Hm. I did let someone down on a promise I made. That has been weighing on me... [Keeping Luke safe was something he'd assured Jun, and things sure didn't go according to plan. He was physically stable, but that boy would never be the same again. And Lycaon's track record with being unable to uphold his oaths is. A thing.] But I assure you I'm--

Ahem. Rabbit-like creature. [He WILL correct that.] And no, sir. That was just my leg, fortunately. This was from the first instance of velociraptors that ambushed us. My leg had technical issues when it was attacking and it sunk its teeth into my arm. So I simply froze the saliva in its mouth to cement itself to me so my comrade could dispose of it. It is...not as elegant as freezing ice cubes in a drink on command.

...I truly realize how outlandish this all sounds.

[Sorry, he honestly thinks this is reassuring.]

I do have some scars on my back from the second instance, and some minor scrapes from the pack of hyenas. A colleague of mine has suggested I take time off to recover, but should I be needed, this will not affect my performance.

[Truly 'dog gets attacked and still wags its tail' energy.]

You did? [And for a moment, Zulius' obnoxious outward demeanour lessens. Genuine concern flits across his expression as he folds his arms, his long ears pinning back on his head.] Do you wanna talk about it? You can come over and have some tea- the real kind! I'm a great listener if you need it. Door's always open, Sweetie.

[ He snorts at the correction.]

Okay, okay rabbit-like creature. And OMG what??? Like the DINOSAURS??? You got chewed on by dinosaurs?!! I mean, super clever on the fighting tactic there but also maybe don't use our own arms to do it with?? Maybe?? Let's not give Mama Zu a heart attack here! You need your arms!

[ Honey PLEASE. Please why are you like this. ]

UH? Yeah okay so you are gonna take some time off to rest and heal??? Like, OMG?? Honey? I love you but oh my god. Just take some paid time off, okay? I want you to be healed and rested more than ANYthing!

[Zulius's gentle demeanor always get him.] I would very much like the tea, and the advice. In so many ways you seem more worldly than I am.

And yes, the dinosaurs. We suffered a few nature based calamities as well, but the wildlife posed the most danger. [His eyes go back to his arms, an apologetic smile escaping.] I admit I am a bit...how do you say. Melee focused. It's something I'm going to work on after this learning experience. [He needs to do more than just freeze ice, or coat his arms in it.] I will also double my efforts at the gym.

[THANK YOU ZU. HE PRACTICALLY NEEDS TO BE TOLD TO USE IT.]

Then... I will use my PTO. [Everyone in this chat just witnessed something akin to Haley's Comet, I hope you know.] Thank you for your kindness, Sir Zulius.

I will also use that time to see if I can find a language pack online for creatures from the late Cretaceous period. I had thought my practice with Humphrey made me sufficient in amphibious and reptilian creatures, but I am clearly lacking. [He apparently didn't understand the Movie(tm) dinosaurs and is taking this personally.]

That's because I am so wise Lycaon! People do NOT appreciate me enough for the WIDE range of knowledge I have. But it's okay. I gotchu!

[ Hmmmmm it sounds like a terrible time all round, honestly. Zulius is deeply glad he is not someone who plays board games. ]

That's a big yikes-aroonie, Sweetie! I think the learning experience is maybe to try avoid being bitten by dinosaurs! But how about before you do all your gym and training, you make sure you rest. That's the PTO rules, I know because I made them. You gotta take some time to relax first- I super promise that it will not kill you!

[ Because he knows, oh he KNOWS, that this man will keep working himself into unconsciousness if he has half a chance. ]

Good boy! And you are welcome! I look after my people! [ Even if that entails strong arming them into resting. ] Soooooo what I'm hearing from that is that you wanna brush up on your dinosaurs? You can always ask Ed! He punched a dinosaur once.

[He punched a man in a Barney costume, it's not the same thing, but Zulius is gonna let Lycaon learn that the fun way! ]

I believe it, sir. Once my leg 'heals' I will come see you.

[D-Don't call him out like that. He's already been walking around the house despite everything.]

You're correct. I could not understand their speech as it was an ancient dialect. I'm sure there must be something out there. ...But if the Captian has knowledge, I'll have to ask him.

[He's. Not sure how much exposure to dinosaurs Edward's had. But he's lived longer than him so who knows? This is what happens when he has BLIND FAITH IN HIS BOSS.]

You better! I'm looking forward to ut!!!

[He will call you out because he loves you and he knows the sort of bullshit you'll do, Lycaon! He knows. ]

I mane as far as I knew they just made like, dinosaur sounds in the movies? But if you figure you can understand them then go for it, sweetie. There's one of the ones with a bunch of horns in the zoo you can practise on!

[This is what happens when you trust the duplicitous zebra! ]

!!

I...had forgotten about that. [Oh fuck oh god no this is bad.]

While they had different geographical locations, I do believe they were in the Cretaceous period. It's possible the dialects will be different, but our friend at the zoo would be an excellent practice partner.

[GROUND HIM NOW.]

[Wee wooo wee woo. Zulius doesn't see the danger. He is a FOOL.]

Oooooh I didn't know that! You're so smart! I only really know from, like, Jurassic Park and that movie where they were trying to find that valley!

[The Land Before Time. He means The Land Before Time. ]

But yeah! You can chat to that little guy! Brush up on your dino lingo.

[Guys, no. ]
