[ he is not scared of the bubbly sheep or the round cows, but he is wondering whether upsetting them would make him feel bad. daan has finally hit the pause button. ]
Maybe I'll leave it to the professionals.
[ they gotta have one farmer in the forty-person group. surely. one person who has touched livestock. ]

caelus leads the way to the incredibly round and friendly looking cows, sticking close beside daan but not breaking the physical touch barrier.
affection week causes a certain yearning, however, cows are taking precedence. ]
They seem okay with us so far.
[ pats one! ]
no subject
Anyway, you ever stood in front of a cow? They are terrifyingly large and Daan seems to be considering that fact now that he's face-to-face with it. ]
Thank Alll-mer they are, because if this cow chose aggression, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't survive.
[ ...A very careful pet... she just chillin', minding her own business. ]
no subject
I'll protect you if they choose violence.
[ the cow flaps her ears tenderly. no sense of immediate aggression. ]
Have you visited a ranch before?
no subject
Please don't bash them with your bat.
[ Even though it would be funny, it's like playing pinball but terribly. ]
I haven't. Where I lived before, it was a pretty large city. Would've had to go out to see a ranch, and there wasn't much reason to.
no subject
noted, though. he will use alternate means of subduing the farm animals if it becomes an issue. ]
Everything here seems a step off from what I know. The sheep look like puffergoats.
no subject
What's a puffergoat like?
[ Trying to imagine this... ]
no subject
[ he does not clarify that he knows this from their cartoon illustrations
anyway: looking at sheep thoughtfully. and milkfully. ]
no subject
[ So this doesn't read as a weird comment to make to him.
But this look from Caelus DOES. Somehow he read the word 'milkfully' in the cosmos, beamed straight into his brain, and he's frowning. ]
Are you planning something...
no subject
[ preparing his squeezing hands with small finger bend exercises ]
no subject
[ SIR? Should've just binged Dungeon Meshi and then idk brought Laios so he could encourage this wholesale. ]
Do you even know how to?
no subject
It can't be that hard.
[ we can live our dreams. it's never too late. we just ask mods in the next game to make sure there are milkable creatures. ]
no subject
would not know well enough to actually just be like no you absolutely shouldn't without coming off as some weird stranger hardass. ]
Just be careful? These animals are pretty big. Feels like if they got upset at you, you'd be a goner.
no subject
Maybe I'll leave it to the professionals.
[ they gotta have one farmer in the forty-person group. surely. one person who has touched livestock. ]
no subject
Maybe you could ask around, see who knows a thing or two about it. I think Ms. Hawke does.
no subject
[ caelus briefly shoves his face into the side of a cow.
the cow appears unaffected.
muffled, but audible, ]
And she's so nice about it.
[ the worst part ]
no subject
[ He is wondering what in the heck you guys have talked about. ]
She is pretty relaxed, all things considered.
no subject
[ he's not giving deets without nosy asking, but for free, the vibes are: oh god oh no oh god oh no ]
no subject
[ He wouldn't have asked if Caelus wasn't giving off such stressed energy. ]
...What did you say to her...
no subject
Half the questions I ask, the person they're about is dead. That's not a good ratio!
[ it will never get its phd ]
no subject
[ HELP ]
...It's not like you would've known?
[ There there... ]
no subject
Don't ask about Bethany.
no subject
Okay... I won't.
Thanks for the warning.
Anything else?
no subject
no subject
Okay, I won't...
Uh...
Anything else?
[ Will Caelus list a third one, it's very funny. ]
no subject
[ this is not actually his face he is not actually crying but it's the mood ]
