CHIRON CATCHALL

week 2 monday morning

[laid]

[A new week, a new room and roommate, it seems! And this time he can actually tell right away, thanks to the jaunty sea vibe we're doing instead of enclosed pods.

Raven's not sure hammocks were designed for horses, regardless of how big you make them.]

Jeez, ya need a hand gettin' out of that thing?

[antaressnipe]

[-- Well he will certainly not be staying in this room during the night!

Meaning, uh. Chiron is trying his best trying to keep the hammock steady and slowly lower a hoof onto the floor.

It's a lot harder than it looks]

No, though I thank you for the offer.

[Is he just being stubborn about it? Maybe. Listen, even centaurs have moments where they'd prefer to maintain their dignity]

I trust you are my new roommate, then?

[laid]

[WELL, IF CHIRON IS SURE...]

Seems like it. Wonder what the purpose is of givin' our rooms makeover and new occupants each week.
[Hmmmm.]

D'you think there's gonna be some sorta seafarin' area to go with this?

[antaressnipe]

Perhaps forging new bonds will benefit our collection of Nova in some way.

[He says, with one hoof now on the floor and another somehow tangled in a hammock string. Surely it's fine]

But yes, I would assume so. Are you familiar with that setting?

[laid]

Familiar? I guess so. Seems like the sorta bunkroom you'd find on a ship ta me. You never been on one, Teach?

[Just gently nicknames.]

[antaressnipe]

I've been on one, yes, but it has been... many years.

[Maaaany years.

Also hardly blinking at that nickname tbh, merely tilting his head]

[laid]

In my experience, horses don't really do great on boats. Is it the same fer you?

[antaressnipe]

Well, seeing as I am a centaur...

[Bruh]

But no, I do not prefer them. If I am to move, I prefer it be because of my own legs, not the ocean.

[Maybe the horse gets seasick easily]

[laid]

I just meant since I think its their legs that give 'em trouble and you have the same ones, not tryin' ta call you a horse.

[PLEASE HE IS NOT A CENTAUR RACIST]

[antaressnipe]

[Pushes you into the dirt Caitie YOU KILLED HIS ROOMMATE]

You'd be surprised how much having a human brain helps with adapting to my bottom half.

[A huff of a laugh]

It isn't easy for me to get around, but I can manage on a ship if I must.

[... he says with one of his legs still fuckin trapped in the hammock]

[laid]

[I DID NOTHING DON'T BULLY ME!!!!]

Yeah?
[Observing this...]

And yer sure you don't want a hand?

[antaressnipe]

... Perhaps a second, if you have any to spare.

[His patience is wearing thin here, and this has slid to a level of indignity he can't justify anymore]

[laid]

[Getting up!!! Reaching up to tie his hair back as he does so, almost reflexively. It hasn't been brushed. That's the secret to the volume...]

Feels like the Realm keeps forgetting to account for ya when it comes ta sleeping arrangements.
[Before we had the elevator and bigger horse beds....]
