Giving a smile as she handed over a chocolate bar, she snagged a few gummies from the offered bag and popped one in her mouth as they walked. "There are very few asshole Houluh at least," she said with a sigh of relief. Heathen was an exception, but... there was always a bad one in the batch. It seemed like they were a little more comfortable being around people again, both her and Morgan, and she glanced over for a moment to the other person and nodded slightly at herself.
Eclipse flicked his ear and beamed at her before shaking his head a little as he moved in a little closer and let one of his long ears drape over her shoulders a little. He'd heard he was pretty warm, so that was a good thing right? This would be fun he figured, he was already enjoying himself at least, playing with a new friend.
Pretending she hadn't noticed the laugh, Jack opened the door to the room and nodded gravely, "This is true, but I've heard tell it just makes us crunchy and have some much needed texture." Her grave look turned to a quick smirk if Morgan glanced her way.

Morgan took the chocolate bar and held the bag amicably and loosely in the crook of an arm as they resituated everything to make it easier to hold for when they would go sit down. "You are right a-about that. I d-do tend to prefer critter c-company to people-company." They admitted. Of course, Nico was a perfect angel, but sometimes Todd could be a bit of a mess. Creatures had personalities all their own, but it was so much easier to deal with them than it was to deal with folks. They still felt a little... Rusty when it came to this. Like all of their joints were creaky. The patronne was... quite a handsome specimen. Mink had decided that dead by rights immediately upon laying eyes on him, but now that he was so close, she hardly knew what to do with herself! He was so soft and his fur was so silky. She couldn't imagine how much brushing or careful grooming it took to keep his fur in order. He was so fluffy and warm, and it had been quite cold outside... She let herself press into him a bit, nosing one of his ears with her cold nose. The bespectacled human was not exactly used to social interaction; let alone laughing like that. They hoped they hadn't been too rude, but the thought of thinking about people as meat? It was sort of right up their alley in an odd way. "Heheh- I- I hadn't thought of that." Now that they noticed, the other individual did have a green ring around their finger; like their own. Morgan was one to speak with Tats, but something told them that whatever this Jack tended to speak to- they must be carnivorous. They caught the tail-end of a smirk and crinkled the corners of their own eyes in response with a flash of a grin. [16]

Eclipse nosed her as well and then woofed lightly. He was pretty happy right now, so he was sure this would be a good thing, right? Well.. he didn't know what was going on but that was fine. Eyes sparkling a little, the Houluh tilted his head and glanced around the room for a moment as he nudged her forward to go first into the new area. At least it looked like a nice place, that counted for something right?
"Feels like most people don't think that way, mostly people don't want to deal with the fact we're so vulnerable," she offered as she settled onto a seat with a shrug, "My thought, if you worry about things, you start to fear them." Popping the last few gummies she had nabbed into her mouth, she started to unwrap the chocolate as well. "...I'm healthy," she said, glancing over at Morgan out of the corner of her eye.

Mink couldn't help but glance up from her cuddling position at the woof, she wanted to look him right in the eyes. He had such an interesting marking over one of his eyes, it was dark like some of his other fur and surrounded by a solid blanket of white otherwise. He was very cute, in her opinion. His eyes were very captivating in the way that they sparkled, to the point to where she almost didn't notice whenever he nudged her to move. Ah, right! She followed after the humans- how could she have forgotten to pay attention to the masters? She stepped ahead of him, only glancing back once to catch his eye with hers. After situating theirself down into a chair and then sitting the bag of gummies between them to share, they turned towards their compatriot- nodding. Morgan couldn't help but wrap their left hand around their right wrist to keep their hands preoccupied. "I do think t-that y-you're right." It was something that most certainly struck close to home. They felt a little oddly raw, but managed to keep their wits and facade about them. "Healthy, huh." Thinking about that, mulling it over in their head. Morgan hadn't thought about whether or not they were healthy on their own, not in a long time. "Perhaps I need to t-think of Health, more- myself." [18]

Eclipse padded in after her and his eyes sparkled a little as she looked back at him. It was nice, she was nice, and she was so pretty and sweet. Giving a low woof, he nuzzled up to her cheek with his muzzle, tail wagging slowly from side to side. He didn't know what the deal was, but this was still fun and happy. Would this have to end at some point...? A small whine escaped without him meaning to do it and his eyes were cast down a little in sadness.
"There's lots of meanings behind health," Jack mused, taking a bite of chocolate, letting it roll over her tongue, "Health of the body, mind, and soul. This right here? This heals my soul." She smiled as she motioned with the chocolate bar and then shrugged a little, "The other two are questionable, gotta admit. I hope you're doing... mostly okay though. It's basically impossible to be completely okay." Eh, clumsy, but at least it was nice enough she supposed... hopefully.

Mink would have had to admit it to herself; she really liked this houluh. She'd been here before, and had a pretty decent idea of what she was being asked to figure out- and this particular houluh had caught her attention in the best way. At the cheek nuzzle, she wagged her tail soft and smooth and was quite taken aback at the sadness in his eyes. She perks her ears and gives him a big lick in the general direction of his face, hoping to catch at least a wisp of a piece of that soft fur with it. She wanted to cheer him up in some way...
Morgan just listened. It was much easier for them than speaking, anyway- and often they felt a little too awkward to speak without thinking too much. Remembering the chocolate in their hand, they unwrapped a piece and focused their eyes on it as they broke a piece off and took a bite. They nodded as they felt the smooth melt of it on their tongue. "I think you are right, a-about all of that. I think..." They broke off another piece, letting this one melt on their tongue as well. "I think we all just h-have to strive for the best we can do."
Leave it to them to make everything awkward, right? Morgan was the absolute worst at people!
