I can do black or purple. Or black AND purple. Both are quite easy.
I do, but I've gotten a lot better at not getting stuff in my fur. [Plus when he does, he gets fussed over and groomed and that's...nice.]

Where I'm from, you have to be 18.
Why do you ask?

[vibing]

black and purple then. thanks man
the tail still trips me up. its just back there, and it moves a lot, and i dont totally know how to control it. pretty annoying

[ sweet boy deserves all the grooming. yuri would never let someone do that for him... at least not yet ]

we arent there
i dont think there are laws here

thinking about getting one

[natzoom]

Of course. Do you want anything sewn into it? I've figured out how to make protective wards that I can add in. Not that you NEED one, just...if you want.
Oh, I understand. Sometimes it's in my control, sometimes I forget it and just goes everywhere.

You are? From who? Is there someone here who does tattoos?

[vibing]

oh thats really cool
i mean im pretty good in a fight
but i keep getting kidnapped by birds
you got any anti-bird wards?

sorry man. tails are rough

think i saw a place in epiphany
havent decided tho
seems like a pretty good way to say like
im not that guy anymore
the one back home
yknow?

[natzoom]

You keep getting kidnapped by BIRDS?? That's terrible!

I'm sure I can figure something out. At least some sort of "don't touch me" ward. I don't know if I can tailor it specifically to birds, but I can try?

Interesting. Is this your teenage rebellion?

[vibing]

yeah man it sucks
ive lost so many clothes

hey thats fine
really not a fan of anyone touching me without my say so
but who is?

nah that was when i kept getting thrown in jail

[natzoom]

Do the birds eat your clothes??? That's upsetting.

I suppose some people don't mind it, but I haven't met any. But yes, can absolutely make you a ward like that. It's getting easier, each time.

...was that after Flynn punched someone?

[vibing]

yep ate em right up

thanks man
let me know how much i owe you

once yeah
he told you about that time?

[natzoom]

That's very upsetting, I'm sorry.

You don't owe me anything. It's good practice. The more I work at it, the better I'll be, so I appreciate the request.

He did, yes. It was sort of hilarious.

[vibing]

i survived

if youre sure

[ Yuri is certainly going to pay him anyway. Expect some sort of baked good with some spoons thrown in, Natsume ]

yeah flynn used to be fun
he got on the straight and narrow a lot better than i did

[natzoom]

I'm very glad you did. I'll make you a warded tail covering right away so you're safe.

I'm very sure.

I think he's still fun. In his own way.

[vibing]

thanks man

[ Get ready for so much cake... ]

yeah hes more fun here
i think this place is making him loosen up
back home it was all knights this laws that
here hes getting to be himself again
glad you get to meet that part of him

[natzoom]

[He DOES love cake...]

It sounds like you both had a lot of pressure on yourselves in your home world. It's nice that you came here together, then. You get to sort of...rediscover yourselves and each other.

[vibing]

yeah i think youre right there. at least, flynn had a lot of pressure. he was doing great things, but it really
it made things hard for him
thats his story to tell but yeah
it feels like hes getting back to the guy i know

why are all you kids so smart

[ Natsume and Kaneki have had more insight into him and his life than most adults he knows ]

[natzoom]

That's the impression I've always gotten from him. That he wants so badly to do everything perfectly.

It's good he has someone like you.

Who's a kid? There are no kids here. [He's a full grown man, thanks.]

[vibing]

yeah thats flynn alright
cant say ive done a good job but hell ill try

sure kid

[natzoom]

I think you have. I think Flynn does too, if you'd ask him.

I'm basically the same age as you! [Does he actually know how old Yuri is??? No.]

[vibing]

[ well he certainly isn't going to ask ]

oh yeah? how old are you

[natzoom]

I'm seventeen.

[vibing]

trust me, kid
you dont want to be an adult until you really have to be
have fun enjoy it

[natzoom]

You're literally like twenty, aren't you???

[vibing]

so close

[ hes 21 but dumb about it ]

seriously though
being a kid rocks
dont try to grow up too fast

soon youll be figuring out how to duck taxes and getting real jail time instead of a slap on the wrist

[ Ah, adulthood ]

[natzoom]

I haven't felt like a kid for a long time. But I also haven't been to jail, so maybe I still count as one, by that metric.

[vibing]

maybe
the world likes to make us grow up too fast

but hey man
thanks
ill see about this tattoo
that you, an adult, are too young to have

[natzoom]

Well, I hope you find a good artist...

Fellow adult.
