Turtle & Canary, Sunday November 9

This season called Autumn was very interesting. He'd awoken early this morning and taken his time as he walked through town, enjoying the sight of the changing colors.

Now he was settled behind the counter, writing in his journal and humming a little.

Yes, humming.

For speedy service.

He seems very cheery today.

Tully was coming in for some building supplies, but he froze at the sight of the cheery alien.

G'Kar glanced up and smiled. "Good day to you! How may I be of assistance?"

"I'm uh, here to get some building supplies." Tully said, still staring.

"Very good. We have a variety of things. Is there anything specific you require."

He noticed the staring, but is well used to it at this point.

Tully finally managed to shake off the shock and surprise but still couldn't help a few odd looks. "I need some electricians tools."

"Oh, I'm sure we have some of those."

He waved Apu over and directed him to go find what Tully needed. Or something along those lines. Apu came back with a variety of ~~moddable~~ tools.

They were what Tully had been looking for, and then some. He frowned confused at the potato, but shrugged. "That seems to be what I'm needing, thanks."

"Excellent!" He rung up ~~handwavy~~ amount. "Are you building something?"

"I'm restoring the lighthouse and the keeper's dwelling." Tully explained.

"How interesting. I've seen the lighthouse during a few walks, but haven't really investigated it too closely."

"It's gonna be really something once I get it done. Though, given that I'm at it by myself, it might be a while. If you don't mind me asking, what are you?"

"Anything worth doing is worth doing correctly," he grins.

"And I'm a Narn. I suppose you haven't seen many aliens before?"

"Not real ones. I may have seen a UFO once or twice, but I can't be sure."

"I see. Despite the wide variety of people here, there don't seem to be many that have encountered an alien race."

"I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, what with, Talking Frogs and people raised by fairies."

He grinned. "Oh you mean Robin. Nice young man. But I confess I haven't met anyone raised by fairies."

"We do have a unicorn as an employee."

Tully looked at him skeptically. "Are you messing with me?" he asked.

"Not at all."

He wouldn't 'mess' with a new customer. Don't want to scare him off. Perhaps later.

"His name is Jan. His shift is on Tuesdays, if you feel like dropping in."

"I really might have to do that." Tully said. Unicorns had never really entered into his youthful fantasies. He'd liked Cowboy and Pirate movies, not so much the Fantasy stuff. But still, Unicorn.

"And if he is there, I'll owe you an apology."

He grinned. "Unless he is feeling ill that day, I'm certain he'll be here. Then you can stop in next Sunday and I'll gloat I told you so at you."

Now, he was starting to mess with him a bit.

Tully laughed. Well the guy might look bizaare, but he seemed to be alright. "You'll have earned it."

"Oh good," he grinned. "I do look forward to seeing you next week."

Cal and a little grey tiger kitten came into the shop that day, and then returned, a moment later, with a few ribbons, and a little decorative soap shaped like a cat. Cal set the ribbons and the soap on the counter, and then, after some convincing claws against his leg, he set the kitten on the counter, too.

The kitten seemed very invested in meowing at G'Kar and getting his attention.

He looked at the kitten with interest. "How... cute." Cats didn't hold quite the same appeal for him anymore since that time he'd turned into one.

"And how may I help you?" he asked Cal.

"It's Amber," Cal offered helpfully, since he knew Amber worked here and therefor knew the guy. He nodded at the cat, whose tail was swishing back and forth as she playfully reared back to make it look like, if he wasn't careful, she was going to pounce G'Kar. Cal fished his wallet out of his back pocket, "We're buying the ribbons and the soap."

"She picked them out," he added, and she purred very proudly over her choices.

He grinned slightly. "I see. Poor Amber," he went to give her a few pets.

"Ah, yes. Ribbons. I remember them well."

And how he'd hated every minute of it.

Cal held up his hands as a gesture of involvement. "Totally not my idea," he said. "We were bored and somehow it came up. She obviously likes the idea of ribbons a lot better than I do."

"I suppose," he glanced down at her. "You're much smaller than I was."

Amber promptly reached her paws up to land on G'Kar's face.

She seemed to like doing that; it was funny.

"And she's a lot cuter than I was," Cal added. "But I try not to say that too much because it'll just go to her head."

He grinned a bit. "Oh very well. I suppose you are cute in some way."

"How long has she been like this?"

And now Amber was attempting a game, if G'Kar was still in range, a game she couldn't play with anyone else nearly as easily, one that could probably be called Paw Every Dot You Can.

"Since Thursday. I came by the ask her a question about the play, and found her like this."

He smirked and chuckled, finding it far too amusing.

"Thursday? Then she may be back to normal soon. One can hope at least."

"I don't know," Cal said, slipping a wry grin toward the cat. "I kind of like her this way. Talks less and doesn't hit as hard."

There was a rather quick swipe, and Cal winced, cradling his hand.

"But she does have claws," he amended with a lament.

He chuckled. "And apparently has no qualms about using them."

"Some how," he waggled a finger at the small feline, "that does not surprise me."

Amber, claws tucked back in safely, pawed at G'Kar's finger.

"Me, neither," Cal admitted with a grin. "Sounds like a good description of her if I ever heard one."

Pie?
