Can't say I have. Ya can put yers here, should air dry fast 'nuff.

[Goes to set the bowl down and wash his hands]

Looks like you're in for a first then.

[ Taking his seat, plopping the other half of the clay onto the stand to start. ]

[ You would think being able to mold metal like clay would translate into ability in molding clay itself. You would be wrong. ]

What's the difference?

Literally nothing. Well. Nothing other than a decent number of people would be very jealous if they found out.

[Offers out a piece of cheese on a cracker with with some jam]

I’m pretty popular, you know.

[ Leaning over for the bite, minding his teeth. ]

I've gotten the impression here an' there. 'Preciate ya spendin' some o' yer limited time with lil ol' me.

[Teefies. Mcfucking touches the tips of his teeth.]

Shouldn’t I be saying that too? I feel like you’re a pretty popular guy here.

[ Laughing around his mouth of JJ fingies, biting down for a moment before pulling off. ]

T'be honest, I know lots o' folks, sure, but I ain't been doin' all that much socializin'. Don't got much reason ta here.

I guess it's just Aria instincts then. It feels like there's always reasons to socialize.

Maybe ya jus' like people.

Mmmmm....I don't know about that. I'm not that nice.

Ya got some other reason ta then?

[Shrugs, snacking on some fruit from the board]

Being likable is part of my job. And my image is important. So, it's not like I can just forget about my image on a boat full of mostly strangers.

That's true, but it ain't like ya gotta go outta yer way ta maintain an image. An' yer out there throwin' parties left an' right fer no reason.

[Offers up a piece of fruit]

No reason? I think I throw parties for very good reasons.

[ Leaning in for it. ]

Yeah? What were yer reasons?

[Presses it to his lips then]

Help lift the mood? Distract people with something positive? With the jamboree, I was trying to fulfill every request needed to get the karaoke place for Gray... And, of course, I wanted to boost Siren's public opinion in case there was a performance where being popular could save my Family.

[ Taking the bite, chewing it over while considering. ]

Ain't tryin' ta lift a mood an' distract people with something nice a nice thing ta do? Ulterior motives or not.

Depends on who you ask, I guess. Some people would feel that way. And others might weigh the ulterior motives more heavily.

Hah, sounds more complicated than I'd think 'bout it.

Maybe ya ain't that nice. But ya sure do nice things sometimes. An' there's folks out there who appreciate it.

I like that about you.

[Considering the veggies before going for fruit again]

And I appreciate it.

[ He saw that, giving him a nudge with his elbow. ]

Jus' remember ta play as hard as ya work, y'hear? If yer gonna wear yerself out, do it fer a good cause or a fun one.

I’m playing right now, aren’t I?

Oh, we're not playin' yet.

[ Reaching up with clay-covered fingers to try and tap JJ's nose. ]

Now we're playin'.

[Shoves cheese in his mouth]

[ HE IS CACKLING WITH THIS MOUTHFUL OF CHEESE, waggling fingers at him. ]
