Dahut is going to single-handedly save his fucking malnourished body by feeding him constantly. They are just stupid memories, but he looks better than he did.]
[NOT LIKE THIS HE'S ALREADY DIED TWICE BEATS HIM UP
This is so funny though he's out here putting on some weight and growing his luscious locks out. Viktor's living his best Helly Belly life and good for him! Anyway, the soup is beef wine and barley, very French, smells very tasty. He holds the bowl out! There's a spoon resting inside, ready for use. It's probably a little bit hot to hold, but nothing too horrible.]
Of course! Where were you heading, anyway? Can I come with you?
[He burns his hands off and drops the soup on Dahut and burns Dahut and then they suffer third degree burns for hours here in a PC where no one can help before they perish and then they walk out of the scrap yard naked and embarrassed.
It's fine, he will hold this soup.]
I thought about sitting in the garden for a little while.
[HELP. HIM SEEING INTO THE FUTURE THATS SO RAVEN STYLE AND JUST WITNESSING THIS TRAGIC DEATH AND GOING I HAVE TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING (LAUNCHES INTO WACKY HIJINKS FOR THE NEXT 20 MINUTES)
Except the wacky hijinks in this case is just going into the flesh gardens to sit among the wisteria and sinew. Dahut will move over toward a patch of grass instead of a table, so he can flop down into it like a boneless starfish. Do starfish have bones?]
[I THOUGHT THAT SAID LAUNCHES INTO WACKY HUNKS AND I WAS LIKE OH SO NOW HE'S CASSANDRA AND ALSO DOING PORN TO YOU????
He should really sit at a table, especially with this bowl of hot soup, but Aki wants the future to be, so he carefully sits down in the patch of grass with Dahut because it's nice and different. The bowl gets placed in front of him.]
Listen though, it's like a picnic! Except for the fact that they don't have a blanket, and that sometimes fleshy bits are hanging from the trees around them, and they'll start hearing whispers if they stay in one place for too long. That's all fine, it's fine.
He stretches a little like a lazy cat.]
It really kept happening... [WHY.] I don't want to go back there. I hope Monsieur Sidon will choose a different place to have meetings in the future.
[Maybe this was the worst place to come try to relax with good soup and company, honestly. Good thing he's too haunted already to worry about being haunted more.]
I can mention it to him if you want. I think he probably thought it was a comfortable place with food for the rest of us, so...
[HELP. Dahut also just valiantly ignores the flesh and the whispers. It's fine. So many places here are fleshy and he has been here for so fucking long he hardly even registers it.]
Oh, no, that's fine! If he brings it up again, I'll just mention it. [Or he won't because it's funnier to keep getting locked in the applebees.] I guess it's better than a lot of the other places, anyway... A cafe meeting might be nice, though! Or even one here! At least we can pretend we're outside, instead of still being stuck in the same belly we've been stuck in for over a month.
[While Dahut ignores the horrors of this otherwise very nice scape, Viktor quietly eats some of the soup. He really is going to be a changed man...... Well, maybe he won't actually since his real body is probably still shriveled up garbage.
All this healthy work for nothing...]
It wouldn't hurt for us to change our meeting places around every once in a while. I'm sure Sidon would prefer if we all took a big swim for him actually.
[NOT SAD MAN ONCE AGAIN!!!! HE WILL FIND VIKTOR AND KEEP FEEDING HIM SOUP!!!!! GET BETTER IDIOD.
He reaches over to gently patpat whatever part of him is closest and not rusty, though, laughing.]
Oh, you know Monsieur Sidon! If he were to laugh at all, it'd be good-natured, and he'd help you out right away. He'd give you even better pointers than me!
[YOU DON'T WANNA BE HERE EITHER RIGHT NOW HONESTLY]
Not bad, right? If you worked your muscles a little more in the water without having to worry about strain and pain, you could probably build it up to the point where working out on land doesn't hurt as much, too.

He lifts an arm and twists a bit around to look.]
Dahut?
no subject
Anyway, Dahut straightens back up. He has a bowl in his hands!]
I brought soup, if you want some.
no subject

...Sure. Thank you.

It's fine, he will hold this soup.]
I thought about sitting in the garden for a little while.
no subject
Oh! That sounds wonderful, let's go!
[Now he is taking the lead... GARDEN TIME. Fleshy garden.]
no subject
Dahut takes the lead, and Viktor follows as carefully as he can with this hot soup so the future lore truly doesn't come to fruition.
They can find some nice flesh to sit in and enjoy the fleshy scenery.]
no subject
Except the wacky hijinks in this case is just going into the flesh gardens to sit among the wisteria and sinew. Dahut will move over toward a patch of grass instead of a table, so he can flop down into it like a boneless starfish. Do starfish have bones?]
Aaah... So much better than the Applebees!

Getting locked in a few times wasn't the best.

[Except he would fucking drown, he can't swim.]
no subject
Oh, I wouldn't mind that! And you can show off your hard work with learning how to float and kick!
[He won't let Viktor drown on his watch, probably!]
no subject
This makes him laugh a bit.]
I'm sure even baby Zora swim better than I do ten times over. He would probably laugh at me.
no subject

Oh, you know Monsieur Sidon! If he were to laugh at all, it'd be good-natured, and he'd help you out right away. He'd give you even better pointers than me!
no subject
He makes it look so easy. I can't imagine being able to swim that gracefully without sinking straight to the bottom.
no subject
You'll get there someday! Strength training in the water is much easier than on land, since there's no gravitational resistant weighing you down.
no subject
It did take the pressure off my back... I was able to do more movement than I usually can when I'm out of the water.
[He really did discover hydrotherapy.....]
no subject
Not bad, right? If you worked your muscles a little more in the water without having to worry about strain and pain, you could probably build it up to the point where working out on land doesn't hurt as much, too.
no subject
I... might try it more often actually.
[THE FACT HE GETS WHISKED FUCKING AWAY BEFORE HE CAN TRY. Well, I guess they go to a fucking water planet, so.]
Thank you.
no subject
Mm, of course! I didn't get to show you all that much just yet, but it's fine - we can just use the pools and learn a little more bit by bit!
[Leisurely, because they still have like three weeks left in their tour, right! Right!!!!]
no subject
That's okay. A little bit at a time is fine. We can try more later.
[They have, like, three weeks of tour left. And also he will definitely still be here for that.]
no subject
Yay! Oh, but never swim after you eat, okay? It'll weigh your tummy down like a rock and you'll sink right to the bottom!
[THAT ISN'T HOW IT WORKS.]
