[He's still tense, and he's still really mad about this if he's honest, but all of this seems to be calming him down in some way? There's less barely-handled anger behind everything, at least; still some agitation, but less...all of that.]
no subject
Ja, of course. And in time, it won't even be something they'll remember to mention, because to them so many more "worse" things have happened.
no subject
But surely that's fine, because they were receptive to trade with us. I'm certain that Asgore at least is going to continue to insist that they're good people, blindly trusting fool that he is.
[It's not even that he dislikes Asgore, because he doesn't, but damn he's not in the mood to hear about how we have to remain positive towards these people.]
no subject
[Yeager shrugs a bit at that. He doesn't sound angry or upset at Asgore, this is just a fact of life.]
It'll be best to avoid the topic with him all together.

[...Garista, meanwhile, is still up there kind of vibrating a lot because he was told to go to bed and he understands that he's supposed to stay there until told to do otherwise, but as far as he's concerned this weird loud person has come into the house and now things aren't okay, so logically the house probably needs defending even though he was sent upstairs.
So, naturally, he's just going to have to defend the house from up here.
The initial scream is...impressively loud in an enclosed space, actually, and it gets Alexei to startle a bit before he turns to figure out what the fuck- ]
Oh, what is upsetting you now...
no subject
Oh my, maybe we're upsetting the poor thing.
[Does... does it not understand bitching...]
no subject
Probably so - it isn't as though he understands many words. I think the most he comprehends is his name, occasionally my name, and a handful of commands that I've taught him. He likely doesn't know what's going on.
[oh my god. just.]
Come here, Garista. Near me.
[The snake seems to take a moment to deliberate, as though trying to decide how brave he feels like being - screaming from the bed in the loft is one thing, actually approaching is another entirely, and he is suddenly not sure this is a good idea? Oh god oh man.
He'll come down eventually, though, eyeing Yeager suspiciously and coming to coil up...more behind Alexei than alongside but you know what, it's an attempt. This is an acceptable place to be brave from, however, and it's going to be emitting noises that, uh... Well, they might be attempts at growling but they come off more like weird murring noises that are trying very hard to be threatening and falling well short of actually being threatening.]
...He really doesn't seem fond of you, does he.
no subject
He certainly wouldn't be the first one! It seems most of them aren't very fond of me for some reason!
[yeah what could that reason possibly be, who knows]
no subject
[He's kind of noticed you looking at the snake, buddy.]
no subject
[...yep, that's all there is to it.]
no subject
...
Oh.
Oh, no.
Really?
He's quiet for a moment before glancing down at Garista, who still seems very annoyed at Yeager's presence and seems very determined to just kind of keep murring at him until morale improves; he doubts Garista even knows what would be considered morale improvement at this point, but damn if he's not insisting that morale needs to improve somehow.]
If you find them so endearing, I intend to return to the island sometime in the near future. I plan to check on the colonies I know of, and see if they've managed to survive the eruption without anything terrible befalling them.
Come along if you like; perhaps we'll find one that tolerates you.
no subject
Hmm. That's something he doesn't really want to think too much about, actually.]
It would be nice to make sure they're still around, ja. I suppose I wouldn't mind the company~!
[please help him obtain a fursnake...]
no subject
[This is weird and awkward, and he's not sure he likes it; at the same time, Yeager did do him something of a favor today, albeit unintentionally so.]
...I appreciate that you came here today. [...] Even if Garista doesn't...
no subject
Don't mention it, though!
no subject
[Garista of the fursnake variety seems to have realized that he is, in some capacity, being spoken about, and as such he stops with the irritated noises and just kind of looks up at Alexei and offers a little chirping noise, tilting its head a bit.]
...He was a strategist.
[wow, alexei]
no subject
[He sounds like he's trying hard not to laugh.]
That does sound like quite the fun namesake!
no subject
[His snake is such a dumbass.]
no subject
Be sure to let me know whenever you'd like to head out to check on Garista's friends! I am curious to see what happened to them...
no subject
They're probably fine. But I want to check for myself.
no subject
[And more importantly, obtain one for himself.]
no subject
[Mm.]
I'm sure we can get some to see if they can tolerate you, at any rate.
no subject
no subject
...I'm sure you'll manage.
