Lost Lion. Please Help?

WHO: Shiro and You!
WHERE: Around
WHAT: New Arrival Exploring
WHEN: Beginning of January
WARNINGS: None yet. Will update.

This was certainly not the last place that Shiro remembered being. He had last remembered returning to Earth and ending up with his new robotic arm. As he stood there for a long moment, wracking his brain, there wasn't much more after that. Certainly, there wasn't enough he would have suddenly found himself here in a world that seemed far more dilapidated than the Garrison was with far fewer technologies.

The information that suddenly came to him was certainly helpful, but very disturbing to him. After all, what had most of his recent life been like other than some other being deciding he needed to be somewhere that he didn't consent to going?

Typical.

But Shiro was out in the town and exploring. Sure, he had the device and he did pause a few times to review it, specifically looking at the map more than anything else, but still, he'd rather see them for himself. After he had figured out where he was going, he could see if there was anything that he could assist with. If he was going to be here, might as well do something productive.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah, it still was something that made Tommy a bit impressed.

"Here," Tommy says with a smile, offering more mint out to Shiro. "They're pretty gentle."

"Thanks." Shiro took the offered mint and stepped closer towards the approaching creatures, making a sound that he hoped would beckon them over to him.

"Here, little guys."

Tommy smiles as he watches Shiro.

"If you like them, there's always need for hands to help manage the things," he explains, arms crossed as Shiro feeds the little creatures.

"They are very nice," Shiro said as one of the glownies came up to snack on the mint that he was holding. "I wouldn't mind spending something with these guys."

It was very relaxing and they were quite sweet that he had seen so far.

Look at that. Nice guy, nice animals. It works.

"Well, they could use company from time to time. It's not a bad thing," he says softly, smiling.

"You have a gentle touch, clearly."

"I would say this certainly isn't a bad task to have."

He smiled faintly watching the glownies.

"Thanks. I never really got to spend too much time around animals when I was younger... but I always liked them."

"I never spent much time around plants back home. Now I'm one of the leads on managing our food," Tommy answers with a shrug, still smiling. "Sometimes you learn something new here."

And there's nothing wrong with liking the animals.

"I think there might be combs for their fur around here."

"Kind of amazing that," Shiro remarked. "Who knows? Maybe I will get to know these little guys better and work with them more."

Sure, he could do other stuff as well, but it seemed like it would be pretty relaxing to be around them.

"Huh. Let's see. They might like that."

"They would," Tommy agrees, and he gestures for the guy to join him. "Let me show you where they let stuff for these guys. Mostly they've just been grazing because people haven't taken care of them hands on as much. But, you know, they're like sheep. They can be sorta independent."

But it would be good if someone was watching herds, because then they could get more animals.

"I'll show you how to get back into the greenhouse from the connecting tunnels when you want, and show you where the mint is."

"Sounds good." And Shiro would follow after him. Since he rather liked the idea of helping to look after them, might as well see where everything was. "They seem to be doing well for not having people around so often."

Shiro might have to start looking after them more often.

"Sounds good. Seeing how to get back would be a good idea." Brain wasn't able to process how they had gotten here the first time.

"They did perfectly find for plenty of years before we got here. Animals, man, they're a wonder."

Tommy led Shiro over to a nice storage building and opened the doors.

"I think it's all in here. I don't come in much. A lot of the animals here aren't my thing. Except Kosmo."

"Yeah. Sometimes people wonder how animals got along without them. Most of the time, they don't actually need us."

Shiro followed him over and looked into the storage building when he opened the doors.

"Makes it easy." But at the last comment... "Kosmo? Wouldn't be a wolf would it?"

"Domesticated stuff we bred was definitely different, but these guys survived a long time before we got here."

And when Shiro asks, Tommy's shocked. Oh wow.

"A blue one, teleports? Owner named Keith?"

"Yes, that's the one!" Shiro said with a grin. "Keith's my friend. We're from the same world. We were paladins together."

Oh, so this guy knew Keith. Tommy grins.

"A friend of my bro is a friend of mine. Though you'd already be a friend anyway," Tommy says, smiling as he gets down a brush for the glownies. "You're a pretty interesting guy after all. And come on, people with good dates in hair color should stick together."

"And any friend of Keith's is a friend of mine." So they are completely in agreement on that. He grinned as well before going to get a brush as well for the glownies.

"Thanks. And yeah, they should."

Tommy smirks and heads out of the shed, moving toward the animals.

"He's a good guy, Keith. Just, I don't know... Familiar."

And familiar in Tommy's book is NOT a good sign. It meant that something was wrong with the life the person had lived.

Shiro nodded as he followed, heading back towards the glownies. He could really get used to spending time around them. They were very nice. "He is a good guy. He's saved my life... more times than I can count. Just as I have saved his."

"He is. Something tells me you are too. You've got the style of it. Like 'hero' vibes and all that."

And Tommy got those vibes. He worked hard to make sure he was worthy of them.

He smiled. "I try to be. I used to be the pilot of a space ship and then I ended up getting to save many worlds from the threat of the Galra."

"Galra?" Tommy asks. He doesn't really like the idea of space, so he's less interested in the piloting space ships. "Never heard of those."

"They are an alien race in my world. Some of them are good. A vast majority are very war-like and aggressive. They are infamous for trying to take over the entire universe... and taking slaves as they go."

Does he sound bitter here at this last part? Because he is. Very bitter.

"So... like the Skrull or Kree. Fun," Tommy sighs.

But his eyes move briefly to Shiro. There was clearly something going on there. For once, Tommy doesn't push the button.

"I think the glownies need brushing, right?"

"I have never heard of either so those so I will take your word for it."

And it was a shame that there was more like the Galra out there even in different universes.

But a distraction is definitely good to get him to stop thinking about it.

"Yeah, I think that they do too."

Brushing cute animals would certainly help.

"Nah, don't take all of my word on it. They're getting better. Almost good galactic citizens or whatever. Their new leader is a good guy."

His brother-in-law actually, and one of Tommy's best friends. It worked out.

Still, they have to get the animals in line for brushing, and Tommy offers his own brushes over to Shiro.

"I'll go wrangle them. Stay here."
