☼ Third Circle - Action ☼

[redheadlion]

[Hey, the lion's out again! He's in the market, and seems to be looking for more bedding. He's gotten a good helping of blankets, that he's carrying on his back as he goes, but eventually he starts pulling out clothes. He sets a sweater on the ground to look at it, and laughs a little.]

That's strange, why's it shaped like that?

[Maybe Simba

[Action]

[odastillhatesme]

It's for humans.

[Just breezing on past, doing his own shopping for his still too-bare room. He's met a talking mouse, a talking wolf, and his doctor is a reindeer. Sanji's more surprised he's never seen Simba until now]

The longer parts are what we put our arms through. [A glance at him] Probably won't do you much good.

[redheadlion]

Hah, probably not. Seems like it'd be warm, though.

[He sort of clumsily tosses it onto the pile it was previously (and neatly) stacked before, using his mouth to move it before moving on.]

I think just a few more of these blanket things, and I'll be off of the cold stone. Man, never thought I'd want to avoid sleeping on something cool.

[odastillhatesme]

[Sanji watches on, increasingly amused by Simba's attempts.]

Winter not your thing, huh?

[redheadlion]

[Simba laughs, grinning.]

Let's put it this way: I didn't even know there was such a thing as winter.

[odastillhatesme]

Maaah, then this must be one hell of a shitty surprise. [His eyes flicker towards a pile further down the isle - blankets, look at that - and he pauses to grab one, holding it up for the lion to see]

This meet your tastes? [Simple cotton, but he guesses Simba isn't going to care about aesthetics here]

[redheadlion]

Looks warm enough, yeah. Thanks.

Name's Simba.

[odastillhatesme]

Sanji. [He drapes the blanket over Simba's back]

Where are you staying?

[redheadlion]

A human girl named Toph made me a den, actually. It's between a couple of the houses.

[odastillhatesme]

Just the type of kindness I'd expect from Toph-chan~! [enthusiasm get.] You're a pretty lucky... [He stops, and peers at Simba]

You're a lion, right? [It's hard to tell sometimes when half the animals from your world are ten times the size of you]

[redheadlion]

Yeah, that's right. Nice to see that you even know what I am.

[odastillhatesme]

To be honest, I'm more used to seeing a lion in fish-form... or ship-form.

[redheadlion]

In... what form?

[odastillhatesme]

[Assuming Simba is familiar with fish...] A ship. It's-- [He nearly says "It's a large boat", only to catch the words on his tongue. No, that's not gonna help]

It's a-- Well, it's man-made, first off. Usually made of wood. [He creates a bowl-like shape with his hands] And it floats on the water. That's how we humans cross the sea.

[redheadlion]

...Cross the sea? Man... I haven't even seen the sea.

[odastillhatesme]

My entire world's made up of sea. Most of us grow up seeing it every damn day of our lives.

[redheadlion]

Wow. There's just stories of it. We're pretty far away - I think that it'd take seasons to reach it.
