Fascinating~

[The feed opens with a man wearing an obviously foreign yet well-cut suit. Taking a quick look around, he regard the camera briefly before raising it up and moving it to pan the horizon, the setting being Genessia City. Lowering it, he looks into it with a minor tilt of his head.]

Though, likely not for most of you. I found Miss Schnee's explanation hologram thrilling, and wouldn't mind a more intimate discussion with her, given she seems an industrious lady. Ah, though, manners.

[Moving a hand to his left breast, he inclines his head and offers a winning smile for the camera before pushing the bridge of his glasses up.]

Forgive me for the error; I am Arro Caine, at your service. Newly arrived here in this place, and while I would like to enjoy the sights; I do see this is a fine opportunity to mingle among other travelers from even more exotic places than this. I also might inquire to employment.

[This time, the man touches the arm of his glasses as he leans in to observe the camera a bit more seriously, and if one didn't know better, his eyes might almost glow in the faint shadows.]

I am very qualified for medical, scientific, or even teaching work. Alas, my Doctorates did not arrive with me, but I am more than happy field any questions necessary, so please; put me to the test. Though--

[He leans away from the camera now with a wistful smile, moving to take a seat and pointing the camera away from him to watch the sun crawl across the sky.]

--Instead, perhaps someone might join me and watch the clouds as well. It's a new day, and a new place. While that again may not be true for many of you; I would like just a moment to enjoy a simple pleasure with a like mind--[A sigh]--Life always seems so fleeting to not take a moment sometimes.

If you would do me the very great honor of allow me to spend time with you, ser Bracken; I could perhaps even help you with some of your work if need be~

[Yes, by now Arro was sure he was thoroughly interested in this young mage, and had his first subject of study. He already felt as though he was falling into a slight teaching role. Though he was more interested in what Bracken might have to teach him.]

[He finally broke down and chuckled a bit anxiously. He didn't deserve all this put-on-a-pedestal treatment.]

I-It's no big deal...

Do you like p-picking plants? I do a lot of, of it for work.

[He didn't mind any tediousness. It was a simple job that didn't require much thought beyond learning about the plants and the forest.

He was already headed back towards his job to drop off what he'd gotten so far. If Arro would like to help, there'd be no problem with having empty sacks to use.]

Tut, do not sell yourself short~

[At the question of work, Arro quirked an eyebrow. Not afraid of work, he did want to clarify a point.]

I do not mind, but horticulture isn't my forte. I'm sure after a small demonstration I can grasp it well enough.

[He was hurrying along at a quick pace. It was impossible to be the first person there, but he didn't seem keen on making Bracken wait very long.]

[He was slow, but he had two major advantages: He was already in Fayren, and he knew the way.

He did stop by his job first, happily going in and neatly putting away the herbs he'd collected so far, before packing up his things and heading towards his 'home'.]

I-It isn't so hard. I learned a-after I started.

[He totally applied for the job not knowing much about plants. But, to his credit, he had studied hard and learned day after day. Now he was familiar with quite a few plants in Fayren.

When he did get to the inn later he stood out in front to wait. Next to him was a wagon with a variety of sacks to hold different herbs in. Maybe it almost looked a little childish, but he didn't care. It was effective, and easier to drag it through the forest than much bigger things like carriages.]

[As Arro stepped along the path, following the directions carefully, his heels clicked anywhere there was stone to step on, otherwise he was almost eerily quiet as he came up to the inn. Looking up to spy Bracken and his small wagon, there was a small chuckle as Arro then bowed.]

Ser Bracken, a pleasure~ My, you're quite sizable in real life.

[This was said as Arro was only 5'9" without his heels, and barely equal with Bracken with them. He was also quite thin. Moving to look over the wagon, he gave a small nod.]

Rather ingenuous, I must say! This would make gather much more simple, and you can collect quite a few more. Now then~ I did say I would help you collect herbs, and if you will forgive the pause I've caused in getting here, I am ready.

[In one way, his stockiness and height made him a decently sizable fellow. In another, his demeanor tended to make him seem smaller. He definitely tended to have more weight than most of the people he knew, but he was far from a giant.

He was reserved, but smiled softly when he saw the other man.]

H-Hi.

[Grabbing the wagon handle, he took a step towards him.]

I-It's just something I had, so... so I thought it would be g-good to use for this.

[He held out a small book for him. It was his book about plants which, upon viewing the inside, would be full of detailed pictures and descriptions. He'd used it for quite a while to learn about the plants, perhaps it could help out Arro during their little trip.]

Who's this loser?

[Katze has a habit of appearing out of thin air whenever he's bored. The seven foot alien can teleport at will and even float. That's why neither of them noticed Katze sitting high above upon a nearby lamp post.

He's sitting up there dressed in his trademark blue suit with a pair of red heels this time around and cute matching lipstick red purse. That long bright pink hair is tied back in a ponytail but his bangs still cover over his eyes well enough to conceal them. If course he has a bright red bow in his hair to match the shoes and bag.

