A Morning Greeting (Kuzi & Cryox)

Sitting a top a small cobble stoned wall, Kuzi sat brushing his tail back and forth happily as he joyfully said hello or some variant of greeting to literally every single person that walked past him. He had nothing really planned today, no where to be, no where to go. It was a free day to do anything! And this was a nice sitting spot, it was comfy all things considered and a lot of people walked by here and it was always fun to try and spot out all the weird and awesome looking aliens! Like that guy with the six legs, four eyes and two mouths! People like that were weirsome! Like, weird and awesome combined.

Kuzi wasn't hoping for much, really. He just enjoyed being friendly and greeting people. There were the odd few who even turned to look his way and either wave at him, tip their hats or even say hi back! There were always the few dull people who ignored him and then the people who'd get annoyed at him for just saying a friendly hello. Which he never really understood those kinds of people. Regardless it just gave him something to do, and who knows. He's done this before and some times some people stop and end up having a proper conversation with him! He loved talking so in reality this was the best out come of the whole thing. Though just throwing out pleasant greetings was fun too.

It was actually quite fun to try and count the number of people he'd greeted too. It was kinda difficult to keep track sometimes and he must admit he lost count a few times when he tried. But there was other times where he did manage to keep track and then made a high score for him to try to beat! Why? Uh. His high score was actually two hundred and fifty six at this point, he was currently up to one hundred and ten so he was nearly half way there! Though he wasn't sure how long he was going to be out here so whether or not he'd actually try to beat his score today or not was still up for question. However this question would have to wait for a moment as he felt something nudge into his side.


"Huh?" His whole body would seem to jitter a little as the unexpected paw touched his body, turning to face the culprit of whoever had poked him. "Oh! Good morning!" Kuzi would greet the stranger cheerfully in a rather feminine voice for a male, his tone as if he'd just met up with an old friend again. It wasn't often that he got to talk to someone roughly his size, even if they were still slightly bigger than him. "How're you doing? Did you need something? I'm guessing you did if you came up onto this wall with me and decided to poke me so that was a silly question. Unless you were just curious. Are you like one of those pet cats some people have that can't actually speak or are you different? You look different! You got two tails for starters, doesn't that kinda make balancing more difficult? Tails are meant to be central and you can sway them to keep your balance but with two then it'd be like they're on each side and not really able to easily alter your center of mass, or, well. However it works, I'm not really a scientist. But pretty sure that's how tails work. Sorry, wasn't trying to make that sound rude if it did by the way. Also are those small horns? What do you use them for? Do you like, running head butt your foes? Last time I tried something like that I ended up with this scar on my forehead. It really hurt, but its a lot better now. Uh. Where was I. Were you able to speak? I just realized I never stopped talking to check." He'd smile, finally taking a rest from his continuous stream of blurting out anything and everything that came to mind.

"Oh cool! You can talk!" Kuzi would chirp excitedly when the feline replied to one of his many questions, though it would take him a little longer to think over what they had actually said to him. "I suppose that makes sense, you're used to what you've always used, huh? Like if you suddenly only had one tail as much as that's how I'm used to it, you'd then feel confused!" The pink fluff ball would nod his head and grin with his two top canines sticking out from his mouth. "I don't like to fight either, I don't like many things that require me to get down and dirty. There was just this one time where I had no other option and it didn't really end up to well for me which kinda just cemented the idea that it wasn't something I enjoyed. I prefer doing stuff like talking... Or cooking!"

Flicking his tail back and forth behind him, Kuzi would tilt his head to one side and look almost straight upwards after being asked why he was asking everything at once. "Uhh. No real reason." He'd say whimsically before throwing his gaze back down. "I just usually get maybe a wee little bit too much excited when I get the chance to talk to someone new. I dunno. I just love to talk and never know what to say or ask first so it usually just all comes flowing out at once until someone stops me! I can slow down a bit if you'd prefer though, I know not eevverryyyone is quite a fan of the way I can jabber on all the time and I understand if you want me to kick it back a notch." As much as his excitement often got the better of him, especially early on in a conversation Kuzi was always willing to quiet down a bit if the other preferred. A conversation required two people to be enjoying the talk after all! If his rambling was making the other not enjoy the talk, then there was no fun in that now, was there?

"I know exactly what you mean! Everyone is so huge, right? Well. Most people anyway, even you're bigger than me! It would make things a lot easier to fight if we could grow to as big as they do, although then it would be more difficult to get around, or hide, or squeeze into small spaces. I guess there are a few advantages to being small, makes us harder to hit in a fight, right? Though it does still kinda stink." Kuzi would agree, returning the jokingly sad face that the other had pulled. Honestly he was quite content with his size, sure there would be a lot of cool things he could do if he was bigger, but there'd also be a lot of cool things that he wouldn't be able to do anymore that he can when he was small! Like, be lazy and sit on someone's shoulder to carry him around. You know, the important things in life!

The pink fluff ball would giggle. "Hehe, I guess some people don't have as good a memory, huh? I actually don't find it that hard to remember what others are saying, though I do sometimes get stuck over what I've said myself. Which is a little odd, I guess I just kinda say it before even thinking about it and by the time I do think about it I can't remember if I've said it or not? Something like that. Though I'll try to stay more to the point for ya." He'd grin before bending his neck down to one side and scratching the back of his ear with one of his back paws. Then shaking his whole body to sort his fur out again so it wasn't all flat where he'd been scratching. "You know what really sucks though?" He'd begin suddenly with a disheartened tone. "Not having hands! Or thumbs. Or one of those tails that some people can use to pick up stuff... Or any other equivalent."

