[cyclists]

Yeah. [They perk up again.] But people are still pretty mad.

[So it's nice, thanks Tsuru.]

[preowned]

They'll either get over it or they won't.

But... it's fine to be a little mad. It keeps you motivated.

[cyclists]

[True.]

We'll see how motivated everybody is over the next couple of days. Hopefully we'll have some news for you guys before everybody gets restless.

[preowned]

Everyone seems to be a good group of kids, at least.

[ ignores the fact that some people straight up has assassination on their profiles it's fine ]

So it could be worse.

[cyclists]

[. . .]

Are you really as old as your scroll says?

[preowned]

My scroll...? Oh! Yes.

[ he laughs ]

I didn't have a human form for most of that time though.

[cyclists]

[Wow.]

I think you're even older than the master. [This is just idle commentary now.] You don't look that old though.

[preowned]

[ who the fuck is the master

unfortunately, tsuru is a literal object so terms like master is just normal ]

I may not look it but I'm definitely an old man.

[cyclists]

[I didn't even realize how Tsuru would take that but that's. Fine.]

An old man who likes farm animals. [There's a huff of amusement.] Everybody needs a hobby, I guess. They really are just kids to you then. [The others in this town.]

[preowned]

I don't usually get to spend time with regular people, so it's been fun!

[ they usually have to keep their interactions with humans at a minimum, for obvious reasons ]

Humans are never boring.

[cyclists]

That's what's nice about this group. [So, like, mood.] They're unpredictable, but interesting. [...] We ended up with a lot of people who aren't human though.

[preowned]

Still, I'm used to only hanging around people like me now! Or the enemy. Or...

[ the people the enemy is targetting

but he shrugs ]

So it's still a welcome change. I can learn so much!

[cyclists]

Are you teaching them just as much as you're learning?

[preowned]

I'd hope so. It's better when it's a mutual thing.

[ although most of the things that tsuru can teach are

questionable ]

[cyclists]

[...
...looking at the crane...
...
looking at Tsuru.]

Can you teach me how to make these?

[preowned]

Origami?

[ he glances down at it ]

I can, sure.

[cyclists]

Does it have to be birds? Can you make other things out of paper?

[preowned]

You can make a lot of different things with them! Would you like to do it now, or another time?

[cyclists]

[The answer's now because Sol is also kind of lonely and likes having something to do, but.]

You probably have other stuff to do today, don't you?

[preowned]

I guess, but... I always have things to do.

[ tsuru is great at keeping himself busy ]

Shall we go then? It'll be fun.

[cyclists]

Yeah. [And Sol's jumping off of the fence now to land on the ground, reaching over to give the cow one more goodbye pat.] Let's go.

[Thanks Tsuru you're a pal.]

[preowned]

[ he is so proud of sol's character development with this cow

but off they go then! ]
