Jess: I’m just saying, I won’t hesitate to bite you, rat.

Jason: be nice!

Jess: I’ll nip his nose if he tries shit.

Jess: (nearly face plants) oi, I could’ve been taking a shower.

Rig; (walks out to look for their room)

Mikki: (pops their head out) I- I saw them eat it…

Jason: see? I have an alibi!

Rig; right…. I’ll see you all later then, yeah?

England: mmhm, see ya.

Jason: bye bye!

Rig; (small chuckle) the little lad’s alright, no harm done… anyone I should know I’m neighboring with?

England; (shrugs) hell if I know, but I know where the rooms at, ya need help?

Rig; (shakes his head) I’m sure I’ll manage on my own.

Rig: Oh…thank you?
England: (snickers) shouldn’t we get the las settled in? They still have their duffel bag on them.
Rig; mm— I’m staying?
Jason: hopefully! There’s plenty of room,

Jason: I’m human, in a way, my father works with magic so I’m kind of a result of that… Mikki here is a breed of animal, not sure if they’re human, and Marcos is human!

England: (rolls his eyes) I have voices in my head. They work like a weird spidey-sense.

Rig: right…

Rig; (firm nod)

Jason: (sticks his head out from the other room) no need to hide your differences! No one’s going to judge you! Don’t mind Marcos… they’re a bit harsh.

England: (scoff) harsh is one way to put it.

Rig: I’m not…hungry,

England: (snicker) more like they’re not hungry for humane food. (Walks into the room with papers in hand)

Rig: (tightens their Jaw) …

Jason: mkaay, come on Mikki, (takes her hand and gently guides her to the kitchen)

Rig: oh, no thank you. I’m….vegan…?

Jason: (small yelp) Jay!— Why’d you— (glances at Rig) …you’re kidding..

Rig; (stands there awkwardly)

Rig; (hums) I doubt it. I’m not much of a…people person, I intended to mind my business, actually.

Mikki: (holds the plush close) ….

Rig: oh, I always had a small fascination with otters.

Mikki: (they’d look at it with hidden admiration) but I didn’t- didn’t get uhm.. anything for you…

Yay

Mikki: (shakes head) I-I tho-ught i uhm, saw them up-upstairs… I-I ran into someone and I uhm- ran away…

Rig: gotcha.. I’ll keep a look out, (adjusts the duffel bag) is… (they’d glance at Mikki) the kid accompanied?

Mikki: (shakes head) a-all by myself mister…bu-but there is—is uncle Will and uncle odis…

Rig: ah, alright little lad.

Rig; that’s…news. it’s a pleasure to meet you, Jay. Call me Rig.. preferably.

Rig; oh!— uh.. that’s…sweet,
