maybe getting a pet isn't that bad of an idea .

[ᅠ＊ᅠ𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐳.͟ᅠ𝓎𝑘𝑜𝑤𝑠𝑘𝑖ᅠ. @cidcren]

( he acknowledges the bird with a glance , before looking down at the ground momentarily . )

gotta expand the range of my scavenges now , I guess . anyway … just the pear ones will do for me .

my daughter .

mmh . I ran out of some stuff after The Hounds ransacked one of the stores I'd get supplies from .
took everything .

❝ Casey? ❞

He nods before starting to walk, holding a hand in the air for his golden eagle to come land on, sqwauking and ruffling its feathers.

❝ got pears, peaches, pineapple even. started stocking up before this shit even happened. ❞

[ᅠ＊ᅠ𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐳.͟ᅠ𝓎𝑘𝑜𝑤𝑠𝑘𝑖ᅠ. @cidcren]

the usually orangish gold peaches have turned into a dark brown color , with the juice within being akin to tar . )

( Nathaniel scrunches his nose a bit , before clearing his throat . )

… ahem . well ？

I'll trust your confidence , then .

haha, you'd be surprised. i've survived a lot of dumb shit. ( hand out, grabbing motion. ) i'll be the test rat. and if i survive it, you'll know they're still good!

[ᅠ＊ᅠ𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐳.͟ᅠ𝓎𝑘𝑜𝑤𝑠𝑘𝑖ᅠ. @cidcren]

I can't leave Casey alone for too long . She gets impatient .

right . then , if you have pear ones… I'll come with .

[☣︎ ⬩➤ AS ALIVE AS YOU NEED ME TO BE @LIMBOSREQUIEM]

Mmmm. No I have some at mine, mixed fruit too.

( he doesn’t flinch as cooper, his hawk lands on his shoulder, giving a little nuzzle. )

Doubt you wanna shelter out here for another night, gonna rain.

[ᅠ＊ᅠ𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐳.͟ᅠ𝓎𝑘𝑜𝑤𝑠𝑘𝑖ᅠ. @cidcren]

… these could be the last peaches . . in the whole world .

I dunno . this is rare stuff , it's hard to find … ( his voice is rasping a bit at the sheer thought of wasting canned desserts , when resources are so scarce . )

[☣︎ ⬩➤ AS ALIVE AS YOU NEED ME TO BE @LIMBOSREQUIEM]

S’maybe don’t eat ‘em then?
Got food back home I can share.

[ᅠ＊ᅠ𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐳.͟ᅠ𝓎𝑘𝑜𝑤𝑠𝑘𝑖ᅠ. @cidcren]

but I do agree with you . wasting good peaches would also be unfortunate . so , then —— down the gullet , yes .ᐣ

pssssht. i've had food poisoning before. a lot. i can totally handle the throw—up—shits. the instant reward is worth more than the later consequences.

… we can share .

if they're over—spoiled , it can kiII you . but —— if they're still slightly good , maybe it's worth it .

[️️⚠︎ ️️ ️️: ️️ ️️𝘔AN ️️ ️️ o͟verBOARD. @toypajed]

i'll take 'em if you don't want 'em.

[ᅠ＊ᅠ𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐳.͟ᅠ𝓎𝑘𝑜𝑤𝑠𝑘𝑖ᅠ. @cidcren]

they smell a bit off .
