[ he is approaching slowly and also keeping an eye out for topper should topper approach ]

I didn't... uh... really do anything worth praising, but thanks....

[ he thinks? ]

Wonder if it's always gonna be like this...

[silicone]

[ topper skitters up from his jacket as he hears livio coming closer, tiny head poking out. he squeaks softly in greeting. ]

It's all teamwork. [ he smiles ] ... I'm kind of hoping it'll be a little less crazy. Not as much stabbing would be nice, at least.

[crimebaby]

[ he is still so hesitate to touch topper but he reaches out a hand if topper wants to sniff ]

There really wasn't that much stabbing...

[ a bit sulkily because he's gotten so much crap for his little baby cut ]

[silicone]

[ a tired smile ] Most trials don't have any.

[ topper does indeed crawl out fully to sniff... and then nuzzle his finger gently. ]

[crimebaby]

[ he is completely still while topper does this and has no idea what to do with this nuzzling so it's just this giant comically not moving ]

Have ya been to trials before...?

[ quickly trying to get the subject off of stabbing ]

[silicone]

It's not a thing.

[ and that's final. glancing at topper, he smiles. ] Go on, buddy. Say hi.

[ which results in a tiny stoat friend just crawling forward to try... and climb up livio's arm... if allowed. ]

[crimebaby]

Alright, alright, I get it... [ grumbled a little.... but more in a pouty kind of way. ]

[ he will allow it but mostly just stay still to allow for this topper thing to happen ]

He's... pretty well trained.

[silicone]

He's been smart as long as I've known him!

[ topper will just crawl up and lean in to sniff sniff and will then perch on his shoulder... and squeak triumphantly. ]

I think he likes you... guess I'm not surprised.

[crimebaby]

[ livio is standing so comically still like he's trying not to disturb topper with his presence somehow. topper has conquered livio ]

He seems pretty friendly.... is he like this with everyone?

[silicone]

[ places a tiny flag with topper's face on top of his head and runs away (no) but also topper does eventually skitter back down, comfortable with his thorough hello as he returns to eiden's shoulders. ]

Mmm, this week he's been especially friendly. But I think you remind him of his best friend back home.

[crimebaby]

[ oh, whew. he has successfully made a topper interaction. relaxes a little bit now that he's not at risk of hurting topper by breathing, somehow ]

His best friend back home? It's not you?

[ it's a huge monster? thinks livio ]

[silicone]

I'm just one of his friends. Quincy was the guy who found him, though, and who he lives with most of the time in the woods.

[ a small smile. ]

He's a really kind guy too. Most people think he's scary just because they haven't bothered to get to know him.

[crimebaby]

[ everyone here is so sweet to livio.... including eiden ]

.... Most people here don't think I'm scary.

[ which is very weird for him ] I guess kinda it makes sense, if ya know a big scary looking guy at home...?

[silicone]

I don't really think Quincy's actually scary at all, but other people do, probably because he's lived for a pretty long time... and they don't really understand why. Neither do I, really. But... anyways, he's actually pretty handsome.

[ a wink. he's terrible. i have no regrets. ]

1/2

[crimebaby]

Oh..... just because he's old...? [ he is thinking, like, inhumanly old... i hope quincy is actually just like 40 or something ]

[crimebaby]

[ oh boy ]

[ livio goes beet red ]

H-Handsome!?

[ loser ]

[silicone]

—!!!

[ help YOUR RED FACE. eiden blinks a bit and then just. folds his arms a little. ]

Especially handsome—You okay, Livio?

[crimebaby]

[ trying to hide his face ]

Sorry, I--- You're talking about your friend! Sorry!!

[ he's such a fucking loser i'm sorry ]

[silicone]

[ oh my god please— ]

Hey, it's okay! It's... I...

[ he laughs a little, and it's touch week in this thread so suffer me as he reaches out a bit to brush his elbow. ] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you?
