Oooooh, I completely get you. I mostly sit without much clothing on and the shades down...and I still feel way too hot and sweaty. You may interpret that as you wish

How so?

Wow, damn. That sounds like today has been pretty rough on you. Edit: I feel like putting my trio somewhere, just for fun xD

Is it just me or has today just been pretty slow?

He nods understandingly, glad to hear that there has not been any issues for the young human male from the academy, especially considering the very conflictual differences in culture, upbringing and other vitual sociological terms at play in mixing humans with monsters. He gives a soft smile as Ruben seems to acknowlege and value his input, despite it being mostly practical more so than technical and whatnot. Still, if this helps Ruben find his way to solve his block, all the better. While they are talking, a bell rings and Rufus looks up."I will get you, you meal. Just one moment, please!", he simply states and walks into the kitchen. Then he reemerges with a plate of potatoe salad, nice and cool, and with some spears with meat and fried vegetables on it, accompanied by a nice mug of cold cider."I hope this meal finds you well Mr. Ruben", Rufus says, eager to hear the opinion of the young student. "So, tell me: has anything fun or interesting happened for you at the academy? Any juicy rumors or gossip?", he asks, turning to his own personal interest.

Rufus seats himself heavily beside the young student, as he pulls out his laptop and boots it up. Having only been here a few years, something as simple as this does intrigue and fascinate him greatly."Ohhh you are? How lovely. Are you enjoying being enrolled there? I hope you haven't had any trouble? I know I am a pretty open fella, but I am aware that not all monsters are...well..as hospitable as myself. I think the teachers might like it - depending on who you ask", he says, having no idea who are there as he never went himself. He takes a look at the overall plans, though he is not exactly an expert of any area of this, but since he offered his input, he intends to do just that. He thinks it over and rubs his chin."Perhaps you need to get out there and do some sight seeing, to figure out what feels best in your mind, rather than having a model on a screen. I think I would be confused how to set up my tavern if I grew up with images rather then real deal...you know what I mean mr. Ruben?", he suggests, practically telling him that reality is a better way to judge it.

Rufus looks at him a bit puzzled as he was clearly misunderstood earlier, but doesn't take it too hard, since the kid is obviously just excited and all."Mr. Ruben - it was not that I did not want tech stuff here. I was just saying that us monsters did not have that sort of thing where we came from. Have you ever been on the other side of the portal? It might be a fun field trip some day. So you go ahead and do what you need and since I am not overly busy, I can give it a look. Though you will have to excuse me if I am needed, allright buddy?", he says, not at all sounding even annoyed from the misconception.

Good evening doing well?

Not if it doesn't happen to me

I drink M A L K

Photosynthesis is just a myth spawned by the tree owner BIG SHOTS xD

Are you guys otherwise feeling good and spry tonight?

Awwww, don't overwork yourself! We can't have you breaking down

Dang. Are you okay though? o.O Many thanks, darling

i am back again after a nice and much needed nap XD

No need to worry ^^ we are quite friendly here so please let me know if I can help you out or answer any questions

Greetings to you and welcome @Rhazzel. Thank you very much for joining and please let me know if I can help you out here I hope you will come to have great fun

Rufus nods understandingly and still smiling."Ohhhh, skipping breakfast? My momsies always told me it was bad to do that! I think I have just the thing in mind", he responds back in his deep voice and then walks into the kitchen and gives the chef an order for something nice to go along with the heat outside. Luckily, he was still close enough to hear what else Ruben uttered to him."Ohh really? That would be great! I will give a free round if you bring a crowd!", he says very happily and thankful.

Julia even does the thing where she rubs his head a little bit, not rough or fast,. just tiny amount."Ohhh, thanks a bunch, kiddo! I do appreciate those who can talk to me properly and know how to act. Even within monster society, each species still act differently overall and even I am a bit different than most manticores. Even if someone call me scary...that is their loss and problem. I make time for those who earn my interest and energy", she goes on and collects the books she needs to loan. "That's cool, little dude. I only aim to have a fun time and getting fucking hammered. That is the best part of it for me - sex is just a bonus if it happens. Even then, it is not like I do it in the middle of it all. A little bit of privacy seems only fair. Oh well...nothing we need to worry about before it actually a thing, right? Anyways, kiddo...I really gotta skedaddle and all...I am late for my next nap! And you know how it goes without those, hahaha!", she says and waves to him while telling him goodbye.

The large male orc puts his hand on his tummy and his mouth forms a huge happy smile with his tusks sticking out from the lower jaw nicely. He seems very pleased with the friendly reply as well."Ohhhh, why thank you mr. Ruben. It is a shame I rarily see the younger generation come in here more often. They really are a riot and often bring a lot of good cheer and happy tidings to this here food and drink hole! Yeah, this was pretty much the standard where we monsters come from. The lack of human technology and all that. I appreciate your kind words. I do try my best to make it a place you can almost feel at home in", he explains while they make their way to the bar itself."Now, what can I get you? I will give you a free drink if you order a meal!", he says in his insanely friendly tone of voice.

For some reason, Julia quickly falls into the role of a protective big sister, at least from the way she acts and now talks to Hiro."You can take lessons from me. I give zero shits about most things and I am doing pretty well, all things considered. I don't aim for top grades, the CEO job...all that stressful crap. No no, cozy, easy and laid back...that's the name of my game, little dude! I wouldn't anyone hurt the first human I might have befriended! So let's give it our best!", she says with much vigor and enthusiasm in her voice. She shrugs lightly after hearing that and looks less than bothered really."That's fine. It was merely a suggestion, seeing it might sate your curiousity about my tail and of course monsters. You are free to change your mind of course. Some monsters get a little pushy. Not me, I don't need that to get laid if I want to!", she says and laughs.

Feel quite free to do so :3 I do love being active with them all (not at once though xD).

I have announced, more than once, that I was seeking someone to have a scene with me. Nothing bad in that whatsoever
