HF 030 Rune and Morab make tea

[10/7/16, 10:13:01 PM] Josh: You guys head off into the kitchen.  Morab starts the tea.

[10/7/16, 10:13:10 PM] Josh: Morab: "How long you meet Hank?"

[10/7/16, 10:14:00 PM] Rune: Um, just a couple of weeks, I think. Not really that long. He seems really dedicated to his work.

[10/7/16, 10:14:40 PM] Josh: Morab nods.  "Always like work.  I remember when he first got accepted.  His face, big smile."

[10/7/16, 10:15:29 PM] Josh: Morab looks at you suggestively.  "But...work not everything, yes?"

[10/7/16, 10:17:04 PM] Rune: Er, well. It is now, kind of. For us I mean. I don't think he's interested in me like that.

[10/7/16, 10:20:04 PM] Josh: Morab: "Ah, he does not know what he want."

[10/7/16, 10:20:35 PM] Rune: He's still pretty young, isn't he?

[10/7/16, 10:21:17 PM] Josh: Morab: "Very young."

[10/7/16, 10:21:25 PM] Josh: Morab: "He will always be young to me, yes."

[10/7/16, 10:23:05 PM] Rune: But he'll figure it out eventually. Whether it's me or, or somebody else.

[10/7/16, 10:23:53 PM] Josh: Morab: "...if it helps, I root for you."

[10/7/16, 10:25:01 PM] Rune: Rune smiles. "As long as we both root for Hank, that's the important thing."

[10/7/16, 10:25:50 PM] Josh: Morab: "Of course.  ...but...sooner be better, yes?  I am old.  Grandchildren no come themselves."

[10/7/16, 10:26:04 PM] Rune: Rune blushes blueish.

[10/7/16, 10:27:08 PM] Rune: You don't look old to me! But I'm not very good at telling ages. I didn't grow up with a lot of contact with other humanoids at all.

[10/7/16, 10:27:48 PM] Josh: Morab: "...I am Orc...old for me is not old for you."

[10/7/16, 10:28:42 PM] Rune: Oh, I see! Well, we are trying to adopt a baby. We think he's a baby. It's a little bit difficult to tell.

[10/7/16, 10:29:23 PM] Josh: Morab: "Oh!  ...boy or girl?"

[10/7/16, 10:30:03 PM] Rune: Boy, definitely. We haven't gotten terribly far yet, so he's still living in the sewer where we found him.

[10/7/16, 10:30:32 PM] Josh: Morab: "That horrible!  Boy cannot live in sewer!"

[10/7/16, 10:31:11 PM] Rune: That's what we said! Of course he's a dragon, so it isn't as if he can't take care of himself. But even so, a baby is a baby and babies shouldn't be left all alone in the sewer, dragon or no.

[10/7/16, 10:31:37 PM] Josh: Morab: "...is...dragon?"

[10/7/16, 10:32:42 PM] Rune: A lovely black dragon. He's friendly, but he hasn't learned a language and he's obviously been bullied and hurt a great deal, he's got scars from swords. Who hits a baby with a sword?

[10/7/16, 10:33:13 PM] Josh: Morab looks you over a little weird.

[10/7/16, 10:34:35 PM] Rune: ... I know it's a little odd, but it's still a baby. Dragons are intelligent, he ought to be speaking and literate by now and somebody just left him there like trash. It's not right.

[10/7/16, 10:34:43 PM] Josh: She kind of looks at you like you just said you were adopting a wild cougar and referring to it as if it were a child.

[10/7/16, 10:35:57 PM] Josh: Morab: "Let us bring tea, yes?"

[10/7/16, 10:37:03 PM] Rune: Yes. And I'm sure he'll have his own baby soon too. He's almost that age and he has a very good job, with the AEGIS promotion going off.

[10/7/16, 10:38:09 PM] Josh: Morab grabs a tray for the tea and smiles.  "Promotion.  Promotion always good.  I am glad you and he are friends."

[10/7/16, 10:38:43 PM] Rune: ... don't tell him I like him, all right? It might be awkward for him.

[10/7/16, 10:39:04 PM] Josh: Morab zips her mouth.  "Mom's the word, yes?"

[10/7/16, 10:39:49 PM] Rune: Yes. .... I like Quill too anyway. So I don't know what will happen. But I know Hank will find the right person.

[10/7/16, 10:41:23 PM] Josh: Morab heads for the door.  "Is dangerous, to like two people like that."

[10/7/16, 10:41:52 PM] Rune: I know. I'm not even sure if Hank doesn't like Quill too.