"Then when they pick you up, yoouu... Bite their hands!" Kuzi would snap his teeth suddenly enthusiastically, leaving his front fangs hanging out of his mouth as he grinned afterwards. He remembered doing that once when some random person suddenly grabbed at him, not because he thought he was under attack or anything, nor was he one who minded being picked up if he was honest. But it was just quite sudden and it was his first instinctual reaction to just nom on the guys hand, which evidently just got him forcefully thrown to the ground again. Which didn't help matters massively. "Hehe, I'm sure there are ways of getting out of that kinda situation. Ya just gotta wait for the right opportunity for them to loosen their grip a little and break out! O-or something. I dunno, it might work? Though what if they never loosen their grip... Uhh..." The pink fluff would tilt his head as he thought about it, before his grin grew larger and he simply shrugged.

"W-well. Yeah, but. Ya know, picking stuff up with your mouth kinda sucks still. Like, you can't hold some things properly, or use them properly like people with hands and thumbs can properly. Plus you can usually only hold one thing at a time in your mouth! And whilst its in your mouth then you can't talk properly cause you can't open your mouth or whatever properly or whatever your holding will fall out cause you weren't gripping it properly! Which then like, what if you have to carry something a really long way with someone else? You wouldn't be able to talk properly throughout the entire trip and that would be soooo laame!" He'd respond with a flick of his ear, probably properly overusing the word properly in his proper explanation of why holding things in your mouth was unproper. Wait uhm, unfavourable. That was it... Okay now that word was stuck in his head and didn't sound right anymore... Properly... It's like... A prop, but its early... An odd look of confusion would bestow Kuzi's face seemingly from nowhere as he thought about this properly.

Kuzi's eyes would light up at the thought of some of the bigger creatures of Junction being picked up. "Hehe, could you imagine! That'd be so funny! I bet they'd freak out loads too, yet for some reason think we'll be completely fine with it. I find that more annoying than anything, that they just presume things onto me because of who I am sometimes. I'd say I don't blame them, I dunno what small creatures may of been like back on their home world, but we're smart! We can talk, and think, and aren't just some plaything ya know?" The pink fluff would hum slightly as he carried on imagining humans being picked up by giants, or even... "Imagine if we could be super big and pick them up! Teach 'em a lesson ourselves, hehe."

The small pink creature would sit down and flick his tail around to be resting on his front paws, looking down at it with light annoyance as it bounced up and down on his paws. "Nyeh. I don't think I'd ever be able to lift up anything with this silly thing, its so thin and light, I don't know if I'd even be able to wrap it around anything tight enough to get a grip. Let alone carry it a long way like that!" Saying this, he'd attempt to wrap the tail around a small pebble that was lying on the side of the wall, hardly even getting it to budge as his tail slapped against it with no real effect. He'd begin to shrug it off and laugh, before jumping at the sudden noise inside his head. "W-woah, what? Did you just, were you, was I? Wait, who. You? What? How did you just, get in, my brain, with your words! That's not how words worked! I felt them in my brain, not in my ears, you didn't even word them. I mean, say them. I mean, what." Kuzi would scratch his face with one paw confused. "If you can put words in my brain... Can you hear the words that I say in my brain? Is that how that works. Or wait, was I just hearing things. Or going insane? Or... I, uh, should probably shut up and let you explain, huh?" He'd give up with a confused grin.

Looking at his tail with disbelief, Kuzi would bat at it with one paw a few times before letting it disappear from his sight back behind him again. "I suppose I could try, never get good at anything without trying after all! Practice makes the thing ya wanna do do the thing ya wanted it to do better. Though, I'm not sure how long it'd take, that piece of string is so weak and useless. Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it and just keep trying though!" The pink fluff would say optimistically, deciding now to stick his tongue out in return from the other doing so when he attempted and failed the initial pick up.

The pink Dreedle would tilt his head lightly at what the others reaction to his confusion entailed, his light hearted nature taking it as them joking around with him instead of just directly trying to scare him then laugh at him. "Telepathy? So it was your words in my brain and not in my ears! Good. That means I'm not insane, yet. Hehe. That a really cool power though! I bet that's really useful for both practical needs and practical jokes. I can do something pretty cool that most people can't as well!" Kuzi would states proudly with a huge grin on his face as one of his upper fangs hang out of his mouth. "Though..." He'd continue, looking around him for a moment before tilting his head downwards slightly at not being able to find anything suitable around up here on the wall. "I don't think there's anything I can do it with around here..."

With a light chrip, Kuzi would nod. "I bet it is! You could have lots of fun with a gift like that! You could even tease multiple people you don't even know without fear of being caught. Like some sort of super secret mischief ninja! Hehe, I would love to be able to do something like that where you'd have no fear of being caught. Granted what I can do can really spook people if done right, though they'd know it was me that had done it. Most of the time anyway, suppose it depends how I preformed the trick!" With a gleeful smile, Kuzi would notice a pile of wooden boxes piled up against the wall the pair were sitting on just a short walk down the wall. "Oh! Oh! Oh! That'll work! Quickly, follow me, follow me!" He'd chant excitedly as he began running down the wall towards the discarded pile of boxes, luckily it seemed they were all empty too which made this even better!

With a delicate jump accompanied by a slight flutter of his wings, Kuzi would jump on top of the pile of boxes and sit down with his beaming grin still on his face. "For my next trick! I ask a volunteer from the audience to step up onto these here boxes to ensure they are in fact real wooden boxes with no funny business going on!" The pink fluff would begin, putting on his best announcer voice impression and giggling to himself afterwards. "How about you in front row! The cat with the two tails, you'll do nicely~! Hehe."
