Carlo reached a hand to grab her shoulder, almost engulfing that part of her body. Pulling her back a little, he leaned down and whispered dangerously "I'll be keeping an eye out for you, bitch. The moment your moldy-ass friend isn't around, it's to the auction with you." He then shoved her on her way before turning to leave as well.

Cally tensed as he did, her confidence gone. She knew better than to cry out for her friend though, not wanting to make him retaliate. When he released her she looked a little shaken, hurrying to catch up with Fatid. She stayed abnormally close to his side.

Fatid hadn't noticed anything, so he'd kept walking. "Come on, let's go somewhere else. We can either settle back in the room for a while and wait until the party, or we can go eat before. Up to you."

“Let’s eat maybe.” She was a little hungry, “Though lets try not to go to an expensive place. I need to save my coins thank you.”

Fatid nodded. "I know a cheaper place with good food." He led her to where he had in mind, a nice little place but still busy. They were soon seated and he said "It's probably best we eat before anyway, if you plan on going straight to the alcohol once we get to the party."

Cally shrugged, “Yeah, but I’m going to make sure to pace myself.” She assured him, “and you should too even if you can’t get drunk as easily.”

Fatid shrugged. "I'll try." When they arrived and were seated, though Fatid didn't use a chair, he looked through the menu, which he held with a thinner tentacle. "So, I assume you haven't been off-planet hunting since you've barely finished training? No other dimensions or planets?"

Cally shook her head, “no. They only focused on earth based hunting in my training. Though that does sound cool.” She then looked to Fatid after deciding on what she wanted, “I’m assuming you have, right?”

Fatid nodded. "I've been to other places, yes. I hitched a ride with some literal space pirates once. You don't exactly hear of those every day, so I was curious. I got to see a few different planets." He snorted. "If you ever get the chance to travel off planet, really consider it. It's pretty cool."

“It sounds pretty out of this world.” She said with a smile. She then frowned saying, “even hearing me say that made me want to throw up.” She joked.

Fatid snorted at her feeble joke. "Yeah, it definitely made me want to." He then looked as the waiter arrived to take their order, the Metalsaur's shiny hide glinting a little with every movement. After their order was taken, Fatid said "The best hunters take jobs that, well, take them anywhere. Earth isn't the only place with monsters obviously, and you seem like you'd like to travel."

“I would love to see it all, but I’m not skilled enough yet.” She said, “maybe one day though.”

Fatid nodded at that. "I'm sure you'll gain experience, even if you don't kill much." He then snorted. "And who knows, you might find someone to "buddy up" with on your travels, huh?"

Cally smiled, “well I already have you. But I assume you mean a boyfriend... or a mate as you’d call it.”

Fatid tilted his head. "A mated pair is the equivalent of a married couple in most cases, more or less. The concept of boyfriends and girlfriends does not exist to monsters. Well, at least not most of the wild ones like me. There's the bond and then there's the mating, if the pair so chooses."

“The bonding part could be unofficial dating. I mean, that’s how humans really bond until they decide to really pair off.” She said, “but I guess we are a lot more complicated than you monsters. A lot less picky in most cases too.”

Post by Smokey Feather on Aug 20, 2019 19:55:51 GMT -5
Fatid nodded in agreement about the dating. He then snorted. "Oh, we're not that picky. At least not most of the ones who live in modern places. At the party tonight, most of the monsters there would screw you if you asked, with or without involving alcohol." He then huffed. "Carlo is right on one thing. Monsters like rare things. That's why Legend tier monsters get more of the "attention" than a species. Monsters are attracted to most things that are different than themselves whether they'll admit it or not."

Cally nodded in thought, “so they can screw me, but not become mates with me?” She seemed slightly relieved at that. “Wait, are you saying I’ll be sought after during the party?” She didn’t mind it, but she probably wouldn’t say no if she was drunk so she’d have to keep her drinking in the downlow.

Fatid grunted. "Of course a monster can mate with you. I just said it's like marriage. It's a mutual decision though, of course. It's the same as if two humans decided to get married, minus the ceremony or whatever." Fatid then shrugged. "Well, you won't be swamped or anything, but don't run off with the first drunk you see. And most like a drunk will approach you, or some variant. Sober monsters are more sheepish on even considering such things. In public anyway."

Cally nodded, “got it. And I will also be looking out for someone that you’d like as well.” She said, “maybe try talking around more than usual. And no burping or farting.” she giggled, “if I must I’ll take the brunt of that.”

Fatid grumbled. "Fine. Just don't toss any random monsters at me though." He then looked as their food was brought over. "And also, though I assume there is also a variant of this rule at human parties, get your own drinks and food. Don't accept anything from anyone. You're more likely to get struck by natural lightning than get drugged at Galante's parties, but you never know."

“Trust me I know. My mother has nailed that into my brain since I first started going into parties.” She then looked at her food for a moment, “or if anyone hands you a drink you can also ask them to take a sip of it too, and if they refuse then you put it down.” She said, “you can’t take any chances.”

Fatid shrugged. "At least not with strangers, though even then a tiny part of you should be alert." They weren't exactly best friends yet, but he didn't want her getting used or anything. "Bottom line is let's just not be stupid or desparate."

Cally smiled a little in amusement, “as you can see I’m in no rush to meet someone.” If she had been she would have had a boyfriend already.

Fatid smiled a little. "Well, hopefully you find someone, be it at the party or whenever in the future. You seem like a good person. Good people deserve to be happy." He then huffed. "That's why I'll beat the shit out of anyone who tries anything on you." Anything suspicious anyway. "Well, when I can. I can't be stepping in for everything. Not that I would."

Cally smiled a little before saying, “I appreciate it.” She then frowned a little, “I’ll need the extra muscle. Today was too close.” She said. She wouldn’t say it, but it scared her.

Fatid nodded a little. "I'll definitely stick around, until you find someone. I wouldn't want to intrude. Or third wheel." He chuckled. "Hey, maybe if we both find someone relatively soon we can travel the world together or something. Or worlds, who knows."

Cally nodded happily. She then tilted her head, “but won’t you have little versions of you or the mrs to take care of along the way?” She asked, wondering if it would be a hassle.

Fatid snorted "Won't you?" He then shrugged. "That's if she will even want kids. You never know. Hopefully we can travel a little before we consider something like kids." He then looked at Cally. "Do you even want any?"
|

Post by forestpaw on Aug 21, 2019 12:18:12 GMT -5
“True.” Cally said with a shrug. She then nodded, “Yeah. One or two would be nice.” She said, “and you want kids too right? That’s the whole point of mating with someone right? I mean, you don’t grow that tree for nothing. Do you?”
