[ Night time is Sascha's time. The sun is down and he can go out and about without a) blinding himself, and b) falling asleep in the middle of the street. And it's happened before, just ask Kitty.

And honestly? It's way easier for him to get on with the people late at night. He's more alert, more awake and energetic, and best of all? There's people in places like these who don't mind welcoming a stranger with a pat on the back or by holding their hand, even slinging an arm around their shoulder. It's the best planet Sascha could ever have hoped to ask for, and the moment he arrives at the very same bar Kirk happens to dwell within, he's welcomed heartily and responds in turn.

The very same guy who oh-so-recently licked a severely injured woman's blood off the floor and couldn't understand why, schmoozing it up with the locals. Totally nothing wrong about that right Kirk? ]

<sub>[ It takes Kirk a moment to recognize Sasch against the bar, though how he could forget the face of someone he had been so up close and personal with is hard to say. That whole day had been a bit of blur to be honest though, and Sascha hadn't been the worst of it.

Still, when he does recognize him, he makes it a point to come over and rest his hand on Sascha's shoulder - stern, but not threatening. ]</sub>

I hope you learned your lesson about following proper etiquette.

[ Sascha's expecting it to be a local who touches him, so unfortunately when Kirk does it he'll get an armful of vampire as he turns to just go straight for the hug...only to recognize that voice. And the tone it carries.

It's got him stiffening up pretty quick, and Kirk might get a brief flash of oh, oops from sascha before he quickly lets go. ]

.....Hiii♥

[universal_charm]

_{[ Oh, well, that was unexpected, wasn't it? He doesn't fight the hug, mostly because he's rather shocked by it, but Sasha lets go quickly so he doesn't say much about it. ]}

Uh, hi to you too. You look like you're having fun.

[pneumo]

Oh! Um...yep, hehe. [ he's not sure if he's still in trouble of if he's going to get told to leave, considering their last encounter. But he tries to appear non-threatening! ]

Just...saying hi, and stuff.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He pursed his lips, as if not sure if he should believe him or not. ]}

Does saying 'hi' include taking blood from people?

[pneumo]

Wh--no! I don't bite, I promise! I never take blood from people! [ Once it's outside of them and on the floor, however....... ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He gave him a suspicious look. ]}

So if you don't mind me asking - how exactly do you get your nutrition?

_{[ It's weird you need blood, but whatever. He just doesn't want a rash of bitten people showing up and disease spreading - it would be a mess, okay? ]}

[pneumo]

[ Disease. How rude, Kirk! Sascha is completely healthy and carries no disease whatsoever! If anything, him giving his blood to someone would just result in routine blood poisoning from incompatible types interacting. ]

Bigby shares his meat with me... Um! Frozen stuff! That he bought--and reheats. He doesn't bite people either! [ just in case that's an issue that crops up. ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ The natives might not have such pleasant reactions to whatever you are carrying that you and everyone else in the Fleet are immune to. It's one of the dangers of interstellar travel. ]}

Why would he want to bite other people?

[pneumo]

I dunno... I guess if they pet him without asking? [ He could see that happening. He's never been bitten of course, but. Bigby can be standoffish. ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ There's a pause where he presses his lips together and gives the other an odd look. ]}

Pet him? Why would... why would anyone want to pet him?

_{[ He hasn't met Bigby, Sascha, some key details are missing here. ]}

[pneumo]

[ But everyone should know Bigby! He's the greatest ever. For shame, Kirk. For shame. ]

He's a wolf♥

[universal_charm]

_{[ More blank staring. He's not getting it, not just yet. ]}

A wolf? We have a wolf on the Fleet?

Of course we do...

[pneumo]

Uh-huh! He's suuuper big too, even bigger than you. [ He and Kirk are almost the same size, but that is unimportant. ] He doesn't like to be pet a lot, but sometimes I get to scratch behind his ears♥

Wait, we have a giant wolf on the fleet? There's no way I missed that. Do our ships even accommodate things like that?

Well, I take that back, we have talking ponies, why not a wolf?
