Please, no need to apologize! I'm sorry that this is new to you, really... But I hope that it isn't a bad thing to adjust to.

[At her assessment of Scien, he smiles again, all warmth and eyes halfmooned with a fondness.]

I'm glad to hear that, too! He has a bad personality, but he's really much better than it makes him seem. He could use a little socialization too, so if you can handle him, please don't be afraid to spend more time with him!

You sound close to him.

[ She feels a little jealous, but it's nothing malicious. ]

Were you two together for a long time?

[There is perhaps a lil blip of increased amusement, also non-malicious.]

You could say that! I met him a long time ago, and we've been working together ever since.

[ Oh... That suddenly makes sense with the research that they were doing. ]

If you don't mind me asking... how long have you been the same age?

Ehe, I don't mind. It's fifty years this year!

[The way that both himself and Scien are truly just senior citizen age. Every time they squabble it's just two grandpas hitting each other with their walkers.]

It's a little surprising, right? My face is this cute, but I'm an old man inside... [This is mostly said with some amusement, though.] Monsieur Gregor and Mademoiselle Rodeo didn't seem all that troubled by it, though! It seems like you all run into some interesting things where you're from too, don't you?

Oh, well... Yes. You'd be right.

[ "Anything might as well be real" has been the mindset that Yuri is slowly adopting while on this ship. ]

It would be more comforting to make it seem like the age you seem to be, isn't it? I think I can understand that sort of thinking...

[ "Acting one's age" is a social construct. Do what your heart desires, Dahut. ]

[So valid of her. He saw a 3 meter tall fishman and immediately adopted the same philosophy, too.]

It's not a bad thing to be really flexible and adaptable! I think that skill will serve you well here.

[Considering she's out here befriending people who've been sent to the brig, he's getting the vibe that she'll probably manage just fine. This is a ship full of weirdos who are so openly accepting of other weirdos... The way this will be proven correct with their mass shenanigans party on Wednesday.

He laughs at that, though; a light and chiming sound.]

Mmm, it's a little less a matter of comfort. It's pretty hard for Relivers to change in personality, no matter how many years they're around! Monsieur Scien has also been exactly the same for all the time I've known him.

[ Loving how Sidon is the measure of anything abnormal here.

But she's rather surprised. ]

Really? Even through possibly big events in his life?

[ He's sure to have them... right??? ]

[GIANT FISH MAN IS TRULY THE LITMUS STRIP.

Dahut just laughs a little at that, though, and while the vibes are still fond, they are also vaguely exhausted. In a constant state of wanting to hit Scien with a brick.]

Well, you see... Monsieur Scien is so hard to ruffle and views things in such a strange way that he probably couldn't even tell you any "big events" in his life if you asked him! Even creating life-saving technology is just another day to him.

[ ... ... ...

Yuri just stares at Dahut in surprise. There are no thoughts either. Just straight up shock. ]

Is he... alright?

[ is he ok ]

[She is so valid for this reaction HELP.]

Monsieur Scien is never okay. [DOUBLE HELP.] But! That's just how he is. He clearly didn't have much of a reactive personality even beforehand, and he refuses to do anything to change it! That's why it's up to the people around him to try pushing him into situations that might get a fun reaction.

[THE BULLYING.]

[ Oh. She suddenly feels bad for him, but he's so unaffected by everything, so does that even matter?? ]

I hope he doesn't get pushed too hard...

[ What sort of situation even... ]

[He thinks this is so sweet and charming and also so, so funny...]

He can handle a whole lot, so he can be pushed super hard and it's no problem! If you ever feel like pushing him, go right ahead!

[Pushing (literal) (metaphoric) is fine!]

I could never...

[ She would definitely feel bad about it. ]

What would you even push him to do anyway?

[ set him up on a blind date?? ban his drinks? Take away his uno??? ]

Maybe with a little time, once everyone gets used to his personality.

[He is so bulliable underneath the unflappability... At least in Dahut's humble opinion.]

Oh, all kinds of things! Mostly socializing so he doesn't forget how to do it and that's the easiest way to get him out of his comfort zone.

[ Yuri gets it though. She wouldn't want to socialize more than she has to... ]

He... would forget how?

[ concern.jpg

HOW IS DAHUT GONNA BULLY SCIEN NOW WHEN DAHUT IS DEEEEAAAAAD ]

[Sweet Yuri... Fortunately Dahut will not bully her into socializing, though he would have tried to gently persuade her into doing more of it if he didn't die. Oopsie!]

Yes! Like a feral woodland creature.

[ oopsie... 😭 ]

That's... incredible.

[ Maybe Scien needs to be studied too. ]

[HE REALLY DOES. He just laughs again, though, setting his hands on his hips. The vibes are very jovial and teasing, but in a fond sort of way.]

Right? I don't know anyone else like him! For the best, probably! But that's why you should just drag him off to do whatever fun thing you might think of doing.

I'm not sure if I can manage to do that, but I'll try to talk to him more often.

[ Then... everything sure happened. ]

Mm! And if you need any help or backup, you can just call for me and I'll be there right away! I'm used to dealing with his antics, so I won't let him be mean or push you around, okay? Promise!

[Well.

WELL. SHE WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT SOON........]

Thank you, Dahut. I'll... try my best.

[ hahaha yeah :') ]
