A lot of people care about you.

[colorature]

_{[Too bad Crowley has gone back to sleep in his pod so Diva has one less wrangler to keep her in check.]}

You really think so? You're so sweet Keaton.

[notwagging]

Of course. Wouldn't say it if I didn't feel it.

[ besides, his ears and tail keep his honesty in check. ]

And you're just as sweet. More so than this bone.

[colorature]

_{[It's true. If there's one thing she's noticed it's that Keaton's a pretty bad liar.]}

That's quite the compliment coming from you.

[notwagging]

[ he puts the bone back into the bag, thoroughly covered in his saliva (the best marinade for future nibbling), and immediately pulls Diva in for a hug. ]

Thanks. It's... kind of been a while since anyone's given me something like this.

[colorature]

_{[The hug takes her by surprise, but it's returned almost immediately as she wraps her arms eagerly around his middle for a squeeze.]}

Really? But bones are your favourite, aren't they? I thought people would give them to you more often.

[notwagging]

They are! But I haven't really received a lot of presents. Ever.

[ his tail starts to swish, sending little puffs of dust to and fro. ]

I wasn't allowed to keep a ton of them when I traveled around with the army. I had to keep them in a... uh, special hiding place.

[ the Astral Plane. something Keaton could never TRULY comprehend or explain in full. ]

[colorature]

Mm...you deserve lots of presents though.

_{[As far as Diva's concerned, Keaton is a good boy who should get a whole cart of presents.]}

I didn't know you were in an army.

[notwagging]

[ he can only blush at the response, shrugging gently while his tail does the same. ]

I was! Me and a new pal were lost together, and we can into a village full of really friendly humans! They wanted to pet us, ask us questions, and... I think they were the only ones that didn't want our fur.

[ until he met Corrin. ]

We were trying to save the world. Basically. I think.

[ OR FIND EVERY TASTY BONE but no it was the world thing ]

[colorature]

Save the world...

_{[And here she was back home, trying to do the exact opposite. Oh well. It's not like Earth exists anymore anyway.]}

You're amazing, Keaton.

[notwagging]

Nah, I'm just Keaton.

[ compliments make his ears twitch, so thankfully he... uh... well, there they go. can't really do anything about it. ]

Too bad I couldn't bring all my new friends to my bone cave. Maybe someday in the future.

[colorature]

You have a bone cave?

_{[Okay so...why is she only finding out about this now? Keaton??]}

I want to visit it!

[notwagging]

I do! But it's back... well, it's wherever home went.

[ he frowns, tail twitching. ]

All of those bones and hides are gone.

[colorature]

Oh...

_{[That's disappointing.]}

That just means you'll have to make a new one!

[notwagging]

I will! I am! I.... I don't know, I think I have a better idea of how to sort things. "Things I hunted" versus "things that got hunted by other things that aren't me and I could've done it better".

[ yes. this is the Real Organizational Strategy ]

I just don't know if I'll have enough space for it all, if it ever gets to that point.

[colorature]

Well...I can always help you sort things Keaton.

_{[Whether or not she will be any good at it is another issue but still, the good intention is there.]}

You can always just get more space if you run out.
