Summertime [Open]

Zouichi sat by a the mirrored black water of a small pond. Nearby, a wisteria plant was coming into bloom, dangling its delicate, curved violet flowers toward the earth.

As promised, a tray of chilled watermelon slices was set to the side, near the wooden steps leading down to the garden and free for any passersby to take. For his part, however, Zouichi occupied himself with feeding a small group of googly-eyed baby goldfish, who darted back and forth through the water to gobble up stray flakes of fish food.

It was nice to take a break from exploding ghost wolves lions once in a while.

Emergency Rations jumps up on the table and sniffs the watermelons. She licks one with mild interest before walking away from it, tail up in the air like a banner.

She's far more interested in the goldfish. She pads over to the other side of the pond from Zouichi and starts swatting her paw under the water at them.

Emergency Rations goes and sits at Zouichi's feet, staring at his as if it's his fault the fish left and therefore his responsibility to give her an adequate substitute snack.

She yowls at him to reinforce her argument.

Well, they do say pets become like their owners.

Emergency Rations sniffs the candy in Zouichi's hand, picks it up in her mouth and spits it back out onto the ground. She gives a displeased meow at Zouichi and bites and bats at a strap on Zouichi's boot.

Zouichi is clearly inviting Emergency Rations to attack his hand. She bats at the grass and then just gives up on politeness and starts biting his knuckles and thumb.

Have you ever tried to train a cat, Zou? No. You haven't.

Emergency Rations hisses at the flicked water and swats at Zouichi some more returning her attention to the pond and waiting for the goldfish to come back out.

"Hey, Zou, can you get your bird to stop trying to talk to me while I'm napping?" Howard meanders out, looking a bit like he's only half-awake still. "There's still watermelon left, right? Right?"

"Why would you eat Zouichi when there's perfectly good watermelon?" Howard asks the cat, although it's difficult to make out because he chose the moment before that to stuff nearly an entire slice in his mouth. "Did you grab the hair on the back of her neck? That usually calms her down a little."

Oh boy, Alend got the message and if there was one thing she jumped at on this ship, it was fresh fruit. She may have not known what a watermelon was exactly but the term 'melon' was pretty universal. So she invited herself without warning. Without any greeting, she grabs a slice and takes a small bite of it.

"Cassie just told me it was bad if I picked her up like that." He takes another slice of watermelon and sits on the grass, coaxing Emergency Rations over. After a few moments of ignoring him she walks over and headbutts his knee. "Why's she trying to eat you, anyway? Most animals love you."
quick_strike: (haha no)

"Fresh food should always be relished." Any hot comment she had was washed away by the fresh, cleansing taste of watermelon. Alend did make a note to visit the planet at some point to get some more fruits if required. But right now, what mattered most was what was in front of her.

The Greeed had mostly just been better acquainting himself with the area, getting used to locations and trying to find blind spots. But he'd seen the network post, and seeings as he'd found the inn...he walked in, for some reason. Japanese architecture always confused the hell out of him with its lack of straightforward layouts, but eventually he stood awkwardly on the walkway, overlooking the garden. Only then did he sincerely begin to wonder why the hell he had come here. If he over-saturated their meetings, then he'd lose a potential ally.

But he just kept standing there awkwardly, looking damn confused.

Nah, Zou. Emergency Rations is still just chafed about those goldfish.

"Nope. Should I? Do you think she'd be good at it?" Howard rubs behind her ears. "You have to play with her with strings or sticks, otherwise she bites."

"Awful and unrealistic." She plucked a seed from her mouth and kept it in her hand. There were uses for these kind of things. "But in a somewhat acceptable way."
greeedycat: (gives me the shivers just thinking about)

[personal profile] greeedycat 2011-10-29 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
A glance at the watermelon, then Zou, watermelon, Zou, watermelon.

"Greeed can't eat. I won't waste it."

Aaaand he promptly plopped down to sit somewhat nearby, itching the back of his hat.
