// Not today no, just happened to see a whole slew of them when checking the GIRP tags to see if there were any new people joining the verse

~decent meal outta the deal; sound good? I provide the fishing gear, you provide the location and the kitchen and we both provide the ingredients; that way we're both contributing in part and together."

~in the sudden refusal an insistence on the meal that this man isn't quite vocalizing, head canting to the side as he considers things for a moment.

"...tell you what; why don't we fish together and whip up a meal with whatever we both catch? That way I can show you the ropes and we both get a~

~in a more insistent offer to the other, clearly not willing to take no for an answer here.

"Really, I'm not that worried about it. I'd rather it get some good use again instead of just sitting around collecting dust. You'd be doing me a favour!"

Of course, he can tell that there's something~

~shrugging lightly.

"Might be a good way to break the news to him about us... and, you know... kinda hard for him to refuse a visit to the clinic if I've got him trapped at the dinner table."

~back to Wanderer now that his father and food had come up in the same conversation.

"Speaking of him and a meal though, why don't we wait until we catch up with him and take him out to dinner? He's never been to Sumeru before and I'm sure he's gotta be hungry after the trip here." He offers,~

~trying to pry into Wanderer's business any more than they already have, Ajax took his hand and started at a more leisurely pace towards their destination.

"Yeah, Dad probably would want me to eat a more appropriate meal for my size now..." He comments with a playful sigh, turning his attention~

~Kuni, I ate on my way here this morning~." He hums, avoiding one last group of Akademiya students on the way out of the city before he finally let his delusion go and gently set Wanderer on his feet along the path.

Satisfied they weren't going to be stopped or gawked at by any irritating students~

Ajax only jolted slightly with the jab at his side, scooting along to get them out of the city as quickly as he possibly could, going as far as to activate his delusion just so he could scoop Wanderer up and, by all appearances, teleport to avoid running into people along the way.

"Joke's on you,~

~like you were depriving an animal of the sun."

~a toy version, a life sized dog version and then your crazy big guard version if you really wanted to go big." He hums, tracing an idle pattern against Wriothesley's chest now.

"I figured even if you just make the life size one it'd be a way for you to keep a pet in the Fortress without feeling~

~of the way, Ajax turns his attention to the blueprints and laughs, shifting to prop himself up a bit so he can see Wriothesley's face better.

"I thought it'd be fun, even if it was just something teeny tiny." He jests, motioning with his hands for emphasis. "The prints have the measurements for~

~was a little more durable was a good idea." He hums, shifting the case they came in so Wriothesley could see his name etched onto it. "It's a custom order I paid for so it should last you a good while, and if anything ever breaks I've got the warranty papers to have it replaced."

With that out~

~gently slipping it around Wriothesley's neck to tie a bow on him, snorting to himself and settling his head back against his hands to watch him go over them all.

"I couldn't help but noticed some of your stuff looked a little worn out or broken in some places, so I thought getting you a set that~

Ajax wrinkles his nose playfully as the sticker is placed on him instead, folding his arms against Wriothesley's chest so he can rest his head against his hands to watch him work the gift open.

The ribbon from the bow was slipped away while the older looked over the new tools, Ajax taking it and~
