Komachi was starting to get pretty bored of Licere. Things ought to hot up again once they got airborne again, but until then - well, there wasn't that much to do. She had a lesson with Jenka planned later, but until then, she was spending her time climbing around in the rigging. It was fun in itself - like climbing trees - plus it meant sometimes people didn't notice you were there, and then you could spy on their conversations, or drop down on their shoulders.

There weren't many people on the deck today; Komachi guessed a lot of them were out in the town, if they weren't busy. So Oggie caught her attention immediately, both for being one of the few people around, and for not being someone she recognized.

He didn't look unfriendly, either. So as he left the rail and started walking right towards her, she clambered quickly down from her perch and dropped to the deck in front of him.
"Hello! Are you new? I'm Komachi!"

Sorry for the late reply! OTL

((OOC: "...or drop down on their shoulders." - *SNERK!*))

"Oh!" Big bare feet slapped the deck softly as he backpedaled a few steps in surprise. Normally, he'd not be taken so easily off-guard, but he'd let himself get too preoccupied. He glanced the deck up and down for any of his brethren - especially Jenka - to see if they'd seen that. He'd never live it down if they had - "Hyu let a little gurl get de jump on hyu?!"

Satisfied no one else had noticed, he turned a big toothy grin on the child. Though he'd not meant it that way, it was probably enough to frighten most people, though not likely Komachi who was already pretty used to having Jaegerkin around.

"Hello, Komachi! Ya, Hy am! Hy'm Oggie." He offered one large, sharply-clawed hand.

"It's okay, no-one's looking." Komachi grinned, guessing Oggie's intent as he looked around. She got the jump on a Jager? That never happened!

Still smiling happily - and totally unfazed by Oggie's expression; happy Jagers stopped being so scary once you'd seen an angry one - she reached out her own, much smaller, hand to shake his. "Are you Jenka and Dimo and Maxim's friend they went to find, then?"

Oggie made sure to be extra careful not to press too hard on the tiny hand in his, and nodded enthusiastically. "Ya! Dey're my family. Ve'z been togedder a long time. Und hyu know dem too, eh? Are hyu a friend of deirs?"

[komachibi]

"Wow, Jager-long must be really long," Komachi commented with a grin. "Yeah, I know them! Especially Jenka, she teaches me knives and stuff."

[birdsundveasels]

"Oh, yah," Oggie replied with a nod. "Over three hundred years. Dot's a long time for ennybody." At the last, he grinned broadly. "Hyu'z trainin' vith Jenka, huh? Goot, goot! She's a goot teacher. Hyu learnin' a lot?" He'd like to see what she'd learned sometime. The little ones were the ones you sometimes had to watch for the most, after all!
