Please tell me there's a pet store or anything like that in this stupid place.

I need a cage.

Or at least a muzzle for something with way too many damn teeth.

[ Surprise! Sevika did manage to hatch the egg she was handed. Less surprise, what hatched has a mean streak. ]

[ Look, she's not exactly happy with the stove situation, but stop-gaps exist for a reason. It's just a relief to know she won't have to trek out to the junkyard to find something suitable or, worse, rely on Talis to make a cage that may or may not contain fifty surprise lasers.

That said, she won't move to take the crate just yet, but she does give him a faint nod when he steps away from it, acknowledging that, yeah, cool, she gets it.

Regarding Vander and Silco, though... ]

Doubtful. Vander's gone soft. I wouldn't underestimate him, but he isn't in the business of causing problems anymore. If he targets anyone, it'll only be me or Silco.

[ What that implies, she won't say. Damian seems sharp. He can figure it out. ]

Which leaves Silco, who I can manage. That's essentially been my job for the past seven years, so no real change there.

( so, vander is who damian should approach to learn about the recent additions making a significant amount of noise. him, or the talis idiot. going soft doesn't necessarily mean anything substantial, but if this woman is being truthful (and she has no real reason to lie, does she?) then a man who has required a babysitter for the last seven years isn't one damian feels like quarreling with. he already does that frequently with his own father, who also requires a babysitter. he doubts it's for the same or even similar reasons: bruce wayne requires being watched after because if he isn't, he buries himself in the shadows he's been working so hard to defeat. he's a special case. )

Understood.

( the names get categorized, shoved together in a neat little box of "same worlders" - or close enough to recognize one another. they're not the only group here who are familiar with one another - just among the noisier ones. given her managing both vander and silco when they started bickering with each other like toddlers on a public forum - damian will remember that this "SV" is likely who he should call upon if they start getting too rowdy. )

Thank you for the information. I'll keep it in mind.

[ascarylady]

Sure.

[ And that's the end of that. Sevika steps away from the table and then over to the crate, snagging it by the handle and picking it up with no real trouble. ]

Thanks for the crate, kid. Now if you'll excuse me, I have something really stupid to go do.

[ Which, surprisingly, doesn't involve the poro. She'll drop the crate off on the way to the aforementioned stupid thing, but it will, inevitably, be real damn stupid. On that note, she turns to head out. ]
