do you think the reason why Cacucu is bonding with Wrio because Wrio looks like Ifa (they quite literally have the same face/eye design that resting bish face )
hands cacucu a machine gun
❝ Sorry bro, but I don't think those talons can hold that gun. I appreciate it though. We at the Flower-Feather Clan have tried to arm Qucusaurs before in the past, but they have their own natural ways to defend themselves so there's no need to give these dudes guns. ❞
“Seriously! Seriously!” Cacucu squawks out.
❝ Qucusaurs, like Cacucu here, are able to blast fire balls from their mouths. Cacucu, however, can only fire one every four hours or he'll have wicked heartburn. ❞
“Nut-uh! No way, bro! The heck are you on about?”
❝ Sorry, he's a bit … touchy about that. ❞
Small kids will look up at you and with no prompting be like “umdidjyou no dat um one time my mommy and me um we um we we we went to da zoo and when I was dere um last summer we went to da zoo and didjyou no what was dere? A koala I seen those on Wild Krats.”
Like wow you have no idea how conversation works but boy are you giving it your all - I will stand here and look mildly surprised the whole time and when you’re done I’ll say “really?” And you will nod and look so victorious.
Ifa has had a few patients who fear sitting on his examination table or fear his needles. He's cared for pediatric cases before, but this ... he blinks at the grown man with verdant eyes, taken back by his visceral reaction to Ifa drawing close for an examination.
Is this not a martial arts tournament? How can someone compete in a festival for violence and test of skill yet are afraid of treating physicians?
❝ Uh … ❞ Ifa sounds unsure. ❝ Would you like me to ? ❞
Ifa has no issue with counting down if that calms his patient. He rather insure the man is not facing a dire situation and needs more than simple topical cure for his gash. It doesn't matter the age or career of the patient. What matter is Ifa is taking care of them to the best of his ability. If he has to count, he'll count.
The cowboy's gloved hands take hold of the man's forearm again and he examines the gash, counting down out loud, and finding no discoloration to the skin aside for the abrasion. Ifa imagines a weapon with some kind of toxin to continue its sting and slow the inflicted is the likely cause, but nothing life threatening or incurable.
❝ No, all honored guests of the Xianzhou are cared for under Xianzhou hospitality and I'm paid by the commission to treat so ... no worries there, dude. ❞
Ifa prepared a tray to clean the wound and dress it ahead of time and he begins his wound care, looking up to the man with green eyes and explaining to him what he's doing currently, if that helps him to settle down as well. It doesn't take long and Ifa smiles when he finishes.
❝ There, all done. You did great. ❞ Ifa returns the tray to a countertop and brings back a small plate of freshly baked cookies. This was suppose to be his lunch with coffee, but he doesn't mind sharing.
❝ I don't have any lollipops, but I made these this morning. New recipe I'm trying too, so let me know how it taste. ❞
@ifadoc : ❛ hold still. this might sting a little. ❜ an assortment of dialogue prompts.
With some force, he yanks his arm out of the healer's grasp, whining for what is flimsy reasoning. ❝ Whoa, whoa, whoa, Doc ! Aren't you supposed to promise me like a lollipop or something then count down ? Tell me it's aaaallll gonna be fine ? ❞ Sampo has never been afraid of needles, has even found some pleasure in points much sharper, but given this new face, he can't help but mess around a little ( even if it paints him in a rather childish light. )
It detracts from the clamor the Fool had been pulled out of. Details under wraps but based on the sequence of events && his own stake in the game, Sampo can surmise that this is mostly related to the Elation's covert presence upon the ship. Those that didn't take to kindly to his existence had inflicted not just a gash in skin but some sort of sting. A poison or something like that, though he's sure it wouldn't actually kill him even if he hadn't been sat down by Ifa. However, it would've looked a lot more suspicious had he refused treatment.
After a drawn out sigh, he offers his arm back, nodding towards the syringe. ❝ How much is this going cost me ? ❞
Treasure chest opened! Just kidding it's a mimicutie!
“Oh wow! No way bro!” Cacucu fluffs his feathers. Damn right he's a cutie!
do you ever think about how cacucu was an outlier among qucusaurus for his different appearance and was shunned, bullied, and pecked at, and do you think about also how ororon is 'the weirdo' of the masters of the night wind clan, shunned and abandoned, used in some ritual that didn't work and abandoned again like ... these are Ifa's friends, his bros, the shunned weirdos i just-
Sesame, who transcends time and space, is here to viciously and vigorously slap this new person into the depths of oblivion
❝ Woaaaaah there, lil guy. What's wrong? Hey now, it's alright. No need to throw those paws 'round here. ❞
The vet remains standing still, a hand on his hip, and he watches the feline swipe at him with ferocity and agitation. Ifa blinks his teal eyes, feeling no need to scold, correct, or stop the cat. He allows Sesame to get it out of his system before taking a knee and meeting Sesame on the same level.
❝ Hmmm, I see. Gotta show ‘em you ain’t one to mess with, huh? Always gotta fend for yourself. That's alright. Here, I'm no bad guy, alright? ❞ Ifa offers a feline puree stick to Sesame. Cats love to lick those.
