[fetchthestick]

[Click. Some fumbling of stubby puppy fingers. Snuffling as he checks it out with his nose.]

H-hello? I don't - know where I am... um...

[Whimper.]

[Although worse has happened to them, but the kid sounds scared enough without mentioning that.]

[fetchthestick]

[He is. Good call, Kevas.]

[pimp_hat]

[fetchthestick]

[fetchthestick]

[This makes him giggle. The noise is infectiously cute.]

I'm Thom.

... Whaz' your name, Mister?

[pimp_hat]

[He's trying to not let it infect him, but he's failing.]

Hey dere Dom. My name be Kevas.

[fetchthestick]

[He laughs playfully at the way Kevas' accent changes his name.]

Thank you Mister Kevas!

[pimp_hat]

It just be Kevas, and no problem liddle mon.

Watch joorself out dere, not everyone here be as nice as me.

[fetchthestick]

Yeah. Mister Kage warned me.

... If you're not a pet, you're a Mister. Right?

[Welcome to Thom's eternal confusion with the words "Mister" and "Master."]

[pimp_hat]

[Normally Kage is one of the people he warns about but Kevas can't see him taking any interest in some little kid.]

I ain't a pet, I ain't a mastah, and I definitely ain't no mistah. I just be Kevas.

[fetchthestick]

Um. 'Kay.

[This does not fit. Does that mean... he's like... feral? One of those the Zenrenthi would catch and turn into pets? He's met a few, they're never completely safe... unless they were caught young...

He sounds nice enough though.]

Thanks-just-Kevas.

[pimp_hat]

[Eye twitch.

Maybe he should have just stuck with Mister Kevas.]

No problem liddle mon. Joo take care of joorself, and don't be afraid to ask fuh sometin'.

[fetchthestick]

Okay I will! Thanks M- um, just Kevas!!

[Why does everyone around here not want to be called Mister AUGH]
