[ Sinclair relaxes a little smiling at Oria as he bumps shoulders with him gently. He really doesn't want to argue with Oria over Demian...or at all]

Mm. I'm sure if you had a chance to meet him properly you'd like him too.

[dissimulative]

[ Would he? He isn't very sure about that. In fact, he doesn't seem to match with the mysterious kind of person very well, because 1) he has to understand the person to even think of liking them and 2) he thinks it's cringe if it's done in a certain way and will break the immersion real quick to prevent Middle School Syndrome from spreading. ]

Yeah? I wonder. It's more that you'd like us to, isn't it?

[insinning]

...well, yes.

[Ah, caught out. Sinclair feels sheepish but unapologetic ]

[dissimulative]

Well, it's not bad to want such a thing.

[ Two people he likes meeting and getting along with one another... who wouldn't want that? ]

I doubt I'll ever get to meet him directly though, since he seems to be really elusive. Hell, not even you meet him that much.

[insinning]

[ He's glad Oria understands. ]

Mm. He's not fond of cities.

[ So it made sense to encounter him at sea]

[dissimulative]

[ It doesn't actually make sense to encounter him at sea!! ]

No promises, but I'll do what I can if we ever meet.

[ For Sinclair's sake, if anything. ]

[insinning]

[Ah. Sinclair smiles and steals a quick cheek kiss]

Thanks.

[dissimulative]

[ Oria smiles and returns the cheek kiss. He's finished with his food after pulling himself away from the arm hug he was doing. ]

I'll miss you, again.

[insinning]

I'll miss you too. [This is too short. He looks down and squeezes Oria's hand again. He was glad they at least had that one proper night together before he had to leave but...hm] I hope it wont be too long until next time.

[dissimulative]

That would be nice. When we do, we can catch up too. But I imagine that we'll be doing that by phone calls instead. Hearing stories from you is fun.

[ So many wacky and interesting stories from Sinclair. It's never boring. ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair looks wry but he seems pleased all the same]

Even though they're completely ridiculous and out of this world?

[dissimulative]

Yeah. As incredulous a seagull on a cycle might be, it's still pretty funny.

[ He goes back to hugging Sinclair's arm again. ]

[insinning]

I might have some photos of their training...

[It has to be seen to be believed honestly. Also why just his arm...hug him properly!! Sinclair tries to snuggle a little closer]

[dissimulative]

[ Because they're still out in public, unless Sinclair doesn't mind hugs as they sit... ]

Do you? I want to see them.

[insinning]

Here, let me...

[Hugging in public is fine?? :kyuchanpout: Sinclair presses closer, taking his phone out with his free arm as he scrolls through his images. There's one of the seagull's head as if it's charged straight at the phone and then posed. Another of it standing on a unicycle while Rodya shook a tiny fish at it. A shaky image of the seagull pecking at
Gregor's head angrily. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria takes a look at the pictures as Sinclair scrolls through them. He almost snorts at some of these, because it's funny to look at. He can guess what happened to them after the photo was taken. ]

I wonder why it's so mad at him. [ Gregor. ] Is it because he smokes so much?

[insinning]

I think so. It might have also been because it mistook his cigarette as a treat for it and it got mad that he wouldn't hand it over.

[There's a few more silly photos of the seagull and its owners? Parents? Trying to bribe it, Gregor cradling it like a baby when it got tired..]

[dissimulative]

You know... for people who presumably have little connections left, you guys are great about bonding with animals on the spot.

[ Seriously. A seagull though? Not something Oria would have expected in a "hey we played around with an animal yesterday and taught it tricks" sort of way. ]

[insinning]

That might just be Rodya and Gregor.

[Says Sinclair who will let any fluffy thing within a 5m radius imprint on him]

They're good with people...and animals.

[dissimulative]

And only those two?

[ Oria smiles mischievously. It's fine if Sinclair isn't. ]

[insinning]

I don't think I'm good with people the way they are.

[looks at Sinclair's work recruiting people into Phantom Operatives looks away]

And I wasn't the one to train Aitla - that was my dad. [The dog one. But oh!]

I did get a baby fox to eat out of my hand once. It was fun. [He got into so much trouble with his mom though...he still remembers her scolding]

[dissimulative]

If you feed them, it'll make them come back or worse, the other foxes will smell human on the baby and leave it to die.

[ He's heard about this, but he might have gotten the wrong animal. He just says it anyway without care. ]

Well, at least Mike liked roosting in your hair.

[insinning]

Hmm, is that true? [That sounds like a lie designed to make kids leave baby animals alone...

Oh. Sinclair grins]

Mike's a good bird.

[And he says 'I love you' so well now. He wonders if Mike has said it unprompted]

[dissimulative]

He's such a good bird that he's started to spew "I love you" so much.

[ Which would be sweet, but like. ]

To everyone. He even said it to one of the bodyguards that was going on break the other day. You're the one who taught him that, huuuuh?

[ He reaches up to lightly pull on Sinclair's cheek. ]

[insinning]

[Pffffthahaha. Sinclair tries to keep a straight face, but his smile is a little too obvious]

I didn't think he'd pick it up so quickly...

[Though even to the bodyguards...Mike, no]
