[pomo]

Pray tell, young man. Are there any walking tricks you have?

[ Dancing?? ]

[hiban]

[ the apple is making a point but also like— ]

Would you consider something like fancy feet work a trick?

[pomo]

Would you?

[ APPLe sighs, but he does twirl around midair and flips too. The collar cloth nearly smacks Lavi's face. Don't worry about it. ]

[hiban]

[ even if it does smack him in the face, it's totally fair. ]

Depends. If it's a skill that not many people can perform.

[ though, just to join apple with the flip, he'll do one too! a backflip!! ]

[pomo]

You are very clearly not a part of that group.

[ The ones who can't. ]

Please finish your soup before you do any more physically strenuous activities.

[ scold scold scold ]

[hiban]

[ ah. right.

he might have forgotten all about that part. ]

Right...

[ back to the soup eating he goes. ]

[pomo]

[ This APPLe frets--he truly cares, after all. Amethyst bonding. He calms a bit though, watching Lavi eat the soup. ]

This APPLe supposes he should be thankful that you are not as reckless as the Captain...

[hiban]

[ :catgun:

but he'll be happily eating the soup and will be polite enough to pause his eating to ask the question. ]

Captain? Like a military captain or a ship captain?

[pomo]

Ah, yes. The pirate ship captain--Regulus.

[ Surprise about yesterday's rumor validation. Yippee. ]

She's always passionate about music, specifically rock 'n roll... also loved scooters or anything motorcycle-adjacent and music festivals. She's quite the bundle of energy.

[ APPLe seems a little more animated, swaying in the air as he talks about her. ]

[hiban]

[ how fortunate for the apple to have lavi learn all of this about him because there's no way that it's going to be forgotten now. ]

The brightest star in the heart of Leo. [ he'll mumble it into the soup. ] A lively captain for a boldly named ship.

[ and even though it would be so easy to point out the demeanor change, lavi would like to go down this path instead. ]

I wouldn't have thought that you'd be a member of a pirate crew. Professor is full of surprising secrets.

[pomo]

This APPLe must say that he's quite enigmatic, but most of it comes from being an apple.

[ Yeah, he knows. He'll admit it. But also-- ]

She named the ship after me, actually. She... likes naming many things after me. There has been APPLe the ship, APPLe II the ship, and APPLe the blimp.

[hiban]

[ me failing reading comprehension... what if i didn't tag during a meeting. (it wasn't important). but it doesn't change much does it? a woman named after such a bright star; to live up to such a name must be something.

and well. ]

APPLe the blimp...

[ wait. ]

APPLe II the ship? What happened to APPLe the ship?

[pomo]

Ah, it was destroyed by shadow entities.

[ He'll just leave it at that. ]

[hiban]

Shadow entities?

[ context?? ]

[pomo]

Yes, we were being chased by them...

[ APPLe's voice trails off for a moment. There's no expression on an apple, but the vibes here are uncertainty. ]

... This APPLe is not sure why that happened.

[hiban]

[ ah. lavi has a guess as it what might have happened with that bit of information. how unfortunate... ]

Well, we know that your Captain and you survived whatever happened at the very least.

[ UNLESS HE'S TALKING TO A DEAD APPLE?? ]

[pomo]

Oh, yes. This APPLe was in the middle of trying to set the Captain free from a cavern jail before coming here.

[ Yeah ]

[hiban]

A cavern jail.

[ ....i mean. sure why not? ]

Being a pirate must be very rough.

[pomo]

Yes, we are chased by the officials more often than nothing. Her free spirit is unbreakable... though I must note that the cavern jail was because she ate beans.

[hiban]

Just beans? Or were these some sort of special or rare beans?

[ this story also reminds him of someone but he can't put a name to the face or anything like it. it's an uncomfy feeling so he's just going to focus on apple; thank you for understanding. ]

[pomo]

[ mood, lavi ]

Yes. The island that we arrived at had a peculiar set of rules for their cultures and one was that they could not consume beans.

[hiban]

A culture that doesn't allow for the consumption of beans...

[ he finds this genuinely interesting. ]

I've heard of cultures that restrict and forbid their people from eating certain animals or meat entirely, but beans is new to me. Do you know why beans of all things?

[pomo]

This APPLe has no clue and we weren't very keen on finding out, nor did we have the opportunity to do so.

[ His captain was jailed.... ]

[hiban]

[ oh. ]

Being a pirate really is rough—nothing like the stories.

[pomo]

Being a pirate is rough, yes. But a part of it comes from her recklessness...

[ He pointedly looks at Lavi even though he doesn't have a face. ]
