Romeo looked up again and nodded, "When things go bad you always have to try and keep your spirits up sir," he said politely with a smile. Piccolo wandered over the table and started sniffing at the mans hand in interest.
Romeo watched to make sure that Piccolo behaved himself, when the man lowered his head down the weasel started sniffing at his ear. "His name is Piccolo," Romeo said quietly.
Cue ticklish squirming as Shoutarou straightens back up with a chuckle. "Well, it's nice to meet you both," he says, reaching to scritch at the weasel's chin. "Looks like he got lucky and didn't get stuck with a collar," Shoutarou says, looking over at the boy. They shared an orange-colored collar, looks like.
"Nice to meet you too," Romeo tugged at his collar, it wasn't exactly uncomfertable it was just strange because he couldn't take it off, he petted Piccolo again and nodded. "Pleased to meet you mister Shoutarou, I'm Romeo!"
Romeo smiled again and nodded, but then his smile faded and he looked sad, because it was sad that Shoutarou's cat hadn't been rescued as well, "Do you miss him?"
Shoutarou leans on an elbow, thinking. He does miss the cat, yeah. Mick was close to Philip, and since they let the cat stay in the agency, it was pretty much all of theirs to a degree.
Romeo nodded his smile fading as well, "Me too," he sighed sadly and went back to poking at his porridge. "But at least if the world ended..." His voice caught a bit because it was a very scary thing to think about, "Then they will all be with Alfredo in heaven," he wished that he could see them again though.
Romeo blinked, he did not see any other reason why they would be brought here and the letter had said that the world had been destroyed. He blinked at the man, "Lots of worlds? Is everyone from different worlds?" He thought about it and realised it made sense, after all Molly had told him about dinosaurs and they definitly didn't exist in Romeo's world.
"Oh," Romeo nodded, that sounded confusing he had always thought there was just one world. "I hope that they explain what's going on properly," Romeo was quiet as he poked at his porridge again.
He didn't say anything, just grinned a little, then went back to writing.

Shoutarou's all too familiar with putting up a front for others.

Romeo, eh? Hmm. "You've got Piccolo, my roommate has a rabbit..." He rubs his chin. "Strange that Ph--er, my cat didn't come along as well."

"I don't want to believe it, that that that happened. It couldn't have. How could so many worlds be destroyed at once? It seems impossible..."

He adjusts his hat a bit. "All I know is that the information session in a few days will be very interesting."
