He did!

[Her hands go from waving to patting at happy pink cheeks instead, pleased in the simplest way to have given someone a gift they ended up liking.]

It's really different than what we're used to, but he said it was comfortable and warm... thanks again for helping me with it!

I'm glad! [Eagle still has his own sweater and realizes he should probably wear it more often instead of carefully keeping it wrapped up where it couldn't get damaged.]

And you're welcome, it's great to hear that he liked it. I knew he would. [Since Konoha had picked it out for him and everything.]

Ehe, you were right.

[This is why you should just trust new people you meet.]

It was really handy when it snowed so much all of a sudden before. You didn't have any trouble keeping warm, did you?

[Did eagles dislike the cold???]

[He was right! It seldom happens but he’s happy when he is, nonetheless.]

I didn’t, since eagles like me usually nest in colder areas than this. And I once had a barbecue in the snow so being here was kind of like that. I’m glad the sweater kept you two warm though.

You had a barbecue in the snow? Like... a barbecue for bird people?

It was actually Polar Bear’s barbecue garden party. I was just helping out with Lion.

[While the guests that were near the fire refused to go anywhere and all the others huddled for whatever warmth they could get. Who knew that having a garden party in subzero temperatures was a bad idea??

Not Polar Bear, that’s for sure.]

What's a Polar Bear... ?

[She knows what a lion is! ... Well, she thinks she does.]

A polar bear is a kind of bear that lives in the Arctic. It's got really warm, white fur. [And likes holding garden parties in the freezing cold all in the name of hospitality.]

A white bear... ? I heard they existed, but I've never seen one...

[No, he is not talking about an albino bear, Konoha... Still-]

I saw a white deer once! Just for a minute, though, then it disappeared...

A white deer? Here?

[Huh... maybe there’s an albino deer here somewhere? That wouldn’t surprise him... after all, it’d survive better here than it ever could in a forest.]

Oh, no, not here, back in my world... Sorry, that was confusing!

[But wait-]

I have met a deer man here, though! A red deer!

Oh, no, that's fine! You don't have to apologize. [Though he is a tiny, tiny, tiny bit disappointed that perhaps he'd never be able to meet a white deer?

BUT STILL!]

A red deer, huh. Where?

On the network! He made a "post", and I replied!

The net...work?

That's what they call this thing we're "on" when we talk or type to the other Moonblessed.

I-I see! So this is the network.... [Thank goodness she knows more about this than he does!

He pauses then laughs, a little embarrassed.]

You really have been here longer than I have, huh?

Ehe, yeah... I still don’t get a lot of stuff, I’m not going to lie... but I’ve managed to pick up some of it! I can always try and help if you have a question or something...

[How is she so nice!!!]

Ah. Well...

[There is something he's wanted help with. And she did say he could ask?]

Do you know of anyone hiring? For a job? I-I don't really have that many qualifications but I'm willing to learn!

A job? Sure, I might know- What kind of things can you already do?

[No matter how many times he's done this, it's still so embarrassing.]

W-Well, I used to be a guardian back home and I had some experience doing a lot of odd jobs. I've babysat aye-ayes, planned parties, um, made crafts? And I can cook fish!

[okay... she can see how it might be difficult to get a job that way. Hmmm, but maybe-]

A guardian like... a bodyguard?

K-Kind of? [Except he didn't protect one person but rather a whole region.]

[SUSPICIOUS]

What... did you guard?

Um... a country? I also watched the prince sometimes. [Wait, why is she suspicious?!]

A prince? If you’ve got experience guarding princes I bet you could get tons of work!

[isnt that... super good on a resume???]
