[superdrowningskills]

Yes. Was there something you needed of me?

[croceamors]

I was simply thinking that we could go together. We'd get more done.

[superdrowningskills]

[Alucard stares at the slightly-off smelling man a moment, appraising him.]

...If you wish. Be warned, I intend to hunt while we are out, and I often eat my prey where it falls.

[croceamors]

I won't mind, don't worry about that.

[Fucks available for giving: 0]

What do you usually hunt out on the Skyway?

[superdrowningskills]

...Most everything I come across.

[And then he starts on his way. If Blue Hair is going to follow, he'll follow.]

[croceamors]

[Don't worry, he's right behind, unshoulder the rifle he has strapped to his back.]

Seems like a varied diet.

[superdrowningskills]

It is.

[Such a wonderful conversationalist, this one.]

[croceamors]

Don't they have sufficient food at the Bastion for you?

[He might be trying to keep tabs on just what it is they need, especially if they actually lose the Bastion for good.]

[superdrowningskills]

I could survive on the food in the Bastion, but my kind is intended to primarily live on fresh blood.

[And eating people is a major social faux pas.]

[croceamors]

[Ah. So that's the problem. Saix is fairly certain he can recall there being similar creatures in Vatheon, but he never really interacted with them.]

[As he dwells over the problem, he keeps silent, allowing Alucard the time to search out some prey without any interruptions.]

[superdrowningskills]

[It takes a while before Alucard finally catches the scent of a Pecker. Once he has the trail though, it's not long before the unfortunate bird is being made a meal of.

He'd honestly not checked to see if Saix is still following him.]

[croceamors]

[He's going to get a reminder as Saix speaks up, tone having changed honestly not at all despite the scene.]

How many times do you need to feed?

[superdrowningskills]

[Alucard waits until he's finished chewing to answer.]

Preferably twice or more, but once would be enough to sustain me for quite some time if need be. In dire circumstances I could simply sleep until a time food might be better available.

[croceamors]

I see. You did the same back in your World?

[superdrowningskills]

For the most part. The final span of time at the end required I scavenge food from fallen enemies along with whatever could be found scattered about the castle.

"Hmm?" Calem glanced over to the blue haired stranger. It took him a moment to reply because he was honestly trying to determine whether the man's hair was bedhead or purposely spiked. It seemed too symmetrical to be bedhead...

"Ah yes! I am," he nodded at last, Gogoat's pokeball in hand and ready to be released. How could he venture forth without his noble steed? "I enjoy going out to see if I find anything of interest. It is usually nothing but junk though."

[croceamors]

Calem, can you not?

This wasn't the first time someone had stared at his hair, but usually it was the color. Still, it was enough that Saix opted to just dismiss the bit of staring. There were more important things to focus on anyway. "I'd like to go with you. We've had trouble when people have gone out on their own before, so I'd rather be safe than sorry."

[chosenbylife]

He can't not. It's impossible for him. And the color is no biggie! Blue is a natural color where he's from after all.

"Ah yes, I suppose you're right. It's easy to run into trouble out there," he nodded in agreement, "But don't worry. With me as your escort you'll probably be quite safe."

Clearly that's what this man was worried about, right?

[croceamors]

Yeah, that's definitely it and he's definitely not raising an eyebrow about it. Saix doesn't say anything about it, however, and just gestures to the Skyway.

"Shall we, then?"

[chosenbylife]

"It's a plan!" he nodded, releasing his Gogoat from his ball. And then paused and looked his new companion over, "You are somewhat large... I'm not quite certain we could both fit..."

He was used to transporting slightly tinier riders alongside himself.

[croceamors]

"It's fine." Saix gave a shake of his head and waved his hand dismissively. "I'll keep up just fine on my feet. I keep in shape." Besides, he wasn't exactly sure if he'd feel comfortable riding a goat along a teenage boy.
