[ He's never been cool in his life and Sophia will learn this soon. But also, that's a very astute observation there. ]

Ah. [ How does he put this.... ] I don't spend a lot of time around animals. They usually don't like me.

[humainity]

[ She was right. This man is absolutely a professional (at pancakes, surely nothing else). ]

Woooow...

[ This is not sarcasm or humoring him, she is genuinely in awe at this tiny smorgasbord he just presented her with. ]

... Can I wait for you?

[ Not because she needs moral support or anything, but... everyone had seemed happier back in Japan when she'd seen them eating together. Maybe there's something to be said for that. ]

[humainity]

... Really?

[ This does seem to sincerely flummox her. ]

Are you perceived as a threat?

[lockedon]

[ Has she seen him....HAS SHE OBSERVED HIM.....actually he's not carrying his giant gun around right now and isn't wearing his usual resting bitch face so. Maybe she hasn't seen the worst part of him. ]

Usually. It would be a problem if I wasn't.

[lackluster]

[ He's so lucky that Sophia seems easy to pleased, but he is pretty happy to see her light up at the sight of the pancakes. ]

You wanna eat together? Sure, we can do that.

[ Thankfully, making more pancakes aren't time-consuming. It won't be long until he has three pancakes of his own that he'll take to the dining area. ]

Need something to drink?

[ He's checking the fridge for drinks... ]

[humainity]

[ yeah he just looked grumpy and that doesn't mean a thing?? ]

Oh? Do you find yourself in dangerous situations often, then?

[ He appears to be used to combat, or at least he doesn't look like a shut-in with unhealthy levels of solitude-- ]

[lockedon]

[ marge looking away meme

But this is a question he can answer easily at least, the return the familiar imbuing him with a smidge more confidence. His hand reaches back out to pat the baby whale again, movements a bit more smooth this time around. ]

I'm a soldier. I'm used to engaging in combat on a regular basis.

[humainity]

Ah, I'm okay. Thank you. I don't need beverages.

[ Well, she doesn't need food either, but. New experiences, she can't pass up pancakes. ]

[humainity]

A soldier...

[ Processing... even as she watches him pet the calf and its little wings flutter happily in acknowledgment. ]

Does that mean you're in a war currently?

[lockedon]

[ does it count as a war if it's personal…… ]

Something like that. [ How vague. ] I'm trying to stop a war from happening.

[humainity]

I see... I've never tried to prevent a war, but I hope it's easier than starting one. They're not very good for humanity.

[ understatement. ]

[lockedon]

[ definitely understatement. ]

Most things are easier to destroy than to fix. [ unfortunately. but also: ] Ideally you'll never have to be involved in any part of a war.

[ she looks so youthful..... ]

[lackluster]

[ Pancakes are difficult to pass up, especially when they're as cute as how Childe made them. He grabs a can of soda for himself before sitting down. Time to eat. ]

If you're sure. You should tell me how you like these. I want to know what you think.

[ It'd feel bad if she ends up not enjoying the pancakes... ]

[humainity]

[ he has No Idea. ]

Yes, I agree. I'm humanity's companion and I don't think a good companion would get involved in a war unless humanity itself was in danger...

[lockedon]

[ ...

.....................

hang on. ]

'Humanity's companion'?

[ what, like a dog? ]

[humainity]

Yes, that's what I am. It's my objective.

[ She would be pleased if she had soft fluffy dog ears, probably, but alas. ]

[lockedon]

[ time to ask the mods for a nekomimi event

But also: that explanation did nothing to enlighten him on her status as humanity's companion and he looks just as puzzled as before. ]

What exactly does that entail...?

[humainity]

Offering support and guidance in a way to help humanity... grow and improve, I think?

[ She never really got a rundown, so she's also just as puzzled about her own directive. ]

[lockedon]

[ So sorry, but he really has to ask, in the most doubtful tone possible: ]

You think.

[ girl................. ]

[humainity]

[ Her nose scrunches up. ]

All I remember is my name and my objective. I have no memories before that.

[humainity]

[ She is taking a respectable forkful of pancakes to try with the syrup first, and Childe doesn't actually have to worry here, because her face lights up after a few seconds of thoughtful chewing. ]

It's sweet...!

[lockedon]

[ That's kind of concerning, actually. ]

And long how ago was that?

[humainity]

If you mean from when I woke up... I suppose it's been approximately a month.

action!

[defendure]

[ Since it's the weekend and they made plans...have an Izuku! He is unfortunately wearing a shirt that says "DRESS SHIRT" on the front although it is by no means that. And a cardigan on top, which is slightly nicer...? Anyway, let's say he picked her up already and he's now showing her... ]

So, this is an arcade! There's several around but this one is my favorite. [ According to his fake memories, but he finds he agrees with them. ] It's got some old school games you don't find in a lot of places, but also some newer ones...and there's some attached things too! Like laser tag. And a bowling alley.

[humainity]

[ Sophia is vaguely confused by the shirt that says dress shirt that is... not... but it's fine? It's fine. It's a shirt.

Outside of Dodo, her hair has formed slightly more Sensible braids (as in they actually look like they're connected) and she's dressed in a hoodie that falls past her knees but also shorts underneath so it's fine. For now, she's listening to Izuku with an air of bright fascination. ]

I've heard both laser tag and bowling are good recreational activities, because you're also moving your body. It's... loud, in here.

[ All the machines going at once... ]
