"Window.
He taps at the window.
Has it been already an hour?
And yet he does not quit.
The window reveals no change.

Shirking to his old ways, staying hidden from everyone.

Everything is very loud.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤNo. He's just stupid.

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"Ahhh! There are probably mice in the walls..."

Shadow Man says in a kindhearted yet shortsighted attempt at rationalizing her dumb animal's behavior.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤOboe is staring at a blank wall, completely oblivious to her owner's thoughts.

😥😥😥😥

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

Ahhh... Oboe is so small and delicate... it scares me a little...

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

What if something hurts her...

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"O-Okay. You can talk to Rock. I'll be fine. I need... some time to myself I think."

Shadow Man says in between breaths.

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"I guess... maybe I should just sleep again."

Shadow Man huffs as he flops down on the bed, minding the search snake. He holds it close to his body, before grimacing a little further than he already was.

"...This is okay for him, right? It's not like a *real* snake, so..."

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"Mmghhhnnn... That was stupid I didn't mean to do that..."

He grumbles out, stroking the snake again. He's desperate for anything that could soothe him.

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"...Stay away from this room. That will be all!"

He beams at Rock before slamming the door and letting out an anxiety filled wretch.

He doesn't know why he did that. He gives @displacedsavior a look of desperation and discontentment. He looks like he's about to burst into tears

[— ROCK (&sys) @exheroisms]

ㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe hesitates for a moment, before shrugging.

「 ..do you need anything? To, uh, make up for it, y'know. 」
ㅤ

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

He considers it for a moment, befitting opening the door a crack. ...And then a little more.

"Okay. Thank you. A-Anything else...?"

[— ROCK (&sys) @exheroisms]

ㅤ
「 I wanted to apologize for yelling like that. We got... heated, and I know you don't like loud noises. 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe's focused on Shadow Man.
ㅤ

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

An immediate jump. He looks scrambled as he pries himself away from Dragon, handing Oboe off to them.

He goes up to the door and speaks feebly,"Wh-What do you want?"

[— ROCK (&sys) @exheroisms]

ㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤIt takes him a while to actually come out of his room, throwing his helmet off as he knocked on @DWN__024's door.

"R-Really?"

His eyes seem to sparkle at that notion,

"I-I haven't really, um... had a pet before. I-I mean I've taken care of Wood Man's animals before, but... That's—That's different, I think..."

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"Yeah... All guess work. I-I should stop worrying about things like that. Should just let things *exist* rather than try to figure them out. I want to let this beautiful creature exist."

Shadow Man murmurs as he runs his hand down the search snake's back. How poetic.

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"No, I just..."

He furrows his brow as he looks at Oboe. Heh. Oboe. He likes that name.

"I like it. I was just... a little freaked out. M-Maybe it has something to do with some inaudible frequency outputs I was giving off. That makes more sense than... mind reading. I guess."

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"Mmm..."

Shadow Man hummed in acknowledgement, staring down at the snake sadly, trying not to imagine the worst.

"...He looks like how Snake Man did. *My* Snake Man. Did it... know? Or is this just another way of the universe playing tricks on me?"

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"Very cute..."

Shadow Man then sniffles again and then huffs,

"Seriously, what was all the yelling about...? All I heard was something about a search snake and stuff and... I-I'm just worried. Sorry..."

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"Oohh... Hmm..."

He thinks a bit more. Those names are a bit too much of a mouthful for his taste, but he likes the idea...

After a small sniffle he smiles,

"Oboe. I think it's silly, but that's the point, right? Pet names are silly..."

[Shadow Man @DWN__024]

"Hhhoookay."

It's shaky. His voice is small and quiet. He runs his hand along the snake's back and he hiccups softly.

"...I can't think of a good name. I found them this morning."
