"I've been trying not to." They were adapting fine. It was just different, but he was done volunteering too much information when he wasn't sure what she wanted to get out of this. Regardless, they would adapt. They just needed to apply the skill they already had in different ways, adapt to some changes, get used to what was required of them and maybe they could build a life here. Better than the one they had before. Even if they did end up being kept pets, it was what they chose.
"Mmhm." Purely innocent advice between friends, he was sure. Leon let his eyes wander back to their wayward barkeep and was relieved to see that she seemed to be putting the finishing touches on whatever it was Kari ordered for him. Some kinda lemonade? At least this one didn't involve dancing. "Between us friends, if an egg wanted to solicit some advice, where would you recommend instead?" It's not like he had a ton of options. He couldn't stay too far away and he certainly didn't want to be in the same room, lest said snake became overenthusiastic in protecting it's investments.
Xotll finally finished and came over with his lemonade, chatting happily to them while setting it down in front of Leon. He admired the color for a moment before noticing that she hadn't wandered off. Instead, she was still standing in front of him, looking expectant. Did she expect him to guess with this too? "It's human. Right? Lemonade is human." He almost had to bite his tongue not to add an 'obviously' at the end there. She meant well. "I am curious what gives it the color. You two were talking about flowers?"