Katze is learning to accessorize.]

Bracken, did you drag home another stray?

[Taking the book with a warm smile, Arro opened it with the intent to read, but paused as he heard another voice adding themselves to the conversation. Rather than shock; his reaction is a chuckle and adjustment of his glasses.]

Dear me.

[Opting to ignore both insults, Arro lowered his eyes to skim a few lines. The art was lovely, and the descriptions, while minimal in his opinion, would be of great aid to him while he assisted. There was a hum from his lips as he closed the book and tucked it into a pocket in his jacket; that was indeed large enough to hold it. If they spent any length of time with him, they would learn he was quite the reader.]

This is a fine aid~ Thank you, ser Bracken. Now... [Arro looked up and gave a tilt of his head. It seemed he might as well be in a land of giants, as this new person seemed taller still than Bracken.] Might you introduce me to your lovely acquaintance?

[Bracken wasn't the best reader, but he was great with visuals, so it was the perfect book for him.

His gaze snapped up to Katze when he heard his voice.]

K-Katze!

[For a moment he stood in surprise, and then took a step towards him, reaching up as if expecting Katze to jump down from his perch into his arms.]

Th-This is my boyfriend, Katze. A-And, this is Arro. I... I told him I'd show him the forest.

[Bracken expected correctly too! As soon a Katze saw the invitation, he jumps off the lamp post and floats down into Bracken's arms. Happy purring ensues followed by appreciative nuzzling.]

Showing him the spooky forest, huh? This close to Halloween?

[He spies over at this "Arro" and scoffs.]

He's probably a serial killer.

[Seeing Bracken catch what may have been an even taller person so easily brought a small grin to his lips; it was quite romantic after all, as well as the purring.]

Only of hearts~

[The quip to Katze is very quick, and offered with a smirk. Taking a second to button two buttons on his jacket, he raises an eyebrow in question.]

This place celebrates Halloween? Delightful~ I am just a minor fan; but it is nice. I must say, you two are quite the couple.

[His expression as Katze floated down into his arms was absolutely serene. He asked for very little, and receiving his boyfriend's affection was more than enough to keep him happy. He nuzzled back, a soft smile on his lips.

Of course, that didn't mean they were always on the same page. When he heard what Katze said, he panicked slightly.]

I-I think he's very nice.

[Not that he actually knew anything about him, but Arro seemed nice and he wanted them to get along.

Still, he listened to Arro's question.]

I-It's my first time here, but... but I think so.

[As far as he knew Halloween was a thing here. He had never considered that it wouldn't be. He seemed to light up slightly when Arro complimented them as a couple, and though he wasn't good at accepting compliments he was more than ready to dish some out.]

I... I told you he was r-really pretty.

[Sure, Katze was a super tall alien with crazy eye syndrome, but Bracken adored his psychotic not-so-little boyfriend.]

[Despite Katze's less than charming quirks, the overgrown alien is at least appreciative of Bracken's neverending support even if he takes advantage of it at times. The hot-pink weirdo lingers in Bracken's arms for a bit like some sort of big cat. Bracken is lucky that Katze can manipulate his gravity or else Bracken would be having back pains right about now.]

Me? Pretty~? Aw, shucks! [He pinches Bracken's cheeks with a giggle and a smile.] Aren't you sweet!

Sweet enough to eat almost.

[The blond is lucky that Katze isn't a cannibal.]

I wanna come too! I wanna see the forest~

[Chuckling at the display, Arro watches with interest until the matter of the forest comes up.]

Oh? All three of us? Well, it would put me in good company, at the very least.

[He pulls his phone to check the time before replacing it. He doesn't have a place to be; he just likes to keep up with things around him.]

Though, I have caused a considerable delay, is showing me going to put you behind, ser Bracken?

[This was turning out to be a nice day. While he enjoy his quiet times in the forest, he wouldn't mind company once in a while.]

I-I thought I told you before...

[The statement was quiet, mostly as if he was legitimately questioning whether he's told Katze before. With his sort of mind it was easy to lose track of those kind of things. In reality, Katze likely heard about how pretty he was quite often.

Gently, he placed Katze on his feet so he could grab the handle of his wagon, and lightly shook his head at Arro.]

I-It's fine. I'm, I'm not on a schedule.

[Not exactly. He didn't really need to be. He was used to repeating chores over and over again and he did that very well.]

I-I'll take you to the pond. It's... It's great to swim in wh-when it's hot.

[Not that he was packing any swimsuit. He'd always gone alone so he never needed one.

As he started leading the to the forest, he paused by Katze to take his hand, pulling the wagon with one hand and holding Katze with the other. Katze would likely recognize the wagon as the one Bracken had used to cart him back home when he was sick. He still had it and was using it for work these days.]
