[ he manages to sniff him out, but he's a bit frustrated with how long it's taken him, especially since he can move a lot faster than the average human. once he hears the guitar he slows to a stop, ears perking up, as he quirks his head... hm. so he's a jack of all instruments. hah! he trots closer and steps out of some bushes, ] Here you are. I thought I'd never find you.

[ Startling so hard that he only barely doesn't fall into the pond, guitar and all ]

[ Righting himself with a few frantic wing flaps ]

Oh-- it's just you! You startled me.

It's me. [ he's a little more round than venti might remember... ] I was looking for you. I didn't think you'd be this far out.

[ Sitting up a little straighter ]

How come? Did something else happen?

[ DO THE HORRORS EVER CEASE?? ]

...

[ stares at him. ]

What? Nnnno? I was worried. You did die four times...

[ Physically deflates in relief ]

Oh, whew! For a second I thought you were going to tell me the whole city burned down or something!

Well, since it's not that, would you care to join me?

[ Patting the rock beside him ]

...no, at least not yet. [ l- laughs. ] But I wouldn't come bother you for that.

How are you feeling, and don't tell me fine.

[ but he will join him, sitting awkwardly on a rock that's way too small for him. ]

Hmmm . . .

[ Plucking at the guitar strings idly ]

A little melancholy, perhaps! But nothing more serious than that.

...then let me sit with you until you're feeling a bit less melancholy.

Ehe, if you want.

[ The guitar strumming stops for a moment ]

How are you feeling, though? That was quite a game.

[ pentium lounges alongside the koi pond... and opens his mouth and dips his tongue into the water in an attempt to lure them over, so he can eat them. i'm sorry he's like this, venti. ]

Me? [ looks back at him. ] I'm fine. We won. I've just been hungry... which, reminds me, I'm sorry I... [ looks back at the pond. ] I'm sorry I ate you.

[ MUST you eat the fish he's been talking to for like a full twelve hours now? ]

--It's okay! I'm not angry or anything. Everyone did all kinds of things they wouldn't normally, me included. And anyway, I'm back and just fine now~

Did I taste good though?

[ YES. ]

But I can still feel bad about it. Killing someone is one thing... but eating them, especially a friend, is something else.

[ jghfkjhkh ]

W- What kind of question is that?!

[ CACKLES ]

You didn't answer! Does that mean I'm gamey and you're trying to spare my feelings? That's sweet~!

N- No! that's... that's not it. I don't, I can't... [ grits his teeth and moves away from venti. ] I'm hungry. I'm so hungry. [ lowers his head as the growling becomes louder. ] You were delicious and it's taking all the strength I have n- not to try to eat you again.

Oh . . .

[ A normal person would be more afraid, but Venti is not a normal person, nor has he ever been good at even pretending to be one. ]

Is this normal? What do you normally subsist on?

[ people. ]

Meat.

And, no, not like this. I can normally eat and feel full, but for some reason no matter how much I eat it's just not helping. [ prrrrobably because he's not eating the right thing, but nevermind that. ]

Hmmmm . . .

Do you wanna go get burgers?

Are you sure you’re feeling up for it?
