"...Y'know you're allowed to say somethin' else than 'Oh beans' right."
What even is this team he's ended up in the middle of. "Like, yanno, 'Holy shitballs' 'r summin."
A sigh, clawed hand resting on the injury he sustained earlier this week.
"Still-- Ain't this the admin's bathroom? I would've kicked ya out o' the team if I found ya in my private room back then."
" Im notnsure biteing them will make my pockets any bigger....plus I dont know where they have been.."
She didnt even register the tsil at first.
"Like why cant i put my hand in my pocket! Sure its an excuse to use a REALLY cute Buneary backpack but like I wanna use a pocket too!..."

"OH BEANS! You have a fish tail! Neat!"
@punkbites // Continued;
"Funny? I ain't no clownfish now, am I?"
He doesn't like this guy's attitude right now. Cheekfins flare up a little at the accusatory point in his direction, but he doesn't make much more of a move other than that.
"...Might take a bit."
Not a lie. He heals incredibly slow. Most merfolk do.
"I'll pay y'all back somehow fer this. Promise." That might have come out wrong. "In a positive way, I mean."
Archie lets out a soft gasp at the push, staring in bewilderment for a split second, before his grin reappears.
So they were doing this.
Thankfully he's healing up just fine, so he has less of an issue shifting his tail into legs. Still, the cheekfins and sharp teeth remain. Was it because he thought it looked cool? Or was it because it was still a bit of an effort to shift back to a human form fully? Doesn't matter much.
Still... He's not gonna be forced down so easily. He refuses to give up without a fight.
So he gently reaches for Guzma's sides, before suddenly and roughly trying to roll over on the bed so he comes out on top.
Well fuck. He got you there bug boy.
"Shut the fuck--!", he starts, any complaints muffled in the umpteenth kiss. And hairpull.
…okay. We're gonna sit here and let the fish manhandle us for much longer, Guzma? Absolutely fucking not. Still keeping contact and not really caring if that would lead to a much harsher grip on either his throat or hair ( whatever, man, it's not like he doesn't like it! ), obe of Guzma's hands pressed harshly on the other's chest, pushing him down - taking control of the situation.
"..."
"Ya suck at bein' nice, huh."
His cheek fins droop a bit. Hm. Now this is just akward. "Ya hate me that much?" Guess he's used to it. Part of it was probably deserved, and yet...
"'Kay, hear me out: if I give ya one free punch will ya stop bein' so fuckin', iunno. Tensed up?"
"Uhu, sure."
Oh, great. Smalltalk. His fucking favorite.
He starts dangling backwards, looking around, keeping in a sigh. Oh my goooood this is annoying.
His leg is bouncing, besties.
"Got somethin' else to say, or."
Being kind is so hard.
"I can prove it."
But will he get kicked out...
"Nah, not really."
swinging the bat at the beedrill's nest.
Ah. He's the owner. Good to know.
"Cool women?" Interesting. "An' I prefer the term merfolk."
While he'd rather shout, it seems unwise to do so right now. Because of his injuries, but also because he'd rather not be kicked out all hurt without a place to stay. So he'd try his best to be civil.
"...The name's Archie."
No need to lie. It'd probably bite him in the ass, anyway. Archie attempts to sit up a little to see the other better, but quickly abandons the idea when yep, that hurts like a motherfucker.
"An' yerself?"
"I'm the owner of this shithole!!!!!"
He never paid a single dime to be the de-facto owner, but so far nobody tried to evict them so we're good.
"And the nice lady usually brings home cool women, not. Fish men."
A scoff, a quick shrug. Whatever, he doesn't feel like starting a yelling match with the backup singer of the Mermaid Melody. Still doesn't mean he'll act any less aggressive for the time being. Betta fish kinda behavior, to stay in theme with this bullshit.
"Is princess Ariel gonna introduce himself, or..?"
"Well, yeah, I've seen a fair bi' o' it all. But I still haven't seen e'rythin'."
The ocean was vast, after all. And deep, too. The depths were rather scary... Even for him.
"Ya really wanna go down there?"
"The ocean is really pretty! Now that I live near it I want to be able to explore it"
She seemed to drift off in thought a .oment bwfore looking back at him.
" I bet youve explored a ton of it!"
"Wonder how the final round's gonna go..."
