He smiles and nods. "Your vision is limited by your age, but your heart is in the right place. Yes, violence is in every being's nature, but cruelty need not be. You keep working for that peace, and it'll come. Not likely to be in your lifetime, or possibly even mine, but it will happen eventually."
He once again silently chuckles, smiling with bright teeth. Once they are done gathering what they want to buy he pays for it, signing “Where is this barbecue? And is it okay if I take part?”
He laughs warmly. "Just in the park, friend. Everyone is invited, and I'd love to see your face light up when you try my spicy ribeye bulgogi. It's great, and it melts in your mouth even when raw."
He nods, waving to them before putting his badge coin away, he waves to go running off to finish up some things and then go meet them there. When he arrives at the barbecue, his hands are covered in blood, though he doesn’t seem to mind.

The short king sees him, he waves him over to the drink stand he's setting up. "I take it you killed something?" He picks up a big bottle of water.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.
She looks over to them, moving her cloth, “Probably… do you want me to?”
He looks at the wide expanse of the ocean, his eyes glowing with a soft bit of joy at the sight, “It was…”
“Do you disagree with it?” She asks, writing something down on her desk.
"No, you may stay as long as you wish."
"The waves look so peaceful.." she smiles, taking his hand gently
"I would not say you are displeasing to view."
She sits with them, calming back down before putting away her lantern and climbing down them. She runs over to give them a kiss on the cheek before scampering off, embarrassed.
He takes hers, sighing as he looks at them as well, “Beautiful, peaceful.”
She raises an eyebrow, “Why are you talking like that now?”
He laughs warmly. "Just in the park, friend. Everyone is invited, and I'd love to see your face light up when you try my spicy ribeye bulgogi. It's great, and it melts in your mouth even when raw."

The short king sees him, he waves him over to the drink stand he's setting up. "I take it you killed something?" He picks up a big bottle of water.
He takes the bottle of water, tapping the side and making it turn into sparkling water after dropping some materials inside, he nods, signing “Big beast, artificially made.”
"Why not prune a powerful being before it has the chance to ruin things for you? We draw power from the Divine Fox, a beast that swore that one day, she will come back in the body of a Gumiho and put an end to all that mankind has built, from the mightiest wall to the smallest babe. What she said was that she would reduce them to animals, and then to meat. Even without her blessings, we are immortal. We are fast and smart and tricky. And sometimes, when we get really angry and scared, we hurt people. I myself have done over a hundred years worth of vicious, unrelenting cruelty, trying to strike back at a world that maimed me, body and soul. So I pray for forgiveness every night and every day, before every meal or snack. We live in a wonderful world, Aokiji. I remind myself that every day."
"How quaint that we share a similar religion. Our god is a Nine Tailed fox, though I do not know why. He protects us and is responsible for the changing of our seasons. Yes, the world is beautiful, but so many harbor hate for no reason.."
He chuckles. "Hate? Hate is a basic response. It's the catch-all, the multitasker of the human age. I've wielded it for and against mortals for most of my 2,000 years. It takes a lot of restraint to not submit to it, but I manage most days. I'm sure we'll all get better at that as time goes on. I've seen steady progress throughout my life. Slow, of course, and agonizingly so, but it is there." He sighs. "But enough about wars and hatred. A nine-tailed fox, you say? Perhaps he was one of us at some point. After all, we Gumiho do work toward evolution with the hope of ascension. Or maybe he's one of our progenitors, the father to our mother Divine Fox."

"Bye, nice to meet you!" he says with a smile, closing his eyes and going back to sleep. (aeroace lil goober, btw, so absolutely no relationships, just affection >:3)
"Nobody around~"
"I dunno.. sumthin' about the environment.. makes me feel I gotta be.. professional."
(I assumed so, just needed a bit of confirmation. Good place to end, want anyone else?)
His eyes widen, before looking down at the sand, “Do you… want to?”
She sighs, chuckling, before putting her quill down “Professional? If you say so.” She puts her plague doctor’s mask on.

He drinks a bit more of the water before turning it into soap, pouring it onto his hands, cleaning them before turning it back to water, his alchemy symbols glowing softly.

(Not specifically, just hit me)
"I definitely do. it's been centuries.." She cracks her neck, giggling
"I dunno why." he shrugs, pspspsing to Nine.
Antonio is standing in front of the sink in the bathroom after a long shower, contemplating his own choices. He takes long, deep breaths, his head dropping to look at the water draining in the sink.
He rolls his shoulders, stretching all of his arms, smiling a little bit, “No pressure then huh? I guess I won’t disappoint.” (Good place to end? Pm?)
Nine comes over to rest in their lap. She grabs one of her mushrooms, handing it over to them, “Try this.”
He laughs. "You people never cease to amaze me with your innovations. Now wash your hands. Food safety, you know."
He drinks a bit more of the water before turning it into soap, pouring it onto his hands, cleaning them before turning it back to water, his alchemy symbols glowing softly.
"Excellent." he leads Flynn over to the meat buffet, where lattices of flesh lie in wait. "They only need a couple seconds on each side to be food-safe. Some are marinated, some aren't, there should be a label. Go ham, brother." He reaches up and pats Flynn on the lower back, as high as he can reach.

He looks across the table, before picking up some sticks from the ground, turning them into a plate as he begins to grab some food when it’s ready, smiling brightly at the chance to have an actual meal that isn’t military approved first.

Domino comes up behind him and squeezes his sides, nibbling his ear.
(implied, I'm feelin slow today)
He takes it, sniffs it, and then bites into it.
Aokiji is sparring with a dummy
*Feelin slow? Eh, not my business.*
He shoots into a straight standing position, before looking back and seeing it’s them, calming down immediately, “Hey…”
Its properties are entirely healing in nature, though it tastes like soap “What happened?” She asks as if she wouldn’t know what would.
Milo the timid giant watches them while sharpening his own axe, waving politely.
