Toaci bobbed his head softly and turned to lean into bulls' pets.
Kera bumped into keigo while looking for toaci “ hey kego” she said softly and innocently.
Keigo scoffed “ first off, don't fucking call me that anymore. Second stop calling for my bird, hell come to you when he damn well feels like it”
Bull smiled a bit.
“Alright. You’re a cool bird, Toaci,”he said quietly.
Amelia stayed back as Keigo and Kera spoke, keeping an eye on them just in case. She looked around, trying to guess where Toaci might have gone.
He could be with one of others, unless he had a hiding place she didn’t know about yet. Though, Amelia figured it would probably be best to wait until Kera moved on before looking for him.
Kera didn't seem to take well to keigos warning. Storming off and slamming her door.
Keigo didn't know why but he had the urge to go after her, he fought it with about everything he had
Amelia watched Kera storm off, rolling her eyes when she slammed her door. She then glanced at Keigo, wanting to be sure he was alright.
Bull heard the door slam and snorted. He was certain that had been Kera.
“Hey, Kei. You still out there, and got a moment?”Bull called.
“ yea, I'm comin “ he said before heading to bulls room.
Bull gently picked up Toaci, cradling him against his chest so he could stand and open the door. He let Keigo in the room, then shut the door so Kera wasn’t likely to overhear anything.
“I lied to her about having Toaci with me. He’s been hanging out, building that little, I guess fort, over there. She came knocking and he ran over to me and hid. Kinda obviously, I wasn’t in the mood for her shit, so I lied,”Bull mentioned, pointing at Toaci and the fort as he spoke.
Amelia watched Keigo go into Bull’s room, wondering if Bull had lied about having Toaci. The bird liked hanging out with him, and Bull is a great guard, so it’s feasible.
Keigo laughed “ don't worry about it, it's not like it's a sin punishable by death. Fuck for I care say you me to her face. It's only karma”
Bull snickered.
“Ah, I ain’t worried about it. I just don’t want to deal with her shit right now. I’ve still got papers to sort,”he replied.
He then started to laugh.
“And Karma will bite her in the ass eventually. Maybe even literally,”he added, pointing at Toaci.
“ from what I've heard he's already taken that liberty “ he said and scratched at toacis head. “ good birdy..” he said softly
Bull laughed.
“That’s fucking funny!”
“ riigght “ keigo taunted
“Ah, don’t fucking remind me that I’ve still got to write the will for my poor ass,”Bull said, laughing.
Toaci nipped at bulls hand playfully
Bull snickered at Toaci.
“I see I’ll have to work on that will,”Bull said, chuckling.
“ butt catcher! Butt snatcher!” toaci trilled happily and settled deeper into bull's grip.
Keigo gave a small laugh right and opened bulls door right as kera came back out “fuuuck..”
Bull laughed at Toaci’s words, then watched Keigo. His eyes narrowed at Keigo’s reaction and he glanced out to see Kera. He snorted.
Amelia, who leaned against the wall nearby, waiting for Keigo to emerge, turned at his reaction. She watched Kera like a hawk, but otherwise didn’t move or react.
Kera’s eyes watched Amelia for a moment before looking to keigo. “ tell your little drummer boy that if he stays up on my tablet anymore ima start looking up porn for him.” she said and headed to the mess hall.
Keigo sat there for a minute, utterly stunned by her words and it wasn't the part about Jonathan watching her every move it was the fact that he didn't have to relay that back to him.
Amelia watched Kera go, seeming just as stunned as Keigo. She then glanced at Jonathan’s room with concern.
Bull narrowed his eyes at Kera’s words, shaking his head. He had wondered if something like this would happen.
“Ain’t no fucking way. Beta-Man’s a good fucking hacker, and he hides himself pretty goddamn good too. If he’s watching her, the only way she would know is if she’s a hacker as well,”he hissed.
As Bull spoke, Jonathan opened his door, looking out at the others with a baffled expression. He shook his head, leaning against the doorframe as he fell into deep thought.
( I'm a send kera after Jonathan's throat :3) “ if kera is.. She never told me..” keigo spoke softly. He looked as he heard Jonathan for open “ you okay bud?” He asked softly to the smallest of them
Toaci left bull to go play with Edgar, eventually snuggling up to him instead.
(Lol. I was honestly wondering if that would happen, considering what’s gone on so far)
Jonathan looked at Keigo, nodding.
“Bull said it all. There’s no fucking way she would have known if I was watching her, unless she’s a hacker as well, and a good one too. Now, I’ll admit that I’m not the best hacker around, but I’m pretty fucking good at it. I… I just don’t get it,”he said, bewildered.
Amelia looked toward the galley, her eyes narrowed suspiciously. What else was Kera hiding?
First, trading with a shady guy in the market. Now this. She didn’t like where this was headed.
Bull sighed,”I hate it when my gut feelings are right. Fucking shady ass bitch.”
‘Toaci!”Edgar happily greeted.
He eagerly played with Toaci, and was just as content to snuggle.
Keigo gave a small laugh As he watched toaci “ so, we need a way to keep her away from Jonathan.” He said sternly “ don’t worry about me because I can handle myself, right now Jonathan is her target”
Jonathan sighed.
“Fucking wonderful,”he said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
Bull looked out at Jonathan.
“Going after the fucking kid…”he muttered, breathing deeply to contain his anger.
“She’s not afraid of me, but she won’t be able to get past me if I’m guarding the door, or Beta-Man himself,”he said.
Amelia considered what could work.
“She seems to avoid Boris. Maybe you could hang out with him more often, until she backs off,”she said, turning to Jonathan.
He shrugged.
“I can also minimize my activity on the computers. I don’t think she’ll be able to hack into me, because I’ve been working on my system for years, and I actually had an old hacker friend of mine try to hack into it. He couldn’t fucking do it. But, minimizing my activity would help avoid anything weird happening there.”
Bull snorted,”That shit was fucking funny, and that kid was more a computer nerd than ol’ Beta-Man here.”
Jonathan nodded, chuckling a bit.
“That, and Edgar knows to fetch someone if something’s wrong,”he added.
Amelia nodded,“Also, I think it’s obvious by now that we all look out for each other, including you Keigo.”
“Yeah. Been like that for years, even when Shithead and Shank were around. They were assholes, but they didn’t let anyone fuck with any of us,”Bull commented.
“ I know I know. But I wanna see what she does if he gets me completely alone. Far as her knowledge goes is I'm just getting hearsay from you guys. I'm going to ‘send you out on a mission tomorrow, stay near the ship and stay alert for toaci. He’ll call war if something goes wrong..” keigo explained.
Amelia looked at Keigo with concern.
“Are you sure?”she asked.
“Ah, let him, Amelia. Kei’s a grown man. If he wants to challenge her, why not?”Bull replied.
“Fair warning, Boris won’t like that plan one bit,”Jonathan forewarned.
“Yeah, Beta-Man’s actually got a point there. Boris is going to have a fit when he realizes what you’re planning,”Bull commented.
“ that's fine. Let him worry for right now. “ He said and pulled Amelia closer, wrapping his arms from behind her as they talked. Keigo usually did this to calm her more than him.
