[artificial bones]

Frendo takes Weywot on a tour of the city and his meager hive!
IN THE N H C

Frendo rocked eagerly on the heels of his feet as he waited at the station. The train was late, and while he was good at waiting, the orangeblood was also EXCITED. Today was the night he and Weywot had agreed to meet in his homecity. He had eagerly invited her to see the city and his garden, and could have died happy as she agreed. Frendo had never had another troll visit his hive!

He gave a small whine as he looked down the empty tracks, but relaxed as his lusus gave him a reassuring nuzzle(from both heads). The train would be here soon, he just needed to chill out. Frendo lazily ran his fingers through Rightdad's head fringe, a habit he had since he was a wiggler to help ease his anxiousness. He just needed to relax and wait, the train would show up soon.

And by golly, only a few minutes later, he heard it screaming down the tracks. The orangeblood jumped up and down for joy as the big metal monstrosity came to a screeching halt in the station, and he ran, with nary a worry or care for other trolls around him, to the train doors. Of course, Weywot was not the first, or second, or even eleventh troll to exit the train, and Frendo found himself getting in everyone's way as he looked for his new found friend.

Where was she?

Getting dressed while clean, getting on a train with other trolls...Weywot's nerves couldn't handle anything more. Her anxiety made her chest so tight she felt like she was having trouble breathing. While she wanted to go see the city, see Frendo's hive, she didn't want to be around all these trolls. Weywot clutched her shirt tighter to her chest and just prayed to whoever that they could get away from people for a bit before sightseeing happened.

The way the train moved made her stomach feel queasy. There was basically nothing familiar about it.

When it finally came to a stop at the station she was supposed to get off at, Weywot tried to be last. She let everyone else ahead of her before finally following up behind, chewing in her nails so much a bit of blood started to form around the nail. Her eyes were puffy like she'd been crying (she hadn't, but she'd come close quite a few times when the train jerked).

All in all, Weywot looked a bit frazzled as she looked around for Frendo. Spotting him sent a jolt through her and she moved over to him, bare feet plapping on the cement beneath her. "F-FRENDO."

Frendo nearly squealed when Weywot came into view. He had worried for a moment that she had changed her mind! The little orangeblood was overjoyed to see she had not, and was in fact quickly making her way to him. As she called his name, Frendo chirped back, "SO SLOW IM SORRY

The hug had taken her aback and Weywot's arms stayed tense at her side. What did she do?! He was attacking her but it wasn't painful. In her head Weywot was mentally giving a little 'aaaaaaaa' because nothing like this had happened before, but Frendo pulled back and realized something that made him haul her else where.

She followed him because she was being dragged but it got quieter and less crowded and she realized what he was doing. One of her hands clutched her shirt again and she just swallowed at his question before giving a little nod.

"....I ..think so." Or she would be okay. Weywot wasn't going to tell him she was frazzled, scared, and just wanted to curl up in a hole for a while, literally. "Let's... go? Wh-what do wE DO FIRST?" And there was the sign of just how nervous she was. Her head ducked and she just sighed and mashed her hands into her eyes, rubbing them hard. She was really hoping to control that.

Frendo was not the most observant of trolls sometimes, but he could tell Weywot was uncomfortable. For a moment the orangeblood worried that it was him that had upset her, but brushed that worry off. He needed to focus on Wey right now, not on his own insecurities(thank gog for distractions and diversions). When her voice fluctuated, Frendo grinned his most reassuring smile and grabbed at her hands, gently pulling her away from rubbing her eyes, and responded in his own loud and enthusiastic voice, "Le's head ta my place! I got some good lunch there an' it's quiet!" he could tell this busy environment was making his new friend anxious, and that just wouldn't do!

Still holding one of the bluebloods hands, Frendo tugged her along, leading her through the crowds of trolls with a reassuring squeeze and out into the city. It was a bustling, moving and hectic environment, but he hoped that his own confidence in how to go about traversing the masses would rub off on Wey a little. He tried to talk about cool things as they traveled, like a roof he had worked on here, or a shop he had helped at there. A restaurant with great food(that he could never afford) and the big, magnificent hivestems he dreamed of one day living in instead of his tiny sub-par hive he lived in now.

Finally they arrived at his hivestem, in a more mellow part of the city, but obviously not the nice part of town. Trolls here seemed less friendly, but Frendo seemed unaffected by the stares and stances of the smattering of trolls on his street, and quickly lead Wey inside the stem to his door.

As soon as the door opened, Laughdads bounded up and licked his charge before snuffling at Weywot.
"Hahahaha, missed ya too Dads! And dis is Weywot, remember her!" Rightdad snorted happily at the blueblood, and Leftdad shoved his nose into her shirt, taking a nice big snuff before bumping his cold wet nose against her cheek in greeting, "Awlright awlright, outta da way now! Come on Wey, lemme show ya round!" Frendo said as he pushed his overly friendly lusus back so that they could actually enter his small hive.

The room they entered was cluttered with random junk, like pots and bags of dirt and trowels, and a couple run down couches and a table covered in old magazines about adventure and danger. It was obviously supposed to be a livingroom of sorts. Though Frendo obviously used it for semi-storage.

Weywot kept her head down and ducked as the other spoke, telling her they were going to his house. That sounded good. Part of her wanted to tell him they could eat somewhere else if they wanted, besides his hive, but in all honesty someone's hive sounded like the best option. Plus he said it'd be quiet. It wasn't like loud noises scared her, there was just so many new noises. She heard them before, but muffled and from the safety of a tunnel she was settled in for that day.

When she was lead by her hand, Weywot went complaisantly. Following Frendo was the easy part. He was guiding her through things and also sort of explaining things about certain buildings and shops, and it made her head come up a bit more. It wasn't confidence, but at least with Frendo it didn't feel like she was going to get attacked for no reason. Anyone who tried to do that with a blueblood must have had a death wish, first of all, but the hemospectrum hierarchy made no sense to her, so she still feared.

But the bustle mellowed out a bit to a part of town that looked a bit different. Still not friendly, but Frendo didn't seem to hesitate, so she wasn't going to worry.

At long last they got to his hive and Weywot pulled her own hand back and clutched at her chest again as he opened the door and his...Laughdads apparently came out. Oh well, she had a badger mom, so all in all she couldn't say much. Then they were sniffing her and pushing her and she just made a slightly startled whine before Frendo came to her rescue again.

"N-NICE TO MEET YOU," was said to the dads before they got to his room. Once there, she went to one of the couches and just kind of flopped on it without much thought. It was fine, dirt and all, because it still smelled familiar and yet not. After a few moments of the quiet, she looked back at Frendo, blinking at him.

"....So I'm here."
