"Well, Kade," Archon countered, "you don't know that many beasts around here. Of course you won't know them at first, but, as is the case with any situation, like the workplace or the recreational community... You get to know everyone. All mice except for one monitor lizard, Mokwa, one skunk, Dengoro, and... Oh, one squirrel, Ellich."

*Kade took a couple of invoulentary steps back at the revalation that one of the beasts they wanted him to live with as a monitor lizard.* "A... a monitor lizard?"
*Dantin hastily replied.* "Don't worry, he's one of the good kind. He wouldn't hurt anybeast... well, not on purpose anyways..." *He couldn't help but think of Linx as he said that.*

"He's benign," Archon supplied. "There's no need to worry about him. Heck, you stay out of his bed, that guy won't even look at you with an angry face." Apparently, Kade was experiencing the shock and horror that everyone seemed to get whenever someone spoke of a monitor lizard's presence. The mouse was practically backed up against the corner already. It would be a good idea to change the subject. "Do you want to see the house, get an idea of what you're getting into? Everyone's out right now, we'll have it all to ourselves."

*To Kade, that might not have sounded exactly as Archon wanted it to. -All to ourselves... well, I know I can trust Dantin there at least...- He just nodded dumbly to Archon.*
*Dantin took a couple of steps forward and stepped beside Kade, pushing him forward a little to get him moving.* "C'mon, lets go look at the house!"

Archon turned and headed to the barracks doors, expecting the two mice behind him to follow. Apparently, Kade didn't trust the whole paws-off deal yet. After a year of no contact, perhaps? "It's between here and the marketplace, so it's a really short walk. C'mon."

*Kade's first couple of steps faltered a bit but he eventually started walking normal, silent and confused. He wasn't real sure why they wanted him to move in.* "Why do you want me moving in?"
*Dantin was going to respond and started too.* "Well, I'm wanting to move in but... er..." *He didn't really want to tell Kade that Dantin didn't really trust him to be by himself. He was a bit stuck on how to explain it and hoped Archon would jump in to help out.*

Archon intervened... Again. He seemed to have to do that a lot for Dantin, around Kade, at any rate. "It'd be kind of bad if you weren't with anyone at all. I mean, Dantin's the only guy you're even good friends with right now, right? What would it be like for you if he were out of the picture? Imagine how lonely you'd be!" He pushed open one of the doors and held it so for the others to pass through.

*Kade nodded, it was true that Dantin was his only good friend and that he would be pretty lonely if he was gone.* "True..." *-Well, as long as nobeast tries to do anything...- It wouldn't be too bad.*
*Dantin patted Kade on the back as they passed through the open door.* "Yeah, I mean we've become great friends, I'd feel pretty bad to just up and leave you."

"And like I said... Good, fresh, free food. Have you ever seen me in a kitchen, Kade?" Archon headed out towards the gates, unbuttoning his coat to let it make him look all imposing again.

*Kade looked at Archon for a few seconds before responding.* "I haven't hardly seen you at all. None on the cooking part."
*Dantin looked surprisedly at Archon.* "You cook? Heck, even I didn't know that!" *And truly he had no idea that Archon could cook, -I bet it's good too...-*

"I did a lot of cooking in my old house," Archon explained. "And I mean a lot. I've gotten really good at it, even though I haven't done a lot over the last four years... It's like learning to loose a bow. You don't forget, ever." Perhaps he could make them a little sample while they were there... Only the best technology and the best cooks made it into that kitchen.

*Dantin nodded at Archon's statement.* "Well, I don't have any first hand experience with a bow so I wouldn't know. Besides, we've got Linx's weapons now so those are pretty much obsolete, aren't they?" *Kade was just following along in silence. This made Dantin a little sad that Kade still wasn't great at inserting himself into conversations.*

"I know, but everyone still knows how to use a bow, repeaters haven't been reigning for a year! ...Repeaters are even easier to remember how to do. Kade, have you used a repeating weapon before?" It was a good analogy to Archon's feelings about cooking... And it was a good way to converse, too.

*Kade was spacing yet again, he seemed to do that alot lately but was brought back to reality at the question aimed at him.* "What? Oh, uh, yeah. Three or four days ago Linx showed me how to use a repeater rifle. Bad experience with that..."

"Let me guess... The recoil. Nobody can ever absorb the recoil on their first try." Archon grinned to nobody as he walked out the gates. This was just too good. At least they were approaching the house, finally...
