Being weird... it's basically something everyone has a different opinion about. What seems natural to one person might seem strange and unusual to another. Most people here find my teenage brooding and discomfort around happiness weird. We've all got our weirdnesses.
[ There was a small pause. ]
Has someone been bothering you about being weird?
[ Squall might look calm, but seems annoyed at the thought of someone picking on Kaden. ]
No! Well... no. I was just wondering, because so many things are different here compared to home, if 'weird' also changed.
[ he smiled, nervously looking away. ]
He calls me weird all the time. From him, it's... I know what he means. It's one of the few things he describes me as. I just wish I had something I could call him.

Squall! Um... can I ask you a question?
[ because what else would he be doing... ]
image;
Ah...? Yes?
[ That wasn't a face he was expecting to see. ]
image;
[ head-tilt! ]
image;
[ He gave Kaden a raised eyebrow. ]
I don't know, I don't really actively think about that?
image;
[ blep! ]
image;
[ No hesitation. Though he does continue on to say. ]
But in your case it's kind of interesting.

[ both ears droop slightly, though they don't completely fold down. ]
... what do you mean, interesting?

[ he blinked, one ear starting to uncurl. ]

Try Loud, smelly, dirty, buggy?

[ his tail nervously swished, at least loud enough in his own mind to make a noise. ]
Do you have any names that people would call you instead of your own?
image;
[ He trails off a bit. ]
image;
[ a beat: ]
What's introverted?
image;

That doesn't sound like the Squall I know... for the most part. So it sounds like you've learned a lot, huh?
image;
image;
Or maybe they'd think you've become weirder?
[ teehee. ]

[ blink, blink. ]
Pod person?
[ more blinking! ]
Well, you're not kidnapped... unless you want to be. I bet I could sneak you away easily!
