Gij tilted his head, wondering if he heard him right. “You died?”
Gij tilted his head, wondering if he heard him right. “You died?”
Murdock hummed in agreement. "Yes, I died in a lab accident many years ago. And I'm here still," he said with a shrug
Gij blinked. “But that’s not how death works, Murdock.”
Murdock chuckled a bit. "Let's just say I'm not entirely human either, hm?"
Gij’s face broke out in a grin. “You’re not?”
"Obviously. How else would I be alive after a lab incident like an explosion?" Murdock chuckled
Gij rolled his eyes and took a bite of his food, only to discover that it was gone. Huh.
“What are you, then? If you don’t mind me asking.”
"I'm what's called a ryftwalker. We're sort of like angels, in a sense. But we're more militia, since we do the dirty work while the actual angels are saved for when things go wrong upstairs," Murdock answered
Gij set his plate down. “That sounds cool. Except the work part. I don’t know…” He grinned sheepishly at himself.
"Yeah. Ryftwalkers are special though. Even though we have short lifespans because of our work, we were created with a purpose because we were thought to be worth keeping around," Murdock said with a small smile
Gij smiled back. “How old are you? You don’t look a day over eighteen!”
Kai laughed loudly at that. "I get that a lot. I was around 22 when I died, but I'm actually in my 200's," he answered with a grin
Gij grinned, not at all reprimanded by the response. “Really? Hey, I’m almost three hundred!”
"Well hey, look at that. Old buddies," Kai chuckled
Gij chuckled too and grinned. “Nice and old. Just how it should be.”
Murdock hummed in agreement. "It's nice to see other people who have been around for a while. I usually don't see much of my species, considering we're all over the place
Gij nodded. “I can only imagine, man. But hey, now we’ve found each other!”
"Yeah," Murdock chuckled, a small, warm smile on his face
Gij looked back down at the plate, only to find a dragon curled up on the still-warm surface.
“Sobex! We have him too.”
"Yeah, we've got the cutie, too," Murdock chuckled before outstretching a hand. He wanted to see if Sobex would let him pet him
Sobex made a faint noise when they moved around them and moved his head up. He snuffled at Murdock’s hand, looking at him expectantly.
Murdock took that as an invitation to very gently, very carefully pet Sobex's little head. "Aww," he murmured to himself
Sobex shut his eyes when he was pet, still curled up on the warm plate. He gave a soft yap, telling Murdock to pet behind his horns. Gij laughed softly and translated.
Murdock nodded and began gently petting Sobex's horns. He felt blessed, really, that the little pup was letting him do that
Sobex’s dark horns were small and grainy. Certainly not healthy. He yapped happily, crawling over Gij’s lap to Murdock’s.
