@StopNShopkeeper // No worries at all dude!! Seriously please take your time, it’s not like the ints are going anywhere! :]

@IBLOWSTUFFUP2 // You’re so sweet oomf thank you 😭 I love the interactions so much, it’s a shame I can’t respond as quickly as I want to, but I appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience!!

// Hey, I know I got a lot of ints up at the moment and I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping up with them. Some personal stuff came up so responses will be slow for those tor the time being. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for understanding. I’m still around, just slower.

@StopNShopkeeper [ Rocket did as directed , placing the plate in the microwave and tapping the reheat button rather aggressively , something she seemed to enjoy doing . ]

@IBLOWSTUFFUP2 " Ah. " 「 He gestured to the reheat button. 」 " Just put the plate in the microwave. Press that button twice, then press start. It'll beep when it's finished. " 「 His voice was gentle as he spoke, not judgemental at all. Zuka was content to just watch her explore. 」

[ CLOSED INT WITH @STOPNSHOPKEEPER ] [ The city of Crossroads was a very busy but relatively safe place - especially compared to other regions, like the violence filled Craterdust Capital , where Rocket originated . Growing up homeless in Craterdust for around a year or two —

@IBLOWSTUFFUP2 「 He smiled gently, nodding approvingly. 」 " Feel free to warm it up in the microwave. Utensils are next t' it. " 「 Zuka hummed, stretching a bit before picking up his coffee again to take a sip. 」 " Ya like coffee? I can brew ya a cup of that too. "

Ok

found a glass shard on the ground

@StopNShopkeeper — lanyard with one hand , freeing it to take the food from Zuka . ]

@StopNShopkeeper [ Rocket caught the lanyard , holding it tightly with both of her hands . ] [ The offer of food was really tempting , but the offer being from a stranger made it hard to accept . She glared at the plate , thinking for a few moments before hesitantly letting go of the —

secured myself a job

@StopNShopkeeper + “ Do I start working tomorrow ? “

@StopNShopkeeper — easily find her , that is . ] “ I’ll be fine . I know my limits . “ [ Rocket muttered . Being told he wouldn’t get mad at her if something did happen was comforting to hear . She stayed as tense as she had been this whole time , though . ] +

@StopNShopkeeper + [ Rocket said , not looking up at Zuka when she spoke . ] “ I’ll probably wake myself up around six . Earliest I can go without being tired all day . “ [ She said bluntly , not seeming too willing to negotiate that . ]

@StopNShopkeeper [ Rocket nodded quickly . ] “ Yeah , understood . “ [ She confirmed . Rocket didn’t respond to the question about where she was staying for a while - most likely trying to think of a response besides / I’m homeless / . ] “ .. I have a place nearby . I’ll stay there . “ +

@StopNShopkeeper — at various things in the room as she took another few seconds to examine the interior of the shop . ]

@StopNShopkeeper [ Rocket took a moment to glance around the room , mapping it out . It was nice .. Well enough to hang out in until she secured herself a proper living space , she noted . ] “ Yeah , whatever . If that gets me paid , I’ll do it . “ [ Rocket murmured bitingly , glaring —

@StopNShopkeeper go in . “ [ She said blankly , a little lost in thought . ] “ .. I’ll think about the food offer . “ [ Rocket added . ]

@StopNShopkeeper [ Rocket seemed rather apprehensive , making it clear that she was a little hesitant about entering , whether purposefully or not . ] [ What kind of employee am I , being hesitant to enter my own workplace ? / Rocket reprimanded herself in her head . ] “ Yeah . We can —

@StopNShopkeeper — the sight of the extended hand , and took a slightly shaky breath to compose herself and not freak out . ] “ .. Rocket . “ [ She muttered , hesitantly taking Zuka’s hand . ]

@StopNShopkeeper [ The thought of helping with inventory seemed much more manageable than running the register - having to constantly interact with others would probably drive her insane , she thought . ] “ Inventory . I’ll .. help with inventory . ] [ Rocket tensed up all over again at —
