[...You know, his first thought is that he's mildly surprised that Yeager doesn't have one, seeing as he obviously finds them so endearing; however, the comment about most of them not liking him kind of implies that he's come across a lot of them, or maybe that he's been seeking them out for some reason-
...
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.
The man he's named after was someone I knew a few years ago. No one you would have reason to know.
[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.]
..If the Roaka have a ceremony centered around it, that volcano must erupt regularly. The fact that there are colonies at all on that island implies that they probably know what to do and where to go when it explodes like that.
They're probably fine. But I want to check for myself.

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...]

[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!

That does sound like quite the fun namesake!

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
[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.

...I'm sure you'll manage.
