⠀⠀ “were y'all having fun without me ? ” ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ Isn't too early to have dinner already, mister merchant ? ” ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ w-what ? why do you mean ? I would never .ᐟ ” ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ Good point. Did you already try the Sleepless Earl's Immortals Delight ? ” ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ hahaha aaahh. . . Look at the time .ᐟ it's getting late, did you already eat ? ” She is not trying to change the subject, not at all. ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ it's soooo good, I guarantee you. Want me to show you where to get it ? ” ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ Watermelons ? Mhm, don't mind if I do .ᐟ ” ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ Of course .ᐟ with me around, nobody would think of messing with you. ” Puffing her chest, she's all pride. “ Follow me, to the Central Starskiff we go. ” ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ Oh, so there's where all of you disappeared to. Why didn't you invite me ? ” ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

⠀⠀ “ A galaxy ranger ? ” Blinks. It's the first time she hears something like that. ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ . . . ” ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ Sooo, how is being your stay on the Luofu ? ” Arms behind her back, she leads them down the street towards The Sleepless Earl. ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ . . . I'll do so. ” Or maybe not. She isn't sure if it is hygienic to crush watermelons with the thighs. ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “ Oh, well, I'll see if I have the time after my morning patrol. ” ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍
