No need to smoke them out. They keep trying to destroy the planet every time we look away for a few seconds.

They do know they live on the planet, correct?

They don't live on the planet.

Eh?

They live...

[gestures. up?]

You come from a different world than me, right? Most of us here are all from different worlds. These people live...ah, separate from that. Their worlds were destroyed a long time ago. The spaces they live in are more like pocket dimensions than worlds.

... they... live in... pockets?

I'm not the best person to explain it. But, uhm, you know how we could go into your subconscious and it was like a physical space while we were there...? A pocket dimension is a bit like that, but not inside of someone's head.

Ah. I... think I understand?

... that's not fair, though. Ugh, unbothered because it doesn't affect them...

Yeah. It pisses me off. They act like gods deciding our fates when they can be killed just like any of us.

But, I'm taking care of it.

Can you from here?

No. I'm very stressed and would like to go home. I have a lot of things to do.

( small nod. )

That makes both of us. Well... I would miss the people here, but still...

...Mm. I'd miss you guys. But I know we all have things to do back home. It's not like we can help that.

It's unfortunately true. Finding our way home is the best solution, but if we could find a way to still be connected somehow... well, that would be ideal.

( exhales. smiles! )

Thank you, for helping me learn more about myself.

[sits up, smiling, and ruffles his hair]

Anytime. I'm always here to help with whatever you need. We can add "find a way to keep in touch when we go home" to the list while we're at it.

Mehhh. ( he withstands the ruffling... but he does not look pleased! ) Ruffle my hair again and you'll be sentenced to brushing my hair every morning...!

Oh no, what a terrible punishment.

[ruffles his hair again (but lighter this time, since Perci doesn't like it)]

That's it! I hope you like brushing as much hair as I am tall!

Don't regret it if I do a bad job~

[this is a bluff, he will spend three hours combing his hair if he has to]

Thankfully there is no one in the pasture I care about looking good in front of.

[snorts]

Somehow, that feels like a scathing review of the pasture as a whole.

Well, the only people I have an interest in have already seen me at my worst, there's no coming back from that.

[scoots out from under his wing to go find a hairbrush so he can attempt to clean up Perci's hair]

They've also seen you at your best. And if you like someone it's important to see the best and worst parts.

Mmm I don't think I've seen any bad parts yet.

( he will sit still for brushing... )

[he will brush it until it is silky smooth, careful to get out the worst of the knots and not yank on his hair as he goes.]

None at all? But so many of us do stupid stuff here all the time.
