[ And then he heads off. About twenty or so minutes later, a shuttle from the Huntress docks at the Tourist. Shortly after, Sora will come walking out, with a Shinx following behind. Once he sees Winn, he'll get a grin and a wave. ]
[ sorry sora, this brand of silly humor is going to be in your life now. but really, it could go either way. winn bends down, and offers simba his hand - he's not sure if sniffing it like a dog is what he needs to get comfortable, but it's served him pretty well with the space pets he watched over at the hotel. ]
[Simba stares at the hand for a moment, then leaning over to sniff it. He glances back at Sora for a moment, who gives him an encouraging nod. Then Simba looks back and moves his head forward to bump his forehead against Winn's hand in a friendly manner.]
[ he takes it and instead of putting it right on turns it over in his hands, as if by staring at it really hard he could figure out how it works. man, he would love to take it apart and figure it out how it works! ] Does it work with any animal?
There's a fox over on the Windrose, would you mind trying it again with him?
[ oh god he just thinks of kara's expression if they could actually talk to officer snuggles and it's the most precious thing in the world.
he puts it on and hits the button. not feeling self conscious or weird at all as he starts to speak! ]
Uh, hi Simba? I like your name, it's really cool. It's really nice meeting you, I'm Winn. I don't...know how to talk to, well anyone really [ laughing awkwardly ] I always end up embarrassing myself so why don't I switch over to listening? That's the cool part about this -
[Not like he has anything better to do! When Winn hits the button and starts talking, Simba seems to turn his head to look up at Winn, as if he's listening to what he's saying. He even puffs out a bit proudly when Winn compliments his name. Heck yeah he has a cool name.
When he responds? It's still in Pokemon speak, but it's almost like Winn can understand what Simba's saying when he speaks]
[ sora gets an excited smile for agreeing, but the look on winn's face when he hears actual discernible words coming from simba can't really be described - his face radiates happiness and excitement, it's like he's momentarily been transform into a sun, and the nuclear reactions within him are making little joy explosions on his surface. ]
It's really nice to meet you too! [ he doesn't care that he already said that, his voice is a melody of pure bliss. this has to be nerdvana! ]
Oh my god - I have so many questions but my mind's gone blank - [ he laughs, this is too exciting, why didn't he prepare? why does he never learn to prepare a script? ] how are you?
I'm not sure if we have any, sorry. [ he's stopped eating it after a glitched sascha showed him what it feels to be it, so he's stopped keeping track. he would offer to check but he's not sure if he should - he doesn't want to cause problems between sora and simba, he knows some animals would eat all the time if they could, even when it's hurting them, much like some people. ]
[ cuz he is super not into getting electrocuted and also jim might shove him out an airlock if he messes the ship's systems (ok he's pretty sure he won't get shoved out an airlock, but jim will be pissed). ]
[ he can't really complain about that one, because electric powers could cause major havoc on a spaceship, but he just wants to be anti atroma in every issue.

Action
He's really cute. What species is he?
Action
He's a Shinx!
[Sora meanwhile digs into his pockets and pulls out what looks like a fancy big watch. Like an Apple Watch, but actually useful]
Here. Put this and hit the button on the side, and it should let you talk to him.
Action
Just, talk normally?
[ he takes it and instead of putting it right on turns it over in his hands, as if by staring at it really hard he could figure out how it works. man, he would love to take it apart and figure it out how it works! ] Does it work with any animal?
Action
[The question though, gets a shrugs] Dunno. I've never really tested it on other animals.

Oh my god - I have so many questions but my mind's gone blank - [ he laughs, this is too exciting, why didn't he prepare? why does he never learn to prepare a script? ] how are you?
Action
Good! A little hungry though!
[Sora scoffs at that with amusement]
Oh c'mon. You ate before we got here.
Action
[ that's both out of polite concern and out of genuine interest ]
Action
[Yeah probably could've guessed that one]
Action
I'm not sure if we have any, sorry. [ he's stopped eating it after a glitched sascha showed him what it feels to be it, so he's stopped keeping track. he would offer to check but he's not sure if he should - he doesn't want to cause problems between sora and simba, he knows some animals would eat all the time if they could, even when it's hurting them, much like some people. ]
Action
Awwww.
[Sora meanwhile gives a dismissive way]
Don't mind him. He's just trying to get stuff outta ya.
Action
Action
Petting's good! Behind the ears is best!
Just watch out for static. He is an Electric-type.
Action
[ cuz he is super not into getting electrocuted and also jim might shove him out an airlock if he messes the ship's systems (ok he's pretty sure he won't get shoved out an airlock, but jim will be pissed). ]
Action
Yeah, just static. Don't worry. Think he lost some of his power coming here.
Action
[ he can't really complain about that one, because electric powers could cause major havoc on a spaceship, but he just wants to be anti atroma in every issue.
he reaches a hand to rub behind his ears. ]
How's that?
Action
SO YES GOOD WINN GOOD]
