You eat things that look like nasty space squid? That's gross.

[beatupgrass]

I eat seafood, which can look pretty gross sometimes. When you look like this, it gets really hinky to eat anything mammalian.

[pullsheavendown]

What's wrong with the way you look? I think you look fine.

[Rocket tilts his head.]

Seriously?

[He gestures to himself- all three feet and furred with metal brackets on his chest.] This is normal to you?

[pullsheavendown]

[Roxas looks him up and down, hesitant, but not because he's unsure of himself. It just feels like this might be a trick question.]

Yes? Why not?

[beatupgrass]

I'm a walking abomination of nature, kid. I, quite literally, should not exist.

[Normally he wouldn't be so bold about this, but the fact that this is normal for Roxas is wigging him out so much he doesn't know what to think. There's at least two reasons for that and he likes neither]

[pullsheavendown]

[Huh. How about that.]

Then we've got something in common. I was never meant to exist either.

[beatupgrass]

[There's a long period of silence.]

Y'know it doesn't count if your mom and dad weren't expecting you and you just happened right? I don't know a whole lot about human biological shit, but I've heard that's a thing that happens.

[YOU LOOK SO NORMAL... Then again, so does Prompto.]

[pullsheavendown]

I don't have a mom or dad. I don't mean I'm an orphan, I never had parents. I wasn't born, I was created.

[And the person who made him didn't even know it.]

[beatupgrass]

Oh....

[Uh... Well. Rocket taps his foot on the ground a bit, awkwardly.] Well, welcome to the club, I guess. It's a shitty club, but there's a couple people in it.

[pullsheavendown]

[Roxas lifts one shoulder in a semi-shrug, and smiles. It's fine.]

I don't mind being in it. There are a lot worse things to be part of, trust me.
